Pursuant to 22 C.F.R. § 51.28(a)(3)(ii)(E), “[a] passport application may be executed on behalf of a minor under age 16 by only one parent or legal guardian if such person provides:… (ii) Documentary evidence that such person is the sole parent or has sole custody of the minor. Such evidence includes, but is not limited to, the following:…(E) An order of a court of competent jurisdiction…specifically authorizing the applying parent or legal guardian to obtain a passport for the minor, regardless of custodial arrangements; or specifically authorizing the travel of the minor with the applying parent or legal guardian.” In accordance with this provision, the Court ORDERS as follows:
