Here is the catch:

PASSPORTS FOR MINORS

 

A minor is defined for passport purposes as an unmarried, unemancipated person under the age of 18 years. 22 C.F.R. 51.1.

 

Either parent, whether a U.S. citizen or not, may apply for the U.S. passport for their minor child. However, the Two Parent Consent Law, effective July 2, 2001, requires that, for a child under the age of 16, both parents must consent to issuance, or the applying parent must document his/her sole authority to obtain a passport for the child. Thus, before a passport is issued for such a child, Passport Services will require evidence of one of the following: sole custody, a court order allowing the parent to travel with the child; a written statement under penalty of perjury that the other parent agrees to issuance or is unavailable, a termination of the other parent¡¯s parental rights, or compelling humanitarian reasons relating to the welfare of the child.

A passport will be needed for the child, both parents have to apply for it or, or One parent can apply as long as the other provides form DS-3053 consenting the passport issuance.
