BOTH PARENTS MUST CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF A PASSPORT TO A MINOR CHILD

In most cases, both parents will appear to sign the passport application form in the presence of a Consular Officer.  In the event one parent cannot appear, a Notarized Statement of Consent (click to download FORM DS-3053)  prepared by the non-appearing parent must be submitted with the passport application.  A Danish notary service is acceptable.

One-parent signatures are acceptable when submitting the following primary evidence of sole authority:

  • The Child’s certified U.S. or foreign birth certificate listing only the applying parent; or
  • Consular Report of Birth Abroad (Form FS-240) listing only the applying parent; or
  • Court order granting sole custody to applying parent (unless child’s travel is restricted by order); or
  • Adoption decree (if applying parents is sole adoptive parent); or
  • Court order specifically permitting applying parent’s or guardian’s travel with the child; or
  • Judicial declaration of incompetence of non-applying parent; or
  • Death certificate of non-applying parent.  A third-party in loco parentis may not apply on behalf of a child under 16 except in exigent circumstances.
