An Authorization Letter For Minor Passport is a crucial document required by Malaysian authorities when processing passport applications for individuals under 18 years of age. This document becomes necessary when applying for a new passport or renewal of an existing passport for a minor, particularly when one or both parents cannot be physically present during the application process. The letter must comply with Malaysian legal requirements, including the Malaysian Passports Act 1966 and Immigration Act 1959/63. It contains essential information such as the minor's details, parent/guardian information, explicit authorization statements, and is typically accompanied by supporting documents like identification papers and birth certificates. The authorization letter serves as a safeguard against unauthorized passport issuance and helps prevent potential child trafficking or custody dispute issues. It must be properly executed, often requiring notarization or certification by a Commissioner for Oaths to be legally valid in Malaysia.
