This query is : Resolved
Origin : Indian
1) Birth Certificate of my father
2) Marriage Certificate of my parents
3) Passport copy of my cousin Indian/Mother Indian/Sister Indian (for reference)
4) My School Leaving Certificate
5) My Baptismal Certificate
6) CPR of my late father
Case: The person parents applied for and received Bahraini citizenship. However, before the issuance of the Baharini passport the father passed away. (Death Certificate available)
Apparently, this made null and void the chance of the the dependents being issued a Bahrain or Indian passport.
The death certificate of the parent has not helped initiate a naturalization process either from Bahrain or India.
During the Amnesty period a few years ago the person traveled with their mother and sibling. Unfortunately, he was turned back but his family traveled on to India where they now have status as a citizens and documentary proof thereof.
All aid from the Indian or Bahrain consulates are not forthcoming.

Hi,
Thank you for the response.
Please note that the person has not had a passport issued to him for 37 years.
His father was an indian at the time of his birth but surrendered all his original documents along with his and his sibling/mother.
The Indian high commission has refused his request for citizenship as his father nationality says he is a Bahraini.
But at the time of his birth both parents were India.

Now only by way of naturalisation he can acquire Indian citizenship.
