Affidavit – minor child travelling abroad

AFFIDAVIT

 Minor child travelling abroad

Summary If a child crosses South Africa’s borders without their parents (as identified on the child’s birth certificate) then consent needs to be obtained from the parent/s who are not accompanying the child. A parental consent letter may be used by a parent or legal guardian to confirm their consent for their minor child to travel across South Africa’s borders without him/her.

What do you need to do to use the letter?

• Read the sample document to ensure that it suits your requirements.
• Complete the relevant personal details (this document is editable).
• Make sure that the document meets the current official requirements for a minor to cross South Africa’s borders.
• Sign the affidavit in front of a commissioner of oaths.

Each parent (or legal guardian) who is not accompanying the minor child across South Africa’s border needs to provide written consent.

This document is provided as a general example. Ensure that you confirm the exact and most up-to-date requirements before your child travels.
