The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo and consulates in Japan have resumed routine American Citizen Services with limited appointment availability.
Note:
Applicants (children) must appear in person accompanied by both parents. Appointments are required.
Note: All documents must be original – no photocopies. All foreign documents must be accompanied by an English translation.
Children under age 16 cannot apply for a passport by themselves. Both parents/guardians must authorize the issuance of the child’s passport. The best way to do this is for both parents/guardians to go with the child in person to apply for the passport.
Please note that an application for a Social Security Number can only be submitted after receiving the original Consular Report of Birth Abroad and Passport. To obtain a Social Security Number for your child, see further details here.
Please call your nearest Consulate or Embassy:
