One item of primary identification and a photocopy of both sides of the item are necessary. Acceptable identification items are a valid drivers license, a current military or government id or a naturalization certificate.
Parents or guardians need to accompany those sixteen and under who are applying for a passport. In addition to the standard items, they also need to present evidence of a relationship to the adults with them such as a birth certificate, adoption decree or court order establishing guardianship or custody.
When accompanying minors, parents and guardians must also present a primary identification document and a photocopy to establish their own identities.
