Document background
The Consent Form For Minor Passport is a crucial document required by Dutch authorities when issuing passports to individuals under 18 years of age. This form is mandatory under the Dutch Passport Act and related regulations, ensuring proper authorization from those with legal custody of the minor. The document becomes necessary when applying for a minor's passport at any Dutch municipality (gemeente) or diplomatic mission abroad. It includes comprehensive details about the minor, the consenting parties, and their legal authority to make such decisions. The form helps prevent unauthorized passport issuance and serves as a protective measure against international child abduction, aligning with both domestic Dutch law and international treaties on child protection.
