Document background
The Divorced Parent Travel Consent Form is a critical legal document required under South African law when a minor child of divorced parents needs to travel domestically or internationally with one parent or a third party. This document became particularly important following the implementation of stricter travel regulations by the Department of Home Affairs in 2015 to combat child trafficking. The form serves as official documentation of parental consent and must be authenticated by a Commissioner of Oaths. It includes comprehensive details about the child, parents, travel arrangements, and emergency contacts, ensuring compliance with both South African family law and immigration requirements. This document is essential for any divorced parent planning travel with their child and must be presented alongside other required travel documents such as passports and birth certificates.
