Passport

[Ronn63 41]

Hello all PI immigration gurus!!

We are wondering what are the requirements for getting my wife's daughter a passport in the PI. My wife is here now, and her 6 year old daughter is in the care of family in the PI. Is there any magic power of attorney we must get? What other requirements are there? NSO birth certificate and that's it?

All answers are appreciated!!
