I think that's optional information.
If you apply for adult US passport after natuaralization and dont know the parents date of birth what you can do? No way to know this.
Can you write unknown? If so does it result in any processing issue for the passport?
Yes, if you do not have that info, you can write unknown.
You don't even have to write your parents names, it's optional information. Of course most new US citizen feel like freed slaves and bend over before government at first opportunity!
Where does it say that parental information is optional for the passport application? Can you provide a pointer?
I am checking the passport application form and it looks like you need to provide that info: http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/79955.pdf?

Follow the online application process. There's a lot of information that is not marked as mandatory, unlike the paper form.

Thanks for the clarification because I did not see anything regarding this on the paper form.
Double that. Paper form does not indicate which fields are optional and which are mandatory.Follow the online application process. There's a lot of information that is not marked as mandatory, unlike the paper form.

There are fields that you MUST fill in, and there are fields that they ask you to fill in, but are not mandatory if you do not know the information, such as your parents' dates of birth and your travel plans. The paper application does not indicate this, but people often leave these fields blank as this information is often not known. The online application merely makes this clear.
