Who signs the passport once it arrives?
The individual the passport is issued to, unless that individual is too young to have a proper signature. In those cases, a parent can sign the passport for them if they follow this procedure: in the space provided for the signature, the mother or father must print the child’s name and sign their own name. Then, in parentheses by the parent’s name, write the word (mother) or (father) to distinguish who signed for the child.
