First of all I apologize to post this in a wrong place.

I have a simple question.
When applying for PIO card for my 5yrs old Son, Do I need to sent his US Passport?
The Application form is simply asking to sent the Photocopy of the Passport.
Not sure if that means Passport+Photo copy(Is it implied to sent the passport)

Please let me know if somebody knows the answer.

Thanks in advance.

infant can we parents submit our proof of residence?

parents passport fine

c) Do visa camps accept P.I.O applications ?

no
 
I also got reply from Indian consualte, the follwing list of documents should be sufficeint

2 set of completed application forms for each application
4 passport size photographs
Notarized copy of my wife and my Indian passport
Notarized copy of kids US passport
Money order of $170 (155+15)

If you are sending two applications then send $15 for both applications.

Kulfi, your list looks very complete!

Yasmine, its good to confirm that copy of parent's passport can be submitted for proof of permanent address in India.

Thanks!
