We&#8217;ve provided you with a checklist of everything you need to know about your child&#8217;s passport application. From the application form to parental consent, we want your child&#8217;s application to be successful! So, let\u2019s make sure you&#8217;ve got everything you need!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Application Form DS-11<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the standard application form for a U.S. passport. The <a href=\"https:\/\/eforms.state.gov\/Forms\/ds11_pdf.PDF\">DS-11<\/a> Form is used for both new passport applications and minors. It&#8217;s important to fill it out completely and accurately to avoid delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are filling out the application by hand, ONLY use black ink; otherwise, it will not be accepted. To avoid this, you can use the State Department Form Filler instead and print out your application afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is considered a minor?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Department of State, applicants must be 16 or younger to be considered a minor. If your child is older than 16, they must apply for a New passport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Evidence of U.S. Citizenship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This could be a certified birth certificate, previous U.S. passport, Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or Certificate of Citizenship. This proves that the child is a U.S. citizen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if the child was born abroad?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If both parents of a child are U.S. citizens and the child is born abroad, they may be eligible for U.S. citizenship and a passport. However, they may need to complete additional steps in addition to providing the required documents, such as a Consular Report of Birth Abroad or Naturalization Certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Parental Identification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both parents (or legal guardians) need to present their identification. This could be a valid U.S. passport, driver&#8217;s license, or government-issued ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if the child&#8217;s name has changed or differs from the parent&#8217;s name on the birth certificate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a child&#8217;s name on the birth certificate is different from the parent&#8217;s name, you may need extra documents, such as a court order or adoption decree, to prove their relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Parental Consent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both parents or legal guardians must provide consent for the child to get a passport. Ideally, both parents should appear in person with the child to provide consent and identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if one parent can&#8217;t come?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If one parent can&#8217;t come to the passport office with the child, they can fill out Form DS-3053 or provide a written statement agreeing to the passport. They need to get this statement notarized and include a copy of their ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Passport Photo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll need one recent color photo of the child. It must meet the State Department&#8217;s requirements for passport photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I take the passport photo myself?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting your passport photo taken professionally is a good idea because it will most likely meet the State Department&#8217;s standards. We recommend our blog post, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepassportoffice.com\/blog\/passport-photo-rules\/\">Passport Photo Rules: Tips and Tricks<\/a>, to review passport photo requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Application Fee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This includes both the application fee and the execution fee. You can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/passports\/how-apply\/fees\/fee-calculator.html\">Fee calculator<\/a> to figure out your total costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, there is an extra fee to expedite your child&#8217;s passport. You can apply through the State Department to get your passport about two weeks earlier. If you need your passport quickly, consider using our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepassportoffice.com\/application.php?svc=Child%20Passport\">child passport expediting services<\/a> at The Passport Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Social Security Number<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The child&#8217;s Social Security Number is required for passport application purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if the child has never had a Social Security Number?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the child does not have a Social Security Number, they must submit a statement from the Social Security Administration stating that the child has never been issued a Social Security Number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many passport acceptance facilities require appointments for passport applications. Check with your local facility and schedule an appointment if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Need help finding a passport acceptance facility near you? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepassportoffice.com\/blog\/passport-acceptance-facility-how-to-find-near-me\/\">Read here for assistance<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Special Circumstances Documentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional documentation may be required if there are special circumstances, such as a sole custody situation, adoption, or name change. Check the State Department&#8217;s website for details specific to your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Thoughts on Passport Applications for Minors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By following the steps outlined above, you can be confident that you have everything you need to submit your child&#8217;s passport application successfully. Remember to take your time and double-check the requirements to avoid any delays!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019d like to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepassportoffice.com\/application.php?svc=Child%20Passport\">expedite your child\u2019s passport<\/a>, consider using our Services at The Passport Office.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you need a passport for your child?
