The Parent Affidavit For Driving Permit is a crucial document required by South African traffic authorities when a minor applies for a driving permit. This affidavit serves as formal proof of parental consent and acknowledgment of responsibility, as mandated by the National Road Traffic Act 93 of 1996 and its regulations. The document becomes necessary when any person under the age of 18 wishes to obtain a learner's or driver's permit in South Africa. It must contain specific declarations about the parent's identity and authority, the minor's details, and explicit consent statements. The affidavit needs to be properly executed before a Commissioner of Oaths to be legally valid and acceptable to traffic authorities.
