Passports for children have special rules — including consent from both parents or guardians. UPV Services walks families through every requirement and expedites your child's passport so your family trip stays on schedule.
For children under 16, both parents or legal guardians generally must appear in person to consent. If one parent cannot appear, a notarized DS-3053 consent form is required. We'll tell you exactly which situation applies to your family and how to prepare.
You'll need the child's proof of U.S. citizenship (birth certificate), both parents' photo IDs, a compliant passport photo of the child, and the completed application. We review everything before submission so nothing is missed.
Forms open as PDFs. Not sure which you need? Call 202-457-4665 and we'll guide you.
In most cases, no. Many services can be completed online or by mail with our guidance. For certain first-time passports or embassy visa filings, an in-person acceptance appointment may be required — we'll tell you exactly what's needed.
