Urgent - PIO Endorsement for New Passport (Minor)

[sameria]

Hi,

Greetings!

My Son recently turned 5 (Five) (01/26/2014) and we had applied for his new US passport. We have received his new US passport with new number and valid till 2019.He currently has valid PIO card till 2024. Now my family is going to visit India on May 12th'2014. My question is whether it would be a problem if his new passport number is not endorsed on PIO Card OR can he carry both passports (New and Old) along with PIO card? Will it suffice if he carries both passports along with PIO?

I don't have enough time to get PIO endorsed and my wife is traveling alone with kids. It would be helpful if someone can let us know if we need to carry anything else apart from old and new passport in case of non-endorsement of PIO card so that my family doesn't face any issue. Has any one faced any difficulty or heard about any issues at port of entry in India in case of non-endorsement of PIO card with new passport information?

I'd appreciate if I can get a response ASAP.

Thanks in advance

No need. Take the old passport, new passport, and old PIO card. You should not have a problem entering or exiting india.
I did that with my minor kid. We did not face any problems.

Thanks Ravi. How recent was that? Was it fairly recent?

Also did you carry any other document apart from Old and New PP with PIO?
