Again, I remember the circumstances of my first pp at age 10 very clearly. My parents were divorced. My father lived in a foreign country. My mother and I went to the pp office with my birth certificate and the pp that had been issued when I was a baby, and on my mother’s pp. The pp official said that this wasn’t.enough documentation, because he couldn’t tell that the baby was me. We had to come back to the office with a neighbor, who signed an affidavit saying that I was me.
My father had nothing to do with any of this.
My kids have two US citizen parents. My ex refused to sign anything. I had to wait until each was 18 to get their own passport. No exceptions granted. I am in NJ. Not saying there are absolutes but I was given no options. couldn’t take my kids on vacation out of the country.
Couldn’t even buy a result. Very rare for NJ.
