Document background
A Consent Letter For Minor Passport is a crucial document required by Swiss authorities when issuing passports to individuals under 18 years of age. This document is necessary to ensure compliance with Swiss child protection laws and international regulations preventing child abduction. It demonstrates that all parties with legal custody rights have given their informed consent for the passport issuance. The letter must be properly notarized and may require additional authentication depending on the specific canton's requirements. It's particularly important in cases involving single parents, separated parents, or legal guardians, where clear documentation of authority to consent is essential. The document typically includes detailed information about the minor, the consenting parties, and specific authorizations regarding the passport application and issuance.
