If you are renewing a valid or recently expired passport, your passport will serve as proof of both identity and citizenship. Otherwise, to prove citizenship, you need to provide a certified copy of your birth certificate, certificate of naturalization, or other similar documents. Special Requirements for Minors Under Age 16To enhance the accurate identification of passport applicants and aid in the prevention of international child abduction and trafficking, the Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs now requires the personal appearance of all minors applying for U.S. passports. This applies to all tourist/business, official and diplomatic passports for children under the age of 16, even if the child has previously been issued a passport. Now, when applying for a passport for a minor under the age of 16, the child must be present and the parents are required to submit documentation of parental relationship and consent, as well as comply with all other documentation requirements for the issuance of a passport. For more information please click visit, Minors Under Age 16. Passport applicants age 16 and 17 please read: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-passport/16-17.html. Third Party Attendance at Passport and CRBA Appointment InterviewsGenerally, immediate family members may accompany passport or CRBA applicants to their appointment interviews at a U.S. embassy or consulate, and all minor children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Passport or CRBA applicants also have the option of being accompanied by an attorney at their appointment interview. Attendance by any third party, including an attorney, accompanying an applicant is subject to the following parameters designed to ensure an orderly appointment interview process and to maintain the integrity of the adjudication of the application(s):
Attendees may not engage in any conduct that violates this policy and/or otherwise materially disrupts the appointment interview. Failure to observe these parameters will result in a warning to the attendee and, if ignored, the attendee may be asked to leave the appointment interview and/or the premises, as appropriate. It would then be the applicant’s choice whether to continue the appointment interview without the attendee present, subject to the consular officer’s discretion to terminate the appointment interview. The safety and privacy of all applicants awaiting consular services, as well as of consular and embassy personnel, is of paramount consideration. |
