Document background
A Travel Guardianship Letter is a crucial legal document required when a minor child travels without their parents or legal guardians in Indonesia. This document becomes necessary in various situations, such as school trips, family visits, or educational programs where children travel under the supervision of teachers, relatives, or other authorized adults. The letter must conform to Indonesian legal requirements, particularly under Law No. 23 of 2002 on Child Protection and related immigration regulations. It typically includes detailed information about all parties involved, specific travel arrangements, the scope of authority granted, and emergency provisions. This document serves multiple purposes: it satisfies immigration requirements, provides legal protection for all parties involved, and ensures the child's welfare during travel. The letter must be properly executed, usually requiring notarization and, in some cases, additional authentication by relevant Indonesian authorities, especially for international travel.
