One parent waits at the counter with a souvenir birth certificate and a school photo, and the application is refused.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I renew a child's passport by mail?
Usually no for children under 16. Plan on an in-person DS-11. Check the current State Department rule for your child's age.
Do both parents have to go?
Often yes, or you need the official consent. Read the current rule before you book one adult.
Is a birth certificate from the hospital enough?
Bring the certified copy the application asks for. A souvenir certificate is a common rejection.
Is this a packing list?
No. This child passport checklist is the application. Trip packing is separate.
