Applying with a minor

[timjolin]

Hi,

I'm wrapping up my citizenship quest and am about to send off my application (mail in at the San Fran consulate). I've looked for details about applying with a minor child and haven't found much. My question is whether or not I must fill out a separate application for my minor child or just include her info on my application along with birth cert.

Thanks.

There is a section for minor children on your application. Complete it and attach BC, apostille and translation and you're good to go. Good luck.

Thanks JJ313.

That's what I did as well for my kids. It details it in the instructions from the consulate website. JJ313 is spot on on what you need.

I will be applying for my 4-year-old when I apply in Chicago next year. Does anyone know if the child has to attend the appointment in person? Or, can I just bring in all the necessary paperwork with me?

The minor child does not need to be present.
