CHILDREN UNDER 16

Change in Passports for Children:

As of February 1, 2008, the two-parent consent requirement for all passport services was extended to include all children under age 16.  Either both parents must be present to provide signatures at the time of passport application, or in the event one parent cannot attend, he or she must send a notarized statement of consent and valid identification.  Alternately, the applying parent may present a death certificate or sole custody order for the child.
