What to bring
Papers to bring
- The passports of both parents, or another identity proof (photocopies; the originals to show)
- The child's birth certificate
- The child's passport, and the travel details: tickets, visa or invitation
- The passport or identity proof of the person the child travels with
- Recent passport-size photographs of the child, if the office asks
Where to go
Both parents sign before a Notary or Oath Commissioner (for travel abroad a Notary is usually preferred); it then goes with the minor's passport application to the Passport Seva Kendra, or with the child's travel papers for the airline, immigration or embassy.
Fee
The e-Stamp paper and the Oath Commissioner's or Notary's fee are paid at the counter; ask there for today's amounts.
Good to know
- Both parents usually sign together, in person. If one parent cannot sign, ask a lawyer: the passport office has other declarations for such cases.
- If there is a custody case or a court order about the child, this paper does not fit as it stands; ask a lawyer.
- For use abroad, the embassy may want the paper apostilled by the Ministry of External Affairs; ask which attestation it needs.
Papers and fees can change. Check with the office before you go. Guidance only, not yet reviewed by a lawyer.
