Sir.
DOM (Department d'outre-mer means overseas district but TOM (territoire d'outre-mer) is overseas territory,
I have not advised you to send your papers to the french nationality service. Reintegration or naturalisation requires your stay in France. I think you are residing in Pondicherry. Yours sincerely

sir, what is meant by Dom, Tom. Shall I send all the papers to service de la nationalité in france.

Sir,
Your father born in Pondicherry did not opt for him and for yourself, a minor born also in Pondicherry , to conserve the french nationality, Hence he lost the french nationality and became Indian on 16.08.1962. You have followed the condition of your father, You can try to apply for reintegration in the french nationality lost. For this a long period at least 5 years in France or in french DOM,TOM.is required, Yours sincerely
