When it comes to immigration and passport documents, accuracy is everything.
If one parent cannot attend a passport or Consular Report of Birth Abroad appointment, you may be required to complete Form DS-5507.
At Notarizr, we help families get critical documents like this notarized quickly, correctly, and without unnecessary delays.
Let’s break it down.
What Is Form DS-5507?
Form DS-5507 is officially titled:
Affidavit of Physical Presence or Residence, Parentage, and Support
It is issued by the U.S. Department of State and is typically required when:
- A U.S. citizen parent is transmitting citizenship to a child born abroad
- One parent cannot attend the passport appointment
- Proof of physical presence in the U.S. is required
- Written parental consent must be provided
This form is often submitted alongside:
- Form DS-11 (U.S. Passport Application)
- Form DS-2029 (Consular Report of Birth Abroad)
Because this document contains sworn statements, it must be properly notarized.
And that’s where precision matters.
Why Proper Notarization Is Critical
DS-5507 includes legally sworn statements about:
- Biological parentage
- U.S. physical presence history
- Financial support
- Passport consent
If notarized incorrectly, your application can be delayed or rejected.
At Notarizr, we understand how immigration and citizenship documents move through embassies, passport agencies, and federal systems. Our process ensures your notarization meets compliance standards the first time.
How DS-5507 Should Be Notarized
Here’s what a professional notary must do:
1. Verify Identity
Government-issued photo ID is required. The name must match the form exactly.
2. Ensure the Form Is Signed in Front of the Notary
The signer must sign during the notarization session — never beforehand.
3. Administer a Verbal Oath
Because DS-5507 is a sworn affidavit, the notary must administer an oath or affirmation before signing.
4. Complete the Notarial Certificate Properly
This includes:
- State and county venue
- Date
- Notary signature
- Official seal
- Journal entry (if required by state law)
Missing any of these steps can cause rejection.

- The notary is properly commissioned
- Identity verification standards are met
- The receiving agency accepts electronic notarization
