• When seeking a passport for a minor under age 16, in addition to the items noted above both parents must come with the child and their own passports or other government-issued identification with the bearer’s name, photo and signature.  If both parents cannot come, the absent parent must provide a notarized written authorization form (DS-3053 – Statement of Consent or Special Circumstances: Issuance of a Passport to a Minor Under Age 16) for the issuance of the passport and include the absent parent’s passport or a notarized copy of the absent parent’s passport/identification. 
  The parents must also establish parentage by presenting the child’s birth certificate listing both parents.  If the parents’ names on the birth certificate are not the same as on the parents’ passport  (e.g., the birth certificate lists only the mother’s maiden name and her passport lists her married name) that parent must provide evidence of the legal name change, e.g., the marriage certificate.
  Minors age 16 and 17 may apply in person with their own identification, but for security reasons, parental consent may be required.  If your child does not have identification of their own, a parent will be required to accompany the child and present identification.
  If the child’s appearance has changed since the last passport was issued, e.g., the child was an infant, the parents should also bring a series of photographs of the child from when the last passport was issued to the present.  This will help the consular official in verifying the child’s identity.
