Affidavit of Support and Consent Sample for a Travelling Minor

January 22, 2014 By Tammy 40 Comments

Hopefully, this Affidavit of Support and Consent sample can help parents get passports for their children. We looked for sample affidavits online, and couldn’t find any. We ended up making our own affidavit and having it notarized in Naga (for PHP50) before heading over to Legazpi. Looks like we had some missing information in ours – so we still had to make use of the services of the Affidavit Desk at the DFA (for PHP300). Here is the text of the correct affidavit that was put together by the DFA’s Affidavit Desk. It could help some of you save a couple of hundred pesos (and time too!)

    Hi, Will only one parent need to show his passport in the creation of this affidavit? What if only one parent has passport, the one travelling with the child?

      Hi! When we applied for our baby’s passport, we brought identification for both my husband and myself. From what I understand, it doesn’t have to be a passport for both – but you’ll need the passport of the adult that will accompany the child when traveling. You can check the list of documents we brought here – https://www.thespiralsun.com/how-to-get-a-philippine-passport-for-your-baby/

      For the affidavit, I think any form of government issued identification should work (drivers license, sss, tin, etc) – but what we used were our passports.

      Hope it helps! Good luck getting your travel documents! Hoping you get efficient service like we did.

        I read thsi in a forum:

        “The “a Notarized Affidavit of Support and Consent to travel from either parent (if minor is a legitimate child) / from mother (if minor is an illegitimate child)”
        is only applicable if she will not be travelling with the kid..

        How true is this?

          Hi Raymund. I don’t know how true that is. We brought an affidavit with us when we applied. It needed corrections too (which is why we posted the sample). But we (my husband and I) were both to accompany our baby during travel.

      Hi MissCristine, the process is pretty much the same except I think it should be you (the mother) who should be present for the personal appearance.

      Maybe this post will help you more in fixing your checklist: https://www.thespiralsun.com/how-to-get-a-philippine-passport-for-your-baby/

    Hi. Would like to ask if affidavit of support and consent still needed if the minor is travelling with his dad? Tnx for immediate reply.

      Hi Yhen. From how we understood it, it is needed even if the child travels with parents. It would be good to have one just in case.

    Hi. FYI, I applied for my son’s passport last Saturday at DFA NCR East (Megamall), I just submitted the original copy of Birth Certificate from the NSO, and photocopy of my passport then showed my original passport that’s all no need for affidavit of support consent. Hope this one helps.

      Hi! Thanks for letting us know. I wish the DFA offices were consistent with their requirements. It’ll save parents time and money if the affidavit really isn’t necessary.

    Hi, just want to clarify, what if parents are also applying passport together with their child for the first time? Base on the DFA list of requirements, parents should present their passport? How is it?

      Hi Almira. I don’t think it should be a problem since you’ll be bringing the necessary documents to get your passport. 🙂

    Hello there! Just want to ask if it would cause a problem if the date of marriage on the couple’s marriage certificate is different from what is on the child’s birth certificate? Will I still be able to get my child’s passport?

      Hi, Kath! I am not so sure. Hmm. If they allow children with parents who are not married to apply for a passport, then they should allow your child to get a passport too. Just make sure you (As the mother) have all the necessary documents too. Hopefully, it won’t be a problem though. My guess is, they’ll just ask for another affidavit.

      hi cecile. The affidavit is a document that you (or you can have it done at DFA, since they have those conveniently located staff that charge for their services) will supply, and have notarized. The sample that we have online is something you can copy and fill in with the child’s (and the parent’s) information. If the child is travelling without the parents, I’m not sure what other documents will need or where you’ll get them. Good luck!

      Hi, Emma! I’m afraid I do not know what the requirements are for DSWD. But the fee for the affidavit’s notarization depends on the lawyer or notary.

    Is the affidavit of consent and support should be notarized in the foreign country where the parents live? Is it need to be executed their also? Thank you.

      Hi, M.Q.! I don’t know if the requirements are the same if you go to a consul or embassy outside of the country. You may want to check with the local office.
