I need some advice or clarity please
My wife passed away and had been dealing with all of our sons paperwork and I can not for the life of me find it. I have notified that the card is lost and need to apply for a new passport. The problem is - without the old passport and the green card, I don't have a new/valid photo ID for him. He is 17 and was homeschooled/disabled so I don't have school records
I have:
His old birth country passport (expired)
A copy of the front and back of the GC
His SS card
A copy of his original US passport (he had a name change ) . That passport is no longer valid as the passport center cut off the corner
I think - and I'm not sure, that if he is under 18 and I go with him, I can present my own ID as proof of identification. I will take with all of the above in the hope it gets accepted
I will also sign the identification affidavit - DS-17
For proof of citizenship there is a document search option for $150, so I think that will be ok
Anyone have any other suggestions or have been through this before?
