4. All available identification such as: birth certificate, driver's license, Identification card, or expired U.S. passport. If you have no current identification with you, you should bring along an American friend or relative with his or her passport to vouch for you and or photocopy of the missing passport.
5. Two(2) identical, recent photographs taken full face, with a white background, measuring 5 cm by 5 cm (2 in x 2 in). Please ask the photographer for photos for a U.S. passport, otherwise you may be given the wrong format. See photo requirements for more information.

Both parents must appear together with the child and sign the application form in the presence of a Consular Officer. In the case where only one parent is able to appear, he or she must submit a notarized Statement of Consent from the absent parent, if living, authorizing passport issuance for the child. 

Parents or legal guardians must present their passports, along with a legible photocopy of the child's birth certificate.

Please be advised that once a passport is reported lost or stolen it cannot be used for travel. If found, all passports previously thought lost or stolen must be brought in to the embassy for cancellation.

When traveling, please remember to carry a photocopy of your passport separately from your passport. In the event of loss or theft, the copy will facilitate issuance of an emergency passport.
