Document background
An Affidavit Allowing Minor To Travel is a crucial document required when a minor needs to travel without both or either parent/legal guardian. Under German law and EU regulations, this document provides legal protection for all parties involved and helps prevent child trafficking or unauthorized travel. The affidavit must be properly notarized according to German legal standards and typically includes comprehensive details about the minor, travel arrangements, accompanying persons (if any), and parental authorization. This document is particularly important for international travel, school trips, or situations where children travel with relatives or authorized guardians. It needs to comply with the German Civil Code (BGB), passport regulations, and relevant international travel requirements. The document serves as proof of parental consent for various authorities, including border control, airlines, and foreign immigration officials.
