Official screenshots and examples

This live FAQ screenshot is an excerpt of the supporting-document checklist, not the full list and not a PDF upload form. Document requirements depend on your application category and mission. TravelPrepKit's 10–500 KB preparation range is not a universal government upload limit.

  1. 1. Check the document checklist for your category

    Open Question 7 in the OCI FAQ and read the full list alongside your mission's checklist. Scan the required documents clearly, combine pages only as directed, and prepare PDFs to the limit displayed by your live upload. Keep the photograph and signature as separate image files.

Questions

What is the OCI document upload size limit?

TravelPrepKit prepares each PDF between 10 KB and 500 KB, a conservative cap. Some missions use 200 KB or 300 KB, so confirm the limit on the portal for your jurisdiction.

Can I combine several pages into one PDF?

Yes. Add photos or scans of each page to prepare one A4 PDF. Review readability and the final size; use a clearer scan if a readable copy cannot fit the cap.

Do I upload my photo as a PDF too?

No. The photograph and the signature are separate JPEG uploads. Only the supporting documents are PDFs.
