Your Child’s Passport in Houston: What Parents Need to Know

Getting a child passport in Houston isn’t complicated when you know the rules. Children under 16 must apply in person with both parents present, and their passports are valid for only five years. That shorter validity often surprises families at the airport.

Parents will need to bring proof of the child’s U.S. citizenship (like a birth certificate), proof of parental relationship, photo IDs, and completed Form DS-11. Don’t forget the passport photo—Texas Tower can take care of that in our office to ensure it meets federal size and lighting standards. Both parents must sign the application before submission, or one must provide notarized consent if the other can’t appear.

Our experienced Houston staff reviews everything so your application won’t be delayed for a missing signature or outdated form. We handle renewals, first-time passports, and urgent departures. Save time, avoid stress, and make sure your family’s ready for takeoff—call 713-874-1420 and let Texas Tower help you get your child’s passport fast.
