If you have your own current identification document (ID), you may apply for a passport. You must show at least one legal parent or legal guardian is aware that you are applying for a passport.
Show Parental Consent. Both parents/guardians must authorize the issuance of the child's passport. The best way to do this is for both parents/guardians to go with the child in person to apply for the passport.
If you are the mother and there is no father listed on the birth certificate, you can obtain a passport. Also, if you don't know where the other parent is, and you have no method of contacting them, you can submit form DS 5525 with the passport application.
Answer: You must apply for a new passport for your daughter using form DS-11 and submitting all the required documentation. Passports issued to minors cannot be renewed by mail.
If you are not in touch with your child's other parent/guardian, or if you refuse to give consent your ex-partner can apply to the District Court for a court order, which will allow the Passport Office to issue the passport without that consent.
Someone with parental responsibility for the child must apply for the passport. You need to give both parents' details when you apply. If you cannot provide the other parent's details, you need to say why (for example, you're the only parent named on the birth certificate or you adopted the child on your own).
You must get the permission of everyone with parental responsibility for a child or from a court before taking the child abroad. Taking a child abroad without permission is child abduction.
You will need: two suitable passport pics of your baby. their full birth certificate, or adoption certificate (the one with their parents' details on) proof your child has British nationality, e.g. British registration certificate or parent's passport or birth certificates.
the child's full birth or adoption certificate (the one with parent's details on it) proof that your child has British nationality (for example a British registration certificate, parent's passport details or parent's birth certificates) any valid passports from a different country belonging to the child.
Your countersignatory must: have known you (or the adult who signed the form if the passport is for a child under 16) for at least 2 years. be able to identify you, for example they're a friend, neighbour or colleague (not just someone who knows you professionally)
For minor applicants, present address proof document in the name of parent(s) can be submitted. It is advised to carry original and self-attested copies of parents passport to Passport Seva Kendra (PSK), in case parents possess passport. For minor applicants, documents can be attested by parents.
It should take three weeks to get a passport for a baby under the standard service if you have completed the form properly and sent the correct documents. It's always worth allowing a couple of months before your date of travel in case of any delays though.
Though the government's website currently suggests the average time people are waiting, as of March 20 2022, is five or six weeks for an adult passport, or five weeks for a children's passport. Of course, you may find it takes longer than 10 weeks if there are unexpected delays. So, keep this in mind.
A birth certificate is required, for passport purposes, as evidence of a person's name, date and place of birth. A full birth certificate is normally required for applicants: Born outside the United Kingdom. Born in the United Kingdom after 31 December 1982.
Where both parents have Parental Responsibility, and there are no existing Court Orders in place in relation to the arrangements for the children, then neither parent is permitted to take a child abroad without the other parent's written consent.
Parental responsibility is the legal rights, responsibilities and authority a parent has for a child. Without a parental responsibility, a parent will not be able to take the child abroad and holiday and if they do then this will be classed as child abduction which is a criminal offence.
A child should always have their own passport which is usually kept by the parent with primary responsibility for that child's upbringing i.e. the resident parent.
Certify the child has your permission to travel. Name the individual your child travels with - their parent - and indicate their personal information. Enter the trip destination and state the dates of travel. Add your contact details so that you may be reached out if further confirmation of the consent is required.
I hereby authorise Mr/Mrs. _______________________________ my __________________________ (please mention relation and name) to submit my passport application and other documents/collect my new passport on my behalf.
