    Sorry -- this is incorrect.  While the passport application must be done where the child is (in this case, the US), it still requires both parents's signatures.  The US began requiring both parents' signatures on a minor's (under 16) passport application in 2001 -- even if one parent (or both parents) are not US citizens and if one of the parents is not in the US.  It was/is part of the effort to prevent international parental child abduction.  This requirement can involve the Embassy/Consulate.
     
    Yes, the DS-3053 is the correct form.  He can have it notarized at US Embassy Hanoi or the US Consulate in HCMC.  They provide notarial services for documents to be used in the US, regardless of the nationality of the individual needing the notarization.  He needs to make an appointment to do so, however:  https://vn.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/notarial-services/.

    Hello All,
    I am trying to help my friend apply for a US Passport for his son (2 years old) who is a US Citizen (born in the US).
    Mother and child is in the US.
    The father is currently in Vietnam waiting for his interview to get F2A Visa and go to the US.
    The child's US Birth cert has both mother and father on it.
     
    My question is, if he completes Form DS3053, he will need it to be notarized at the US Consulate in Vietnam, will they allow him to enter? How would he schedule an appointment if he does not have a Visa or Green card?
    Is the Form DS3053 correct for this situation?
     
    Thank you in advance.
