Notarize Passport Form DS-3053 Online

When a child under 16 applies for a passport and one parent cannot appear at the application appointment, the absent parent signs Form DS-3053, Statement of Consent, and that form must be notarized. A Florida commissioned notary can notarize your DS-3053 in a live video session, wherever you are.

What Form DS-3053 is

Both parents or guardians must consent when a child under 16 applies for a U.S. passport. If one parent cannot be at the appointment in person, that parent completes DS-3053 to give consent in writing. The State Department requires the form to be signed in front of a notary and submitted with a photocopy of the front and back of the ID shown to the notary.

How the online session works

1. Book a session and upload your completed, unsigned DS-3053.

2. Join the video call at your appointment time. The notary verifies your photo ID on camera.

3. Sign electronically while the notary watches, and the notary completes the notarization.

4. Download the notarized form, attach copies of the front and back of your ID, and give the packet to the applying parent.

Most DS-3053 sessions take about fifteen minutes. Appointments run Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM Eastern.

Timing matters

A notarized DS-3053 is valid for 90 days. Book your session once the passport appointment is on the calendar, so the form is fresh when the application goes in.

FAQ

Will the passport agency accept an online notarization? DS-3053 forms notarized online are submitted with passport applications routinely. Print the completed notarized form and include the required ID copies with the application packet.

How long is the notarized form valid? 90 days from the date of notarization. If the application is delayed past that, the form needs to be redone.

Can I sign from outside the United States? Florida law permits online notarization for signers located outside the U.S., which is often the reason a parent needs DS-3053 in the first place. The identity check generally requires U.S.-issued identification, so contact us before booking if you are unsure your ID qualifies.
