A child's passport application normally needs both parents' consent. If one parent cannot come to the Passport Seva Kendra, that parent gives a signed consent letter. Passport Seva prescribes Annexure D for this; the wording below follows it in plain English so you can check what you are signing.
I, Sunil Thomas, son of Thomas Kurian, residing at Flat 5B, Lakeview Apartments, Kakkanad, Kochi 682030, holder of passport no. N7654321, am the father of Master Aaron Thomas, born on 14 February 2018.
I have no objection to a passport being issued to my son Master Aaron Thomas. The application is being submitted by my wife, Mrs. Anju Thomas, and I consent to her signing and submitting it on behalf of the minor.
I confirm that there is no court order restraining the issue of a passport to the minor and that the minor is not the subject of any custody dispute.
Names, numbers and dates above are examples. Replace them with yours.
Annexure D is a plain declaration, no stamp paper. If the parent is abroad, it should be attested by the Indian Embassy or notarised locally. Separated parents without the other's consent use Annexure C instead.
Annexure D's official wording is on passportindia.gov.in; download and sign that if the office insists. This sample follows it so you understand it.
Get the consent attested by the Indian Mission there, or notarised and apostilled, and attach it.
Use Annexure C (declaration by a single parent) instead of a consent letter.
