Do I have to apply for a passport myself?
A: Minors must be accompanied by guardians when they apply for passports.
If your child has not yet obtained a passport and intends to travel abroad, you must obtain a personal passport belonging to TA for your child. Many parents have doubts about this. Do children have to go to the entry-exit administration in person to apply for passports? If you need me, and you have to deal with it on weekdays, doesn't that mean your child needs special leave?
Yes, minors' passports must be handled in person. At present, Guangzhou citizens need to log on to the exit and entry website of Guangzhou Public Security Bureau in advance for online pre-acceptance. Generally, after logging in to the website, choose the passport type to be processed, then choose the nearest exit-entry administration, enter the child's personal name, date of birth and other information to confirm the appointment time, so that you can make an appointment in advance.
/kloc-Children under 0/4 can be exempted from the interview.
Anyone who goes to the United States for the first time must make an appointment for an interview in embassies and consulates in China, but children under 14 can enjoy preferential treatment when applying for an American visa, that is, they are exempted from the interview. Parents don't have to ask for leave for their children, but go to embassies and consulates in China for a face-to-face interview.
When applying for an American visa for a child, you need to bring the original household registration book, the original parent ID card and a complete application form. Children can be signed by their parents and fill out a passport authorization.
In addition, those under 18 must provide the original birth certificate. If the child's household registration book and parents are not on the same household registration book, it is also necessary to provide the household registration book to which the child belongs, but these documents may not need to be checked by the visa officer when signing face to face.
In addition, in order to reduce the refusal rate of children, some parents will also consider whether the school should issue a certificate with the official seal of the school and a letter of permission from the school. In fact, if parents carefully look at the visa requirements information form on the website of the China Embassy in the United States, they will find that these are unnecessary. Basically, as long as you can accurately fill in the child's information on the application form and ensure that the parents' information is true and complete, and as long as the parents can successfully obtain an American visa, the visa officer has no reason to refuse the child.
