Ex possibly forged my signature for passport....

[mistoffolees]

Uh... it is NOT a different situation, duh? It's not a simple re-issuance. It's a new passport application. I guess you've never done this? And if you haven't, you might want to bone up on USDOS requirements or keep your incorrect opinions to yourself.

I could take a copy of her passport in with me- and I carry copies of my and my kids and so's passports with me at all times in my backpack, briefcase and suitcases. A copy gets you nowhere unless you need a re-issuance at a US embassy abroad- then it helps facilitate the re-issuance.

Sorry, but you're wrong - as usual.

Lost passport process is different than the process for getting a new passport. Heck, they even have a special page covering it:
Form DS-64: Statement Regarding a Lost or Stolen Passport

LOL... you're so WRONG!!!!!

Dealing with minors is SO different.

Obviously you haven't dealt with this. I have. I've been to the website, I've been on the phone with the DOS. I did what I did and got the job done--- as always.

Your GED is showing. What ARE your qualifications? Please?

Not entirely true.

If OP has evidence that ex forged his signature, he could file a complaint with the police. Of course, that doesn't seem to be the case here because there's no evidence of anything.

I never said he couldn't file a complaint, I said he couldn't press charges. He doesn't have the authority to press charges.

Ok.. do you not want your child to travel internationally?

Have you made a stink of that with your ex in the past?

What does your judgment/order/decree state with respect to travel?

While USDOS requires that both parents and the child be present for a passport application, there are remedies if one parent can not be present or who refuses to authorize the application.

IMHO, you're making a mountain out of a mole hill. Now grow up.

The OP came here to find information about two items:
1. could he have his X charged with a crime if his signature was forged
2. finding out how to find out if there is a passport

What you did to get a reissued passport has nothing to do with the OP's questions. Please stop.
