Just became a US citizen and would like to know if I have to inform the Indian govt. abt it. Thanks.

You have to apply for renunciation of Indian Citizenship and obtain surrender certificate. India doesn't allow dual citizenship, and you can't use Indian passport to travel.

This is what my brother in law did as well. He became a US Citizen last year and I dont recall the exact happenings but he had to give up his Indian passport.

Every country is different, India as many mentioned does not allow dual citizenship. Egypt for example, I have to fill a form requesting to keep my Egyptian citizenship beside the US one, and they give me a year after my US citizenship to do that, if I did not, they drop it automatically.

Wow, Im glad you mentioned this! How do you know they drop it automatically? Is there a link to that somewhere bcz my hubby & i been searching for it. More than likely he will drop his Egyptian citizenship so we want to know for sure!

Thanks!

PalmtreeGurl,

A form should be filled either at the Egyptian consulate that manage your state (and must go in person with required documents), or he can do it if in Egypt, at (Citizenship and immigration service in Mogama El Tahrir)

I will give you the website of the Egyptian consulate in New York :

https://sites.google.com/a/egyptnyc.net/en/config/pagetemplates/consulate-sevices

Please be advised, that you need to find out which consulate will process that form for you, as we only have 5 consulates throughout the whole country, every consulate manage a group of states.

To find which one manage your state please go to the following link (If you live in Texas as I believe you have one there):

http://www.egyptembassy.net/about.html

Ask your husband to view the information in the Arabic language (you can choose to at the website) as its more detailed and direct compared to the english version.

I will send a copy of this in an email in case you did not log to this thread.

Regards.

You are now a US citizen at which point you seized to be an Indian citizen.

If you do not want to disappear for a few years in a dark sh*thole in Mumbai for document fraud and false claim of citizenship, you'll return your Indian passport within 30 days following your naturalization to the Indian consulate or embassy. At the same time you will apply for O.C.I.

You'll receive a certificate showing that you surrendered your Indian passport and will receive a blue stamp in your US passport identifying you as an American with Overseas Citizenship of India.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Yeah it depends on country, I never wished to get rid of my Egyptian one though.

I am a proud Egyptian/Amercian citizen and would love to keep both of them which I am :)

Definitely offtopic, but I really wished getting rid of Russian citizenship was as simple as getting rid of Egyptian or Indian... Oh well...
