Document background
The Form For Parent Consent For Passport is a crucial document required by Pakistani authorities when issuing passports to minors under 18 years of age. This requirement stems from the Passport Act, 1974, and subsequent regulations designed to prevent unauthorized international travel of minors and protect their interests. The form serves multiple purposes: it demonstrates parental awareness and approval of the passport application, helps prevent child trafficking or unauthorized removal from the country, and provides a clear record of parental authorization for passport authorities. The document must be properly executed before authorized officials and may require additional supporting documentation, particularly in cases involving divorced parents, sole custody, or other special circumstances. It's designed to balance the need for legitimate travel documentation while maintaining robust child protection measures within the Pakistani legal framework.
