Affidavit of Support and Consent (minor travelling abroad)

The DSWD travel clearance itself is applied for with the DSWD's own form, at a Field Office or online; this affidavit is one of the supporting documents. Check in the guide whether your case needs a clearance. The affidavit updates as you type; download the PDF and sign it before a notary public.

The document is drafted in English, the language commonly used for legal documents in the Philippines. Everyone who signs must understand it: have it explained in his or her language before signing.
