My son was born in USA and never had Indian Citizenship. He got his original OCI in 2008 (when he was 19) along with rest of our family. Now he is 25 and just got his new US passport. In the instructions for getting the OCI reissued, it says:
For Minors-Copies of Parents Proof of Renunciation-only applies if applicant's old OCI card was issued before June 1st, 2010:
If one parent or both parents are naturalized citizens; proof of renunciation for parent(s) must be provided, one of the following must be produced as proof:
A certificate of renunciation issued by a Consulate of India or,
Cancelled Indian passport with stamp stating the passport is canceled due to obtaining US (or any non Indian country) citizenship.
If parent(s) need to obtain renunciation certificate, please apply for renunciation certificate prior to submitting application for minor.
Since he is not a minor, can we assume that this requirement doesn't apply to him? Thanks.
