What Is a Child Custody Affidavit

A child custody affidavit is a sworn statement related to child custody matters. These affidavits may be required for court proceedings, immigration cases, or other legal matters involving children. Most institutions require these documents to be notarized to verify authenticity.

Common Uses

Child custody affidavits are commonly needed for:

  • Court proceedings – Custody hearings and modifications
  • Immigration filings – Cases involving children
  • Travel authorization – Consent for minor travel
  • School enrollment – Custody documentation for schools
  • Medical decisions – Consent for medical treatment

Why Notarization Is Required

Courts and immigration authorities require child custody affidavits to be notarized to verify the identity of the person making the statement and ensure the document is authentic. Notarization adds legal weight and helps prevent fraud in sensitive matters involving children.

What to Bring

To have your child custody affidavit notarized, please bring:

  • Valid government-issued photo ID
  • Unsigned affidavit (do not sign before arriving)
  • Child's information (name, date of birth)
  • Any supporting documents or court orders
  • Any specific requirements from the requesting institution
