I would contact the US Passport Agency on that one.  My initial thought would be for you to sign them with your name as the parent of a minor.  However, the rules could be different.  I would also suggest that whenever you travel with them, bring certified copies of each birth certificate.

No. I went through the same thing when I wanted to bring my son to Panama. His father had to give written consent for him to get his passport.

I believe the Passport Agency uses that block.  The types of passports are:\n\nRegular  (Blue in Color - used to be Green)\nDiplomatic (Black)\nOfficial (Red these are issued to mitary, government employees, congressmen, and some government contractors.  Diplomats sometimes use these when traveling to countries other than their posted countries).\n\nDP are (I believe) fee waived passports.  emergency travel for refugees, etc.\n\nHope that helps.

A visa (short for the Latin carta visa, lit. "the document having been seen") is a document issued by a country giving a certain individual permission to formally request entrance to the country during a given period of time and for certain purposes (but see below for caveats and exceptions). Most countries require possession of a valid visa as a condition of entry for foreigners, though there exist exemption schemes (see passport for examples of such schemes). Visas are typically stamped or attached into the recipient's passport, or are sometimes issued as separate pieces of paper.\n\nA passport is a formal identity document or certification issued by a national government that identifies the holder as a national of a particular state, and requests permission, in the name of the sovereign or government of the issuing country, for the bearer to be permitted to enter and pass through other countries. Passports are connected with the right of legal protection abroad and the right to enter one's country of nationality. Passports usually contain the holder's photograph, signature, date of birth, nationality, and sometimes other means of individual identification. Many countries are in the process of developing biometric properties for their passports in order to further confirm that the person presenting the passport is the legitimate holder.\n\nThe purpose oof both VISA and PASSPORT are that people can go to any other country.\n\nThat was a very difficult Question.
