This person must stay until ultrasound is done AND participate in the Informed Consent Session to sign procedure specific consent forms. We must have a photo ID WITH DATE OF BIRTH for the parent, a current photo ID WITH DATE OF BIRTH for the minor, and a Birth Certificate or other legal document that states that the person accompanying the minor is legally allowed to consent to the procedure. If the minor has a school ID without a date of birth, we request a school transcript that documents her birth date. If a minor is calling to schedule the appointment herself, we require her to have her parent contact us to be told this information. Photo ID of minor is subject to review. If a minor does not have any photo ID, then it must be obtained from the DMV.
