S.L. 61.2 чл. 3Application forms.

(1) Every person of sixteen years of age or over applying for a passport shall complete in his or her own handwriting an application on a form known as Form A, obtainable from the

Passport Office.

(2) In the case of a child under sixteen years of age, a separate passport is required. A form known as Form A, obtainable from the passport officer, shall be completed by both parents or by the tutor or curator of the child, in their own handwriting.

(3) Children under eighteen (18) years of age shall not be granted passport facilities without the written consent of both their parents or, if both parents are dead, of their tutor or curator. If, while either of the parents is alive, any other person claims to be the tutor or curator of the child, he must produce to the passport officer a copy of the court order committing the child to his or her tutorship or custody: Provided that in the event that the written consent of either of the parents, if both parents are alive, cannot otherwise be obtained for any reason, the other parent shall file an application before the Civil Court (Family Section) requesting the Court to order, after considering the best interests of the child, that the passport of the minor is issued without the consent of the parent who has not consented. In its decree, the Court shall also indicate whether such decree shall be limited to that passport application, or if it also applies to other future passport applications concerning the same minor:

Provided further that no court order is required in cases where the competent court has already authorised the dispensation of the consent of any of the parents..

(4) If a person who desires to complete an application form is unable to write, the person completing the declaration as recommender of the applicant may complete the application form in his or her handwriting on behalf of the applicant.
