After obtaining the US new passport, you will have to apply for OCI Miscellaneous services. Process is similar to OCI application, i.e. online regiatration. Fee for this service is $25. A new OCI sticker and new OCI booklet will be issued. You cannot do it as a walk-in, documents are issued in New Delhi and sent to Indian mission.

Get OCI reissued after passport renewal OR travel with both passports?
- Thread starter thinker_new
- Start date
I 'm just curious, do we need to send them every time we get new passports ? Just carrying old passport that has U visa along with the new passport is OK right ?
Thanks,

For adults yes, carrying old passport with OCI visa along with new passport is acceptable. For children it is required to obtain new OCI visas whenever a new passport is issued. This is probably to deal with changes in appearance as kids grow up. Check Miscellaneous OCI Services at
