63. How to change personal
Information on OCI Visa
Q: Dear Sir,
I have seen your answers well explained.
I'm OCI with Spanish Passport. When I applied for OCI I
wrote my occupation Professor-Catholic Priest. Now I have
already the OCI Card. But I don't that the religion is
mentioned in OCI.
What's the process to remove the religious context and let be
only "professor"?
Thank you very much
A. Changes to OCI record can be made on the Internet by
using OCI Miscellaneous Services which can be accessed from
the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) website: www.mha.nic.in.

Services.
The procedure to be followed is explained below:

need to fill in any one of the following fields to gain access:

The next step is to fill all the following fields:
1. Current Passport number
