Do I need to update my OCI?
Only for OCI passport update
This website is not a multi-service portal. It is focused only on helping existing OCI cardholders update their OCI record with a new passport.
Existing OCI holder
You already hold an OCI card and your British/foreign passport has recently changed.
Within 90 days
Your new passport was issued in the last 90 days. Updating inside this window avoids late fees and VFS charges.
No other changes
Your name, DOB, nationality and OCI card details are unchanged. Any of those changes triggers the Miscellaneous route.
Check if OCI Link is right for you
Answer a few questions. This is a simple website guide — our team will confirm before starting.
Do you already have an OCI card?
OCI Link is only for existing OCI cardholders.
What changed on your new passport?
Standard OCI Link is mainly for passport-number updates.
When did you receive your new passport?
OCI passport details should ideally be updated within 90 days of the new passport issue date.
Is this your first new passport after turning 20?
A one-time OCI booklet re-issue applies after age 20.
Was your OCI granted through spouse route?
Spouse-based OCI holders need a subsisting marriage declaration plus spouse passport/OCI documents with the upload.
OCI Link looks suitable
Your case appears suitable for our OCI Link passport update service. We will still verify your documents before uploading.
OCI Link may be suitable
Spouse-based OCI holders can usually update the new passport online, but extra spouse/marriage declaration documents may be required.
OCI re-issue / new booklet needed
The first new passport after turning 20 requires a one-time mandatory OCI booklet re-issue (Miscellaneous Services, £125) — not a simple online link. Future passport updates can use standard OCI Link.
OCI Miscellaneous / new booklet needed (£125)
Name, DOB, nationality or appearance changes, plus lost or damaged OCI cards, require the OCI Miscellaneous / new booklet route — not a simple passport link.
Past the 90-day window — case review
Beyond 90 days from the new passport issue date, a late fee (approx £23) plus VFS charges normally apply, and the case may need the Miscellaneous route. We'll review and confirm exact costs before any payment.
Come back once your new passport is issued
OCI Link updates the OCI record with the new passport details. Start the process within 90 days of the new passport issue date. You're welcome to message us in advance so we can pre-check your documents.
You need Fresh OCI first
OCI Link is only for people who already have an OCI card. If you recently became British, you may first need Surrender Certificate and Fresh OCI.
Let us check first
This rule depends on when your OCI was issued and when your first passport after age 20 was issued. Send us your situation and we will confirm the correct route.

OCI Link vs OCI Re-issue
Use this as a simple guide. Final route depends on your exact OCI/passport history.
OCI passport details should ideally be updated within 90 days of the new passport issue date. Beyond 90 days, a late fee (approx £23) plus VFS charges normally apply.
Suitable when only the passport number changed, within 90 days, and your existing OCI details remain the same.
Required for name, DOB, nationality or appearance changes, lost or damaged OCI, and the first new passport after turning 20.
Each new passport must be linked online within 90 days. A fresh booklet is not required each time under current guidance.
The first new passport received after turning 20 triggers a one-time mandatory OCI re-issue / new booklet via Miscellaneous Services.
Turning 50 does not trigger a new booklet. Standard online passport update within 90 days remains the route.
Online passport update is allowed, but requires a subsisting marriage declaration plus the spouse's passport/OCI documents.
Case review required. Late fee, VFS charges and possible Miscellaneous routing apply. We confirm exact costs before any payment.
Common questions
Short answers for the dedicated OCI Link service.
Is there a deadline to update my OCI after a new passport?
Yes. OCI passport details should ideally be updated within 90 days of the new passport issue date. Beyond 90 days, a late fee (approx £23) plus VFS charges normally apply, and the case may need to go through Miscellaneous Services instead of the standard online link.
Do I need to update OCI when I get a new British passport?
Yes, your new passport details should be updated on the OCI system. The exact route depends on your age, OCI issue history and whether any personal details changed.
What is the difference between OCI Link (£100) and OCI Miscellaneous (£125)?
OCI Link is the online passport-detail update for straightforward cases within 90 days. OCI Miscellaneous / new booklet is required for name, DOB, nationality or appearance changes, lost or damaged OCI, and the one-time re-issue after turning 20.
Do I need a new booklet after turning 50?
No. Turning 50 does not trigger a new OCI booklet. Standard online passport update within 90 days remains the route.
What about the rule when I turn 20?
The first new passport received after turning 20 triggers a one-time mandatory OCI re-issue / new booklet via Miscellaneous Services. Subsequent passport changes go back to standard OCI Link.
Do I need to visit VFS?
For standard online passport update cases within 90 days, no VFS visit is normally required. Miscellaneous re-issue cases and past-90-day cases may require a VFS appointment.
What documents are normally needed?
Usually: current passport, old passport if available, current OCI card, recent photo and signature. Spouse-based cases also need a subsisting marriage declaration and the spouse's passport / OCI documents.
How fast do you upload?
For complete standard cases, our target is fast portal preparation and upload, usually within 24–48 hours after receiving correct documents and payment.
Can I travel while the update is processing?
Many clients travel after upload acknowledgement, but final checks are with airline and immigration officers. Carry your OCI card, current passport, old passport if available and the upload/acknowledgement confirmation.
Who operates OCI Link?
OCI Link is operated by UK Matrix Solutions Ltd, a UK-based Indian documentation service provider. This website is independent and not affiliated with VFS Global, the Indian High Commission or the Government of India.
