OCI Renewal Application Returned Unprocessed
I sent my daughter's OCI Renewal Application to CKGS Chicago and it was returned unprocessed because I didn't upload her OCI documents . I received the application back. I have few questions. Please help me by answering these

1. Should I continue working on the old reference number generatored by Filling Part A and B. or should I start all over again ..which will give me a new number ?

2. Does Parental Authorization Form need to be notarized ?

3. I see CKGS notes stating that I put ""Incorrect Present Address". I am not sure what it means? How can present address be incorrect ? When OCI was issued for the first time, we had another address and since then we have moved and now we have a new address. When I entered all the info on https://ociservices.gov.in/, it never asked for new address. So when the form A and B was printed, it had old address printed. While submitting the form to CKGS, I put the Divers License which had the new address. So when they say "Incorrect Present Address" what does it really mean? and what I need to do to rectify with the new address ?

4. Digital Photo is already printed on OCI form which I got from https://ociservices.gov.in/, . Do I need to put physical photo on top of digital photo? or should I just send the physical photo separately and not paste on top of digital photo ?

5. Same questions as #4 above but this is about signature. Digital signature is already printed on OCI form which I got from https://ociservices.gov.in/, . Do I need to put actual signature on top of digital signature? or should I ask the minor kid to have another signature below the digital signature ?

6. What are the document I need to upload on Government of India website for OCI RE-ISSUE NEW PASSPORT ? Is Current US Passport and Old OCI Card good enough or do I need to upload more documents or any additional documents ? Does any of these documents needs to be notarized ?

7. After filling the application for OCI RE-ISSUE NEW PASSPORT on Government of India website, I got Form A and B printed. However, I am not sure how to handle the last page which is about the DECLARATION. Just wanted to remind you that this application is for Minor. Please see the form below.

7A - Should I enter the minor kid's name in DECLARATION ?

7B - I can write my name in where it says "I am a parent/ legal guardian**/ legal adoptee parent of ........................................................." but who should sign where it says "Signature of the Applicant" ? Should parent sign it here or the minor kid? Not very sure of from the form.
