When applying for a childs passport, if both parents names are on the birth certificate, the child together with both parents must be present to execute the application. If for some reason one parent cannot be present, that parent can fill out a Parent Consent Form DS3053. It is vital the parents signatures match the signature on the identification they provide. The date that you signed is the same date the notary signed and dated it. The date must appear in U.S. style, month/day/year. If document is notarized in the same state as applicant then the DS3053 must be an original. If document is from a distant state or over seas, a scanned or faxed copy will be accepted.
If you will be coming into our office in person, do not go to the acceptance agent. Come and see us first together with the child. We will make sure all of your documents are in order. We will then send you to one of three acceptance agencies by our office
