Summary
If your adult child is applying for a passport and the authorities are asking for the fathers consent, you can provide documents proving your sole custody and responsibility. Court orders, birth certificates, or other legal documents can serve as proof. Immigration rules can change, and the requirements may differ from when you initially filed for them. Consult legal aid organizations, pro-bono services, or law school clinics for assistance.Full Conversation
My child gain neutralization through me
Hello Terryon,
Here is some general legal information:
- A child who becomes a U.S. citizen through parents doesn't need consent from both parents to apply for a passport.
- If the State Department still insists, you may need to provide evidence of your sole authority.
It's best to consult with a legal expert in immigration law.
