The Affidavit For Minor Passport is a critical document within the Canadian passport application system, designed to protect minors' interests and prevent unauthorized passport issuance. This sworn statement is required when applying for a child's passport under specific circumstances, such as when one parent is absent, when there are special custody arrangements, or when additional legal verification is needed. The document must be executed in accordance with Canadian federal regulations and typically includes detailed information about the child, the parent(s) or guardian(s), and the specific circumstances necessitating the affidavit. It serves as a legal safeguard in the passport issuance process, helping prevent unauthorized travel and ensuring proper parental consent is documented. The affidavit must be sworn before a Commissioner of Oaths, Notary Public, or other authorized official, and may need to be accompanied by supporting documentation such as court orders or custody agreements.
