OCI - Online form questions
Hi,

I am applying for a new OCI for my 15 month old son (minor). After filling out the form online on the govt site, and printing it out, my questions are:

1) The OCI checklist from the VFS site says that for the Govt Appl. Online Form, in case of minor, both parents signatures are required. But, on the printed form, there is place for only one signature, where can the other parent sign? Would signing next to initial sign be acceptable?
2) The OCI checklist from the VFS site also says notary is required on the last page of the OCI form. I assume this would be the page where the parents would sign (the page says page 3 of 6), but pages 4,5 and 6 are instructions pages. Is this true?
3)With regards to photos, it says two passport size photos are required. The physical photo must be affixed to the physical form and the digital photo must be uploaded on the Govt. form online. Now,, I uploaded the digital photo online and the printed copy of the form already has the picture of the photo. Do I still need to affix the physical photo on the printed form? If yes, where? Where the digital photo appears on the printed form? And what about the second photo? Just send it with the other documents?
4) The thumb impression for my son is also appears under the photo from what I had uploaded online. Do I need to get my son thumb print page 3, where it asks for the signature of the applicant?
5)And in the instructions it says documents must be self attested. How is that done? Just sign every page in each document?
6)And the OCI checklist from the VFS site asks fpr Applicants name, email, passport no., and mobile, do we need to fill that? And filling in with handwriting is fine? Or should it be typed in?

Ant help appreciated!

Thanks!
