Can I look up my 16-year old daughter's passport usage history (within the last two months)?

Question

I think that she went to Europe without my permission...can I track her passport information?

Answer 1

shame on you! Yes, you may contact your local Immigration office/ or county office- homeland sec. has ALL records on file.

Answer 2

I would say yes you can.  Also it should show in her passport where she has been, since it does get stamped when ever it is used to enter a country.

BTW:  I'm sorry I didn't know that she didn't live with you.  I would think that you should be able to contact the INS office as they may be able to direct you to some one who will be better able to help you with this.  Explain to them your concerns with this as it may compel them to be better able to help you.

Another thing that you may want to do is contact a lawyer and see if the can force your ex husband to provide you with this information.  This is far to important of an issue to let go.  You have every right to know that your daughter is being protected.  So that she is not traveling around the country by her self, where she could get into trouble.  That make my hair stand on end just to think about it.

I can certainly understand your concern with this, I would be worried as well if it were my daughter.  God bless you, I hope that every thing turns out alright.

Best of luck to you!

Answer 3

Yes, You can look up her  passport usage history in Bureau of Immigration. Bring a photo copy of her passport or her original passport if you can or you may call them..I'm not sure if they give you information through phone.

P.S Do not listen with crappy people around this forum..they don't help but they disappointing others. They should go somewhere.

Answer 4

No, you can't really do that. Even if the DHS Customs and Border Protection kept records on entries and exits that could be accessed, and they don't on American citizens, it wouldn't tell you much other than to tell you when she left and when she arrived, not where she went. US immigration doesn't keep records on where Americans and other people go after leaving the US. They don't have any way to do that. If she were missing the State Department could be useful in finding out where she is, but she's back in the US, so there isn't anything they can tell you.  The airlines would have the info on where she went, but they aren't allowed to give you that info either. US citizens have a right to privacy under the law, so you aren't entitled to the information unless there's some sort of existing emergency, which doesn't exist here. Even then, it could take a long time to track her if you have no idea where in the world to look. If you have no access to her passport, you'll have to convince her to tell you.

Answer 5

Yes, you may contact your local Immigration office/ or county office- homeland sec. has ALL records on file.

Answer 6

She is still a minor and you still have rights.

Don't let other people compare their parenting skills to yours. Conflicts in life happen.

p.s. You can go to about.com forums for more concise information.

even though it's not 100% related to your subject, go to the politics forum where the top people write. Many are experienced with the law.

Answer 7

I don't this it is possible for you. Its purely classified info. that is never shared.

But if your daughter is required to carry passport and immigration office in European countries puts some type of stamp on it, then you might know it.

Answer 8

Usually she will get the passport stamped both in out of the US and in/out of Europe. And/or there would be a piece of paper attached to  one of the pages in the passport.

But what makes me curious, is how she got she means of being able in that age to go to Europe - and why?

Answer 9

You're her mom. just ask her to look at it. and if she says no then ground her for disobeying you. if she askes "why" say its none of her concern. or just straight up ask her is she went to europe and if she says no then ask her if she can see your passport then.

Answer 10

Excuse me, but she's only sixteen years old.  Shouldn't a mother still keep the passport?

Call me outdated, at least in that regard, but I have my daughters passport.  My child is almost 16 and she just came back from England with a study group.  When she came back, and without asking she game me the passport and even the Visa card I gave her.

I have a relation with my daughter, so similar to the Gilmore girls.  I look like her older sis.  Nobody believe my age when I say it.  I did have her when I was young.  However, we have a wonderful relation.   I have always talked to her  about everything and gave her advise like "mother friend".  She has lots of friends and they think I'm cool.  I keep a blog were some of them leave me messages to thank me for advices I give them for life.

I realize that there will be a time when she will walk or try to walk on the wild side...but I'll be there to walk her through all the way.  Being there done that!

One think I notice about parents is that when their kid becomes a teen..the start positioning themselves aside..just like a side dish with no value...it's a mistake.  Those are the years when they need you the most.

I have this girl that keeps asking her mom to spend some time with her, though the mom is always busy working for them.  I have talked to my friend, but she keeps saying that she has many responsabilities.  Well, the girls has started drinking lots.  Even though is not my kid, I intervene, because I saw this kid grow side by side with mine.  Since, I'm already inside their chat world it was easy for me to reach out.  Two days ago I got a thank you message from her, saying that she considers me a second mom..I felt so good.

Try to get involve in your kid's life...not just like a mom.  It's so simple..I even go to the spa with mine.

Get a hold on that passport and set some rules about it.  Do not approach her like a mother.

P.S.   Here in Europe kids need consent from their parent when flying.  The thing is if she was already in the EU community to cross from one country to the other is not a problem.  Passport is not required

So, your ex-husband lives in Europe? then she has no problem going around???

I'm sorry Michelle if you felt like we're all judging you.  I'm pretty sure is not the intention of any us.  Yahoo Answers serve as a medium to confide and find not only answers to our questions but support from others.  None of us are perfect or live perfect lives, but by living and experiencing we may be able to give a hand to others.

Posting questions opens the door to confrontation and discussions...that at least for me could be healthy ones.

I'm pretty sure none of the guys meant it that way...Good luck.

Answer 11

No, you are not legally allowed to access your daughter's travel records.  If you are not able to discuss your daughter's travels with her, and you are unable to look at her passport, you would have to make an inquiry through official channels based on your suspicion that a custodial violation has taken place (if that is the case,  or if you wish to modify the custody agreement).  Otherwise, bear in mind that since your daughter is now in the States, the fact that she might have previously traveled without your permission is of little consequence other than to illustrate the decisions being made by your ex-husband.

Answer 12

whats wrong with going to europe?  if she can be absent fr home for some days, then she is independent,  u have relinquish control over her.  

sneak into her room when she is not in and check the passport

ask her directly in a motherly loving manner

communicate with her more often, hug her kiss her, develop a relationship that she will think of you as a good friend and not a doting mum

law enforcement authority dont give out such info, i'm sure abt this
