Document background
The Affidavit of Guardianship for Travel is a crucial document required under Philippine law when a minor needs to travel without one or both parents. This document becomes necessary in various situations, such as school trips, family visits, or educational programs abroad. The affidavit must comply with Philippine immigration regulations and the Family Code of the Philippines, requiring proper notarization and specific details about all parties involved. It typically includes comprehensive information about the minor, the designated guardian, travel details, and the scope of authority being granted. The document serves as both a legal requirement and a protective measure, ensuring the minor's safety and providing clear documentation of temporary guardianship arrangements. Immigration authorities at Philippine ports of exit require this document to prevent child trafficking and ensure proper authorization for minor travel.
