FAQ
Common questions
What does the £199 bundle include?
It covers Matrix preparation of BOTH the surrender / renunciation certificate application and the Fresh OCI application, plus VFS booking and tracking. Government and VFS fees are paid separately.
Why bundle surrender and OCI together?
A renunciation certificate (or surrender annotation) is required before Fresh OCI. Preparing both together avoids gaps and a second round of paperwork.
Can I do just the surrender?
Yes — see our standalone Surrender of Indian Passport service (£100). This £199 bundle is for clients who also want Fresh OCI.
Do I attend VFS in person?
In most cases, yes. We book the correct VFS centre and prepare the full submission package for both stages.
Are there penalty fees for late surrender?
The Indian Government sets penalty fees by year of naturalisation. We confirm current rates on WhatsApp once you share your naturalisation date.
