When applying for a child’s 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 DS-3053 (In which case the child is only eligible for the one, two or three day service). 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. Also, a photocopy of front and back of the photo ID used to notarize the form is needed. The DS-3053 form must be an original even if the document is from a distant state or over seas.
