At the US Department of State website for passports, it states that if parents are unable to appear:
A third party may apply for the child’s passport with a notarized
statement from both parents/guardians giving that third party
permission to apply for the child.The statement must include a photocopy of the parents/guardians’
identification. When the statement is from only one parent/guardian,
the third party must present evidence of sole custody of the
consenting parent/guardian.
In all circumstances, you must be accompanied by one adult, but it doesn’t have to be your parents.
