  • Does the Indian Consulate return the Renunciation Certificate form back?

    Hello,

    I became a US naturalized citizen in April. I received my US passport in May. Immediately after I received my US passport, I applied for renunciation of my Indian passport through VFS. My location is San Francisco.

    I believe my application was processed correctly as I received a new one-page Surrender Certificate signed and stamped by the Vice Consul from the San Francisco Consulate General. Along with this, I also received my previous Indian passport with a canceled stamp (due to foreign citizenship).

    Earlier, during the VFS application process, I had to sign and submit two original copies of the Renunciation Certificate form. It looked something like this: https://www.vfsglobal.com/one-pager/...lable-form.pdf

    The bottom section of that same form seems to be a Surrender Certificate that is expected to be filled out by an officer from the Consulate General. I was expecting to receive this back after the Consulate Officer signed it but I never received this specific form back. Instead, as I mentioned earlier I received a separate Surrender Certificate with no reference to my Renunciation form (though it included the same details from it).

    So is this expected? That I don't get back the Renunciation Certification form I signed and submitted to VFS? And instead I get a separate Surrender Certificate from the Consulate General?

    Thank you!

    - Surrender Certificate / Renunciation Certificate are one and the same.
    - You do not get the signed form you submitted with the form anymore (don't know why they still ask for it). The printed one-page certificate along with the cancelled passport is all you get.
    - Everything is in order. You are good to go. Nothing to worry about.

    Tip: Scan the certificate & cancelled passport and save safely in a digital locker or cloud, don't know when you might need it again.

        i am trying to submit the renunciation form online via VFS and do not see option of signing it electronically. Does the certificate have to be signed before submission ?
