General Information
Any Indian Passport holder, who acquires foreign nationality, is required to surrender his/her latest Indian Passport at the Indian Consulate/Embassy of their jurisdiction at the earliest.
It is a punishable offence under the Indian Passport Act, 1967 to apply for Indian passport or continue to hold an Indian passport or get an Indian passport re-issued or to travel on Indian passport after acquiring foreign citizenship.
The Indian Citizenship Act, 1955, does not allow DUAL Citizenship. Hence, a person of Indian origin who has ceased to be an Indian citizen by virtue of Section 8 or Section 9 of the Citizenship Act, 1955 and has obtained the Passport of another country is required to surrender the latest Indian Passport immediately after acquiring foreign nationality.
All the persons of India origin, who have acquired foreign nationality on or after June 01, 2010, must surrender their Indian Passport.
A Surrender Certificate is issued after the application for surrender of Indian Passport is physically submitted at the Embassy of India, Paramaribo.
