Children under age 16 cannot apply for a passport by themselves. Both parents/guardians must authorize the issuance of the child's passport. The best way to do this is for both parents/guardians to go with the child in person to apply for the passport.
#10 ?*** Names of parents of applicant ? first & middle and then last name (mother's name must be her maiden name), date of birth of parents and place of birth. Also indicate male/female and whether or not they are citizens of the U.S. This information is required even if the parents are deceased.
If one parent is not available, the non-applying parent must complete the form DS-3053 . This form must be notarized, and the identification that was presented to the notary must be copied, back and front, and included with the form. We require the original of the DS-3053 to adjudicate the passport application.
Do I have to fill out the "Mother/Father/Parent" sections if my parents are deceased? Or is this section only for minors? Yes, you still need to fill out those sections. These sections are not for minors only.
If you have other proof of citizenship, e.g., US birth certificate, shouldn't be any problem. Contact other relatives who might know, and if you still can't find the info, simply state ?unknown.? Remember, some people don't even know who their parents are.
