age limit for passports
Each person must have their own separate passport including children. Their name can no longer be included in the parent's passport. Passports for children up to 18 years of age will be valid for five years from the date of issue or until the child attains the age of 18 years, whichever is less. If the child is over 17 years but less than 18 years, a normal 5-year validity passport will be issued, for a normal fee. While completing an online application, in the 'service desired' field, choose option 'Passport for Children under 18 years of age'.
