Hi Prashant! Your daughter needs to apply for reissuance of OCI Card online. She may get the electronic version this time. However, it is not guaranteed. E-OCI is gradually rolling out.

However, she has completed 20 years, and she received new US passport. As per OCI rules, one has to renew OCI after receiving new passport after reaching 20 years of age. Will she have to apply for e-OCI now or old paper OCI?

Hi Mr Mehta! If you got a new US passport after you received the OCI card, you need to update the passport details. Otherwise, not required.

Hi Vishwa! New applicants have more chances to get e-OCI than existing physical OCI Cardholders (during updation or reissuance).
