Renewal for Children Age 15 and Younger

All renewal applicants age 15 and younger must appear in person with their parents at the Embassy to renew their passports. The application must be signed before a U.S. consular officer. Please click here to make an appointment. 

Please submit the following information:

• Passport application must be filled out using the Passport Wizard. Once completed, please print the application form, but DO NOT sign. Applications filled out by hand will not be accepted.
• The child’s previous U.S. passport
• One passport photograph
  Sized 2" X 2" (or 5 cm X 5 cm) with a white background taken within the last 6 months
• Evidence of relationship between Child and Parent(s) such as:
  • Birth certificate with both parents’ names
  • Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) with both parents’ names
  • Adoption decree with adopting parents’ names
  • Court order establishing custody
  • Court order establishing guardianship
• Parental Consent
  U.S. regulations require the consent of both parents/legal guardians for the issuance of a U.S. passport to a minor child. If only one parent submits the application for a minor child, the absent parent is required to complete a notarized Parental Statement of Consent Form DS-3053 to express their consent for the issuance of the new passport. All sections of the parental consent form must be completely filled out including the notary office information and the type of ID used for the notary process. The parent submitting the application materials to the U.S. Embassy must bring the notarized consent form along with a copy of the absent parent’s ID used during the notary.
• Identification of parents/guardians
• Photos of your child’s development since the issuance of the most recent passport.
• Fee: $105
• Return delivery courier slip (available at the Embassy)

Note: To receive notification regarding the status of your passport, please provide an email address on the passport application.

Processing takes about two weeks upon receipt of a completed application. A return delivery courier slip filled out by you will be used to return your child’s passport. Please note that you will pay for this service in cash directly to the courier upon delivery.
