Reply to comment by HelenaBirkinBag in TIFU by texting my ex-wife by LaVieEnRoseLavelle

Wow. As a passport acceptance agent, I can tell you, the children are required every time. Children's passports aren't renewed. You need every thing, every time. Without the child there, how do we know it's the correct child? Children change appearances very quickly, that's why their passports are only good for 5 years. You could literally provide a photo of ANY child and claim it was the same one.

Well, I don’t know what to tell you. We didn’t have them with us for their renewals, and there were no issues.

Directly from the State Department website:

Children Under 16

All children under age 16 must apply for a passport in person with two parents or guardians using Form DS-11. You cannot renew your child's passport using Form DS-82. Passports for children under age 16 are only valid for 5 years.

Again, I don’t know what to tell you other than I remember two years ago accurately.
