What is the Validity Period of an OCI Card?

13 December, 2024 at 6:21 am

An OCI card is valid lifelong. However, an OCI card has to be re-issued under certain circumstances. Like, when the OCI cardholder turns 20 and gets a new passport, and when the cardholder turns 50. OCI cardholders between the ages of 21 and 50 don’t have to re-issue their OCI card every time they get a new passport.

    My parents were Indian citizens at the time of framing the Indian constitution and also Indian citizens after January 26, 1950. So, I'm also eligible to hold an OCI card.
