e-OCI
The Government of India has introduced the e-OCI facility, enabling OCI Cardholders to generate and store a digital version of their OCI Card on their mobile device. The existing physical OCI Card remains valid.
From 08 July 2026 onwards, only digital OCI cards (e-OCI) will be issued to all new OCI applicants
The application process remains the same. This is a welcome digital initiative that makes it easier for OCI Cardholders to keep their documents readily accessible while travelling.
