Q: What is a Renunciation/Surrender Certificate?

A: Renunciation/Surrender Certificate is issued to applicants who surrender their Indian passport after acquiring foreign nationality.

Q: What is the difference between Surrender Certificate & Renunciation Certificate?

A:   Both are same.

Once you acquire foreign citizenship you have to surrender your last held Indian passport to Indian Consulate for cancellation. Consulate will cancel and return it to you along with a Renunciation/Surrender Certificate.

Q: I applied for renunciation through CKGS. But I lost the renunciation certificate. Can I get a copy of the same?

A: Before November 2020, the Consulate only maintained record of the surrendered Indian passport but we do not keep the copies of granted renunciation certificates.
