Super helpful! Sharing my timeline in case anyone was interested: Submitted the application for an infant's expedited passport at USPS on Friday, Sept 13. Received it in the mail Monday, Sept 16. Still awaiting the birth certificate to come back to me.
Money order is acceptable too. They’re turning around much faster than the listed time as of June 2024. Don’t have passport photos taken at Walgreens! It was $17 dollars and they didn’t even accept it because it was slightly blurry!
Very useful, successfully applied for passport for our 2 weeks old baby. Thanks a lot for the clear explanation and examples. The photo hack is just icing on the cake. For us they took the photocopy at the Post office, other than that exactly the same. Thanks again. :)
Thanks for the video! Would you recommend ordering a passport at 2-3 months or you would do it immediately after giving birth? We live in NYC and some agencies are headache!
My recommendation is the sooner the better because processing times change. The passport is valid for 5 years even if they look like a newborn in the photo😆
So how about the other parent that is not listed on the birth certificate of the child ? Does it still need to have the other parental consent?? Coz it's only my name as a mother in the birth certificate of my 5months old baby
Can I pay for expedite at the facility? My husband did this initial form and I don’t know if he’d choosen expedite, but I’d like to expedite it to be extra sure it’s gonna arrive in time.
You will need a certified copy which you should be able to obtain either online or through your local government office. Google your state name and birth certificate for specific instructions
Normally you would include a signed and notarized DS-3053 if the other parent cannot be there. If the mom is only on the Birth certificate then only the mom has to be there.
hello. do I have to put the father's name in filling up DS-11? The fathers name is not added in my son's birth certificate. Thank you for your time. Hope I'll hear from you.
It seems like you would follow the information on the birth certificate. So if no father on birth certificate, then no father on the form. Check out number 7 on this page: travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-passport/under-16.html
My wife updated her last name after our wedding. Her maiden name is on our daughter's birth certificate. Which name should we use for the passport application? Her driver's license has her married name. Will this cause any issues with verification? Thanks you
You should not have any issues if you bring your marriage certificate to the in-person appointment. Here is a quote from the travel.state.gov website: "You and your child may have different last names, as long as the document showing your relationship to your child lists your full name. If your name is different than the one on the document showing your relationship to your child, submit proof of your legal name change."
Thanks for this breakdown! It's crazy that we still need to send checks to a government agency for this. There are more secure ways to take our money. Efficiency is definitely not the strong suit of US gov agencies.
Hi. Do I have to order a seperate certified birth certificate for the baby or give the birth certificate that I already have and they will return it back?

Do I need to mail a photocopy of the marriage certificate or the certified copy?

Do you have to send in your physical passport/identification items with your child’s application, or just photocopies?
The physical items are to show the person at the in-person appointment and the photocopies are sent with the application
@@BudgetTravelKids thank you! 🙏🏾
Thank you :)
Happy it helped!
Does anyone know if the baby's passport must be signed by the parents or should we leave it in blank?
Thank you, did you ever get the passport back ? How long did it take you?
It took exactly 10 weeks for us to get the passport back!
Thank you.
I have birth certificate but not certified copy of it. What should I do? How should I order it or get it certified.. Please answer
You will need a certified copy which you should be able to obtain either online or through your local government office. Google your state name and birth certificate for specific instructions
do you need a color copy or black and white copy of the birth certificate and the parents license?
For the copy, black and white is fine!
Hello, which name to add in the applicant information? My name or baby name?
Baby name!
Im applying for a child but i dont live in the mailing adress. So should i put in care of my name or of the person who lives there
It says both parents should be there. What if on her birth certificate the only parent is I her mom no apparent information would that be an issue?

Will they return back the certified birth certificate?
Yes they returned the certified and kept the copy
It might take up to 8 weeks for the state department to send back the proof of citizenship documents.

Hello my kid passaport in birth place says reunion is that correct?
I’m not sure what you mean
@@BudgetTravelKids place of birth says reunion i think is wrong .
@@Mrstarboy331 I suggest contacting your passport agency and informing them of the issue
Social security for newborn how?
Usually, women apply for their's baby's SSCard when they are in a maternity hospital.
All zeros
If not you can also apply by visiting a SS office though some do it by mail using form SS-5.@@elencon
