I just got my son his first passport a few months ago on my own. I submitted a copy of my custody order stating I had 100% physical & legal custody. My sons birth certificate does have both parents names, so I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get a passport (I am no contact with sons father)Yes, you can get a child passport without both parents present but you have to have a notarized specific document saying they give permission for the other parent to get the child a passport. We had my husband and I both in person for our older kids’ passports and he signed the document for me to be able to get our youngest’s without being present.
Some of these posts have me worried about what I’ll need to travel out of the country with him.
On topic, I would imagine the kids had passports — though BW has been in legal trouble almost the entirety of the kids lives, I think? I sorta feel like he wouldn’t want to get the kids passports if he wasn’t at the time able to travel out of country too. He could have seen that as giving her even more power/leverage. All imo. Skimmed the last few pages and not sure if we already know whether or not the kids have been to Serbia with her..
