Children's passports with exH

My ExH applied for passports for my children and didn't tell me. They've been living it up abroad last week and are travelling to his home nation (him on his dual nationality passport, kids on their uk passport) later this month.
AIBU to be pissed off that he has applied for the passports, done the first holiday and hasn't even put any mention of me in their contacts?
For sake of stating they live with me and go to him alternate weekends and half of school holidays.
I'm just suprised he managed to get them out of the country without my consent!

It isn't just automatically achieved though. The parent has to be an American citizen and apply for their child's US passport, proving they've lived in the US before the birth of their child for 5 years, plus a lot of other things. It's a fairly lengthy and in depth process. I found getting the UK passport for my DS much easier than getting his USA and Canadian ones (as an American mother with a British father).
