Adoptive Parents' Declaration: For Everyday Records, Not the Legal Adoption Itself

This isn't your legal adoption paperwork

It's a supporting declaration for school admission, name records, or similar everyday needs - your registered adoption deed or court order remains the actual legal document establishing the adoption.

What This Is For

Once an adoption is legally complete, day-to-day institutions - a school, a records office - often just want a simple declaration confirming the adoptive relationship and the child's current name/details, rather than reviewing your full legal adoption file each time. This affidavit serves that purpose.

Fill in the adoptive parents' details, child's name and DOB, and the purpose - get it ready to notarize.

For a Child's Passport

This affidavit can support the application as a declaration of the adoptive relationship, but Passport Seva Kendra typically also wants your underlying legal adoption documentation (registered deed or court order) - check their current specific requirement rather than relying on this affidavit alone.

What Stamp Paper Value Do You Need?

This varies by state - commonly ₹50 to ₹100 non-judicial stamp paper, but not fixed nationwide. Confirm with your notary before printing.

Disclaimer

This is a reference format, not legal advice. It does not replace a formal adoption deed or CARA process - consult a lawyer for the actual legal adoption itself.
