Hi,
DO I've to send Original passports of mother and father to Indian Consulate if I've to renew my child's Indian passport ?

I see SFO Indian consulate lists original passport of parents in the reqd documents whereas rest of the Indian consulates say "attested passport copies"...

I don't understand how come different consulate would have diff rules/requirements.

I did not get answer to my query from SFO consulate.
I'd appreciate your opinion if you've dealt this.
Thanks
