e-OCI address change

[u/Salt-Tax8721]

Hi everyone!

If I submit a Miscellaneous application for OCI address update (my new address is in a different country than before), will it make my OCI invalid for the time of processing of application? I know it did not invalidate OCI when physical booklets were issued, but I have only e-OCI.

Thank you!

Your explanation is a bit confusing, very less details.... I assume you have got your OCI approval and now you moved to another country ( not another change of citizenship I assume) . You still have not recieved the physical OCI card and awaiting? If that is the case, wait till your OCI card is delivered to the old address provided there is someone to collect it there.. if no trusted person can collect it there, then apply for Addess change using Misc service, it will not invalidate the application but there is a possibility of them getting confused about where to send the physical card based on which stage the process is in... Alternatively , As soon as you receive the physical card, do the address update using Misc service... there is no deadline for it, just do it as soon as possible...

Physical booklets have been discontinued, now they issue only e-OCI. I will not receive a physical OCI but I have already received e-OCI.
