What You’ll Need

Most child passport applications require:

Completed DS-11 Passport Application
Child’s certified U.S. birth certificate or other proof of citizenship
Passport photo
Government-issued identification for parent(s)
Proof of parental relationship
Parental consent

If one parent cannot attend the passport appointment, additional documentation such as Form DS-3053 may be required.

Both Parents Usually Must Participate

For most children under age 16, both parents or legal guardians must provide consent before a passport can be issued.

If one parent cannot appear at the passport acceptance appointment, there are approved alternatives depending on your situation.

Our specialists will explain exactly which documents are required before you submit your application.
