Hello All,

 

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but just trying my shot here.

 

I'm trying to renounce my Indian citizenship as India doesn't allow Dual citizenship, during the application process I came across a this requirement AFFIDAVIT OF NATURALISATION AFTER THE EXPIRY OF INDIAN PASSPORT – ORIGINAL & NOTARIZED
If the applicant was naturalized after the date of expiry of the latest held Indian passport. A notarized affidavit may be submitted explaining the background and the reason for this gap.
 

My Indian passport expired in January of this year and I didn't realize that, do you have a template/letter/affadavit I can refer to and use it? I tried to look for it online but didn't find any. Thanks in advance.

Indonesia has a similar law.  When my wife naturalized, she gave up her Indonesian citizenship.  In her case, the trigger was:

 

> Voluntarily obtaining another nationality or taking an oath of allegiance to another country;

 

She didn't fill out any forms.  We just put her Indonesian passport in the safe deposit box and never used it again.

 

I see a similar clause in the Indian nationality law that says that if you voluntarily take an oath to another country your Indian citizenship is "automatically lost".

 

If you have already naturalized in the U.S. and have a passport, I suggest that you can put your Indian passport away and not worry about having to tell India that you've left.  Filling out the form may cause you more trouble than it is worth.

 

Regards,

Vicky's Mom

There is no specific template. Just write a affidavit stating why you didn't renew it. And get it notarized. Dont ever send your PP to Indian Consulate without the renunciation forms.
