PassportsPassport Information |
The Passport & Citizenship Unit of the Consulate accepts passport applications, provides additional passport pages, and amends or extends passports as applicable. All passport applicants must apply in person. To obtain a U.S. passport you must either provide your most recently issued passport, an original certified copy of your birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a naturalization certificate. You must also have photo identification. A driver's license, social security card, or a voter registration card does not constitute proof of citizenship. Passport forms are available at http://www.travel.state.gov/passport/forms_overview.html Two U.S. recent passport-size (2"x2") photographs are required with all passport applications. Passports for Minors: Children must appear in person, accompanied by a parent. Evidence required for all applicants under age 14 includes: certified birth certificate; photo identification of both parents; a notarized statement in English of consent from the non-applying parent; and proof of the child's U.S. citizenship, such as a previous U.S. passport, a Naturalization Certificate, or a certified U.S. birth certificate or Consular Report of Birth Abroad and photo identification. Additional information, including the application form, is available on the Internet at http://www.travel.state.gov/passport/get_minors.html.
