Document background
The Consent For Minor Passport document is a crucial legal instrument required in the Netherlands when applying for a passport for individuals under 18 years of age. This document is mandated by Dutch law to protect minors' interests and prevent unauthorized passport issuance or potential child abduction. It must be completed by parents or legal guardians who have legal authority over the minor, demonstrating their explicit permission for the passport application. The document is typically required by Dutch municipalities (gemeenten), embassies, and consulates, and must comply with the Dutch Passport Act and Civil Code requirements. It may need to be accompanied by supporting documentation such as identity proofs, birth certificates, and custody orders where applicable.
