New Passports for Children Under 18 - Super Rush Service

(Those eighteen and older, must apply for an adult passport)

It is easy to get your new passport with our super rush service. You'll need to gather some documents, take them to an acceptance agent (usually a nearby post office, see below for more) to be witnessed and sealed and then send the package to us. In some states, the Clerk of the Court performs this service. If you have any questions please call us. Note that if you require super rush service, you MUST call us by 2:00 Eastern Time to reserve your spot.

Children 14-17 must apply in person with a parent to co-sign the application and the appropriate authorization. Children under 14 must have both parents authorize their application unless one has sole custody. In that case proof of custody must be provided.

   Gather the following application documents:

1. A certified birth certificate (with raised seal), naturalization certificate, or earlier U.S. passport;
2. 2 professionally-taken recent passport photos - do not use kiosk or your own photos;
3. 2 copies of proof of travel - travel agent itinerary with child's name or copy of tickets;
4. 2 copies of the authorization form (click to print).
5. 2 copies of passport application form DS-11 to be filled out online. Click here for the DS-11 and follow instructions carefully. Do NOT sign this form yet.
6. If the child is under 14 years and either of the parents cannot be be present then fill out Form DS-3053 online. The form must be notarized. Click here for the DS-3053 and follow instructions carefully.
7. Your (i.e. both parents if applicable) drivers license or other current government photo ID.
8. One copy of our Traveler Information and Payment Form (click to download).

1. One copy of the DS-11 application form (generated online in step 1-E above);
2. Form DS-3053 from step 1-F above if either parent cannot be present;
3. One set of the authorization forms, signed by both parents if applicable;
4. One copy of your itinerary;
5. Your child's certified birth certificate (or naturalization certificate);
6. U.S. Passport Services Fee of $120 ($135 for children 16 and 17) made payable to the US Department of State. You MUST put the child's date of birth on the check. (The agent will charge a $30 fee.)
7. If you are submitting multiple applications note that EACH applicant's application and supporting material must be sealed separately. You cannot submit multiple applications in a single sealed envelope; use separate envelopes for each applicant. Please advise your acceptance agent to seal each application separately!

Then place this sealed envelope in a shipping carrier's envelope (i.e. FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc.) together with:

1. A copy of the DS-11 application form;
