Preparation & service details

Boston Notary Service provides mobile notarization for parents or guardians completing the U.S. Department of State's Form DS-3053 Statement of Consent.

When is DS-3053 used?

The form is used in applicable child-passport situations when a parent or guardian cannot attend the passport application appointment. Follow the State Department's instructions for your family's circumstances.

Prepare for notarization

• Obtain the current DS-3053 form.
• Complete the required information before the visit, leaving the signature and date for the notary appointment.
• Bring the identification you will present to the notary.
• Prepare the required photocopy of that identification.
• Tell us how many consent forms and signers are involved.

The State Department requires DS-3053 and other notarized consent statements to be submitted within 90 days after signing or notarization. Check current instructions before your passport appointment.

Our service

We coordinate the notarial appointment. The passport application and consent requirements are determined by the State Department.

Mobile visits

Request appointments at your home, office or another agreed location in Boston and Greater Boston. Availability and pricing are confirmed when we respond.

For parents coordinating from different locations

Tell us which parent or guardian needs the consent signature notarized and where that person will be. The mobile notary appointment and the child’s passport application appointment are separate events. Plan enough time for the completed consent and required identification copy to reach the applicant.

What identification copy should be prepared?

Follow the current State Department form and passport instructions for the photo ID presented to the notary. Ask before the visit if you need printing or copying assistance. Do not assume that an emailed image replaces any original consent required for submission.

Can you decide which consent documents my family needs?

The State Department and the relevant legal circumstances determine the application requirements. If you have custody, absent-parent or consent questions, obtain the appropriate guidance before arranging notarization. We help with the requested notarial appointment rather than select a legal route.

Questions before you book

Who attends the notary appointment?

The parent or guardian whose signature on the consent statement needs notarization. Follow the State Department's instructions for your circumstances.

Should I sign DS-3053 before the visit?

Leave the signature and date for the notary appointment, following the form's instructions.

Is the notary appointment the passport appointment?

No. The notary visit covers notarization of the consent statement. The passport application is submitted separately under State Department requirements.

Mobile DS-3053 notarization for a parent or guardian

For a child-passport consent appointment in Boston, Cambridge, Brookline, Newton or Quincy, obtain the current State Department form and read its instructions first. Tell us who will sign and whether the passport appointment is already booked. The document's current instructions govern identification, supporting copies and timing.

Plan the signature before the passport appointment

Request an appointment window that leaves time to deliver the completed consent to the applicant. Share any instructions about original documents and identification copies rather than assuming a scan will be accepted. We confirm travel and appointment availability before the visit. If your situation involves questions about custody or who may consent, ask the appropriate legal professional or passport authority.
