Parental Consent DS-3053
A passport parental consent, or statement of consent (Form DS-3053), is used in the event a minor (person under 16 years of age) is applying for a passport and only one of the parents/guardians can be present. Both parents/guardians must authorize the issuance of a minor’s passport and must provide the proper documentation of citizenship and guardianship.
If one of them isn’t able to appear for the application process, the non-applying guardian must grant permission by completing a statement of consent and submitting it with the child’s DS-11 Form. The non-applying parent/guardian must sign Form 3053 in front of a notary and present a piece of government-issued photo identification. This identification must be photocopied (front and back) and submitted along with the parental consent form.
