Answer 1

14 to 17 years of age:

Your child must appear in person.

Present Proof of Identity

You may prove your identity with any one of these, if you are recognizable:

Previous U.S. passport (mutilated, altered, or damaged passports are not acceptable as proof of identity.)

Naturalization Certificate

Current, valid

Driver's license

Government ID: city, state or federal

Military ID: military and dependents

Your parental consent may be requested ,

proof of US citizenship:

Present Proof of U.S. Citizenship

All documentation submitted as evidence of U.S. Citizenship will be returned with the issued passport.  See  Processing Times .  You may prove U.S. Citizenship with any one of the following:

Previous U.S. Passport (mutilated, altered, or damaged passports are not acceptable as evidence of U.S. citizenship.)

Certified birth certificate issued by the city, county or state

NOTE: A certified birth certificate has a registrar's raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal, registrar’s signature, and the date the certificate was filed with the registrar's office, which must be within 1 year of your birth.  Please note that some short (abstract) versions of birth certificates may not be acceptable for passport purposes.

Consular Report of Birth Abroad or Certification of Birth

Naturalization Certificate

Certificate of Citizenship

A Delayed Birth Certificate filed more than one year after your birth may be acceptable if it:

Listed the documentation used to create it and

Signed by the attending physician or midwife, or, lists an affidavit signed by the parents, or shows early public records.

If you do NOT have a previous U.S. passport or a certified birth certificate, you will need:

Letter of No Record

Issued by the State with your name, date of birth, which years were searched for a birth record and that there is no birth certificate on file for you.

Answer 2

My personal advise is to apply as early as possible. Passports these days can take several months. (This spring, my husband was traveling out of the country for the first time and applied for his passport early, but because almost everyone needs a passport now, he didn't get his until a few days before leaving -- and that was only because we called and asked our congresswoman for help!)

from the U.S. Passport Web site ...

For All Minors Ages 14 to 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.

    * Follow instructions below. ...

Answer 3

Nope, if your an American citizen. Money and ID that's all you need buddy.

Answer 4

YES you do. You need both of their Naturalization Certificate or Certificate of Citizenship. You also need to bring your Birth Certificate.

If you were born here in the United States, all you need to show is your own Birth Certificate & your photo ID (school ID is o.k.) you won't need anything from your parents, except the money it cost to pay for the Passport.
