DS-3053

The DS-3053 form, also known as the "Statement of Consent: Issuance of a Passport to a Minor Under Age 16," is a document used by the U.S. Department of State for individuals who are applying for a passport for a minor under the age of 16. This form is required when both parents or legal guardians are not available to sign the passport application, and one parent or guardian is seeking to obtain a passport for the minor child.
