Common Questions
To get a U.S. passport for a child under 16, you must apply in person using Form DS-11.
- Both parents or legal guardians must appear with the child at a local passport acceptance facility.
- If one parent cannot attend, a notarized Form DS-3053 (Minor Consent Form) is required.
With Fastport Passport, we help you prepare your child’s DS-11 application, check all supporting documents, and provide step-by-step instructions so your application is processed smoothly.
Children of all ages, including newborns, need a valid U.S. passport to travel internationally. There is no minimum age requirement — every traveler, regardless of age, must have their own passport. Fastport Passport simplifies the process by helping parents complete the DS-11 form, prepare documents, and avoid delays so your little one’s passport is ready in time for travel.
Child passports are valid for 5 years, unlike adult passports which are valid for 10 years. This shorter validity period is due to children’s appearances changing as they grow. Fastport Passport helps families track expiration dates and start the renewal process early, ensuring your child’s passport is always valid for international travel.
A child’s passport cannot be renewed by mail — the process is the same as applying for a first-time passport. You’ll need to submit Form DS-11 in person with your child, along with both parents or legal guardians’ consent, the child’s existing passport, a new passport photo, proof of citizenship, and the required fees. Fastport Passport makes this process easier by reviewing your forms, checking your documents for accuracy, and giving you clear submission instructions.
To apply for your child’s passport, you’ll need:
- A completed DS-11 application form
- The child’s original birth certificate or proof of U.S. citizenship
- One passport photo of the child (special requirements apply for infant photos)
- A photocopy of both parents’ or guardians’ photo IDs
- A signed statement of parental consent (if required)
- Applicable passport fees
Fastport Passport ensures all forms and documents are correct before you apply, helping you avoid mistakes that could delay your child’s passport.
