Notarize an Affidavit of Guardianship Online
Schools, benefit agencies, and banks ask for an affidavit of guardianship when someone other than the parents cares for a minor: a grandparent enrolling a child whose parents work abroad, an aunt claiming a minor's benefits, or a relative opening the child's account.
OFW families use these most
With millions of Filipino children in kinship care while parents work overseas, guardianship affidavits are a school-season staple. Guardians can now swear them online without losing a workday, and OFW parents can execute companion consents from Philippine embassy premises abroad.
What you need
- The affidavit in PDF naming the minor and the guardianship arrangement
