Does a mother need to have her father’s consent notarized when taking her daughter to travel to the United States?

Starting from May 15, electronic ordinary passports will be issued nationwide. According to relevant regulations, e-passport applicants under the age of 16 with household registration in this city need to provide the "Application Form for Chinese Citizens Going Abroad for Private Purposes", household registration book, recent bareheaded photos and other materials, and should also be accompanied by their guardians. Submit the guardian's consent to leave the country, guardianship certificate (such as birth certificate, household registration book, etc.), and the guardian's original and copy of the guardian's resident ID card, household registration book, or passport. If the father's information is filled in on the custody certificate, both parents should be present regardless of whether the parents are divorced or not. If one party is unable to attend, he/she needs to provide the original, copy and signed authorization letter of his or her ID card.
