OCI Card Services
Overseas Citizen of India — new, re-issue and updates, handled end-to-end. The OCI card gives people of Indian origin lifelong visa-free entry and near-resident rights. Applications are document-heavy and re-issue is mandatory at certain milestones. NOS manages new OCI, re-issue and updates with the correct proofs and consulate coordination.
Understand the service
What we can help with
An OCI card gives lifelong visa-free travel and residence in India. The portal splits into fresh registration (former citizens, people of Indian origin, spouses, minors, foreign-born children) and miscellaneous services for existing cardholders (re-issue on a new passport, particulars updates, lost / damaged / duplicate, surrender). A clean adult re-issue or a gratis passport upload is straightforward and fixed-price. Others take more work — a name / DOB reconciliation (affidavit or Gazette), missing historical or origin records, a minor or foreign-born child. Spouse-basis OCI (which needs a marriage subsisting 2+ years, prior security clearance and a mandatory interview), prior rejections, citizenship questions and court-directed matters are handled by a legal expert. Eligibility bars — the Pakistan / Bangladesh ancestry rule and prohibited-status rules under Section 7A — are checked first and explained plainly. Government / consular and VFS / CKGS fees are passed through at cost.
How it works on the ground
The government process is scattered across portals, offices and paperwork. NOS turns it into one guided flow.
The reality on the ground
What you face today
Processed via the MHA / consulate portal; requires proof of Indian origin and prior nationality.
Re-issue rules (passport renewal for minors, thresholds by age) trip many applicants.
Document scanning specs and signatures are strict and easily rejected.
Coordinating with the right consulate / VFS from a third country is confusing.

What we handle
How it works
- 01Step 1
Tell us your scenario
A short questionnaire — the service, your applicant category, and a few eligibility questions. A clean adult re-issue on a new passport is quick and fixed-price.
- 02Step 2
Eligibility checked, Case Manager assigned
We run the Section 7A eligibility gates first and assign a dedicated Case Manager you can message before you pay. Spouse-basis, disputes and citizenship questions get a clear plan and price first.
- 03Step 3
We coordinate MHA / Mission / FRRO
We prepare and verify the documents, source the underlying TG / AP civil records correctly the first time, and coordinate the MHA OCI portal, the Indian Mission (VFS / CKGS) or FRRO Hyderabad — acting through a Power of Attorney where needed.
- 04Step 4
Issued & tracked
DeliveredYour OCI is issued (e-OCI where available), tracked in your dashboard end-to-end, and couriered internationally where required.
What you'll typically need
- The service you need (new OCI, re-issue, update, lost / damaged) and your applicant category
- Your current foreign passport (valid 6+ months) and any prior Indian passport / renunciation certificate
- Indian-origin / relationship proof and your ancestor's place (now in TG or AP)
- For a spouse application: marriage registration and how long it has subsisted
