It seems that typical gov't doublespeak is the norm here. State dept website states that a US passport is sufficient, while on the actual application form ds 11 it states otherwise. It would have been helpful for proof of citizenship section it would have listed ' current or recently expired US passport" as the first item of proof. Anyway, everyone has been quite helpful here, thank you.

Looking at form ds 11, it states that the attached is needed to show proof of citizenship as the first pasport over 16 needs to use form ds 11 and be submitted in person. No where on this could I find where it says all is needed is a prior 5 year US passport, hence my confusion on the matter.

Thank you. On the Thai embassy website, I could not find any info like this, only that for first passport over 16 she needed all of the documents as I posted above. I guess the Thai embassy definition for "first passport over 16" is the actual first passport and not the first passport issued after the age of 16. It makes sense that a prior passport is all that is needed for a first passport issued as a legal adult, but the embassy does not define this at all.

Yes, her current passport has a couple more months of validity.

So my daughter needs to renew her US passport using for DS-11 as this will be her first passport over the age of 16. I see that on form ds 11 they are asking for numerous documents including form ds 5507 for the US parent who lives abroad. I also see that they want this notarized in front of a consular offical. This will not be possible, so I was wondering if an in country public notary will suffice. This is in Thailand. Thanks for any guidance in this.
