Abstract:
The Statement of Exigent/Special Family Circumstances for Issuance of a U.S. Passport to a Minor under Age 16 (DS-5525) is used in conjunction with the Application for a U.S. Passport (DS-11). This form is only for use if the written consent of the non-applying parent or guardian cannot be obtained. The statement must explain in detail the non-applying parent or guardian's unavailability, and recent efforts made to contact the non-applying parent/guardian. This form is not to be used if the non-applying parent/guardian refuses, or claims it is inconvenient, to provide notarized consent for the minor applicant.

Short Statement:
Demand forecast projections, by their nature, will have some uncertainty in their accuracy, which can explain differences between actual and forecast. The decrease from the previous estimates (43,526 respondents to 37,451) is attributed to the decrease in projected DS-11s over the next three years (from 11,763,831 for FY 2016-2018 to 11,015,000 from FY 2019 to 2021).
