Form DS-3053

Form DS-3053 is a U.S. government form that is used to request a passport for a child under the age of 16. The form must be completed and signed by both parents, and it must be notarized by a licensed notary public. In addition to the basic information required on all passport forms, the DS-3053 also asks for the child's Social Security number and date of birth. While the form may seem daunting at first glance, it is actually quite straightforward. With a little preparation, you can easily complete the form and get your child's passport application underway.
