​​​​​​Applicants Age 16 and 17

  • If your child is 16 or 17 years of age they may get a passport with only one parent present instead of two. All application materials remain the same as those for a new passport. 

Selecting your Gender Marker

  • The application will be updated in 2022 to reflect three gender marking options. Until then you are still able to change your gender on your new passport without submitting medical documentation.
