tassycatt Posted July 5, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Taking my 12 year old daughter cruising in January. When we go to apply I know I need to take dad, daughter, her birth cert. and our I.D. with us to the post office. Do I need anything else? Im asking because I know most places want 2 forms of I.D. Hubby and I both had to show our birth cert. and drivers licenses. Of course, she doesnt drive yet! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catrin Posted July 5, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 5, 2011 No, you should be fine. Bring a report card or school ID just in case. Catrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for us we had to go to a different area. We live in a very populated area and had to actually make an appt. Also, some might even have Saturday appts.

gusandgidgetsmom Posted July 5, 2011 #5 Share Posted July 5, 2011 start your passports on line--quicker and they will tell you what to bring. You can not finish it that way you take the completed app that you have printed out to the post office or passport office. Eliminates time at the P.O.

gobucks_43228 Posted July 5, 2011 #6 Share Posted July 5, 2011 We purchased a state id for our now 13 year old son.($8) I'm not trying to sway you in not getting your 12 year old a passport but once I was advised they had to get a new one at 16 we decided that the state id and birth certificate would be okay for 3 more years for cruising purposes.

Ehpride Posted July 5, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Actually' if a 13 year old gets a passport, it will just be good for 5 years. It doesn't have to be replaced at 16. At 16 they just become an adult in the process of getting a passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that has changed since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
