Take note of the following.
A properly filled in consent form will ensure timely processing of your order! There are only 2 accepted methods of signing the consent form – either print and hand sign directly on the printed form (preferred) OR use the approved e-Sign process available on our website. Whether you hand sign or e-Sign no one other than the applicant should sign the consent form and the signature must be consistent with the official signature on the passport.

It is recommended to provide consent for any individual whose information could be contained in the requested records: your spouse, sponsor(s), co-signor, any family member including children 16 years of age or older. By providing consent from all individuals you will have access to more information in response to your request, otherwise, some of the information on file would qualify for exemption.
It is not mandatory but providing a copy of the passport biographical pages of all applicants will assist the government institution in processing your request; it can be submitted along with the consent form.
