To apply for the first U.S. passport for children under 16, both parents, in person, must confirm their consent for issuing a passport to their child. Both parents with their child should come to the Consular Section to apply for their minor child’s passport.  If only one parent can come, then he/she will need to present a notarized DS-3053 form and the ID or passport copy of the absent parent. Submit a photocopy of the front and back side of the ID that the absent parent presented to the notary public with Form DS-3053.  Applicants age 16 – 18 must show that at least one parent is aware that you are applying for a passport, therefore at least one parent must appear with you in person when you apply for your passport.
