Sworn Affidavit for Minor's Passport (India)

[TP2012]

My wife is currently in India and has been asked to obtain a Sworn affidavit (since im residing in the UK) for applying for a passport for our newborn.

Since I cannot go to the Consulate in person, Would they accept a notarized Affidavit and my passport copy sent to the Consulate for attestation by post?
Is there any other requirement?

Hi
I had the similar situation and a sworn in affid. is a must.
I haven't yet applied for the visa though? have you?
What visa have you applied to have your new born in UK ? In how much time will you get the new born's visa?
where in india are you located?
