Document background
The Parent Consent Passport Form is a crucial document in the Malaysian passport application process for minors, designed to protect children's interests and prevent unauthorized international travel. This form became mandatory under Malaysian immigration laws to combat child trafficking and ensure proper parental authorization for minor's travel documents. The Parent Consent Passport Form must be completed by either both parents or legal guardians, or in special circumstances, by a single parent with appropriate supporting documentation. It requires detailed personal information, explicit consent declarations, and must be properly witnessed and verified by authorized officials. The form is particularly important in cases involving divorced parents, single parents, or legal guardians, where additional documentation may be required to establish legal authority to consent to the passport application.
