  • The child's old passport, valid or expired (If this is lost or missing, see lost passports).
  • Written consent of both legal guardians, on a separate authorization form (RPS 531.2) and signed prior to visiting the embassy/consulate.
  • If legal custody has been granted to one parent or to another person, legal proof of guardianship must be submitted with the application.
  • Passports (or other valid photo ID with a clearly visible signature) of both legal guardians, or a notarized copy of same.
