Most of the requirements are the same. However, children under the age of 16 are required to have both parents present in the office to sign their consent. If one of the parents is unable to appear, a consent affidavit must be completed. Please visit www.travel.state.gov for more information and forms.
Children ages 16-17, who have a photo ID, are required to have one parent sign the application giving consent for the passport or provide the child with a check. Also, all children, even infants, must appear in person with their application before it can be accepted.
