Document background
The Affidavit Of Support And Consent Parental Travel Permit is a crucial document required under German law when minors travel internationally, especially without both parents present. It serves dual purposes: providing official travel authorization from parent(s) or legal guardian(s) and establishing financial responsibility for the child's travel expenses and well-being. This document is particularly important in cases involving international travel, school trips, or situations where children travel with only one parent or third parties. It must comply with German Civil Code (BGB) requirements, international travel regulations, and child protection laws. The affidavit requires notarization and may need additional authentication depending on the destination country. It includes comprehensive information about all parties involved, travel details, emergency contacts, and support commitments, making it a vital tool for protecting children's interests during travel.
