Question: What was the age of majority in the early 1960s?

If it’s true as some are saying that BHO would’ve been listed on SAD’s passport because he was a minor, then given that she was not yet 18 in 1960 until November of that year, if she did have a previous passport then wouldn’t she have by necessity been listed on her own mother’s instead of one of her own?

If the age for obtaining an individual passport as an adult was 21 then SAD’s first opportunity to get one would’ve been November 1963. They were at that time good for 3 years with a 2 year renewal/extension possible. So why would she have needed one in 1965 if she’d had obtained one in 1963.

The only way I can see SAD having her own adult passport before the 1965 one is if the legal age was 18 and she’d gotten one almost immediately upon her birthday. Otherwise, maybe the person requesting the documents through FOIA, should look at granny Maddie’s 50’s & 60’s passport apps.

Why would she get one at age eighteen unless she was planning on traveling out of the country? When and where did she go? If she was traveling alone she would not have been on M’s passport. OTOH checking all angles out is a good idea.

Not necessarily. If parent and child are listed on the same passport than neither can travel without the other.

I had a passport of my own when I was 9 or 10. In 1959 or 60. Not on my parents’.
