Guideline for Drafting a Sworn Affidavit/Declaration of Parents for Minor’s Passport

Purpose:
This affidavit is used when parents apply for a passport for their minor child. It serves as a formal declaration affirming their consent, guardianship, and relationship with the child. It is essential for cases like single-parent applications, when one parent is unavailable, or for specific legal circumstances involving minors.

Steps to Draft:

  1. Title and Heading: Use a clear title, such as “Sworn Affidavit by Parents for Minor’s Passport.” Include jurisdiction details if required.
  2. Details of Parents: Include full names, addresses, contact numbers, and identification details (like Aadhaar or PAN numbers).
  3. Details of the Minor: Mention the minor’s full name, date of birth, and relationship with the parents.
  4. Declaration: Clearly state the purpose, such as consent for passport issuance, along with any specific information about custody or guardianship, if applicable.
  5. Signatures and Attestation: Parents must sign the affidavit in the presence of a notary or appropriate authority, who will verify and seal it.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

  1. Missing Information: Ensure all personal details, including the child’s name and DOB, are accurate and complete.
  2. Ambiguity: Use precise language to avoid misunderstandings.
  3. Improper Format: Adhere to local legal guidelines.
  4. Omissions: Neglecting to include the custody status or both parents’ consent if needed.

A well-drafted affidavit ensures smooth processing of the minor's passport application.
