Before You Print
- Not legal advice. This is a general form. For your own situation, consult a lawyer, especially if your case is unusual or a lot of money is involved.
- You will swear before the notary that it is true, then sign (this is called a jurat).
- Do not sign it yet. You sign in front of the notary, with a valid government ID.
- Embassies and schools often have their own forms or their own rules for proof of support. Check what the embassy or office asks for first. Some want Bank Certificates, Income Tax Returns or a Certificate of Employment attached.
- A sponsor who lives abroad can sign it before a Philippine embassy or consulate, or before a notary in the country where they live and then get an apostille there, if that country is part of the Apostille Convention. See the guide Apostille.
- For a minor travelling abroad without a parent, the DSWD Travel Clearance is a separate requirement. See the guide Travel Clearance for minors.
