Children need a 5 year passport application form. Passports for Infants To apply for a baby's passport for the first time, you need to bring your child's family register issued within the last six months, along with two photographs and proof of the parent's current address, such as a driver's license or a checkbook. The size of the face in the photo should be about 2.7 cm from the top of the head to the chin. Please bring photo without shadows or background obstructions such as curtains. If the photo does not concur with the regulations, we may ask for the photo to be retaken.
Children have to apply for their own passports.
Children cannot be included in a parent's passport. The name should be spelled in the Hepburnian system, but if either parent is a non- Japanese citizen, you may submit a request to spell without using the Hepburnian system which may enable you to use the correct spelling. In this case you must bring such a document as a U.S. birth certificate to confirm the spelling. Please bring your child with you when submitting the application form. Please be prepared to write the address of your registered domicile in Japan as well as the contact name and address of person such as a family member or relative living in Japan, since these are required in the application.
