A Sworn Affidavit is a self-declared document in which the person affirms that all the information provided by them is true, correct and complete.
This affidavit is generally required for purposes such as obtaining a passport, visa, government job, or during any legal procedure, where an individual has to certify certain facts or circumstances, like giving consent for a minor or providing clarification when a specific document is not available.
Requirement of a Sworn Affidavit for Issuing a Passport to an Indian Minor
When parents apply for a passport for their minor child and one of them resides outside India, they are required to submit an affidavit.
In such cases, the parent living outside India must submit this affidavit.
It must be attested by the Indian Embassy or Consulate in that country, where the parent resides. The affidavit must carry the official stamp and signature of the authority.
Through this affidavit, the parents declare that they have no objection to the issuance of a passport for their minor child.
Along with the Affidavit, the parent living outside India must also provide a copy of their passports and the Annexure D form.
Along with these documents, the parent residing in India should affix a copy of Annexure C and submit the minor's passport application.
