Child's Passport

Urgent Travel Within 3 Weeks

15 years of age and under

To use our expedited hand-carry services, you'll need to visit a Passport Acceptance Agent to have your signature(s) witnessed and the documents sealed. Once sealed, simply return the packet to us.

* As an expeditor, we cannot witness signatures on applications.

​

  • For children 15 and under both parents and the minor must appear before the Agent to have signatures witnessed.

  • If one parent is not able to attend, that parent can fill out form DS-3053 (Parental Consent Form), have it notarized, and provide a copy of the front and back of their driver's license.

  • For children ages 16 and 17, one parent must be present. These applications will be processed as an adult passport.     

Please refer to NEW PASSPORT for fees.

  • We will discuss options for visiting an agent at your appointment.
