do babies need passports?

Answer 1

Every U.S. citizen — including infants — needs a valid passport in his or her own name to travel overseas

Answer 2

Depends on the country. In 2008 a baby might need one for Canada. But for right now a birth certificate works (if with parent). The U.S. Department of State has specifics for each country. Very useful.

And you only need a passport if you are travelling aborad.

Answer 3

For a cruise NO. A baby does not need a passport to go on a cruise. The only need a birth certificate. They will need one in 2009 but not now.

Answer 4

Yes, I just got my daughter one at 10 months old. You either have both parents at the post office or the passport facility or you need to have one parent with a notarized letter from the other parent. As parents we are going to need the passport more than the birth cerificate.

Answer 5

Yes. All persons, including newborn infants, are required to obtain passports in their own names. For children under age 14, the consent of both parents/guardians is required.
