  1. I don' t think you can


  2. Since your sister is a minor I don't believe you can legally go behind your parents backs to get her a passport

  3. Sorry.......but you can't.

  4. Never happen

    3. Present Evidence of Child's Relationship to Parents/Guardians (for minors under age 16)



    Note: Previous U.S. passports are not acceptable as proof of relationship to the applying parent(s)/guardian(s).

    You will need to submit one of the following:

    Certified U.S. birth certificate (with parents' names); or

    Certified Foreign Birth Certificate (with parents' names and translation, if necessary); or

    Report of Birth Abroad (Form FS-240) (with parents' names); or

    Certification of Birth Abroad ( Form DS-1350) (with parents' names); or

    Adoption Decree ( with adopting parents' names); or

    Court Order Establishing Custody; or

    Court Order Establishing Guardianship.

    NOTE: If the parent(s)'/guardian's name(s) is/are other than that on these documents, evidence of legal name change is required.



    4. Provide Parental Identification (for minors under age 16)



    Each parent or guardian must submit one of the following:

    Valid Drivers License

    Valid Official U.S. Military ID

    Valid U.S. Gov't ID

    Valid U.S. or Foreign Passport with recognizable photo

    Naturalization/Citizenship Certificate from USCIS with recognizable photo

    Alien Resident Card from USCIS

    NOTE: Your Social Security Card does NOT prove your identity .

    If none of these are available , you will need:

    Some signature documents, not acceptable alone as ID

    (ex: a combination of documents, such as your Social Security card, credit card, bank card, library card, etc.)

    AND

    A person who can vouch for you. He/she must

    Have known you for at least 2 years,

    Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident,

    Have valid ID, and

    Fill out a Form DS-71 in the presence of a passport agent.



    5. Present Parental Application Permission Documentation (for minors under age 16)



    1. Both parents must appear together and sign or

    2. One parent appears, signs, and submits second parent's notarized statement of consent authorizing passport issuance for the child (a notarized  Form DS-3053, Statement of Consent: Issuance of a Passport to a Minor Under Age 16, or a notarized written statement with the same information on a sheet of paper from the non-appearing parent) or

    3. One parents appears, signs, and submits primary evidence of sole authority to apply (such as one of the following):

    Child's certified U.S. or foreign birth certificate (with translation, if necessary) listing only applying parent; or

    Consular Report of Birth Abroad (Form FS-240) or Certification of Birth Abroad (Form DS-1350) listing only applying parent; or

    Court order granting sole custody to the applying parent (unless child's travel is restricted by that order); or

    Adoption decree (if applying parents is sole adopting parent); or

    Court order specifically permitting applying parent's or guardian's travel with the child; or

    Judicial declaration of incompetence of non-applying parent; or

    Death certificate of non-applying parent.

    If none of the above documentation is available, the applying parent/guardian should submit a Form DS-3053: Statement of Consent or Special Circumstances: Issuance of a Passport to a Minor Under Age 16..

    NOTE:

    A third-party in loco parentis applying on behalf of a minor under the age of 16 must submit a notarized written statement or affidavit from both parents or guardians authorizing a third-party to apply for a passport. When the statement or affidavit is from only one parent/guardian, the third-party must present evidence of sole custody of the authorizing parent/guardian.




  5. You can't. Both parents have to be there or one parent with a signed and notarized affidavit from the other is some cases.

    Anything else from top to bottom including leaving the country is a federal offense and the feds don't s***w around. Even if you managed it (which you won't) and your parents later said it was all a miss understanding you would still be up on federal charges. It is the FBIs ball of wax so they will in turn contact Interpol..... now you have issues with them. The state, county or post office may throw in a few charges as well depending on where you applied. It is a bigtime thing.

    So you either convince you parents or your sister waits until she is old enough to do it herself. I bet she will not be allowed a passport or doing and overseas travel for a very long time since this has been an issue already.  

  6. PARENTS WON'T LET HER??

    In that case, obtaining a passport for her, would be fraud, and taking her out of the country against her parents consent would be kidnapping.

    You are asking how to commit a felony.  

  7. you can't

    If you leave the country with her you will be arrest and spend many years in prison

    BAD IDEA

  8. You cannot do this, and if somehow you managed to slip her out of the country, that would be considered child abduction.

    Don't even think about it.


  9. You cannot get a passport without a parents consent. And forgery is out of the question.  

  10. you can't

  11. you can't. you could go to jail for that.
