evidence: skyblupink Posted July 1, 2015 #17 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I am a single mother of a now 16 year old. I am the only one listed on his birth certificate as parent, no father listed - the "sperm donor" as I call him was gone from our lives while I was still pregnant. I have been on three cruises with my son to Mexico, Grand Cayman, St. Martin, Belize, Roatan, etc. We have NEVER had a problem about needing anything but his official birth certificate and picture ID - he has a passport now. There was never a need for a letter, court papers regarding custody (which there are none - situation never arose), etc. Can I ask how you got a passport without the father? I am in the same situation and needing passport. No father listed on Birth Certificate. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... [...] Muumuu Posted July 1, 2015 #19 Share Posted July 1, 2015 A little different twist. My daughter is a single mom with a child out of wedlock. Fathers name is on BC. During custody litigation daughter has as part of agreement has sole custody with a court order that child is to maintain passport, updated as needed and father cannot interfere or try to restrict international travel of either of them.
