Should I sign my three year old twins US passports as their mother or leave the signature line blank?

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.

You just do so.  You dont physically have to change anything but your signature, How old are you?  If you dont own a house and have a career you can change it whenever you want... I practiced with mine and its pretty now... =-)

Slip him a small plain white envelope which contains a sheet of paper on which you have written a note which says\n\nTHIS NOTE ENTITLES THE BEARER TO ONE FULL THREE DAY WEEKEND WITH ME FOR THE PURPOSE of FATHER/SON or DAUGHTER BONDING.\n\nThis note is redeemable only by (your father's name here) and is guaranteed to be good for the term of my lifetime.\n\n                   Sign it here:_________________________\n\n                   Witnessed by:____your Mom signs here__

Start with your signature... then make it completely unreadable. Now you have an autograph.

It would be absurd for anyone to offer a definitive answer for your situation without looking at the language written into your contract.\n\nTechnically, you offer a service, and the contract is for payment for services rendered.  The contract also states that services rendered would be provided under certain conditions and allowances.  (I assume this much from what you've indicated)  \n\nHowever, there is specific language which needs to be used in the contract- language which makes your agreement "legal" and language which covers any possible loopholes which may exist.\n\nAt the minimum, both parties need to be identified and referred to in the same manner throughout the entire document.  Dates and dollar amounts specified, and in some cases written out completely (no numbers, as numbers can get "misread" 1's and 7's sometimes look similar, dependant on handwriting or typeset)  All stipulations must be clearly indicated, and any signatures must be dated, and prefaced with something indicating all parts of the document were read, understood, and accepted as a contract for services rendered.\n\nIt's probably not worth the trouble to pursue this matter.  Have you truly lost a ton of money, or are you trying to get back at the parent?\n\nConsider the children.  If you think them as angels, do you want to put them through a possible court proceeding?

this is an odd choice.  Check how they wrote your name(s) on the envelope.  The M___ should be completed as "Mr.", "Ms.", etc., then your name(s).  The second line is for a check mark and not a number (You should not assume that you can bring guests unless the envelope was addressed to you "and Guest")

It states that; You may send photocopies of requested documents unless the INS specifically asks for an original. In the event that an original document is sent when it is not required it will be kept in the records of the INS. That means if you send an original technically they won't throw it away, but you'll never see it again so definately don't send things like your ID or passport of course. I personnally sent my original birth certificate since I can easily get another, but really that wasn't even necessary. Basically just send copies of everything unless you see it stated somewhere that they require the original. Pictures, the petition itself, and anything that has to be notarized or stamped by an official should be the original. And a strong word of advice from personal experience: make sure you send EVERYTHING they need the 1st time, if even 1 detail is missing they won't hesitate to delay things for many months, like they did with me, 3 times! My supposed 6-12 month process has been going on for more than 2 years. Good luck to you!!

you will want to check with the Immigration rules on this one but i am sure you are good to go . as long as husband and wife's name is on the birth certificate your OK  but I'd still get professional advice even ask a lawyer won't hurt better to be safe then sorry ..wish you all the luck

The person who's name and photo are on the passport must sign it.

Post it so it has to be signed for at the other end too. Better still Fedex it! Thats what I did for my hubby.

Yes, if it's his baby.  They're married and although they may be separated, they're still legally bound.  The father has every right to demand that the baby be given his last name and if I were him, I would refuse to sign the birth certificate if anything else was put in.\n\nWhy assume the man left?  She didn't say that in her question.  She only said they were separated.  Maybe the mother is the one who left!

If the child is old enough to sign his name, have him sign the back, and then just deposit it.   If the child is too young to sign, a check should not have been written to him in the first place, but you can sign his name like this:   "John Doe, a minor, by Mary Doe, parent and natural guardian."

Technically, no. A check is a form of commercial paper and signing it should be done by the person who is named unless that person has granted the other person a power of attorney which includes the right to sign for him/her as his/her attorney-in-fact.\n\nThe fact that the other people answering have done so is not an indication that it is legal, or even correct, but more an indication that their significant other/spouse was not going to challenge them in court over it. But that could happen if things ever got ugly and then signing someone else's name would be forgery and both the bank who accepted it and the forger would be in trouble.\n\nThis all is only true if a  check is made out to you AND your spouse. If it is made out to you OR your spouse or doesn't say anything just your two names then only one of you has to sign at all.

Your proposed document is self-serving.\n\nAn affidavit or even an unsworn letter from a professional person -- lawyer or doctor -- who knows you would be more impressive. I wrote such a letter for our former nanny, who is going from England on a short visit to Florida with her son.\n\nAs for taking a child to another jurisdiction (state or province) to reside, you should know that if the other parent (whether or not having custodial rights) has visitation privileges you cannot move the child's habitual residence to another jurisdiction without his or a court's consent. The operative document is The Hague Convention on Child Abduction, and states and provinces enforce similar rules domestically as well.\n\nIf you are not Canadian, you might qualify for a NAFTA visa if you have a professional degree or qualification.

One of the best programs that I am aware of is "Kindersigns". The Human Services program Birth to Three uses some of the signs especially in babies who are language delayed. The signing can also be used with babies who are quite young. There is a book out called 'Kindersigns Baby Signing 101' - it's not just for babies.

Just start using the one you like better.   If anyone ever actually checks the new one against an old one, you just say you got tired of writing out the whole thing.  If they get really upset, just offer to re-sign with the "old" signature.\n\nBanks routinely do not check signatures on checks below $5,000 or sometimes $10,000.  If you are likely to be writing large checks, next time you are at the bank, mention that you've shortened up your signature and would they like you to add that to the signature card.

I began learning American Sign Language my sophomore year in high school. My friend was having a surgery that would either fix his hearing, or make him deaf. It was a wonderful experience, learning the language. Now I use some simple baby signs with my toddler, and it has helped us communicate better.
