OCI Documents returned unprocessed for Passport Renewal
I sent my daughter's OCI Renewal Application to CKGS Chicago and it was retuned to me unprocessed because I didn't upload her OCI document. I received the application back. I have few questions as I am trying to re-do all over again.
1. Should I continue working on the old reference number generated by Filling Part A and B or should I start all over again which will generate a brand new reference number ?
2. Does the Parental Authorization Form need to be notarized ?
3. CKGS put a note stating that I have "Incorrect Present Address" ? What does it mean? 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.
It has 2 section- (i) DECLARATION (II) Application for Minor Child

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.
