Document background
The Letter of Consent for Passport is a mandatory document required by the Indian passport authorities in specific situations where explicit permission is needed for passport issuance. This document is particularly crucial when the passport applicant is a minor, requiring parental consent, or in cases involving married individuals where spousal consent may be necessary. The letter must comply with the requirements set forth by the Passports Act, 1967 and the Passport Rules, 1980, including proper notarization and specific content requirements. It serves as a legal safeguard ensuring that all relevant parties are aware and supportive of the passport application. The document must be drafted carefully to include all necessary details such as the parties' information, their relationship, the purpose of consent, and any specific conditions or limitations on the consent given.
