Child Passport

Child Passport

Regardless of age, everyone traveling internationally must have a valid passport. Those under 16 years of age are considered a minor and will need to apply for a new passport, also called a child passport, or minor’s passport. A passport issued to a minor is not eligible for renewal and is only valid for 5 years. Children under 16 whose current passports have expired or are near the expiration date must apply in person as if for the first time.

Acquiring or renewing a child's passport can be tough. To make it through the process without a hitch, it is important to pay close attention to detail.

When applying for a minor’s passport, the minor and both parents or guardians must go to a local passport acceptance agent. There are additional procedures for extenuating circumstances in which both parents/guardians are not able to accompany the minor.
Complete Application Form DS-11
There are only 22 questions on 2 pages. Personal information that is requested includes the full name, date and place of birth, sex, phone number, travel plans and emergency contact
OFFLINE
After downloading and printing, you can fill in the application offline. Applicants should write legibly in black ink. If the agent has difficulty reading what you wrote, it can lead to errors in the new passport. The application should not be signed until an acceptance agent asks you to do so.
ONLINE
Print the form once you have completed it online.
Gather Supporting Documents
There are several documents that you must either present at the time you submit the application at a passport office or send with the form to the processing center. The list includes the following:
Child's proof of U.S. citizenship
Proof of identity of parents/guardians
Parents' or guardians' proof of relationship to child
Photocopy of identification documents
One passport photograph
Visit Application Acceptance Facility
Once you have Form DS-11 completed and all the documents gathered, stop by or mail your minor’s passport documents to our office.
Applications that are submitted at a passport office take up to six weeks to process unless you request expedited service in which case it could arrive in 2 or 3 weeks. Bounce Passport and Visa will get your child's passport as quickly as you need it, according to the service you pick.
