U.S Passport Name-Check System
Separate from the two-parent signature requirement for U.S passport issuance, parents may also request that their children's names be entered in the U.S passport name-check system.
The Children's Passport Issuance Alert Program (CPIAP) provides:
- Notification to parents of passport applications made on behalf of their minor children, and
- Denial of passport issuance if appropriate court orders are on file with the CPIAP.
