Question

Can I buy a Plane Ticket and get a Passport at 16? w/o my parents knowing?

Answer 1

Nope... legally your still a minor. All minor needs a guardian to buy plane ticket and to get a passport.

Answer 2

If you have a credit card you can definitely buy a Plane ticket. Getting a passport, very difficult.

Answer 3

According to the state department web site (link is listed below for you to read):

For All Minors Under Age 16:

Each minor child shall appear in person.

All applications for children under 16 require both parents' or legal guardians' consent.

For All Minors Ages 16 & 17:

Each minor child shall appear in person.

For security reasons, parental consent may be requested.

If your child does not have identification of his/her own, you need to accompany your child and present identification.

Answer 4

You can certainly book a plane ticket. All you have to do is have a credit or debit card and call the airline.

As far as a passport, its a little more complex. It may be hard to do that without them finding out, but legally you could still do it.
