Yes, minors can apply for an OCI card if either of their parents is eligible for an OCI card and if both parents are citizens of India. Minors must submit a notarized parental authorization form signed by both parents to apply for an OCI card. The parent’s consent letter and birth certificate of the minor are also requisite.
