Some applicants may have questions about taking their service animal abroad. The Department
of State does not issue passports for animals. According to travel.state.gov, a traveler with a
service animal should contact the U.S. embassy or consulate of their destination country for
information on restrictions and cultural norms about service animals. They should find out
about any quarantine, vaccination, and documentation requirements.
If a mother or father under the age of 18 applies on behalf of his/her child, the minor parent
will need to submit one of the following:
Proof of emancipation
Proof of marriage
Proof of service in the U.S. Armed forces
If none of the above are available, the minor parent must submit:
Written statement of consent from his/her parent/guardian (the grandparent of the applicant) stating the minor parent may apply for a passport on behalf of the child
Evidence of relationship between the parent and grandparent (birth certificate)
If the name of the grandparent on this document does not match the name on the
birth certificate, please also submit evidence of a legal name change
