Document background
An Authorization Letter For Minor Passport is a crucial document required by Irish authorities when applying for a minor's passport. This document becomes necessary when one or both parents/guardians need to formally authorize the issuance of a passport for a child under 18 years of age. The letter must comply with the Irish Passports Act 2008 and related regulations, requiring proper authentication by a Commissioner for Oaths or Notary Public. It serves as a protective measure to prevent unauthorized passport issuance and potential child abduction. The document includes comprehensive details about the minor, authorizing parties, and explicit consent statements. It may also need to address specific circumstances such as single parent authorization or court-ordered custody arrangements.
