1. In case of issuance of new passport (once a new passport is issued after completing 20 years of age.) You mentioned that if a passport is issued at the age of 18 new passport details can be uploaded online and apply for a new OCI card after 20 years. I understand from the above point that, when the person renew the passport next time, possibly at 23yrs, then the person needs to get a new OCI card. Can you clarify it?

We dont have old passports for my wife and children who have OCI, they have been updated but as emabssy has not put any OCI U visa sticker on new passport, with updated information and neither has any information on OCI, can we still travel or on transit airport there can be issue to travel to India, if it is not a direct flight. Do you know if anyone gets updated sticker on new passport or OCI. Please write.
Hello Suja, very helpful information thank you. When updating if you are a naturalized citizen the form will ask for the date, so it is good to have the naturalization certificate handy. Also the Renunciation certificate should be handy for the Indian passport under which the renunciation was registered.
