Lost Child US Passport Application
Process Overview (16 & 17)
Applicant must gather new passport documents listed below to take
to an Acceptance Agent.
An Acceptance Agent is a government employee who will verify
the identity of the applicant.
Acceptance agents are at designated Post Offices and Court
Houses.
Applicant must indicate that he/she is using a hand carry service
to process their new passport application. Acceptance Agent will
have the applicant sign the new passport application, seal documents
in an envelope and return the sealed envelope.
Applicant may be required to show consent of one parent or legal
guardian in order to process the application - this is required
if applicant does not have valid government issued photo identification
issued more than six months ago. It is recommended that applicants
16 and 17 years old appear with one parent or legal guardian who
is capable of proving relation to the child by way of government
issued photo identification.
Sealed envelope with new passport application is forwarded
to ItsEasy Passport for processing.

of Identification

license or state-issued identification issued more than six
months ago to apply for a new passport. Official government

1.3
Passport Photos
Applicant must submit two (2) identical
passport photographs for new passports. These may be obtained
at many Post Offices, Kinkos, Mailboxes Etc or similar locations.

issuance.

documents to our offices personally, passport photos can be
taken on-site.
1.4
Proof
of Travel
Applicant must submit two (2) copies
of a computer-generated itinerary from a travel agency or
online booking agency showing departure from the U.S.
One copy must be included in the sealed envelope and a second
copy included in the package to ItsEasy.
If traveling on business and no itinerary is available, a
letter on company letterhead indicating dates and purpose
of travel will suffice for new US passport applications. If
applicant does not possess proper itinerary, please contact
us for options.
1.5
Authorization
Letter
One of applicants parents or legal
guardians must submit an original "Letter of Authorization"
which allow ItsEasy Passport to submit the passport application
to the US State Dept. The link below will provide you with
two copies.
One will go in the sealed envelope, the second (watermarked
"EXTRA COPY") will be included in the package to
ItsEasy.
The US State Dept charges $170
for new passport expediting for children 16 and 17 years old
and $25 for verification of application by a passport Acceptance
Agent.
Both new passport fees must be paid to Acceptance Agent onsite.
The new passport fee of $170 may be paid by check, cash, money
order or debit card (credit cards are not accepted). If paying
by check, starter checks are not acceptable. Indicate the
applicants name and DOB in the memo line. For new passport
applications, an Acceptance Agent fee of $25 will apply. This
fee may be paid via any payment method.
1.7
Missing Passport
Explanation Form
As part of the replacement process, applicant
must explain the circumstances regarding the recent loss or
theft using government form DS-0064.
On the application, applicant will be asked questions regarding
the loss of previous passport. Answer the questions clearly
and concisely as if speaking directly to a US State Dept.
official. Questions regarding your previous passport number,
expiration date, etc may be left blank if information is not
available

new passport application form (DS-11). Application must be
filled out via US State Dept web site link below. This information

bar coded application required to expedite the new passport
request; hand filled passport applications are not acceptable
for expedited services. After filling out a new child passport
application online, print two (2) completed passport applications.
One copy must be included in the sealed envelope and a second
copy (which does not need to be signed) included in the package
to ItsEasy.

Passport Package Contents

POSTAGE.
