e-OCI Card Download Service

The e-OCI is the official digital version of the OCI card, issued through India's Bureau of Immigration. It's a QR-verified PDF you save on your phone and present at airline check-in and Indian immigration, carrying exactly the same lifelong rights as your physical OCI card.

It's fully official — generated on the Government of India's own OCI portal and secured with a verifiable QR code that immigration and airline staff can scan against India's system. It is not a photo, screenshot or unofficial copy.

You don't need to navigate the OCI portal yourself. We recover or register your portal account, generate the e-OCI on the official system, verify every detail, and deliver it to your phone as a QR-verified PDF — usually within 24 hours once your OCI is linked to your current passport.

Yes. The e-OCI sits alongside your physical OCI card, which remains valid. You lose nothing by going digital — you simply gain an official version that's always on your phone and can be re-downloaded anytime.

£40 per applicant, covering OCI portal account recovery or registration, generation of your e-OCI on the official system, a full verification check, and secure delivery to your phone. No VFS fee and no travel — it's entirely online.

If your OCI is already linked to your current passport, we generally deliver your e-OCI within 24 hours of order confirmation. If linking is needed first, that runs on the OCI transfer timeline (typically 40–45 days end to end) and the e-OCI follows the moment linking completes.

Any existing OCI holder whose record is linked to their current passport. If your OCI is still in progress — a Fresh OCI, Renewal, Spouse OCI or Surrender + OCI — we generate the e-OCI as soon as that record is processed and live on the official system.

Not until linking is done — the e-OCI is generated from your OCI record, so it has to show your current passport first. We handle the OCI transfer to your new passport, and your e-OCI follows once that linking completes.

Yes. A new passport starts a 90-day window to update your OCI record, and under the digital regime that update is issued as an e-OCI. We handle it inside the window so an out-of-date record never slows you at immigration and you avoid the late-correction route.

As soon as your OCI is processed and shows as live on the official system. Once your record is ready, we generate your e-OCI and deliver it to your phone — just let us know and we'll take care of it.

Your e-OCI carries the same validity as your OCI itself. The one thing that resets it is a new passport: each time you renew, your OCI record needs to be updated to show the current passport, and your e-OCI is re-generated to match. Between renewals it stays valid on your phone.

Yes — children and newborns with an OCI are eligible on the same basis as adults: the OCI record simply needs to show the child's current passport. We generate and deliver the child's e-OCI to your phone the same way.

A lost or damaged card is formally replaced through the OCI miscellaneous route, not by the e-OCI. But the e-OCI is an official digital copy you can present straight away, so you're not left without proof of your status while the replacement is arranged.

The e-OCI is the official digital OCI issued by India's Bureau of Immigration, made to be shown at airline check-in and immigration, where the QR code is scanned to verify it. Carry your passport (and your physical OCI card while you still have it) alongside it, as during the rollout some staff are still getting used to the digital format.

Yes — always travel with your passport. The e-OCI proves your OCI status and is scanned alongside your passport at immigration; it doesn't replace the passport itself.

As a QR-verified PDF sent securely to your phone, with simple instructions for saving it offline and presenting it at check-in and immigration. Because it's digital, you can keep copies on more than one device and re-download it whenever you need.

Just your OCI number, your current passport details, and the email address used for your original OCI application. If your portal login has been forgotten — which is common — we recover or register the account for you.

No. Generating an e-OCI needs a live OCI portal login, which we recover or register — preferably through your own email so you forward a one-time code and stay in control. We use it once to generate your card and never store it.

Yes, free of charge. Send your OCI number and current passport details on WhatsApp and we'll confirm whether your record is linked and e-OCI-ready, or needs updating first — so you know your exact route and price before paying anything.

We verify the name, OCI number, passport link and QR code before your e-OCI is ever sent to you, so errors are caught up front. If your underlying OCI record itself needs a correction, that's handled through the OCI miscellaneous update route, which we can also arrange.
