USE OF THIS FORM
FORM INSTRUCTIONS
1. Please complete the questions on this form to the best of your knowledge. Generally, the more information you are able to provide, the
faster we may be able to process your minor child's U.S. passport application. For example, if you are unsure of an exact address, please provide the
city, state, or street name if you can recall them. Passport Services will consider all the information derived from the form in its entirety.
2. If you need more space to respond to a question, please write the rest of your response on a separate sheet of paper.
False statements made knowingly and willfully on passport applications, including affidavits or other supporting documents submitted
therewith, may be punishable by fine and/or imprisonment under U.S. law, including the provisions of 18 U.S.C. 1001, 18 U.S.C. 1542,
and/or 18 U.S.C. 1621.
Passport applications for minors under the age of 16 require both custodial parents/legal guardians' signatures unless a notarized, written
statement of consent from the non-applying custodial parent/legal guardian is provided.
If you have a current court order reflecting full/sole custody or granting permission to obtain a passport, it is likely you will not need to
fill out this form. Court orders must be submitted with the minor's passport application.
Use this form only if the notarized, written consent of a parent or legal guardian with custody of the minor applicant under 16 cannot be
obtained. Your statement in the form must explain the reason why you cannot obtain the notarized statement of consent. You must justify that
there are exigent or special family circumstances that make two parent/guardian consent unobtainable. Please note completion of this form does
not guarantee passport issuance.
Your request may qualify as a exigent circumstance if there is a time-sensitive emergency and the inability of the minor to obtain a passport would
jeopardize the minor's health or welfare and safety or welfare of the minor or would result in the minor being separated from the rest of his or her
traveling party.
Your request may qualify as a special family circumstance if the minor's family situation makes it exceptionally difficult or impossible for one or both
of the minor's custodial parents/legal guardians to provide the notarized, written consent.
