how do i get my child's passport made without her father's knowledge?

Question

The problem is that my husband and i have separated but i am yet to file for divorce. I will be filing for divorce in about 1 month. In the meanwhile i need to get my daughter's passport made urgently. Also though we married in 2005 we never got the marraige registered so we have no marraige certificate i only have the child's birthcertificate. he would never agree to get my child's passport made since he needs her custody. What should i do to get a legal passport made without my husband's knowledge?

Answer 1

You can get your child’s passport made even without your husbands consent. In such a case you should have a valid passport, the birth certificate of the child & you have to give affidavit as provided under annexure 'G' DECLARATION OF APPLICANT PARENT OR GUARDIAN IF PASSPORT IS FOR MINOR (one parent not given consent): IN THE FORM OF A SWORN AFFIDAVIT BEFORE JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE ON NON-JUDICIAL STAMP PAPER
All these along with the passport fee applicable.

Answer 2

You do not need you husband's permission or participation to get your daughter a passport. You need a certified copy of her birth certificate( get from the county of her birth ), which you can also do on your own. In the States go to the Post Office for the forms( for passport processing ). You can get her photos at a Walgreens for less, plus you can make up something for your daughter, maybe tell her you want a special picture of her ( don't mention the word "Passport" and it can't be repeated) The longest thing is the wait for passports, about 4 - 5 months now, to get it processed.

Declaration by parents is necessary. Contact Passport Office / Best Consultant for futher details

Answer 4

So you can whisk her away to a foreign country? Kidnapping? Just curious. Otherwise, just go apply for the damn thing.
