Hi All,

I need some help with the renunciation process. I am confused about the number of photos that needs to be submitted with the documents. Do you paste one on the form filled on the gov.in site and then send 2 additional photos with the documents? Or, you just send two photos without pasting one on the form?

Thanks

I pasted one and sent two additional. It got approved without a problem, although they sent me back the 2 photos, but I would still just send them.

Hi
i want to ask one thing .i send my renunciation application with all documents to the vfs but i did one mistake i didnot signed on my U S passpory and the copy i send to them ofcourse it also donot have signature on the signature. Will they reject my application ?

Thanks for the reply. When I choose the option #1 then it generated check list. The heading of the check list reads --> "Naturalized on or After 1st June 2020 - DO NOT HAVE MOST RECENT INDIAN PASSPORT - UNITED STATES", Which is incorrect. There is no clear explanation of these options.

I think the options that show up in the VFS online application form - with STAMP/without STAMP is a typo. It should be with PASSPORT/without PASSPORT. Like the other person (@Donald Trump) said, we all are doing this in order to get the stamp. But since they have 4 options in the Documents check list - on or after June 1, 2010 with/without passport and before June 1, 2010 with/without passport - I am drawing the above conclusion. Therefore, I am choosing the option after June 1, 2010 with STAMP and hoping I am right.

NOTE - I already got rejected once since I sent my forms to Washington DC consulate office (which is correct since I live in NC) but I wrongly registered on the passport govt. website by choosing Atlanta and it ended up printing the renunciation application with Atlanta showing up on the header. Even though I saw it before sending, I didn't know how to fix it because I forgot it was part of the registration profile. After they rejected the application saying "wrong jurisdiction", I figured it out the hard way that it was part of the passport website registration which doesn't allow you to edit your profile! So, I had to create another profile with Washington DC as the correct embassy. And I have selected the option after June 1, 2010 with STAMP as I said before and hoping it is all going to be OK!!!

Please help me. I am trying to complete this stupid renunciation form on VFS Global. I have one child that was Indian Citizen and the form asked me "Do you have Minor Children, who are / were Citizens of India?*. When I clicked yes, it asks me following and I have no clue what details should be provided. Should this be Indian PP or US PP? When I print the renunciation form, it appears that Passport Number and Issue Date pertains to US whereas all address details are related to Indian PP. What a nightmarish VFS process!

Please help. When I preview the renunciation form after filling out this details, it displays following text on the form-

Minor Child 1,<xxxxx Name from Form> ,born in <Address details on form including Country> on DOB from the form fields below having a US / Foreign Passport Number : Passport nUmber entered belowIssued on Date of Issue in the form below.

Fields on VFS Global form as following:

Surname (Last Name)
First Name*
Middle Name (If any)
Passport Number*
Date of Issue*
Date Of Birth*
Country*
Pincode*
Address 1*
Address 2
Address 3

Hi bharq1gt - Were you able to resolve your question on minor's passport details entry if the minor still has/her Indian passport only (No US passport yet)? I am in the same situation I am not sure what to enter, there is no option to enter India passport details, VFS website assumes the minor has US passport

Anyone recently applied at SF for renunciation? VFS says processing is 5-7 days and cgisf says 30 days. Trying to get an idea about when to call VFS for the processing delay..

Applying for Renunciation. Gathering my documents as per the check list. Looking at the checklist, it states that i have to upload the digital image of my photo and digital signature but not sure where to. There is no specific instruction given for that. Help me please if anyone know.

I applied few weeks back and there was no digital upload of photo/signature for renunciation (it is only for OCI I think).
I printed the form the Govt website and manually signed and pasted the photo

Hi Guys,

I need help with name we need to put on both Government Application Online Form and Renunciation Certificate. My wife's name on her India's passport has her last name before marriage and her US passport (and the naturalization certificate) has my last name. The guidelines from VFS (link given given below) say that we need to put the details based on existing passport. Does it mean Indian Passport or US passport?

https://www.vfsglobal.com/one-pager/india/united-states-of-america/renunciation-of-indian-citizenship/pdf/naturalized-on-or-after-1st-june-2010.pdf

Specifically, I am looking for name for

1) Applicant's Name under Applicant Details in Government Application Online Form
2) Three places where we need to enter name in the Renunciation Certificate

I read somewhere else that name on the Renunciation Certificate needs to be name on the Indian Passport. If that is true, I am not sure how one can solemnly declare and sign on the Certificate (which is what the Certificate requires) when the name is not legally correct.

I contacted VFS, but did not receive any reply from them.

Has anyone run into similar issue? If so, please let me know how you applied.

Hi

I'm in a similar situation. I changed my name during naturalization. On the Government and VFS forms (for renunciation), should I use my current name (as it appears on US passport) or should I be entering my old name (as it appears on my Indian passport) ?

Also in today's world-We have all got smartphones and scanner apps,Right?Has anybody took a pic of the passport pages and certificate of naturalisation and from their scanner app and sent the print or have you guys personally walked to nearby centers to take a photocopy?Can anybody advise me if I can follow the scanner app process .

v confusing, they are asking to submit separate application for minor then why asking minor details along with adult renunciation. Did anyone repeated whole process for adult and then minors?
