notarized documents for OCI card

[ABC_XYZ]

Hello,

Do we have to get the documents notarized while uploading the supporting documents for OCI card (OCI card in-lieu of PIO card) on Government of India OCI website? I know I need to do that while sending the copies of the documents to CKGS, but it in unclear whether notarization is required even for uploading the documents in the website.
Additionally, I am applying this OCI card for my 5 year old daughter. So while self-attesting, does my daughter need to sign the supporting documents? Will her signature would be enough or do I and my wife also need to sign?

I would appreciate your guidance!

Best Regards,

Uploaded documents don't need to be notarized.
Any documents for your daughter should be signed by both parents.

I would verify with CKGS

When it comes to dealing with the Indian government or their partners - particularly for things like OCI card - I would not take a chance. I would call CKGS customer service at 646-589-0088 and verify this.
