FAQs – Lost OCI Card UK
Do I need a police report for a lost OCI card?
In most cases, yes. A simple loss declaration or local police report will be required. We can guide you through creating it properly.
How long does it take to replace a lost OCI card?
On average, 6–8 weeks. We help ensure your application is complete and submitted correctly to avoid delays.
Can I travel to India without my OCI card?
In most cases, no. You’ll either need a valid OCI card or apply for an eVisa. We offer eVisa assistance if you're in a rush.
What if I only lost my OCI booklet but still have the passport sticker?
You’ll still need a replacement. OCI cards are now issued as booklets only, so a new one will be required.
