US State Dept mulls requiring parents' immigration docs for minors' passports

A leaked memo indicates the US State Department is analyzing a policy that would require parents or guardians to provide proof of legal status (green card, I-94, or citizenship) when applying for a minor's passport. This would mark a significant tightening of passport rules, potentially affecting migrant families with US-born children. The policy is under review, and its implementation and scope remain uncertain.
