This document provides instructions for obtaining a passport for a minor under age 16. It outlines the process for obtaining consent from the non-applying parent or guardian, or documenting special circumstances if their consent cannot be obtained. The non-applying parent must provide a notarized written statement of consent. If consent is not provided, the applying parent must submit a statement describing the special circumstances preventing consent. False statements are punishable by law.
