Document background
The Affidavit for Parental Consent to Travel is a mandatory document under Indonesian law when minors travel internationally without both parents present. This requirement stems from Indonesia's commitment to preventing child trafficking and ensuring child protection in international travel. The document must be executed before an authorized Indonesian notary public and comply with both local and international travel requirements. It typically includes comprehensive details about the minor, the parent(s) giving consent, specific travel arrangements, and emergency contacts. The affidavit serves as official evidence of parental authorization and is typically required by immigration authorities, airlines, and foreign embassies. Its format and content are governed by Indonesian immigration law and related regulations, particularly Law No. 6 of 2011 and its implementing regulations.
