8) AUTHORIZATION
Call us at (310) 909-7526 to indicate that you're processing an Emergency Passport from the Internet.

Prior to authorization, verify that you have collected the following documents:

1. Application Form DS-11 (both pages, if downloaded)
2. Proof of Citizenship
3. Proof of Identity
4. Two Passport Photographs
5. Parental Application Permission Documentation (if necessary) And Authorization Letter
6. Travel Documentation
7. Government Fees


Both parents must appear in person at a court house or post office and present the original documents to an acceptance agent which is authorized to accept passport applications. If both parents are not available, please contact our office at (310) 909-7526. The acceptance agent is needed to witness the signing of your application for the passport.

Notify the agent you are using an expediting service to "hand carry" your application. Your child must go along to the post office or court house. If the child is 16 or older, only one parent is required. Most facilities are open M-F, 9am to 4pm.

The acceptance agent will take about 10 minutes to explain the following steps:

1. To verify your identity, the agent will request your proof of identity.
2. The agent will ask you to sign the DS-11.
3. To verify that you need an expedited passport, you will need to show them your child's travel documentation.
4. The agent will then seal the DS-11, photos, proof of citizenship, travel documents, authorization letter and the $120.00 check in an envelope marked "To be Opened by U.S. Passport Office Only".
5. Important: Make sure the agent returns the sealed envelope to you. If the agent does not feel at ease about releasing the envelope, suggest that he/she refer to page 31 of their Passport Agent's Manual, "Hand-carrying of Executed Applications".

DO NOT OPEN THIS SEALED ENVELOPE OR THE APPLICATION WILL BE INVALID.
