Dear, yes, the original passports of both parents are required, but if the father is in PRC, the copy of all pages in his passport. So he doesn’t need to mail his original passport to US. The passport doesn’t need to be notarized.
The original and copy of their marriage certificate is required if they have it.
Besides, in principle, both parents should go to the consulate general to apply for it for their child. But if the father cannot be there, he needs to provide a notarized written statement to consent his partner to apply for the travel documents for the child.
