Passports for Minors

Minors (and first time applicants) wishing to renew an expiring or expired passport, should submit passport application Form DS-11 and their current passport. Except as described below, the child and both parents must appear in person. Please bring the following items:

One studio-quality color photograph taken within the last six months measuring 2" x 2" (5cm x 5cm) with a white background. No other photo format can be accepted.

For children under age 16, both parents must be present with photo identification to sign the passport application in the presence of a consular officer. The child must also be present. If one parent is absent, he/she must send a copy of his/her passport and a statement indicating his/her agreement with the issuance of the passport (you may use Form DS-3053, Statement of Consent - Issuance of a Passport to a Minor Under Age 16, or draft your own statement of consent). This statement must be notarized. The consular officer reserves the right to require additional evidence if the consent is notarized by a non-U.S. notary public. Other exceptions to the rule requiring the signature of both parents may apply, which should be discussed with a consular officer.

For children under age 16, the parents must prove their parentage by showing a copy of the child's government-issued birth certificate. If the birth certificate lists the mother's maiden name, she should be able to prove her identity accordingly.

For children age 16 or older, the child signs for him/herself (in the presence of the consular officer), so the parents need not be present, and there is no need to present a copy of the child's birth certificate.

The child must prove his/her identity. If the child is easily identifiable by the consular officer by looking at the previous passport, no additional proof may be necessary. However, a child's appearance may change significantly over time, so the consular officer may ask for additional proof of identity. Please bring as much proof as possible. Examples of items that can be used to establish a child's identity are:

- Person of Indian Origin (PIO) or Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card (issued by the Government of India).

- A passport issued by another country.

- School ID card with photo.

- Police/immigration registration record with attached photo.

- Growing age photos (i.e., a series of family photographs from various ages since the child's last passport was issued--for example, if the child is now five years old and the passport was issued shortly after his/her birth, bring family photos showing the child at ages 1, 2, 3 and 4).

The fee for passports for children under 16 years of age is $85, which may be paid in cash dollars, cash rupees (based on the current exchange rate) or with a major U.S.-based credit card. The fee for applicants aged 16 or older who have never had a 10-year passport is $100. Minors under age 16 get a 5-year passport, while applicants age 16 or older get a 10-year passport.

Hi:

Check on India's web page passport information.

I believe its the same criteria as in North American. If you are a minor than the mother/father must apply depending on their age.

same process as that of an adult, easier actually
