Document background
The Affidavit For Travel With One Parent is a crucial document required when a minor child travels internationally accompanied by only one parent or legal guardian under Austrian jurisdiction. This document serves as a legal safeguard against potential child abduction and ensures compliance with both domestic Austrian law and international travel regulations. It becomes necessary in various situations such as family vacations, school trips, or temporary relocations where both parents cannot travel together. The affidavit must include comprehensive details about all parties involved, specific travel arrangements, and explicit consent from the non-traveling parent. It requires proper notarization under Austrian law and must comply with the requirements of both the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB) and international treaties such as the Hague Convention on Child Abduction. This document is particularly important for border control, immigration authorities, and travel operators to verify proper authorization for the child's travel.
