What is a Surrender Certificate?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Surrender Certificate is an official document issued by the Embassy of India confirming that an individual has surrendered their Indian passport after acquiring foreign nationality.<\/span><\/p><p><b>2. Who needs to apply for a Surrender Certificate?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Any person of Indian origin who has acquired foreign citizenship and holds a foreign passport must surrender their Indian passport and obtain a Surrender Certificate.<\/span><\/p><p><b>3. Why is a Surrender Certificate important?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is a legal requirement under Indian law. Holding an Indian passport after acquiring foreign citizenship is a violation of the Indian Passport Act. The certificate is also required for applying for OCI (Overseas Citizenship of India) or visa services.<\/span><\/p><p><b>4. Where can I apply for a Surrender Certificate in South Korea?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can apply at the nearest <\/span><b>Indian Consular Application Centre (ICAC)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in South Korea. The ICAC forwards your application to the Embassy of India for processing.<\/span><\/p><p><b>5. Do I need to appear in person?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes. The applicant must appear in person at the ICAC to submit the application and original documents.<\/span><\/p><p><b>6. How long does it take to get the Surrender Certificate?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The processing time is typically <\/span><b>7\u201310 working days<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, depending on document verification and Embassy clearance.<\/span><\/p><p><b>7. What is the fee for the Surrender Certificate?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fees vary based on the date of acquiring foreign nationality. Please refer to the fee chart at ICAC or their website for the latest consular and service charges.<\/span><\/p><p><b>8. Can I still travel to India without a Surrender Certificate?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No. You must obtain a visa or OCI card to travel to India after acquiring foreign citizenship. The Surrender Certificate is a prerequisite for these services.<\/span><\/p><p><b>9. What happens if I don\u2019t surrender my Indian passport?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Retaining and using an Indian passport after acquiring foreign nationality is a punishable offense under Indian law. You may face penalties or denial of future consular services.<\/span><\/p><p><b>10. Can I apply for a Surrender Certificate if my Indian passport is lost?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes. In case of a lost passport, you must submit a <\/span><b>police report or loss affidavit<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> along with other required documents. The Embassy will issue the Surrender Certificate after due verification.<\/span><\/p><p><b>11. Can someone else submit or collect the certificate on my behalf?<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No. Due to the sensitive nature of the document, the applicant must apply and collect it in person.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">\u00a0<\/p>                                        <\/div>\n\t\t                    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94ada4a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"94ada4a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Information How To Apply Document Checklist thailand-bhat Fees Details FAQ&#8217;s Surrender Certificate A Surrender Certificate is issued to Indian nationals who have acquired foreign citizenship and are required to formally renounce their Indian citizenship.
