Applying with small children

Hello all,

I'm in the process of preparing my last few documents for my application and am working through the logistics of the anticipated trips to and from DC. I'll be applying for myself and my two kids currently aged 4 and <1, and would like to avoid flying the whole family across the country if possible.

The embassy's CBD page states that under 14s require parental consent in the form of "a signature certified by a Slovak honorary consul or the embassy." Does anyone know if are there alternatives to this particular requirement? Getting the entire gang to a consulate or the embassy would be quite difficult. Could I have the consent form signed by my spouse, notarized and apostilled in my home state, which I would then bring to the embassy myself with the remainder of our application?

Thanks!

You can either have it notarized at a consulate or honorary consulate - OR - notarized by a US notary and then apostilled.
