Yes, you sign and notarize the DS-2029 and DS-5507.

 

Your only involvement with the DS-11 is to provide the DS-3053 (I assume that's what you meant by the "ds 5053") since you will not be there.  You can if you want, of course, fill out the forms up until you reach the part you copied here on Page 1, where it clearly says "STOP".  You can then go to Page 2 and fill out the top of the page, until you reach the "PLEASE DO NOT WRITE..." section at the bottom of the page.  That's it -- no signature, no listing of your identifying documents, nothing.  As i said before, your requIred part is covered by the DS-3053.

You do not sign the DS-11; that is taken care of by the DS-3053 -- basically, on that form you are giving consent for the passport to be issued with only the other parent's signature.  (NOTE:  The DS-3053 applies only to the passport application; it has no bearing on the CRBA aplication).

 

You, as the US citizen, should ideally complete the DS-5507 and DS-2029 -- you know more about the details of your physical presence, etc.  If you do so, you should sign tbe DS-2029 and tbe DS-5507 in front of a US notary and submit the notarized forms along with a phoyocopy of the identity document you used at the notary.   (NOTE:  If you are the father and your child was born out of wedlock, you must complete Section B on page 3 and have it notarized).

 

If you are filling out both of these forms, you only need to put the information about the other parent on the DS-5507, as long as you check the indicated box on the DS-2029.

 

@Desmoore1 please read the two posts by @jan22 as complete your forms and documentation. Just a regular Notary in the US is ok

@Family, thank you very much for your quick response. We are just worried that the application will be rejected or delayed because it's specifically stated on the DS5507 that the form can only be signed "in front of a Passport Specialist or Designated Acceptance Agent..."

 

 

 

 

Hello everyone,

So, l am in the same shoes with the poster. My husband is filing a CRBA for our daughter born in Nigeria but he can't come for the interview. He notarized the DS2029 and DS3053. Any ideas on where he can find a passport specialist or designated consular/acceptance agent required to sign the DS5507 in their presence in Fort Worth or Dallas? Please see a copy of the place it's stated on the form DS5507 that these are the only people acceptable? Thank you.

3. Consult an immigration attorney
