International Parental Child Abduction
Last Updated Jan 7, 2009 11:33 PM
The parent’s written request should include the following:
The child’s birth certificate showing his/her full name, date and place of birth and both parents’ data;
Evidence of the child’s U. S. Citizenship, e.g. birth certificate, passport, Consular Report of Birth Abroad (Form FS-240), Certification of Birth (Form DS-1350), Certificate of Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship;
Evidence of parent’s identity, e.g. passport, driver’s license etc.
The Department of State will then enter a notice in its computerized name-check system, notify the custodian parent, and deny issuance of passport should an application for the child be received anywhere in the United States or at any U.S. Embassies or Consulates abroad.
Please note that once a child’s name was entered into the passport name-check system, the name will remain in the system until the child turns eighteen years of age, or, a written request from the custodian parent to remove the child’s name from the system, whichever comes first.
