Minor child cannot hold the passport of any other country while simultaneously holding an Indian passport
Under the Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2026, the specific rule regarding minor citizenship dictates that a minor child cannot hold the passport of any other country while simultaneously holding an Indian passport.
Parents or applicants must formally acknowledge this condition by signing a newly added declaration in the application stating: “I… have also noted that my minor child… cannot at any time hold the passport of any other country while also holding the Indian passport”
