We will help you get started in the right direction in obtaining a Passport for your Child. Don't be overwhelmed. We are here to assist you each step of the way.
First, you will need to gather all of the required information (listed below) and then take them to the nearest
Acceptance Agent to seal your documents and then send your package to us via FederalExpress.
You will need to complete
two government forms: the DS-11 form, and the
DS-3053 form,
which must be accompanied by a copy of the non-attending parents' driver's license (both front and back).
The LOA (Letter Of Authorization) form
authorizes us to process your passport paperwork.
To qualify, child must be 15 or younger. Then download and complete the Universal Passports & Visas Order Form with your payment
information and fax it to: (214) 739-3414.

Get LOA here. NOTE: BOTH Parents must sign this for the minor applicant. ALSO IMPORTANT: You must print and complete 2 copies of the LOA |

A copy of either your airline ticket(s) or flight itinerary will serve as the required proof regarding your departure date. |

This must be one of the following:
