Document background
A Letter of Authorization to Travel is a crucial document required under Indonesian law when certain individuals, particularly minors, need to travel without their legal guardians or with only one parent. This document becomes particularly important in light of Indonesia's strict immigration policies and child protection laws, including Law No. 6 of 2011 on Immigration and Law No. 23 of 2002 on Child Protection. The letter must contain specific information about the traveler, authorizing parties, travel details, and emergency contacts, and typically requires notarization. It's especially relevant for international travel, school trips, family vacations with relatives, or situations involving separated parents. The document serves as a protective measure against child trafficking and unauthorized travel, while facilitating legitimate travel needs.
