dswd travel clearance uae

This article talks about the requirements you need to be able to travel abroad with a minor that’s not your child. Maybe you want to go to UAE with your nieces or nephews, or have a vacation in Singapore with them.

Basically, you have to prove to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) that the parents of these minors allow you to be their guardian during the trip, and that you are capable of providing for them financially and with the care and protection they need.

Who Needs a DSWD Travel Clearance?

Steps to filing for a travel clearance, when and how to get a dswd travel clearance.

The following information is shared to us by YouTube vlogger Lerma of Pinay Abroad Vlogs . Lerma shares her experiences about the requirements and the steps for getting a DSWD Travel Clearance for her two nieces; clearances that they needed when they went to Malaysia and Singapore for vacation.

A travel clearance from DSWD is NOT NEEDED for minors if they are:

  • Traveling with either parent
  • Traveling with a legal guardian

A travel clearance from DSWD is NEEDED for minors who are:

  • Traveling alone
  • Traveling with a person who’s not their parent

Here are the requirements you need:

1. Application Form You can download the Application form from the DSWD website .

2. Photocopy of Birth Certificate of the Minor/s

The photocopied birth certificates must be PSA authenticated.

3. Photocopy of the Passport of the Minor

4. Photocopy of the Passport of the Minor’s Companion

5. Marriage Contract of the Parents of the Minor

The original and photocopied marriage contract of the parents of the minor must also be PSA authenticated.

If the minor has a single parent, then you must supply a PSA authenticated CENOMAR (Certificate of No Marriage).

6. Notarized Affidavit of Support or Guarantee

The affidavit must state that you, as the adult companion, must sponsor the travel of the minors. The affidavit should also include your name, occupation, passport details, salary details, etc.

Indeed, it is very important that you are able to shoulder the expenses of traveling and taking care of the minor while on travel.

You should also indicate in the affidavit the country you are visiting in and how many days you will be in the country.

7. Notarized Affidavit of Consent to Travel

This document should note that the parents are providing consent to the adult companion to be with the minor during the travel. This should include the photocopy of the valid IDs of the parents and the name of minor/s.

The photocopy of the valid IDs of the parents should contain three specimen signatures of the parents.

Other details include travel destination, period of travel, name and details of the accompanying adult, including relationship to the minor.

8. Two (2) Colored with White Background Passport Size Picture of the Minor

These pictures will be pasted directly on the top left portion of the travel clearance.

Photos should be recent; within the last 6 months.

9. Passport Copy of the Traveling Companion

10. COE or Employment Contract or Bank Statement (Accompanying Adult)

11. Waiver Signed by the Minor’s Parents

The waiver should state explicitly that DSWD is not liable or responsible for any untoward incident that may happen to the minor during the travel.

In case the parents are deceased, you have to provide death certificate of the diseased parent. For the guardian: one copy of the guardian’s birth certificate .

The fee for each minor is 300 PhP , although you must check the DSWD website at all times for changes.

Processing time is usually 3 days, but in most cases, you can actually get the clearances in the same day you applied for them. Usually it takes 2 to 3 hours.

1. Go to a DSWD Office. 2. Fill up the form. 3. A DSWD Personnel will assist you to test the validity of your requirements. 4. Make the payment. 5. Wait. Typically, the clearance will be released after a few minutes.

The Clearance will include the following information:

  • Name of minor
  • Date of birth
  • Parents address
  • At the back: your name (accompanying adult)
  • Relationship to minor
  • Destination
  • Purpose of travel

Taking Care of the Travel Clearance:

  • Keep it in good condition while traveling
  • Make sure that its in good condition while you are traveling. Not tarnished.
  • Don’t laminate. Officials have to check the three seals in the document.
  • Travel clearances have a one (1) year validity; but if there are changes in any information shown in the clearance, then it is no longer valid.

There you have it. These are the requirements needed to get a DSWD Travel Clearance. However, you should always check the DSWD website for any changes to the requirements.

How to Get a DSWD TRAVEL CLEARANCE: REQUIREMENTS & Application Process

By continuing to read this article, you agree to double-check with the concerned establishments for the latest updates.

It’s always fun traveling with kids. Seeing the look on their faces when they experience something for the first time is always priceless. I had traveled with kids in the family twice: First, to Hong Kong for their much awaited Disneyland visit, and second, to Tokyo, to visit a close relative.

The problem is, I am not their father, just an uncle, so I had to secure a travel clearance for them.

THEPOORTRAVELERKLOOK

Traveling with minors who aren’t your children adds a step in the whole trip preparation. You will need a get a DSWD Travel Clearance before your trip. Failing to secure one will lead to being offloaded by the Immigration Officials at the airport. It is a necessary document that they need to protect children from crimes including child trafficking.

WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS GUIDE?

WHO NEEDS A DSWD CLEARANCE?

Not all minors traveling to a foreign country need a DSWD Clearance. It is only required for the following:

  • a minor traveling alone
  • a minor accompanied by a person other than his/her parents

If the minor is traveling with either parent, no need for one. If the minor is traveling with the legal guardian, no need for one (but you must have all documents to prove that you are indeed the legal guardian).

If you’re not the mother or father or legal guardian, you need a DSWD clearance for each minor you’re traveling with. If that’s not clear enough: Even if you are a brother, sister, aunt, uncle, grandmother, grandfather, or cousin of the minor, you need a clearance.

Note: When we say “legal guardian”, we mean LEGAL guardian with LEGAL documentation stating your guardianship by law. If you’re ACTING as a guardian but you don’t have the legal documents to show guardianship, you will still need a DSWD clearance to travel with the minor.

As of January 2014, this is what a DSWD Clearance looks like.

DSWD CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS

Below is a list of documents required to secure a DSWD Travel Clearance. This covers minors traveling with someone who isn’t their parent or legal guardian. If the minor will be traveling alone, there is a separate list for that with additional requirements such as Unaccompanied Minor Certificate from the Airlines .

There have been a lot of changes to the requirements. Now, there is a separate list of documents for those who are traveling for the first time and those who have traveled before with the non-parent companion.

IMPORTANT! I have applied for my nephew and niece multiple times now, and THE REQUIREMENTS CHANGE EACH AND EVERY TIME! It’s absolutely frustrating, to be honest, because I couldn’t predict what other documents they would need from me. And they don’t update their website accordingly. Hence, please call DSWD before your application to be absolutely sure.

FIRST-TIME DSWD Clearance Requirements

These are the requirements for minors traveling for the FIRST TIME with a companion who is NOT their parent.

  • A duly accomplished application form. You can download it here .
  • A photocopy of the minor’s birth certificate (SECPA)
  • 2 colored passport size photos of the minor taken within the past 6 months. Scanned photos are NOT accepted.
  • A photocopy of the passport of minor’s travel companion.
  • Notarized Affidavit of Support and Consent to Travel . Download a copy here .
  • Valid ID of parents with specimen signature
  • A photocopy of one of the following , whichever is appropriate: – If minor has both parents: the parents’ marriage certificate (SECPA) – If minor is under a legal guardian: the Certificate of Legal Guardianship – If minor is under a solo parent: solo parent identification card or certification from the Municipal DSWD Office; or if Muslim, Tallaq or Fasakh certification from any Muslim Barangay, the Shariah court or a religious leader – If minor is illegitimate: a Certificate of No Marriage from the local civil registrar – If one of the parents is deceased: death certificate – If minor is an immigrant, visa petition approval. – If minor is traveling for medical purposes, medical certificate – If minor is studying abroad, acceptance letter from school abroad – If minor is attending a conference, a certification from the organizers
  • Authorization Letter from Parents/Legal Guardian . Only if the person applying is not a parent or legal guardian of the minor. Download sample here.
  • Waiver signed by parents. This should explicitly state releasing DSWD from any liability/responsibility in case of untoward incident during the travel of the minor.

DSWD Clearance RENEWAL Requirements

These are the requirements for minors who have already traveled before with a companion who is not their parent.

  • Original copy of previous DSWD travel clearances.
  • Notarized Affidavit of Consent to Travel . Download a copy here .

Possible Additional Requirements

DSWD may require additional documents aside from those listed above, so make sure you apply early and NOT too close to the travel dates so you have time to secure them.

Here are some other requirements that they might look for based on my experience and those of some of our readers.

  • Roundtrip ticket of the minor and companion . In my experience, sometimes they ask for it; sometimes, they don’t. If you’re already booked, best to bring a copy of the ticket. If your flights are not yet booked, it’s best to just call the office before your application to confirm.
  • Notarized Affidavit of Support with Undertaking of Sponsor (showing employment status and salary). Some sources say this is a requirement, and one of our readers was also asked to provide this. The official DSWD website’s FAQ page lists this as a requirement. But it’s hard to trust the website because it’s messy as eff.
  • Proof of Financial Capability of Sponsor . This can be Certificate of Employment, Latest ITR, Bank Statements, etc. of sponsor (parent, legal guardian or other person/agency shouldering the expenses). In my experience, I was never asked to submit this.I also always bring a copy of this, but they never asked to see it. Maybe it’s a new requirement, maybe they ask applicants depending on the situation. Call the office where you plan to submit to be 100% sure. Just bring it with you to be on the safe side.
  • Invitation Letter , only if the purpose of travel is to visit a friend or relative, or the minor won’t be staying in a hotel.
  • Copy of parents’ passports . Only if the parents are based abroad.

That’s about it.

IMPORTANT! If we haven’t stressed this enough, let us say this again: CALL THE DSWD FIELD OFFICE where you wish to apply for the updated list of requirements. THE REQUIREMENTS CHANGE EACH AND EVERY TIME so it’s hard to keep track!

Written Consent or Affidavit of Consent?

Update: October 2018.

A notarized Affidavit of Consent is now a requirement.

In my previous applications, I was never asked to submit an Affidavit of Consent. I would usually just present a simple non-notarized written consent signed by both parents and they accepted it. However, in my most recent application, they asked for a notarized Affidavit of Consent for the first time.

So to be on the safe side, I strongly recommend that you secure a Notarized Affidavit of Consent to Travel for a couple of reasons. First, because a notarized affidavit can take the place of the simple written consent. Meaning, if DSWD asks for a simple consent letter, they will accept the affidavit because it’s a more binding legal document. On the other hand, if they require an affidavit and you don’t have it, the written consent may not suffice. It’s safer to have the affidavit.

The second reason: because you might also need it when passing through Immigration. Normally, the DSWD Clearance is enough to let you through, but having that affidavit can be more convincing, if the officer has doubts.

The affidavit I submitted had the following details.

  • Travel dates
  • Destination and origin
  • Minor’s passport number
  • Contact details of parents/legal guardian
  • Signature of the parents

In addition, if the minor is traveling with someone who isn’t his/her parent, it would be wise to include the details of the companion:

  • Name of the companion
  • Relationship of the companion to the minor
  • Companion’s passport number

Don’t forget to have it signed by the parents.

You can find a sample here: SAMPLE AFFIDAVIT OF CONSENT .

HOW TO GET A DSWD CLEARANCE

You must apply at the DSWD Field Office that has jurisdiction over the minor. If the minor lives in Region IV, apply in Alabang. If the minor resides in Metro Manila, apply in Sampaloc, Manila.

They started implementing this policy in January 2018. Prior to this, applicants could apply at any field office, even if the minor doesn’t reside in their region. But that’s not the case anymore. You must apply at the designated DSWD Field Office now.

3. Submit the requirements at the DSWD Field Office and wait for your clearance.

Here’s the step-by-step process that you will go through once you are at the DSWD office. The process below details my experience applying at the Alabang office, but according to the DSWD website, the process at all branches are almost the same.

  • Tell the Security Guard that you’re there for Travel Clearance. Ask for a Sequence Number.
  • Register in the logbook while waiting for your number to be called.
  • When your number is called, submit all the requirements to the Social Worker for the initial screening. He/she will check if the requirements are complete and authentic.
  • If all your documents are okay, the Social Worker will interview you and assess the application. He/she will ask a few questions about your relationship with the minor, the purpose of the trip, and why the parents can’t be with the minor, among others.
  • If the Social Worker is satisfied, your application will now be processed and the clearance will be prepared.
  • Pay processing fee: – P300 for travel clearance with validity of 1 year – P600 for travel clearance with validity of 2 years
  • Return at the time of release. Ask any of the processing staff what time you can expect the clearance to be issued. At the Alabang office, it works this way:

Schedule of assessment and issuance of DSWD Travel Clearance

Don’t forget to check the clearance card before you leave the DSWD Office. Make sure the validity of the clearance and the name spellings are correct.

Reminder : After assessment, DSWD may require additional documents aside from those listed above, so make sure you apply early and NOT too close to the travel dates so you have time to secure them.

DSWD CLEARANCE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is it possible to apply for a dswd clearance online.

Yes. DSWD has recently launched its e-services website, which allows application for a DSWD Travel Clearance online. However, as of this writing, it is only available at Field Offices NCR, VII and XI. Also, a personal interview will still be required so you will have to appear at their office at some point.

The online service hasn’t rolled out in our region (Region IV), so I haven’t tried this yet.

More info here .

When should I apply for a DSWD Clearance?

If you think you have complete requirements, best practice is at least a month before the travel dates. This way, you would still have enough time to resend documents that you forget or to fix anything that goes wrong.

How long does it take to get a DSWD Clearance?

In most cases, one day . If you have all the requirements and you come early, you will get it on the same day that you applied. It takes only a few hours.

HOWEVER, if you arrive in the late afternoon (past 3pm), you will have to return the next day. You can still have it processed but you will get the clearance the next working day. At least, that’s how it is at the DSWD Field Office IV-A in Alabang. I applied here because the kids’ address are in Batangas.

Does the minor have to be with me when I apply?

No. Just make sure you have all the requirements.

I have applied 3 times now and the minors were never with me.

Should the parent be the one to apply?

No. Although it would be best that the person who would apply knows the minor and the details of the trip really well and can spot any clerical error in the clearance. (Happened to me twice.)

I found an error in the Travel Clearance. What should I do?

Happened to me twice!

Simply tell the social worker or anyone in charge. They can correct it or replace it with a new one immediately.

How much should I pay for the DSWD Clearance?

Processing Fee : P300 for travel clearance with validity of 1 year P600  for travel clearance with validity of 2 years

I’m applying for a DSWD Clearance, a visa and a passport for the child. What should I work on first?

The DSWD Clearance first. You can’t apply for a passport for a minor without the DSWD Clearance.

Then work on the passport because you can’t apply for a visa without the passport.

In summary: DSWD Clearance, then Passport, then Visa.

Do you have a sample Affidavit of Consent?

Yes, you can find a sample Affidavit of Consent to Travel here: Sample Affidavit of Consent .

Where can I find more info about DSWD Travel Clearance?

Although we try to try to update this post regularly, it would still be best to visit the DSWD website or call their office to make sure that there are no changes to this list of requirements.

You may visit the official DSWD website, call the numbers indicated on the list of offices above, or tweet @DSWDserves .

hi your info about dswd clearance is very helpful indeed. I wonder if the written consent must authenticated by the philippine consulate here in dubai, or a plain letter will do??

Joseph

Very helpful. Thank you very much!

Irene Porta Ü

What if yung minor lang yung nagaasikaso? Pwede bang siya na lang yung pumunta ng office alone?

Mary Ann

thanks for the info…how about if both parents are working abroad, is a written consent is acceptable or do i need to get a affidavit of consent from the Philippine consulate where we are currently working??

thanks for the info…how about if both parents are working abroad, is a written consent is acceptable or do i need to get an affidavit of consent from the Philippine consulate where we are currently working??

Been there, done that ...

A simple written consent will not do. The affidavit of consent to travel for that matter needs to be authenticated with the designated PCG or embassy where you both are working. :-)

joy

frances

hi there.. thanks for the detailed info.. but what if po the father is currently in dubai and the mom is in canada.. do i need to secure consents from both? or pwed na from the father lang? should it be authenticated?

Angela

How about if one of the parents just suddenly dissappeared and the child is now with only one parent? What would the written consent be like?

Hanz

tnx, what if father is Foreigner and kids are Filipino and they are travelling together and mother can’t come with kids, do we have to secure the permit?

Lyka

Hello does 18 years old still need DSWD Travel Clearance? I’m pretty confused, Other says 18 years old and below, while the other one says 18 years old below.

Makabayang Pinoy

When other than the parent applies for the travel clearance, the DSWD WILL ASK FOR AN AUTHORIZATION LETTER. Some might think it is basic, but we learned it the hard way. Hassle.

faye guillena

thank you. this is really helpful.

angel lou

nana

Reena Saur Reena

Will the immigration still ask for an affidavit of consent from parents? Or only dswd clearance? Because the dswd will ask for an affidavit of consent when issuing the travel clearance, and we only have one copy.

lannie mangosing

Camille Maureen

Hi! I would like to clarify the following: a. Is the affidavit required by the DSWD the same as the sample consent you wrote here?; and b. Isn’t there an official form of affidavit needed to be filled up? Thank you in advance!

Crazy=Genius

Hi! Thank you for this post. it is informative. however, it is still unclear for my situation.

I have a son who is 2y.o.. me and his dad was never married.. he abandoned us while I was still pregnant.. he never acknowledged my son as his son..

how can I still get to apply for travel clearance as well as the passport? Thank you in advance!!!

Bea Gap

Hi, No need for travel clearance if minor is traveling with his/her mother.;) I

This was very helpful for me! Thank you so much!

I just want to add some info as I have applied for a travel clearance for my 2 niece *Illegitimate*.

Please don’t forget to have a clear copy of the mother/father’s valid ID with signature *this was not clearly stated on the requirements on their website!, good thing is that I have a copy with me*

On our case,we will be visiting the mother of my nieces who’s working abroad that’s why I was also asked to provide a copy of my sister’s resident ID, which I didn’t have but was sent to me after an hour and luckily I have still acquired the travel clearance on the same day.

Roselyn

Hi may tanong lang po ako if kailangan pa ng travel clearance or consent letter of the father if magtatravel po siya kasama ako ung nanay lang ? Nakaapelyedo kase sa tatay pero matagal na kaming walang contact at d po kami kasal.. Pasagot naman po need ko lang..tnx.

Luca

Hi, I’m Italian and my girlfriend is Filipina. we are not married but my baby has double nationality and I’v acknowledged the paternity in front of a public official and so he carries my surname. maybe its better to have 2 passports(italian and Filipino) for the baby? we should travel from the Philippines to Italy all together in the future. Do I need a DSWD clearance?

John Paul Zosa

If you’ll be traveling alone with your baby without the mother, yes a DSWD travel clearance is needed. However, if your baby will be traveling with the mother, there is no need for travel clearance.

Regarding passports – by the default, the baby will acquire a Filipino citizenship hence a Philippine passport will be provided. But im not entirely sure about Italian rules regarding off-springs if the child is born to an Italian father, if they’ll automatically acquire the citizenship of the father as there are other nationality who does apply that rule.

But it guess you really dont need this answer now as you posted your inquiry back in 2017 and its now 2019 hahaha

Yosh Dimen

Hi Melissa, naku, we don’t know po. It would be best to call DSWD to be absolutely sure.

Mcoy

Hi! The DSWD site tells that you may apply at any DSWD Field office. Can you clarify on this? We are also from Batangas. But, I work in Manila. I am very close to the NCR office. I was planning to apply in NCR then I read your article saying I need to still go to far away Alabang to apply. Thanks!

Hi Mcoy! We called a DSWD regional office and asked them about this scenario and they said that while they encourage people to apply at their respective regional office, they can actually apply at ANY office. They will still process it. :)

Ara

Hi Ara, been traveling with kids every year for 6 years now and they only ask us for the DSWD Clearance. :)

Chris

Hi, I just wanna know since the permit has specific location and purpose of travel, and we will use it multiple times like different country, wala na magiging problema sa immigration?

Joseph

It would be my son’s first travel abroad without me and my wife. He will travel with my sister. My son is only 3 yrs old. Can you confirm if we only need to get DSWD clearance? Can’t seem to find any information from DFA website. Thanks!

Hi Joseph! I can only speak based on experience, and over the past 6 years that I’m taking my nephew and niece abroad (sometimes as tourists, sometimes to visit parents), they only ask for the DSWD clearance. Not sure if they ask for more in other circumstances.

Sana maka tulong sa inyo at di magahol sa oras, sa case ko po huwebes po ako nag apply sa martes na po ang alis, kung di ko po nakuha ang mga documents ng maaga malamang naiwan na kme ng biyahe, nakuha ko naman po kinabukasan yung clearance. Salamat po.

Thanks for sharing, Banjo! Because of your update, we’re also updating the post to highlight that there may require additional documents. Thank you!

rhea sakamoto

kailangan po ba exact travel date ilagay sa parental consent..”? kc una po iapply sna yung travel clearance kesa savisa

Ang alam ko po ay oo, pero di ko po sure.

Th Kuh

Pwede bang kunan ng passport yong minor kahit wala pang date kung kailan mag travel abroad? Required ba talagang kunan ng DSWD clearance kahit wala pang date?

Hindi ko po sure. Best to contact na lang po the DSWD office nearest you to be sure sure. Yung numbers po, nasa taas.

Damien B

Kung magtravel ako abroad alone with my son, but my wife is living in another country other than the country we are travelling to, do I need to get a travel clearance?

As far as I know, no need because you’re his dad. No need if the kid is traveling with either parent.

pux

How sure po na may consent ang mother ni minor kung xa at kanyang father lang ang nagbiyahe? Is the minor not at risk if he travels po with either parent without travel clearance?

Ang alam ko, if the parents are married and the child is legitimate, no need for a travel clearance if traveling with either parent. That’s what’s on their website and that’s what they told me when I asked.

If illegitimate yung child and traveling with father, dun kailangan ng travel clearance. Best to call the field office to be sure.

Aren

Nakakalito po. Kasi may nakita naman po ako about Permit to Travel (which is different from Travel Clearance). This Permit to Travel is required if only one parent of a legitimate child will accompany the minor to travel abroad. So if ang mother and kasama, kailangan ng notarized permit to travel from the father, and vice versa. Again, this is for LEGITIMATE CHILD/REN only. Nakakalito. Better to call DSWD talaga.

Gary

if you do not need travel clearance any additional documents, or do not need to go to Dswd

No need for DSWD Clearance or additional docs basta kasama parents.

Jecca

Hi, can I ask the full details on how and where can I get the Affidavit of Support and Consent?

Hi Jecca, we got mine from our lawyer. But you can also get it from here and have it notarized: https://www.thepoortraveler.net/2018/03/affidavit-of-consent-and-support/

Je

Hi! What if the child is illegitimate? The Father is single and the mother is married. Can you just get one CENOMAR or we also need the Marriage contract of the mother? Thanks!

Same question. Is there anyone who can answer for us, please. Thank you.

Call DSWD Field Office na may sakop sa area nyo. The numbers are in the post.

Leen

Hi, ask ko lng po….kapag po ba nagtravel abroad(tourist) mother kasama ang anak na 6yrs old, ano po ung mga requirement(addditional requirement for minor)..

Rosalyn Reyes

Hi good evening ☺ ask ko lang po kung kailangan pa po ng dswd pabalik ng pinas? Hindi na po kasi ako ang kasabay nya pabalik ng pinas tnx

Hi Rosalyn, sa experience namin, di naman na kami hiningan nung pabalik.

spinner

Pano po kayo nakakuha nung Invitation Letter?

Ask the inviting party to write a letter or write it yourself tapos pa-pirmahan sa nag-invite.

magkaiba pa po ba yung Affidavit Of Consent And Support sa Written Consent and pano po yun sa written Consent, tatay ko lang po yung nandito ang yung mother ko po nasa ibang bansa.

If may Affidavit of Consent & Support ka na, di mo na kailangan ng isa pang written consent.

Mercy

My husband and me will be travelling to USA this June 2018 to accompany our 14 yr old granddaughter who is a US citizen and a holder of US visa. What documents do we need to prepare? Do we still need parental consent from the father based in USA and from the mother based here in the Philippines.

ja jo

They’re going to give you a letter of exemption instead of the usual travel clearance which is free!

Hi Mercy. I don’t know the rules for US citizens, but I don’t think the DSWD Clearance rule applies to them. One of my nephews has recently been granted a Japan dependent visa and he’s now exempted from securing a DSWD Clearance because of it. Something similar might apply to you. It’s best to contact DSWD to be sure.

Riane

Hello there, your article is accurate and very helpful. Pero tanong ko lang po if I can apply my own DSWD Clearance and I am not accompanied by either of my parents, since OFW ang mother ko and walang time ang father ko. I am already 17 years old and I am going to travel alone this december 2018. :)

JC

What if my brother is in abroad, separated with his wife. Wife is here in the Philippines but not capable financially. Can i file this earlier while he is here?

Yes, you can apply early. The clearance is valid for 1 year or 2 years.

Nelson Loyola

My daughter was issued a travel clearance for her to join a study tour in China this April and May 2018. The travel clearance is valid for 1 year. Can I use this same clearance for her to travel to Thailand with my secretary this June 2018? Our arrival from a trip to New Zealand will overlap with our departure for Bangkok, so my wife and I have decided to get another flight in the afternoon via another airline and meet up with our daughter in the hotel in Bangkok.

Edlaine Ann Mercado

Hi! I’m planning to travel with my 14 year old nephew to Tokyo later this year or early next year. The thing is, he is a holder of two citizenships: USA and Philippines. We plan to have him use his USA passport to get him through Philippine and Japanese immigration since they don’t require US citizens a Japan Visa to enter Japan. It’s less paperwork for us too. My concern is I am a Philippine passport holder and I will be the one accompanying him to Tokyo. How will we be able to go through PH immigration? Do we need a DSWD Travel Clearance? One of the requirements for the travel clearance is a birth certificate. Do we need to show his US birth certificate since he was born there? I’m sorry for the questions, I just haven’t found anything online regarding this. Thanks in advance!

Hi Edlaine, it’s a pretty specific/unusual case. It’s best to just call the DSWD or Bureau of Immigration to be completely sure.

Von Banaga

Hi, nabasa ko po sa taas na dswd clearance po yung hinahanap dito sa pinas na immigration. ask ko lang po na how about in Japan? Meron po ba hinanap yung japan immigration na affidavit or dswd clearance? Thank you po.

Hi Von, in my experience, wala silang hinahanap sa Japan.

Yukio Okumura

Hello there! I have read your article recently. I have question po. Once available na po ang mga supporting documents (Passport, Affidavit of support and Consent, DSWD Clearance, ITR, etc) technically, pwede na sya pumasa sa immigration, right? Do you have any ideas po regarding to the possible questions Immigration officer will ask to the Minor Traveller?

Hoping for your response and thank you! :)

Hi Yukio. Yep, basta complete na, pwede na lumagpas sa immigration.

Yung questions sa minors, usually, sino kasama? Anong gagawin dun? Kailan balik?

Yun lang yung sa experience ko.

Perillo Monica

pwede po ba kahit hindi kau mag ka maganak??

April

Hi. Just want to ask if there are any requirements for domestic travel? My daughter will be having a vacation at cebu with my mother. Hindi ako kasama o yung papa nya kc may work. Need po ba ng travel clearance or anything? Thanks

Ehm

Hi. Ask ko lang, paano po kung nanay ko wala pang passport, sabay na kasi sila kukuha ng passport ng baby ko. Need pa ba muna hintayin marelease ang passport bago mag apply ng travel clearance? Thank you in advance.

Hmmm. Part of the requirements is the companion’s passport copy. But for minors, the DSWD clearance is required to apply for a passport. Ideally, dapat mauna ang companion na magka-passport. And then tsaka yung minor. At least, sa surface, that’s how it’s supposed to go.

But i’m not sure if the DSWD office can make an exception or kung gaano sila kalenient. Best to call yung DSWD Office kung saan ka mag-apply kung okay lang na walang passport copy yung companion.

Chelsea

Hi, hope you can help me. My niece (a minor) will be travelling with us abroad, and she haven’t applied yet for a passport. Sa DFA application form, may field doon na “TRAVELLING COMPANION’S NAME,” pwede ba na ‘yong father ng niece ko ang ilagay muna doon or should it be my name since ako ang kasama niya pag-travel abroad? We’re thinking kasi na passport ‘to and once lang naman siya sasama with me and might travel soon with her own father and mother. So ok lang ba na father’s name ang nasa TRAVELLING COMPANION’s NAME? Thanks in advance!

Cheene Abacan

hi, im from batangas po, and punta po kami ng nephew ko sa dubai sa december, pupuntahan po namin ang mama nya, na kapatid ko naman, tapos andto ung papa nya sa pinas, tanong ko lng po kung paano po ung consent ng mama nya and signature, need po ba ipa courrier? thank you po.

Hi Cheene, ‘yung sa amin pina-courier ko yung docs na may signature ng sister ko.

Sir, ano papo ung need from his mom bukod sa consent?

Pa-check na lang po sa taas yung list of requirements.

Perillo Monica

hi.. can a minor travel together even though they are not relatives??

Hi Perillo, ang alam ko pwede basta may Affidavit of Consent. Pero tawag ka pa rin sa DSWD to be sure.

Julie

Hello po, i’ve been to singapore many times na po and this coming november which is sembreak kasama ko na po kapatid ko na 22 yes old, future inlaw ko na 25yrs old and minor ko po na kapatid na 11 years old. 4 lang po kami na pupunta ng singapore just to visit my fiance. Nakakuha narin po ako ng travel clearance sa minor kung kapatid, affidavit of consent. Invitation letter from my fiance. Additional Documents po namin is RT tickets, Hotel accomodation, USS tickets, Vacay leave ng kapatid at future inlaw ko company id’s nila, certificates of employment nila and pocket money po. 5days po travel namin 3days sa sg and 1 day sa KL. Any suggestions pa po or may chance po ba kami maoffload? Please reply po. Thank you

Lahat naman ay may chance na ma-offload. Di naman mawawala yung chance. But it looks like you’ve done the preps that you can do, so just be confident lang with your answers.

MT

Hi. Im travelling to HK with my nephew. In your experience, do they still ask for the affidavit of consent sa immigration both in Manila and Hongkong? Or do they only look for the DSWD clearance? We ended up booking a hotel thats different from the one in the affidavit kasi. Thanks!

Hi MT. I always carry an affidavit of consent with me when passing through Immigration. However, I had never been asked for it by any officer. They would just ask for a DSWD Clearance.

MT

Thank you! The airline ended up rebooking our flight for some reason. So now, the dates have changed too. Im thinking if I need a new travel clearance or just a fresh affidavit with the new info. I’ll call DSWD to confirm. Thank you!

Hi MT. Yep, best to call them. Hope you could share with us din what they will say so we can add to this post and help others. Thank you! :)

Hi. I called DSWD, they said I dont need a new clearance as long as the new dates are within the validity period of the clearance issued.

If the companion or country is changing, thats when we need a new clearance.

Hope this helps. Thank you! :)

Jessica

Hello, Pwede pu ba ipascan ung affidavit of consent na may red ribbon para maprint sa Pinas to bring sa DSWD office?

Di ko po alam. Call na lang po the field office kung saan kayo mag-aapply.

Ann Garcia

Ask ko lang po kung parehas lang ba yung DSWD Clearance na kailangan sa pagkuha ng passport for minor at yung DSWD travel clearance? Medyo na confused po ako. Kasi need ko ikuha ng passport yung pamangkin ko na 9 yrs. old at yung brother ko na 17 yrs. old nakita ko na kailangan sa DFA ng DSWD clearance, pareho lang din po ba yung

Maraming Salamat!

Hi Ann, yep pareho lang. Yung tawag talaga dun ay DSWD Travel Clearance, pero most people refer to it as simply DSWD Clearance. Pero it’s the same thing. :)

Rai

Hi, this is very informative. I just want to know if my children still need to secure a travel clearance if they’re coming back to Manila. I will be with them on their flight MNL-SIN (so I think they don’t need a travel clearance anymore)but I don’t know if my flight will be the same going back to MNL? I have my cousin who will be with them when they go back to MNL…. Do I still need to secure a travel clearance for them? Thank u.

Hi Rai, based on my experience, PH immigration didn’t check for DSWD clearance for returning residents. Japan and HK Immigration didn’t either.

I’m not sure about SG Immigration, but I don’t think they would check. I think it’s only when passing through PH Immigration when exiting the country. So I think you should be fine.

Jhay Cruz

Can my wife do all the application and procedure to let our daughter travel alone to visit me here abroad? Is the unaccompanied minor certificate really necessary as a requirement to apply for the travel clearance. based on PAL’s website https://www.philippineairlines.com/en/ph/Home/TravelInformation/BeforeYouFly/SpecialHandling/UnaccompaniedMinor ,and to their staff I spoke with, only 8-11 years old are eligible for UM certificate, my daughter’s 13yrs old so she’ll not be given. DSWD insisted that they require one. Any suggestions or Idea?

Hi Jhay, oh, I don’t know for sure because I haven’t tried applying for a clearance for an unaccompanied minor. But you can try to post this on our Support Group. Maybe some of our members have had similar experience and can help: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thepoortraveler/

Travelling Minor: Case Situation: Father and mother UNMARRIED (but paternal acceptance appears on the minor’s BC) Father UNMARRIED AND Mother is married. Father is an OFW while Mother is in Pinas with own family.

Travelling Companion: Uncle (brother of minor’s Father) Uncle does the processing as authorized by the minor’s Father and Mother Minor is studying. Mother waives her responsibility to the processing of needed docs.

IS PERSONAL APPEARANCE (OF MINOR AND COMPANION) STILL REQUIRED TO GET DSWD CLEARANCE?

Hi Pax, best to call DSWD pag ganitong specific case.

Nico Arellano

HI, just want to ask paano ang case kapag ang bata na kasama ko magtravel ay nawala nalang bigla ang kanyang Father, and ang mother nya ay nasa ibang bansa (tho i have a contact sa kanya). Paano po yung COnsent letter?

Hi Nico, pag ganyan pong specific na case, di ko na po alam. Best to contact na lang po the DSWD Field Office kung saan kayo mag-aapply para sigurado.

CHANTAL B RIVERA

Hi, ask ko lang po kasi yung ate ko nasa UAE po, then my plan po kami ng cousin ko mgtravel sa Malaysia kasama ung nephew ko (son ng ate ko, gift nya sa anak nya) , actually nka book n kami ng flight, kya need ko daw travel clearance from DSWD for my nephew, ano po kya need ng ate ko na letter para proof daw na in-authorized nya ako kumuha ng travel clearance for my nephew?

thanks in advance.

Hi Chantal,

since ikaw din yung kasama nya mag-travel, need mo ng Affidavit of Support. Notarized if pwede. Since nasa abroad sya, I think may kelangan syang gawin sa embassy. Di ko lang alam ang details nun. Tapos gawa na rin sya ng Authorization letter allowing you to apply for her son.

Di ko lang ganun kakabisado yung details pag ganyan, so best to call the DSWD Field Office kung saan ka mag-aapply.

jeca

I would like to clarify if need ba ng visa ng minor and the companions bago mag apply ng dswd clearance?

Hi Jeca, may existing passport na ba ung minor or wala pa?

Joanne

Hi! I’d like to ask if I’m applying for an illegitimate child, would there be a need for the consent of the father? Or the Certificate of Non-Marriage will suffice? Thank you!

Hi Joanne, sa website nila last time I checked, parang wala naman sa list ung consent ng father kahit illegitimate. Tawag ka na lang sa DSWD field office to be sure.

mang kiko

Mabuhay kayo!!buti nalang may mga ganitong tao na gumagawa ng mga ganitong post.salamat ng marami,marami talaga kayong natutulungan.

Salamat din po sa pagbisita, Mang Kiko!

jen

hi. just want to inquire. May travel clearance na yung anak ko issued last year kasi need for passport renewal and wala ako sa pinas, so the travel clearance stated an adult accompanying which is my cousin (for passport renewal purposes). This year I’m planning na magbakasyon ang anak ko dito sa uae but without an adult. Do i still have to get a new travel clearance for unaccompanied minor travelling alone.? Do i have to give the requirements of cenomar etc. again?thanks in advance

Hi Jen, I’m not sure. Best to just contact the DSWD Field Office that covers your area to be sure. You’ll find the phone numbers in the post above.

Janette

Hi! Just want to ask. I am travelling with my pamangkin also. Pano po kung may existing passport na yung minor and nun kumuha ng passport sya yung requirements na pinasa is under the category travel with parents. Kailangan ba baguhin ulit yung passport kasi not travelling with parents na ngaun? Thanks in advance

ANg alam ko po, di kailangan na baguhin ung passport kung di naman pa pa-expire. Pero itawag nyo na lang sa DSWD Field Office para sure.

Hindi pa nman po expired kakakuha lang last year. Pero po yung pamangkin nyo nun may passport na sila nun? Or wala pa tapos kumuha muna na kayo travel clearance bago passport? Thanks po.

Nung first time na nag-apply kami, DWSD Clearance muna bago passport.

Tapos nung 2nd time, since may passport na, clearance na agad. We didn’t have to get a new or renew the passport.

Pamela Grace H. Arquero

Hi! The DSWD told me to get certifcate from the airline, how can i get one?

Hi Pamela, it’s for a minor traveling alone, right? Contact the airline where you booked the ticket.

moto

Hi. Just wanted to know regarding this requirement ( A photocopy of the minor’s birth certificate (SECPA). what does it mean ? kelangan nasa security paper or ok lng na photocopy lng. sobrang hassle kc if ibbigay mo pa yun original bc galing sa PSA

Hi Moto, photocopy of the birth certificate is okay, but as far as I know, it should be a photocopy of a PSA-issued birth cert.

I submitted only the photocopy of a secpa PSA copy the last time I applied.

hi. regarding this requirement ( – If minor is illegitimate: a Certificate of No Marriage from the local civil registrar)

possible ba na sa local civil registrar na lng kumuha ? sobrang kc expensive ng cenomar if you will request it online and have it deleivered to you eh

Need nila ng PSA issued CENOMAR.

I am not familiar with the process for illegitimate minor. Best to call the DSWD Field Office that will process your application before your visit to be sure.

hi. Im applying for a passport para sa pamangkin ko. I notice na kelangan ng affidavit of support and consent dun as one of requirements. Ask ko lng na need ba ibigay yun original copy kc need ko din yun consent na yun sa pagaaply for passport para sa knya, or ok lng na photocopy na lng the pakita na lng yun oroginal. Thank you

Hi moto, yung experience ko sa Alabang office pag nag-apply ako, pinakapakita ko ung original, tapos ina-ask nila ako kung pede nilang ikeep yun. Once sabi ko, gagamitin ko pa (for Immigration), humingi na lang sila photocopy. Di ko alam kung ganun talaga ang protocol sa lahat ng offices or nagkataon lang.

Gabrielle

Hi! How to get certification from the airlines?

Contact the airline po.

Michelle Arriola

Hi, thank you for this very helpful and informative post. I appreciate your kindness for sharing this. By the way, if I will apply at DSWD Alabang and targetting the 8am to 10am slot, what time should I be in their office? Should I be there very early, around 6am or earlier? Is there a long queue?

Hi Michelle, in my experience, konti lang ang tao kapag before 9am. It opens at 8.

Last time I applied, I arrived at 8:30-ish, I was fourth in line. :)

Thank you very much :) God bless you!

Norma

I will be travelling with my niece international would you know if it’s necessary to secure both signatures of mother and father? Do you think it’s alright for me to secure just the mother’s since the parents are not in good terms?

Hi Norma, di ko po alam. Pag nagsasubmit po kasi ako laging may pirma ng both parents. Di ko natanong if okay lang na isa lang. :(

Melai

I am travelling to South Korea from Dubai this month and my 3 daughters are travelling from Manila. We are just meeting at INC airport. My eldest is 19 years while other 2 are still minor, 15 and 13 years. Can my eldest be considered as their legal guardian? My other 2 daughters still need to obtain the travel clearance?

If yes, is the affidavit of support and consent can be done and notarized here in Dubai? Kailangan ba na original ang documents from me para maissuehan sila ng travel clearance. Please respond, thank you.

Hi Melai, your other 2 daughters still need to obtain a travel clearance, unless your eldest is the legal guardian, meaning your eldest has the documents (e.g. certificate) proving guardianship.

As far as I know, if the Affidavit of Consent and Support is executed abroad, it has to be accredited at the embassy where they will affix a gold seal and red ribbon to it.

Jazel Dorlones

Hello po, ask ko lang po sana if may idea po kayo if need pa kumuha ng DSWD clearance let say po kasabay ko naman anak ko papunta ng SG, bale susunduin ko siya kasama pamilya ko, then pag-uwi sina Mama na lang kasama niya hindi ko na hatid ng pinas. Or if ano po experience nyo sa check in from other country nung pauwi na, hinahanap pa ba nila ung clearance ng DSWD? Salamat po.

Hi Jazel, if kasabay po kayo pa-exit, no need na for DSWD Clearance.

Pag pabalik na, sa experience ko pag nagtatravel with my pamangkins tapos walang kasamang parents, di naman chinecheck ung DSWD clearance. Di ko alam if ganun din with others pero un ang experience ko.

CJ

What if it is an aunt traveling with her two nieces just within the Philippines? Flight from Cebu to Clark? Still need clearance? Thanks!

Hi CJ, no po. Pag abroad lang po yung clearance.

ann

ask q lng po if need q pa po ba ng dswd for my 2kids single parent aq ung bunso q po is 5 nka appelyido skin ung panganay q is 12 sa father nmn nya nka appelyido.. flight namin tatlo sa Friday going to singapore do i still need the permit to travel nd affidavit?

If kasama kayo magtravel, no need.

Kheiz

Hi ask ko lang if traveling to domestic needed din po b kumuha ng clearance if yung grandparents and auntie lang ang kasama? My baby is 1 yr.old

Di po needed ang DSWD Clearance pag domestic pero di ko rin alam if ano ung requirement pag domestic.

Ian

Hello po ask lang po ako if need pa po ba ng dswd para sa anak ko 12 years old po sya. bale ako po ang magdadala nya dito pa UAE. Ang sakin lang di kasi kami nagkatuluyan ng mama niya. Kailangan pa po ba ng Authorization sa mama niya or DSWD Clearance?

Ang alam ko po, di kailangan pag may kasamang kahit sinong parent. Pero tawag na rin po kayo sa DSWD to be sure.

Mark

Need po ba ilagay yung hotel name kung saan sila mag stay sa Travel Clearance form??? Kahit wala pang nabook for hotel to stay,, or dapat nakapabook na for hotel accom?

Alena

Good afternoon, ask ko lang what if yung husband ko nasa abroad pwede bang ako lang pumirma ng affidavit of consent para apply ko for dswd clearance?ty

Matt Magnaye

My father po is abroad, eh nakagreencard siya, tapos mommy ko seperated. Meron akong red ribbon ng travel authorization na pinapayagan yung kaibigan ng daddy ko na kasama ko siya magtravel sa states. Kailangan po ba ng travel clearance if ganon? Photocopy ng green card ng father ko ok lang? Sunday kasi tomorrow eh diko alam if bukas yung dswd sa alabang. Okay lang ba magtravel with him kahit walang travel clearance pero merong red ribbon na travel authorization from the philippine embassy itself sa san francisco? tsaka meron ding photocopy ng greencard? Thank you for the helpp. asap

Hi Matt, ang alam ko, if minor ka and PH citizen and hindi mo kasama either parent, need mo ng DSWD Travel Clearance. Di ko sure pero ung naka-red ribbon na yan, pwede mo gamitin to apply for a DSWD Clearance. Di ko alam ang intricacies kapag OFW pero tawag ka na lang sa DSWD Office para sigurado.

Yssai Anas

hi po.. ask ko lang.. dapat po ba kasama ung minor sa office ng dswd? or kahit ako nlng po?

Hi Yssai, sa experience ko po, never ko kasama yung minor pag nag-aapply ako.

Karen

Hi, We have secured the DSWD clearance… Have you encountered any problems when going thru immigration? I am going to singapore with my niece and were going to cross the border to Indonesia…. Is there any additional requirements if were going to cross the border??

Hi Karen, naku, I haven’t tried crossing a border or traveling to a second country with a minor so di ko alam for sure. I think sa PH exit lang concern yun pero di ko sure.

Hi. Solo parent ako (me id kasi expired na from 2015 pa) yung anak ko nasa puder ko, Hindi kasi kami kasal ng nanay nya. Alam ko nakasal na sia last year ata.

Since ako naman yung tatay ng bata, need ko paba kumuha ng travel clearance from DSWD o need ko lang ng AFFIDAVIT OF CONSENT AND SUPPORT from the mother?

Nawa’y mapansin nyo itong message ko. salamat

Hi John, ang alam ko po, di nyo need ng clearance kasi parent nya po kayo. Pero call na lang din po the DSWD Field Office if you want to make sure.

Thanks Yoshke for your reply. Hindi ko napansin na nag reply pala kayo walang notif sa email haha anyhow, regarding don sa tanong ko para narin don sa ibang merong katulad na tanong gaya ng sa akin.

I reached out to DSWD and sabi nila, pag ang bata ay nasa puder ng tatay at hindi kasal sa nanay, need ng tatay na mag present ang court order granting the custody of the child to the father. So dapat nag file ang tatay ng Petition for Custody sa korte. Kasi nasasaad sa Family Code of the Philippines na by default ang custody ng minor illegitimate child ay nasa nanay unless meron ngang document granted by the court regarding the child’s custody. Pag meron nitong document na ito, no need na for DSWD travel clearance

Pero kung walang court order (in my case, hindi naman umabot sa ganon kasi maayos naman pag uusap namin regarding the child’s custody) the father needs to acquire a DSWD travel clearance.

Kaya in my case need ko pala sya para maitravel ko ang anak ko abroad.

Rey Ladores

Hi we applied for Travel Clearance and it was easy because of your guide. I wonder if you could answer my question (i forgot to ask about it when I claim the clearance).. Our destination is South Korea, can I use the same clearance if we will go to Thailand or any other countries? or Do I need to apply for a new to reflect the new destination?

According to a reader, if the companion or the country changes, the clearance has to be renewed. :) I haven’t tried this personally, so call the DSWD field office to be sure na lang. :)

Gina Martin

Gd pm po ask kolang po need papoba ng clearance ng anak kong 14 yrs old going japan with her half sister?

Hi Gina, if your child isn’t Japanese, doesn’t have a resident status, and traveling without a parent, need pa rin ng DSWD clearance.

Alfie

Hi Alfie, yung sa experience ko, di naman need ng hotel booking na. Kung saan mo pa lang plan mag-stay. Yung target hotel pa lang.

Sol Pepito

Thank you so much for this article. it was very helpful. I live in Las Piñas City and I plan to apply in Alabang. My son is traveling with his grandfather, my father-in-law and will be staying at my sister-in-law’s house in SG. Will DSWD require an invitation letter from SG? Do I have to present financial support documents? Thank you so much. Your answers will be greatly appreciated. :)

Hi Sol, pa-double check po sa field office if nag-aaccept sila ng applicants from Las Pinas, kasi last time I was there, yung from Region IV-A lang yung inaallow nila. May sarili yata kasing field office ang NCR, which is in Sampaloc.

Indomie

Ano po requirements kapag may kailangan pong baguhin sa travel clearance na valid parin po. Nakalagay kasi sa travel clearance ko may kasama akong companion pero papalitan po un to travelling alone.

Hi Yosh. Have you tried applying for multiple travel dates and destination in one clearance? For example Japan in Oct, SG-Malaysia in Dec, Taiwan in May. Hk, Macau in Apr. If so, are there any additional documents? Thanks!

Hi MT, not yet. :(

Sher

Hi Yosh. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do but I still got no answers. Here’s my case, my daughter is in the Philippines and is supposed to travel here in Japan on October with her uncle, my younger brother, and i’m puzzled on the requirements because one of the requirements is a CENOMAR but I am married but not to the father of my daughter hence I will not be able to get that requirement. Also, one requirement is a notarized affidavit of consent, how can I make this if I am here in Japan?

Regarding CENOMAR, I honestly have no idea about it.

Regarding Notarized Affidavit of Consent, I think it must be authenticated at the Philippine Embassy in Japan. That’s why my sister who is based in Japan always takes care of these docs when she comes home to visit, kasi mas mahirap pa daw if doon gagawin.

Tawag ka na lang din sa DSWD about CENOMAR problem mo tapos isabay mo na rin itanong ung sa affidavit, para sure talaga.

Carlos delos reyes

Hi po ask ko lang..father ako ng 16yrsold kong anak..di pa kami kasal nung pinanganak xa pero 5yrs later pinakasalan ko na mama nya…kailangan ko pa ba ng travel clearance?tanx

Belle

My daughter will be travelling to the US with her father (my husband) and my mother. Do we have to go through the DSWD clearance process? Or would a simple consent letter from me as mother suffice? My husband and I are working abroad and I will eventually meet up with them in the US.

Another thing, my mother and daughter only have 1 way tickets as I am not yet certain when they would be going home. I also intend to apply for my daughter’s resident status abroad. Will this create a problem when they go through immigration at the airport?

Many thanks in advance for your response.

Elma

Hi, just on the above required docs for 1st time DSWD clearance applicant. So, my niece is an illegitimate child and she’s under her mother’s care. It says below that if the child is illegitimate a CENOMAR is needed? Whose CENOMAR is it? Her mother has been married to another man for a while now and we don’t have any news about the father.

A photocopy of one of the following, whichever is appropriate: – If minor has both parents: the parents’ marriage certificate (SECPA) – If minor is under a legal guardian: the Certificate of Legal Guardianship – If minor is under a solo parent: solo parent identification card or certification from the Municipal DSWD Office; or if Muslim, Tallaq or Fasakh certification from any Muslim Barangay, the Shariah court or a religious leader – If minor is illegitimate: a Certificate of No Marriage from the local civil registrar – If one of the parents is deceased: death certificate – If minor is an immigrant, visa petition approval. – If minor is traveling for medical purposes, medical certificate – If minor is studying abroad, acceptance letter from school abroad – If minor is attending a conference, a certification from the organizers

We have a similar situation to above. Son wants to travel with birth mother to Canada from Philippines. The parents of this child were never married but the boy was under care of father for 12 years while mother was abroad. Boy is 14 years old now. Purpose of travel to Canada is immigration. What docs does the mother need to have on hand when they are ready to leave Philippines?

Hello. Regarding Affidavit of Consent and Support, kahit po ba ikaw ang sumagot sa vacay trip niyo ng mga pamangkin mo e parents padin niya nilagay mo mag sponsor for the trip? Kasi diba hihingi din sila proof of financial capability. Ginaya ko kasi yung sample mo po and I put my name as the one sponsoring since mas madali ako maka secure ng bank statements and ako naman talaga ang gagastos for the trip. Any advise po? Thank you so much!

TRAVEL CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE FROM DSWD

How to get a travel clearance certificate from DSWD for Filipino expats

  • Documents required
  • Application process

Expat children in the UAE often travel to their home country to spend their school vacation with family and relatives. According to the government of the Philippines, if a minor is travelling either alone or with an adult other than a parent, it is important to get a travel clearance certificate from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). Please note that a minor in this case is a Filipino citizen who is 17 years old or younger.

How can Filipino expats obtain a DSWD travel clearance certificate?

Whether a minor is travelling alone or with an adult (who isn’t a parent or legal guardian), a travel clearance from DSWD is necessary. The only exemptions to the DSWD travel clearance rule apply to minor children whose parents work for foreign services and kids with a passport or permanent resident visa of another country.

This law comes under the special protection of children against abuse, exploitation and discrimination act and the Philippine Passport Act of 1996.  Here is all that you need to know about getting a clearance certificate from DSWD.

WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE REQUIRED TO APPLY FOR A CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE FROM DSWD?

To apply for a clearance certificate from DSWD, one must submit the following documents. 

  • The application form can be obtained from any DSWD regional office or the official website. 
  • PSA-issued birth certificate or a copy of the child’s birth certificate. 
  • Notarized affidavit from the legal guardian, parents or single parent. The content should clearly mention the name of the travelling companion, his/her relationship with the minor, the intended length of stay at the destination, the purpose of travel and dates of departure and arrival. 
  • PSA-issued marriage certificate of parents or alternatively, a copy of the certificate of legal guardianship of the child. 
  • Single parents are required to produce a PSA-issued Certificate of No Marriage Record (CENOMAR) as well as a copy of single parent identification card from the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office/Local Social Welfare and Development Office. For specific cases, Tallaq or Faskh certification from Muslim Barangay, Shariah court or a religious leader also works. 
  • In case parents have passed away, a photocopy of the death certificate is required. 
  • The adult who will travel with the child has to provide a copy of their passport. 

WHERE DO I APPLY ?

The application is submitted at the DSWD Field Office which has jurisdiction over the area the minor resides in. An alternative option is to apply online and use the DSWD eServices.

For any queries, you can call at 16545. Typically, if the documents are complete, a certificate is issued within 24 hours. However, it is recommended that you submit the application at least a week in advance to account for any unforeseen delays.

WHAT IS THE DSWD TRAVEL CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE VALIDITY? 

The DSWD travel clearance certificate validity can be a year or two years, depending upon your request. The certificate remains valid for multiple visits, except for minors travelling with foster parents. 

WHAT IS THE DSWD TRAVEL CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE FEE?

DSWD Clearance Certificate fee is as follows:

  • One year: 300 Peso (AED 23)
  • Two years: 600 Peso (AED 45)

CAN I REQUEST CHANGES AFTER THE CERTIFICATE HAS BEEN ISSUED?

Yes, you can request the authority to make changes. Changes related to the travel companion or the destination can be made as long as the certificate is valid. For this, you would need to submit a copy of the minor’s passport, notarized affidavit from a legal guardian or parent confirming the change in plans. If the child is travelling to a new destination, you can also submit a return ticket. No additional fee applies to this request.

The process of obtaining a DSWD travel clearance certificate has been streamlined in the recent past. If you submit the documents and follow all the requirements, you can get a certificate pretty quickly. Often children visit the UAE from the Philippines with family members or grandparents. This exercise of acquiring the certificate can help reduce criminal activity and keep children safe.

If you’re looking to settle in the UAE with family, check out our detailed moving to Dubai from the Philippines guide to prepare for this change. It is always better to do some research before moving to a new destination. You can start by looking at the top areas to live in Dubai for Filipino expats .

Another important consideration is applying for OEC . Filipino nationals who want to get married in the UAE, have to apply for Cenomar . Renewing Philippines passport in the UAE is another official procedure you might have to go through during your time here.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. what is a minor according to the law.

The term minor , also referred to as “Child,” is defined in RA 7610 as a person under 18 years old or one who is over 18 years old but is unable to protect himself or herself from abuse, neglect, discrimination, or exploitation due to a mental or physical disability.

2. Are the following minors exempted from securing a travel clearance?

  • A minor with permanent residency card
  • A minor who holds a valid pass such as dependents visa/pass/identification or permanent resident visa/pass/identification card is no longer required to secure travel clearance from DSWD. A permanent residency card is a valid pass and a holder of such is exempted from securing a travel clearance.
  • A minor born abroad but has no permanent residency card

Depending on the minor’s citizenship and residency, they may not need a travel clearance. For instance, minors who are not Filipino citizens but have a foreign passport may not need one. However, those who are living abroad and do not have a permanent resident card may need one.

3. Who would give consent for the travel of a totally orphaned minor who has no appointed legal guardian?

Grandparents who have the authority to give consent to a minor child whose parents are deceased may do so even without a court order. However, in cases where both the parents are dead, the legal guardians should be the relatives or acting guardians of the child.

4. What about those children whose parents have marital conflict and are on hold order?

Unless a court order is issued to allow a child to travel with either of his or her parents, a travel clearance will not be granted. The child’s name will be added to the Bureau of Immigration’s watch list if the family fails to provide the necessary information. The agency is also responsible for ensuring that the child does not leave the country.

5. Can a travel clearance be issued to illegitimate children who are still applying for their visas in the embassy?

Children of illegitimate parents are under the custody of their mother. If they are going to be traveling with their mother, they do not need to secure a clearance from the DSWD. On the other hand, if they are going with someone other than their mother, they need to secure a clearance.

6. Is a faxed copy of the parental consent of parents residing abroad acceptable?

Sending a copy via fax is acceptable, as long as it is accompanied by a photo of minors. Also, email documents and a computer generated image of children are allowed.

7. What are the requirements for illegitimate children abandoned by the mother and under the custody of the father or other relatives who will be traveling alone or with the father or other relatives?

The father would need to secure a court order granting him the authority to raise his illegitimate children. If the mother has the absolute authority over her children, then the father would not be required to provide a travel clearance for the minor. However, if the minor travels with the father, or with someone else, he or she would need to secure a clearance.

8. Is a married minor required to secure a travel clearance?

Regardless of one’s civil status, a minor must get a travel clearance if they go on a solo or group trip without their parent. 

Aside from providing social services to the poor and needy, the DSWD is also responsible in ensuring that children in the Philippines are protected from abuse and exploitation. For this reason, parents need to ensure that their children are safe and secure when traveling abroad. If you want to send your child overseas alone, you must apply for a DSWD travel clearance first.

We hope that this guide has helped you better understand the application process for a DSWD travel clearance for minors traveling abroad, which is fairly simple and quick.

how to apply travel clearance for minors from dswd

There are many benefits that come with having a DSWD travel clearance for minors.

  • One of the most important benefits of having a DSWD travel clearance is that it helps protect minors from being subjected to human trafficking or abuse. The clearance serves as a way to document that the child traveler is not traveling alone and that there is an adult accompanying them who is responsible for their safety.
  • A travel clearance from DSWD ensures the safety of the child during travel.
  • The Department of Social Welfare and Development is responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of every Filipino child. Part of their mandate is to make sure that minors who are traveling outside the country are accompanied by a responsible adult.
  • Another benefit of the DSWD travel clearance is that it can be used to prove the identity of the child traveler. The clearance contains information such as the name, date of birth, and place of birth of the child. This information can be used to get a passport or other government-issued ID.
  • Lastly, the DSWD travel clearance shows that the parents or guardians of the child have given their consent for the child to travel. This is important because in some cases, one parent may not have full custody over a child, so they may not be able to provide consent for them to travel alone. The DSWD travel clearance can help ensure that both parents are on board with the child’s travel plans.
  • A properly completed DSWD Application Form, available for download on the DSWD website.
  • A photocopy of the minor’s birth certificate or passport
  • Written permission from either parents, a single parent, or a legal guardian allows the youngster to go abroad alone or with someone else.
  • A copy of your traveling companion’s passport (if the child is traveling accompanied).
  • A photocopy of the minor’s parent’s marriage certificate
  • A copy of the minor’s legal guardianship certificate for legal guardians
  • Photocopy of the solo parent identification card from the municipal social welfare and development office,
  • Talaq or fasakh certification from a shariah court or any Muslim barangay or religious leader,
  • Or a photocopy of the minor’s parents’ marriage certificate for single parents.

Additional Requirements:

  • If a minor is going abroad to study, he/she must need the certificate of acceptance and enrollment form issued by that particular school.
  • Those minors who are going out of the country for medical treatment, need a recommendation letter from the doctor clearly mentioning that such treatment is not available within the country. And also a letter of the sponsor.
  • Certificate from the sponsor organization
  • Undertaking from the organization
  • Invitation duly signed by the host organization and time duration of the event

dswd travel clearance procedure requirements abroad

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some frequently asked questions regarding DSWD travel clearance for minors.

A DSWD travel clearance is a document that is issued by the Department of Social Welfare and Development. It allows minors to travel abroad for leisure, business, or educational purposes.

DSWD travel clearance is valid for one to two years, depending on what is indicated on the document.

The fee for a DSWD travel clearance is 300 pesos for one year or 600 pesos for two years.

DSWD travel clearance can be obtained from any DSWD Field Office.

Requirements for a DSWD travel clearance include a birth certificate, passport, and school ID (for students). Additional requirements may be necessary, depending on the purpose of travel.

DSWD travel clearance can be applied for online or in person at a DSWD Field Office.

Children under the age of 15 who are traveling to the Philippines alone or who are not visiting a parent there may be denied entry. This is because the government feels that these children are at risk of being exploited or trafficked. As a result, it is essential that any child traveling to the Philippines have all the necessary documentation in order to be allowed into the country. This includes a letter from the child’s parents or guardian indicating their permission for the child to travel to the Philippines.

In the Philippines, children under the age of 18 are considered minors. As such, they are not legally allowed to travel without parental or guardian consent.

There are some ways around this, however. If a minor has a valid reason for traveling without parents or guardians (such as attending a school trip), they may be able to get permission from the Department of Social Welfare and Development. In addition, if the minor is traveling with an adult relative or family friend, they may also be able to get consent from their parents or guardians. Ultimately, whether or not a minor can travel without parents in the Philippines will depend on the individual circumstances.

According to the official website of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, children below 18 years old are not allowed to travel alone. They must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or another adult relative who is authorized by the parents. The authorization must be in writing and must be signed by both parents. It should also indicate the name of the person who will be accompanying the child, as well as the date and destination of travel. In cases where only one parent is available, the other parent must give his or her written consent.

All minors who are less than 18 years of age and who are traveling alone or with adults other than their parents or legal guardians must obtain a clearance from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). The purpose of the clearance is to ensure that the minor is not being trafficked or exploited in any way. In order to obtain a DSWD minor clearance, the minor must present a valid passport, birth certificate, and proof of travel itinerary. The clearance must be obtained prior to travel and is valid for a period of one year.

Traveling with a minor can be complicated, as there are many rules and regulations that must be followed. In order to ensure a safe and smooth trip, it is important to know what the requirements are and how to go about obtaining the necessary documentation. We have outlined the basics of DSWD travel clearances for minors in the Philippines. We hope that this information will help you prepare for your next journey with your child.

Please make sure to prepare beforehand so that there will be no problems during the trip such as getting denied travel or not being able to go on the trip at all. Getting a DSWD travel clearance will help ensure that your minor child is not being trafficked or exploited in any way and that they are legally allowed to travel. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact the nearest DSWD office or travel agency.

DSWD TRAVEL CLEARANCE FOR MINORS

Step-by-Step Guide and Requirements

If a minor child is planning to travel outside the country without both parents accompanying them, it's essential to obtain a Travel Clearance from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). Without this clearance, the child won't be permitted to leave the country. This clearance will be checked during the boarding process and at immigration, and if the child or their adult companions fail to produce it, they will not be allowed to board their flight.

    Paano po kukuha ng affidavit of support papunta po ng Switzerland pero kasama nya nmn nya c mama nya magtravel para sa bakasyon nila kc doon nagwork Ang mama nya at sunduin nya dto sa pilipinas at sabay na cla pupunta doon ..wat is the requirements po?..I’m the father of the girl po

    Is it still needed if the minor is travelling with his/her sibling to their biological mother with an affidavit of consent and marriage certificate from the biological father?

    Double check with the DSWD po; there are no “siblings” under the exemption

    Hi, my son will be travelling abroad with my sister in law. Is my sister in law considered as legal guardian? Do we still need to get DSWD travel clearance? When is court legal guardianship needed? Thanks!

    He probably needs to have one as your sister-in-law is not considered a legal guardian. legal guardians usually are there in case the minor is orphaned and they are in custody of them.

    Is it possible to get a travel clearance with only one parent consent? as i dont have any contact with my ex husband? any suggestions? thank you.

    You’ll need to present a Solo Parent – Solo Parent ID or Certificate of being a solo parent, court decree on legal separation, annulment, or divorce

    This was very helpful. Thanks a lot!

    Would you know where I can find a template for the waiver that needs to be attached?

    we don’t have a template po, you can search the internet or get it from a lawyer

    Do you have any experience with applying travel clearance online? I applied 1 week ago and no reply yet from DSWD, the status is still “submitted”. I’ve been calling DSWD Region 4A but all the nos. I tried are incorrect. I’m based here in Dubai and don’t know who can I contact to follow up. My daughter’s flight is in 2 weeks.

    Hi Irish, I also applied online and after two weeks I dont have a reply with DSWD. How long it takes for you to have your application assess and how about the travel clearance processing time. Thank you very much.

    Because of incidences of child abductions, a Filipino minor child, regardless of civil status, is required to secure a travel clearance issued by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) if the child will travel out of the Philippines, either alone or with an adult other than a parent.

    MINORS EXEMPTED FROM SECURING A TRAVEL CLEARANCE

    The only exemptions to the DSWD travel clearance are minor children who are:

    • travelling with either parent
    • travelling with the legal guardian
    • immigrants to another country and are holding a valid permanent residency card, dependents visa, or other pass issued by another country which proves residency with parents abroad. A minor who holds a permanent residency card of another country, or a valid pass such as dependents visa/pass/identification or permanent resident visa/pass/identification card is no longer required to secure travel clearance from DSWD.
    • not a Filipino citizen and are holding a foreign passport

    A minor who is a Filipino citizen and living abroad but does not hold either a permanent resident visa or equivalent pass issued by another country is required to secure a travel clearance.

    DSWD REQUIREMENTS FOR A TRAVEL CLEARANCE

    The application for travel clearance and its documentary requirements are filed at any DSWD Field Office. The application form is available at all DSWD Field Offices and downloadable from DSWD website www.dswd.gov.ph. The documentary requirements vary depending on whether the child is travelling alone or travelling with an adult other than a parent or legal guardian

    • For minors travelling alone to a foreign country for the first time
    • Duly accomplished DSWD Travel Clearance application form
    • Photocopy of either Birth Certificate or passport of the minor
    • Written consent of both parents or the solo parent or the legal guardian permitting the minor to travel alone to a foreign country. Parents based in Singapore can book an appointment through THIS LINK to secure a consularized Affidavit from the Philippine Embassy in Singapore granting permission for the minor to travel alone.
    • (married parents) a photocopy of the marriage certificate of the minor’s parents
    • (legal guardian) a photocopy of the certificate of legal guardianship of the minor,
    • (solo parent) a photocopy of the solo parent identification card from the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office, a Local Social Welfare and Development Office, Tallaq or Faskh certification from the Shariah court or any Muslim Barangay or religious leader
    • (if child is illegitimate) a Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR) issued by the National Statistics Office (NSO)
    • (if parents are deceased) a photocopy of the death certificate
    • Two colored passport size photos of the minor taken within the last six (6) months

    • A photocopy of the birth certificate of minor
    • A written consent of both parents or the solo parent or the legal guardian permitting the minor to travel to a foreign country with a specific person other than them.

    • As appropriate, a photocopy of the marriage certificate of the minor’s parents or a certificate of legal guardianship of the minor or in the case of solo parents, a solo parent identification card from the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office or a certification from the Local Social Welfare and Development Office of being a solo parent or a court decree of separation, annulment or divorce, or Tallaq or Fasakh certification from the Shariah court or any muslim barangay or religious leader or in the case of an illegitimate minor, a certificate of no marriage (CENOMAR) *from the National Statistics Office or in the case of a deceased parent, a photocopy of the death certificate

    • Photocopy of the passport of the travelling companion
    • For minor illegitimate children travelling abroad with the biological father

    VALIDITY OF A DSWD TRAVEL CLEARANCE

    A DSWD travel clearance is valid for a period of one (1) year from the date of issuance and shall be valid for multiple travels within the validity period, provided the conditions under which the travel clearance was issued have not changed. If a change in condition occurs like a change in travelling companion, a new travel clearance must be obtained.

    CHILDREN OF SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES

    • Orphaned minors who have no appointed legal guardian

    The grandparents (paternal or maternal) who exercise parental authority over an orphaned minor may issue the consent even without guardianship order from the Court. But in cases where both the grandparents are deceased, the relatives or acting guardians of the minor should work for their legal guardianship over the minor.

    • Minors whose parents have marital conflict and on hold order

    A minor who is the subject of ongoing custody battle between parents will not be issued a travel clearance unless a Court Order is issued to allow the child to travel abroad with either parent or authorized guardian.

    A child whose name is included in the Bureau of Immigration’s watchlist of minors travelling abroad will be prevented from leaving the country.

    • Illegitimate children

    The Family Code of the Philippines vests the mother with the parental authority over an illegitimate child (Article 176).

    • If travelling with the mother, a DSWD travel clearance is not required.
    • If travelling with a person other than the mother, a DSWD travel clearance is required.
    • If travelling with the biological father, a DSWD travel clearance is required. However, if a Court Order has granted parental authority to the father, a DSWD travel clearance is not required.
    • If travelling with an adult other than the mother, a DSWD travel clearance is required.

      ELECTRONIC OR FAX TRANSMISSION OF PARENTAL CONSENT

    A faxed copy is acceptable. Likewise, a computer generated photo of minors and emailed documents are acceptable.

    Kindly contact any  DSWD Field Office for inquiries.

    How to secure a travel clearance for minors traveling alone abroad?

    Are you a minor or below 18 years old who is planning to go abroad without your parents or guardian?

    All you have to do is secure a travel clearance from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

    A travel clearance is a document issued by the DSWD Field Offices or its attached agency, National Authority for Child Care (NACC), to a minor travelling abroad unaccompanied by any of the parent or those persons having parental authority and legal custody over the child. 

    Who needs to secure a Travel Clearance?

    • Filipino minor who is travelling alone using the Philippine passport only for their travel outside the Philippines;
    • Filipino minor travelling with prospective adoptive parent/s for purpose of inter-country adoption;
    • Filipino minor travelling with a person other than his/her parent/s, legal guardian or person exercising parental authority/ legal custody over him/her;
    • Filipino minor who is illegitimate and is travelling with his/her biological father;
    • For married minors, the same requirement applies to that of unmarried minors travelling abroad.

    First time applicants need to prepare the following:

    • Duly accomplished application form
    • Birth certificate of minor issued by Philippine Statistics Authority (original and photocopy)
    • As appropriate, PSA issued Marriage Certificate of the parents if legitimate child (original and photocopy).
    • If unmarried parents, PSA issued Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR) of the mother issued by Philippine Statistics Authority (original and photocopy).
    • Certificate of No Marriage from the Local Civil Registry if fictitious marriage
    • In case of deceased parent, PSA issued Death Certificate (original and photocopy).
    • Notarized affidavit of consent signed by both parents, or the person exercising parental authority or legal custody over the minor
    • Valid ID of parents with specimen signatures. If parents are working abroad, include copy of their valid passport and visa. If seafarer, copy of the seafarer’s book.
    • Two (2) pieces colored, and latest passport size pictures of minor (white background)
    • Valid passport of the minor’s travelling companion. Notarized affidavit of undertaking if travelling companion is a non-relative of minor.
    • Notarized affidavit of support and certified true copy of any evidence to show financial capability of sponsor.

    The DSWD said the application must be submitted/filed manually by the parent/s or legal guardian or a duly authorized representative at DSWD Field Office that has jurisdiction over the residence of minor. It is open from Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (except holidays). 

    The Travel Clearance may be issued within three (3) working days upon submission of the required documents.

    Applicants must pay P300 per child with one year validity and P600 per child with two (2) years validity. 

    In case of loss of the issued travel clearance, new set of requirements should be submitted to the Field Office and will be issued a new travel clearance. This should not be taken as a renewal of travel clearance but a new application, the DSWD said.

    Meanwhile, those who are exempted to secure travel clearance are minors accompanied by the following:

    • Either or both of the minor’s parents, if legitimate minor;
    • The minor’s biological mother, if illegitimate minor;
    • The minor’s father who has been granted sole parental authority or custody by the proper court, if the minor is illegitimate;
    • The minor’s legal guardian;
    • The person, including one of the minor’s parents, who was granted sole parental authority or legal custody by the proper court
    • Minor’s adoptive parents if the minor granted with adoption decree and certificate of finality.

    DSWD noted that minors under special circumstances travelling unaccompanied or alone must have the following documents: 

    • Unaccompanied minor certificate from the airlines

    DSWD Travel Clearance for Minor|Requirements and Conditions

    Traveling has been a form of leisure for Filipinos. Even minors love to travel abroad without their parents or family.

    But because of incidences of child abductions, a minor regardless of civil status is required to secure a travel clearance issued by the DSWD.

    Travel Clearance for Minors

    A travel clearance is a document issued by the DSWD to a Filipino child (below 18 years of age) traveling abroad alone or with someone other than his/her parents.

    Who needs a travel Clearance

    • Below 18-year-old minor traveling alone to a foreign country;
    • A minor traveling to a foreign country accompanied by a person other than his or her parents; and
    • An illegitimate child traveling to a foreign country accompanied by a person other than the mother.

    Who does not need a Travel Clearance

    • A minor traveling to a foreign country with either parent or with his or her solo parent or legal guardian;
    • A minor traveling abroad whose parents are in the Foreign Service or living abroad or are immigrants, provided he/she is holding a valid pass such as a dependents visa/pass/identification card or permanent resident visa/pass/identification card which serves as proof that he/she is living with parents abroad and their travel does not constitute child trafficking.
    • A minor with a permanent residency card;
    • A minor who is not a Filipino citizen and holds a foreign passport;
    • An illegitimate child traveling abroad with his/her mother.

    Requirements for Travel Clearance

    The application for travel clearance and its documentary requirements are filed at any DSWD Field Office.

    The application form is available at all DSWD Field Offices and downloadable from DSWD website www.dswd.gov.ph.

    The documentary requirements vary depending on whether the child is traveling alone or traveling with an adult other than a parent or legal guardian.

    For minors traveling alone to a foreign country for the first time

    • Duly accomplished DSWD Travel Clearance application form.
    • Photocopy of either Birth Certificate or passport of the minor.
    • Written consent of both parents or the solo parent or the legal guardian permitting the minor to travel alone to a foreign country.

    • (solo parent) a photocopy of the solo parent identification card from the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office, a Local Social Welfare and Development Office, Tallaq or Faskh certification from the Shariah court or any Muslim Barangay or religious leader

    • (if parents are deceased) a photocopy of the death certificate
    • Two colored passport size photos of the minor taken within the last six (6) months.
    • The DSWD social worker may require additional documentary requirements during the assessment of the Travel Clearance application to make sure that no child shall be trafficked and that the child’s best interest and welfare are ensured.

    For  minors traveling for the first time with a person other than the parents or legal guardian

    • A photocopy of the birth certificate of the minor.
    • Written consent of both parents or the solo parent or the legal guardian permitting the minor to travel to a foreign country with a specific person other than them.
    • As appropriate, a photocopy of the marriage certificate of the minor’s parents or a certificate of legal guardianship of the minor or in the case of solo parents, a solo parent identification card from the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office or a certification from the Local Social Welfare and Development Office of being a solo parent or a court decree of separation, annulment or divorce, or Tallaq or Fasakh certification from the Shariah court or any Muslim Barangay or religious leader or in the case of an illegitimate minor, a certificate of no marriage (CENOMAR) *from the National Statistics Office or in the case of a deceased parent, a photocopy of the death certificate
    • Two colored passport photos of the minor taken within the last 6 months.
    • Photocopy of the passport of the traveling companion.

    For minor illegitimate children traveling abroad with the biological father

    A minor illegitimate child who is traveling abroad accompanied by the biological father is required to secure a travel clearance certificate as parental authority is vested only to the mother of the child, per Article 176 of the Family Code of the Philippines.

    Validity for Travel Clearance

    A DSWD travel clearance is valid for a period of one (1) year from the date of issuance and shall be valid for multiple travels within the validity period, provided the conditions under which the travel clearance was issued have not changed.

    If a change in condition occurs like a change in traveling companion, a new travel clearance must be obtained.

    HOW MUCH IS THE PROCESSING FEE FOR A TRAVEL CLEARANCE ISSUED TO A MINOR?

    The DSWD shall collect a processing fee for each travel clearance issued to minors traveling abroad under the following options:

    • Php 300.00 with a validity of one (1) year.
    • Php 600.00 with a validity of two (2) years.

    Where can one file the application?

    The application for travel clearance, together with the supporting documents required shall be submitted/filed at the DSWD Regional Office that has jurisdiction over the minor’s residence.

    Application forms may be obtained from any DSWD-Regional Office or maybe downloaded from the website www.dswd.gov.ph.

    • On the appointed date, go to the DSWD Regional Office that has jurisdiction over the minor’s residence which processed your application, to submit the original copy of your supporting documents and pay PhP300.00 per travel clearance certificate. The travel clearance certificate will be obtained thereafter.

    Other Frequently Asked Questions…

    WHO WOULD GIVE THE CONSENT FOR THE TRAVEL OF A TOTALLY ORPHANED MINOR WHO HAS NO APPOINTED LEGAL GUARDIAN? Paternal/maternal grandparents who exercise parental authority over a minor whose parents are both deceased may issue the consent even without guardianship order from the Court.

    But in cases where both the paternal/maternal grandparents are deceased, relatives/acting guardians of the minor should work for their legal guardianship over the minor.

    WHAT ABOUT THOSE CHILDREN WHOSE PARENTS HAVE MARITAL CONFLICT AND ARE ON HOLD ORDER?

    A minor who is the subject of an ongoing custody battle between parents will not be issued a travel clearance unless a Court Order is issued to allow the child to travel abroad with either one of his/her parents or authorized guardian.

    The family shall be responsible to notify the Bureau of Immigration to include the name of the child/ren in the watchlist of minors traveling abroad.

    It is, therefore, the Bureau of Immigration’s responsibility to ensure that no child under the watchlist order leaves the country.

    CAN A TRAVEL CLEARANCE BE ISSUED TO ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN WHO ARE STILL APPLYING FOR THEIR VISA IN THE EMBASSY?

    Illegitimate children are under the custody of the mother. If they will be traveling with the mother, they are not required to secure a travel clearance from the DSWD. If they are traveling with a person other than the mother, they must secure a travel clearance.

    IS A FAXED COPY OF THE PARENTAL CONSENT OF PARENTS RESIDING ABROAD ACCEPTABLE?

    Faxed written consent is only applicable to parents whose place of work is not land-based e.g. seafarers, etc.

    WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN ABANDONED BY THE MOTHER AND UNDER THE CUSTODY OF THE FATHER OR OTHER RELATIVES WHO WILL BE TRAVELING ALONE OR WITH THE FATHER OR OTHER RELATIVES?

    Since the mother has the absolute parental authority over her illegitimate children the father would need to secure a Court Order vesting in him the parental authority over the illegitimate children.

    If a parental authority has been granted to the father, and the minor will be traveling with the father, he is not required to secure a travel clearance. If the minor will travel alone or with someone other than the father, he/she is required to secure a travel clearance.

    Hi, My 13 yr old son is travelling/migrating abroad with my sister in law. Is my sister in law considered as a legal guardian of my son? Do we still need to get a legal guardianship from court?

    Hello. I am currently working abroad and wanted to go home to the philippines and bring my children for a short visit in the country where i am working. Do i still need to secure a travel clearance or travel consent from their father because it is only me and kids who will travel? Thank you

    Hi there I would like to confirm with you if does my illegitimate son 15yrs old travelling alone and holds unexpired US permanent resident card still need to secure a travel clearance?

    Unfortunately your original reply was not at all clear as my question I don’t think fits the perimeters of these mentioned guidelines. Therefore Could I please confirm even though we are not married our child (illegitimate) holds (Duel Filipino and Australian Citizenship and will be Traveling using both her Filipino and Australian passports) with hier Biological father only therefore are we still required to gain the relevant permission to travel doc from the DSWD or is a permission to travel consent personalized from me and notarized for authenticity purposes enough given the above.

    Your confirmation would be greatly appreciated

    Thank you for your reply however the reason I wrote my initial question is because I couldn’t find the relevant answer under your updated guidelines therefore could you please confirm further.

    Appreciate if your able to do that.

    Hi ya (hope you and your family are well)

    Could I please confirm even though we are not married our child (illegitimate) holds (Duel Filipino and Australian Citizenship and will be Traveling using both her Filipino and Australian passports) with hier Biological father only therefore are we still required to gain the relevant permission to travel doc from the DSWD or is a permission to travel consent personalized from me and notarized for authenticity purposes enough given the above.

    Hi Janice, illegitimate minor who is traveling with his/her biological father needs travel clearance according to the requirements above. Due to the pandemic, please go to the DSWD directly to confirm new requirements because new protocol, additional, or changes in requirements may be required now. God bless and keep safe.

    How long is the processing time for travel clearance? I submitted it online but no feedback after a week. I think it will be better to apply it manually coz it will be more efficient and cuts time. For online application, there is no way you can contact anyone for the status of application.

    I am travelling with a minor she is 10 month old (she was born here and first time to fly) she holds a filipino and canadian passport do i still need to secure a travel clearance? I am not her mother.

    hello, my mother and mother in law will accompany my kids to the country where I am residing. is the grand mother considered legal guardian? and thus no longer required to get travel clearance for my kids anymore?

    Hi.. do you have Waiver Letter sample??

    Kailangan po ba talaga itong no.8 or for specific situation lang? I need answer immediately thanks.

    I’m traveling with my son in China without his dad. Do I need to secure travel clearance? He is 8yrs old.

    Hi Is travel clearance from DSWD can also apply for the return to philippines?For the minor’s travelong alone? Thanks.

    Yes, DSWD clearance can be used both for leaving the Philippines and returning to the Philippines.

    Hi. My daughter is a permanent resident in Canada. We all live here now. She has her permanent resident id card too. This is not her first time to travel but this time she’ll be accompanied by my father. What requirements does she need? Thank you

    One of the Exemptions listed is “not a Filipino citizen and are holding a foreign passport” So if your daughter is using a Canadian passport already, she should be exempted from this requirement. But: A minor who is a Filipino citizen and living abroad but does not hold either a permanent resident visa or equivalent pass issued by another country is required to secure a travel clearance.

    On the other hand, your father (her Grandfather) is considered a Legal Guardian so should not need DSWD Clearance! As long as it is easily established that he is her Grandfather.

    I got last december my dswd clearance with travel companion but now my travel companion is not going with me is it okay?

    Im a single mom that hve 2 kids i wnt to bring my kids what do i need to do

    “DSWD says that illegitimate children are under the custody of the mother” Also no need for certification if children are travelling with either parent. Except when illegitimate child travelling with Father.

    good day we have a child of 10 years old and we want him to travel alone with the flight attendant but the dswd didn’t gave him a travel clearance because they said that 10 years old below not allow to travel alone. is it true? thank you very much…

    Interested in this case because I also want my 8yr.old to avail the unaccompanied minor service of PAL but DSWD’s information channels are practically useless.

    Did you succeed?

    Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD): What You Need to Know

    One department in the government that is often heard of but rarely understood is the Department of Social Welfare and Development. However, it’s important for Filipinos to understand what the department does and how it affects their welfare. In this article, we’ll look at some of the history of the development department, why it’s essential to Filipino lives, and what you can do when you face difficulties with your DSWD application or claim benefits .

    Some Filipinos working abroad send remittances to their families in the Philippines. However, there still many Filipino workers who are not able to do so. These OFWs make use of government programs such as the DSWD. Although they are frequently asked questions about the DSWD, here are some facts that every OFW needs to know about this department.
