If you are a traveling parent, you probably did not take too long to apply for the baby's passport. We explain how to request or renew a baby's passport or child Luckily, there is already the possibility of making an appointment on the Internet or by phone, which makes the procedure much more comfortable.
Those who request the passport must make an appointment on the website citapreviadni.es or on the telephone 902.247.364 before presenting the day chosen at the vending office. Passport Issuance Centers are spread across the Spanish geography and their processing times and time vary significantly from one to another.
The DNI of the person requesting it (usually the father or mother) and who will accompany the baby or child to get the passport must be given: the physical presence of the person to whom it is going to be issued is essential. In addition, the legally established fee (25 euros for the ordinary passport) and the presentation of the following documents must be paid in the case of under 14 years:
If you are in possession of the DNI, the same documents as for those over this age (National Identity Document; a recent photograph of the applicant's face, card size, in color and with a clear, smooth and uniform background, taken from the front, and without glasses of dark crystals or any other garment that prevents the identification of the person; documents of the companions, the parents must prove the relationship).
But since children under 14 are not required to have a national identity document, in the event that the applicant does not have it, they must provide literal birth certification issued by the Civil Registry and the national identity document of the person exercising parental authority or guardianship, except in the case, in the latter case that it has been assumed by the ministry of law.
Being a foreigner, the person exercising parental authority must provide, in addition to the literal birth certificate of the minor, the identification number of foreigners or any other identification document issued by official authority.
If what we want is renew the passport (The child has a passport for whose obtaining he has already provided the registration certification to which reference has been made), he may choose to present the previous passport or this certification, and the family book.
In any case, a recent photograph of the applicant's face, passport-sized, in color and with a clear, smooth and uniform background, taken from the front, and without glasses of dark crystals or any other garment that prevents the identification of the person. The photograph will be returned to us after making the passport.
It is important to remember that the minor must always be accompanied by the person exercising parental authority or guardianship. This person must prove both his identity (with the Spanish DNI or with the resident card or passport foreigners), as the relationship of kinship or guardianship assignment with the presentation of the literal birth certificate, family Book, judicial or administrative decision that attributes said condition or any other public document that guarantees the quality of guardian or holder of parental rights.
For those under fourteen years without a DNI, a literal birth certificate is mandatory, in other cases they may choose to present any of the documents cited.
Validity of the passport of minors
For children under five years the validity of the passport will be limited to two years (hence my daughters have already passed through two different passports). A new passport may be requested, with the validity corresponding to the applicant's age bracket, when the previous one is within the last six months of validity.
Passports issued to children under fourteen years of age residing in Spain that lack a national identity document will have maximum validity until the minor reaches said age, without, in any case, the validity being greater than five years.
When passports are issued to minors or disabled persons, the validity indicated in the two previous sections may be limited at the motivated request of the persons or institutions assigned to their parental rights or guardianship.
We hope that these indications about how to request or renew the passport of babies and children be useful to you The passport of the little ones usually give it to us on the same day of the appointment, almost immediately. Do not forget to make them beautiful for the photo, and be patient if they do not smile!
