US passport for Infant
« on: September 04, 2017, 05:17:32 PM »
My wife had a baby less then a week ago. We will be going back to Israel in a few weeks iyh, so I am in a rush to get the baby a passport. Anyone know of any way to get a US passport for an infant before I receive the birth certificate?

Mazel tov! On your wife's  baby ;)

No way in the world to get a passport without a birth certificate

If you filled out the forums in the hospital (with baby's name) you should be getting it with a week or two

Can't vouch for someone else post, but how can the government issue a passport without anything.....

Think about it....

I actually myself had a problem getting a passport for my baby since I didn't fill out the baby name in the hospital, I got a BC with a name as "no name given" took me a while (tried with this  "boro park" offfice, and they couldn't help me) the get a new BC with his name.

I know somebody who flew to Israel with new baby for the bris. I'll have to ask him how he did it.

Thanx
I did some searching and found that you can apply for a passport with a birth affidavit, I am not sure if this is only if you are older and do not have a birth certificate or it will also work with a infant that just did not receive the BC yet.....

why can’t you go down to your local passport application center?

i will assume that you're in Brooklyn NY.

for my kid, i went to the "https://www.bklynlibrary.org/passport" with the pic and birth certificate, and it was as smooth as possible.

Took two-three weeks from going down to apply (Ocean County Mall) to getting it in the mail for my two kids in early June of this year.
