The Consent Letter From Parent For Minor Passport is a mandatory document in the Philippines, required by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) when processing passport applications for individuals under 18 years of age. This requirement is established under the Philippine Passport Act of 1996 and subsequent DFA regulations, serving as a critical safeguard against unauthorized travel and potential child trafficking. The document must include specific details about the minor, the consenting parent(s) or legal guardian(s), and the purpose of the passport application. It requires notarization to verify the identity of the signing parent(s) and establish the document's legitimacy. This consent letter becomes particularly crucial in cases involving single parents, overseas Filipino workers, or special circumstances affecting parental authority.
