There are several special requirements to obtain a children’s passports. The steps in applying for a passport need to be followed exactly or a passport will not be issued. Briefly, the steps include preparing an application, providing documentation to prove citizenship and relationship, documentation to prove identification of parents, photographs, parental consent and appropriate fees.
It’s important to gather all the necessary forms and papers and go in person to the office of the agency. The location will vary, depending upon where you live. The application can be filled out, except for the signature(s). The document won’t be signed until the agent is ready to witness it.
