If you've recently renewed your Dutch passport and hold an OCI card, the Bureau of Immigration advises eligible OCI cardholders to update their new passport details online through the official OCI Services Portal within the prescribed timeframe.

If you hold an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card, your OCI records may still contain your previous passport details. When you renew your passport, it does not automatically update the passport information linked to your OCI records.

Completing the update within this period helps you benefit from the free online update process, while updates submitted later may attract applicable government fees under the current guidelines.
