Sample Consent Letter for OCI Application for Minors Born in the USA
Updated: May 18
Many individuals have requested the VFS sample parents' consent letter for OCI applications, whether for minors or adults. If you missed my earlier blog, follow this link to view the complete OCI application process.
Note: You can download the consent letter directly from the VFS global website.
Consent Letter for OCI |
Regarding my OCI application file reference number …………………………, 1. I authorize the Indian Embassy/Consulate to make necessary corrections on observing errors in the OCI application. 2. I am aware that my consent is not an absolute binding on the Indian Embassy/Consulate in the light of the following:
(i) The consent letter is just for the sake of facilitating an OCI applicant to avoid delay in processing the OCI application and it is not an assurance to edit the OCI application completely.
(ii) All personal details are printed on the OCI card based on the information submitted in the online OCI application and hence, the responsibility lies primarily with me to fill in the correct details in the OCI application.
(iii) The OCI application with errors is liable to be rejected in some cases and may be returned to me for submitting a fresh OCI application with the correct details.
(iv) Any errors observed subsequently in the OCI card may be corrected only by submitting an OCI miscellaneous service application for the re-issue of the OCI card. (Signature of the OCI applicant) Name: Date: * Parent / legal guardian may sign the consent letter on behalf of the minor applicant. |

I used the above consent letter (in Oct 2022) for the OCI application for the minor born in the USA and got the approval. This consent letter would remain the same for adults as well.
