USE OF THIS FORM

This form is used when one or both legal parents and/or legal guardians cannot apply in person with the child for that
child's
passport. The legal parent/legal guardian who cannot apply with the child can give consent using this form or a
written statement that includes all of the information on this form. This form or the written statement must be
notarized. If the required consent is not
submitted, the child may not be eligible for a U.S. passport.
 For children under the age of 16: Both legal parents/legal guardians must apply for the passport with the
child or the legal parent/legal guardian that cannot apply with the child must complete and notarize this
form to be submitted with the application.
 For children 16 or 17 years old: The Department may request the consent of one legal parent/legal guardian
to the issuance of a passport to an applicant who is 16 or 17 years of age. In many cases, the passport
authorizing officer may be able to ascertain parental awareness of the application by virtue of the parent’s
presence when the minor submits the application or a signed note from the parent or proof the parent is
paying the application fees. However, the passport authorizing officer retains discretion to request the legal
parent’s/legal guardian’s notarized statement of consent to issuance (e.g., on Form
DS-3053).

 Statements of consent expire 90 days after the date of notarization.
