Document background
The Parental Authorization Form For Minors To Travel is a crucial document required under Nigerian law when minors travel domestically or internationally without both parents present. This requirement stems from the Nigerian Immigration Act 2015 and Child Rights Act 2003, aimed at preventing child trafficking and ensuring child safety during travel. The document must be properly executed before a notary public or commissioner for oaths and typically includes detailed information about the minor, parent(s)/guardian(s), travel itinerary, accompanying persons, and emergency contacts. It's particularly important for school trips, family vacations with single parents, or when minors travel with relatives or authorized guardians. The form serves as official evidence of parental consent and is typically required by immigration authorities, airlines, and other travel operators.
