Document background
The Guardian Authorization Letter is a crucial legal instrument under Danish law used when parents or current legal guardians need to temporarily delegate caregiving authority to another responsible adult. This document becomes necessary in situations such as extended travel, temporary work assignments, medical procedures, or other circumstances where the primary guardian cannot be present for day-to-day decisions regarding the child. The letter must comply with Danish legal requirements, particularly the Parental Responsibility Act and Legal Guardianship Act, and should clearly outline the scope and duration of the temporary guardianship. It serves as official documentation for schools, healthcare providers, and other institutions, providing them with the assurance that the temporary guardian has legal authority to make specific decisions on behalf of the child.
