Answer 3

Shalaka, If your son had a previous passport (that is why you are renewing right?) what ID's did he have then? Did they require you to furnish them such? If so, then those ID's are the same thing they may ask from you. After all, the Indian Consulate (passport section) is just an extension of the passport office back in India. So they will require the same things from you as they did then.**
