I applied for OCI on 5th november,2012 at FRRO, Hyderabad. I live with my parents in Proddatur town of kadapa district, A.P. Even i am having the same problem address verification. I was told by the FRRO officer at Hyderabad that i don't require any kind of registration at FRRO/FRO(KADAPA DISTRICT) so i don't have any kind of registration certificate with me. Police called me up two days back ago saying that i need to get certificate of residence from Mandal Revenue officer. Then the police will come for address verification at the place where i am staying now. It's after two weeks of applying for OCI did the person came for address verification or after 4 weeks. Did you recieve your OCI card with in the specified time or it took too long for you. If any one had gone through the same problem please help me.

Not sure why address verification is done for OCI. You need to give proof of address that's it. As long as you prove you were a Indian Citizen (or eligibility of OCI through other means) you should be good to go.

Thanks.

If you are applying for OCI in India, then police verification is a must! I had to do for my son in Bangalore!

I submitted residential permit and proof of residence along with the OCI. Noone came to verify the address.
