Family Forum / Parenting / Parenting / January 2006US passport for baby?
Can a baby be "added" to a parent's US passport? Thanks! > Can a baby be "added" to a parent's US passport? Thanks! I don't think they can be added. I think the baby gets his or her own passport. Best wishes, Ericka > Can a baby be "added" to a parent's US passport? Thanks! No. Each US citizen, including infants, needs his or her own passport. Because they change so much physically as they grow, in the US, children's passports are only good for 5 years (versus the standard 10 years for those over 18), btw.

Even that's a bit long (apart from the expense and hassle of more frequent renewals). Kit is now four and his passport photo is of him at about 8 weeks.

By the time he was 11 (the year it expired), he was a completely different person. At the same time, I was 35 when I got my passport and I look very different from my photo way back then (it will expire later this year). We're *all* aging, what can I say? :) Leah > http://www.llondel.org > So many gadgets, so little time > Can a baby be "added" to a parent's US passport? Thanks! No. Every US citizen needs his/her own passport for international travel, even a newborn baby. Parents haven't been allowed to add their children to their American passport for many years now. - Cindy Kandolf, mamma to Kenneth (11) and Robert (4) cindy@nethelp.no ****** Bærum, Norway Bilingual Families Web Page: http://www.nethelp.no/cindy/biling-fam.html >>Can a baby be "added" to a parent's US passport?

Thanks everyone! http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/minors/minors_834.html we'll be getting one as soon as possible after the birth. Oh, and if the child will have a different last name from either of hte parents, make sure you have appropriate documentation stating you are the legal parents. Normally, that should be included in the passport, just verify it's there. > Oh, and if the child will have a different last name from either of hte > parents, make sure you have appropriate documentation stating you are > the legal parents.

Thanks very much. > > Oh, and if the child will have a different last name from either of hte > > parents, make sure you have appropriate documentation stating you are > > the legal parents.

It shouldn't be a hassle, because the baby's passport should clearly state who th elegal guardians are. Just make sure to double check it does before walking off ;-) |
