What Is the Home Affairs Consent Form?

The consent form (PDF BI‑529E) is required when a minor travels abroad, applies for a passport, or needs official permission for certain legal processes. It confirms that a parent or legal guardian approves the action and provides essential identification details.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaving fields blank: Every field marked with an asterisk (*) is mandatory.
