Declaration of sole custody

This packet is intended for mothers attempting to obtain a passport for a minor child born out of wedlock. These forms cannot be used if there is  a child custody order already in place.

Temporary custody or guardianship for non-parents

There are a number of options available depending on whether or not you have the consent of a child’s parents.
