Document background
The Letter Of Consent For Passport By Parent is a crucial document required by Nigerian immigration authorities when issuing passports to minors. This requirement stems from the Nigerian Immigration Act 2015 and associated regulations, designed to prevent child trafficking and unauthorized travel of minors. The document must be properly executed with notarization or witness authentication to be valid under Nigerian law. It typically includes detailed information about the consenting parent(s), the child's particulars, and any specific conditions or limitations on the consent. This document is particularly important in cases involving single parents, divorced parents, or situations where only one parent can provide consent. The letter serves as a protective measure ensuring that passport issuance complies with both Nigerian law and international child protection standards.
