Document background
The Consent For Minor Passport is a crucial document required by Austrian authorities when issuing passports to individuals under 18 years of age. This consent form is mandatory under the Austrian Passport Act (Passgesetz 1992) and must be properly executed before a passport can be issued to a minor. The document serves as legal protection for both the minor and the authorities, ensuring proper authorization exists from those with parental responsibility. It becomes particularly important in cases of separated parents, international travel, or when only one parent can provide consent. The form must be notarized and may require additional supporting documentation, especially in cases involving sole custody or absent parents. The document is processed by passport authorities and must comply with both federal Austrian regulations and local administrative requirements.
