    \n
  1. \u00a0In case an OCI cardholder below the age of 20 years has not got the OCI card re-issued on change of passport, he\/she may travel on the strength of his\/her existing OCI card bearing old passport number subject to the condition that OCI Cardholder carries the new passport, as well as old passport mentioned in the OCI card.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. In case an OCI cardholder who has attained the age of 50 years and has got his\/her passport renewed subsequently but has not got his\/her OCI card re-issued on renewal of his\/her passport, he\/she may travel on the strength of the existing OCI card along with the old and new passports.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For the issuance of OCI cards, the following guidelines have been in force since 2005:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. OCI card needs to be re-issued each time a new passport is acquired by the <\/span>cardholder up to the age of 20 years.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. OCI card is required to be re-issued once on acquiring a new passport after <\/span>completing 50 years of age.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Re-issuance of OCI card is not required each time a passport is issued to a <\/span>cardholder between 21 and 50 years of age.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      It is, however, advised that OCI cardholders may take steps to comply with the <\/span>existing OCI guidelines in force since 2005 and renew their OCI cards as required by the rules.<\/span><\/p>\n
