Learn The Best Way To Acquire Kid Passports

Obtaining a child passports is somewhat more complicated than getting one for an adult

. There is additional proof and documentation required and extra care must be taken to get all the items in order and completed correctly before a passport application will be approved and passport issued.

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. Your infant must have a valid social security number and you cannot do the application online. You must arrive in person.

You must prove that the child is a citizen of the United States and that you are the parent. Documentation for these requirements is a certified birth certificate, previous passport, citizenship certificate or naturalization for the child. To prove parental rights you can offer a birth certificate with both parents' names, a court order establishing guardianship or custody or an adoption decree. A foreign birth certificate with both parents' names or a report of birth abroad with both parents' names is also acceptable.

Where possible, each parent must submit identification documents. These ID forms could include government or military ID, a passports or driver's license. With an infant application, it is important for both parents to be present to submit documentation and sign the application form.

The forms submitted by the parents have to follow a specific format and size. You can't send copies that are smaller than actual size. Copies have to be presented on 8/5" by 11" white paper. Two-sided documents must have copies of each side. Both parents must provide documentation and both must sign.

When you consent to the passport application, it is the easiest method for both signers to appear at the office. When there are custody problems, you will need to do the research about alternate approval methods. This should be done before the actual application process and appointment.

You must make provision for the proper fees and charges. Some passport offices won't accept personal checks, but will accept credit cards or money orders. Charges for additional services such as overnight delivery or expedited service may be required. Exact money order amounts are important if you have elected to pay by this method. The passport office may not accept cash in payment for passport fees either.
