Passport - other parent's consent

[kelleigh229]

So, I have a nasty ex-husband. Back in May, I gave him the consent form to sign and get notarized for my son's passport because I couldn't get him to commit to coming to the post office to do the application with me. After a big drama-filled battle where he held it over my head, he ultimately gave the form to me. (Burned by cigarrette smoke in the corner, mind you). Then I had to beg him several times to get a copy of his driver's license, even though it's on the form.

 

I thought I was careful and sent it in a few weeks ago. Well, low and behold, I got a note today that my son's passport wasn't approved - his notary didn't dated the darned form, so I have to get a new one signed by him.

 

UGH...so frustrated I want to scream!

Looking on the bright side, you still have a couple of months to sort it out. Did you also get a notarized letter stating that you have his permission to take your son out of the country?

I hadn't done that yet, but since I have to make him get this consent signed now, I am bringing that letter with me today too. Two birds with one stone...

Good luck.

Good luck.

 

Thank you! Oddly, it went very well. Gave him the forms yesterday and he got them signed today. No fuss. I'm shocked, but thrilled!
