In order to use the new passport service, a mother or father, as well as a court-appointed legal guardian or guardian of a child under 12 years of age who needs a passport or a temporary passport, must have an electronic signature - qualified, personal and/ or trusted signature
The online service will allow you to apply for a passport document for children up to 12 years of age without the need to make an appointment at the consulate. Collecting a document for a child aged 5-12 will require a personal visit of the child with one parent, legal guardian or curator at the consulate (without making an appointment).
