Indian Passport Surrender and Renunciation Support
Indian Passport Surrender and Renunciation Support in Ireland
After acquiring another citizenship, a former Indian citizen may need to surrender the Indian passport and complete the relevant renunciation process. The terminology and required steps should be checked carefully because passport surrender, cancellation and renunciation documentation serve related but distinct administrative purposes.
IRLD provides practical support with understanding the application route, organising evidence and preparing the information required by the official authority.

- Reviewing current and previous Indian passport details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is passport surrender the same as applying for OCI?
No. Passport surrender or renunciation deals with the former Indian citizenship and passport. OCI is a separate application and has its own eligibility and document requirements.
Can IRLD cancel my Indian passport?
No. Only the relevant official authority can cancel or formally accept the surrender of the passport.
