The Parent Consent Letter For Passport is an essential document in the Philippine legal framework for minor passport applications. It is required whenever a passport application is submitted for an individual under 18 years of age, in accordance with the Philippine Passport Act of 1996 and DFA regulations. The document serves multiple purposes: it provides legal authorization for passport issuance, helps prevent child trafficking, and ensures both parents are aware of and consent to the potential international travel of their child. The letter must be notarized to verify the identity of the signing parent(s) and must include comprehensive details about the child, parents, and the purpose of the passport application. Special provisions exist for cases involving single parents, legal guardians, or situations where one parent is deceased or unavailable. This document is particularly crucial in the Philippines' legal context, where strict measures are in place to protect minors and prevent unauthorized international travel.
