Q.1214 OCI endorsed in New Zealand Passport but currently holding
Australian Passport.
Question: Hi
My OCI status is endorsed in my expired New Zealand Passport. I carry an Australian passport now. Should I endorse
the OCI in to my current Australian Passport.
Thanks
Answer: Since there is a change in your passport particulars and your passport country has changed, you should notify
the authorities that you no longer carry a New Zealand passport and now have an Australian passport.
Changes to an OCI holder’s record are generally done using the OCI miscellaneous services a procedure that is initiated
online.
The practice of pasting OCI U visa has been discontinued, now a new OCI booklet would be issued by the authorities
and this is sufficient proof of OCI for travel to India
