OCI Card Application Support
OCI Card Application Support in Ireland
IRLD supports eligible applicants in Ireland with new OCI applications and OCI miscellaneous services. Many people refer to these services as OCI renewal or update, although the official process may describe them as reissue or miscellaneous services depending on the change involved.
OCI eligibility and document requirements depend on the applicant’s circumstances. The official OCI authority decides each application.
OCI Services We Support
New OCI Card Application
- IRLD helps applicants review the application route, organise identity and relationship evidence, prepare photographs and signatures in the required format, and keep the information consistent.
OCI Reissue or Renewal Support
An OCI cardholder may need to use the OCI miscellaneous or reissue service following the issue of a new passport or another change covered by current rules. The exact action depends on the cardholder’s age, passport history and the type of update.
- We help clients understand the relevant official option and prepare the information needed for the application.
OCI Updates and Miscellaneous Services
- IRLD assists with selecting the appropriate service and organising evidence for the requested change.
