Hello,

With the recent ruling in the Delhi high court that a single mother can apply for a child's passport without the father's signature, women in the same situation can also take the benifit of such ruling. However, it is advised that you should produce the relevant documents at the pass port office, depicting that the sole custody of child is with the mother now for which it is advised that you get this clause penned down in the talaknama, duly signed by both the parties.

Thanks and Regards

For this you require a flawless MOU to be drafted by your lawyer. Nothing is to be done except to execute the MOU. Once the MOU gets executed and attains finality it will be the charter of rights and liabilities of both parents with respect to the custody and upbringing of kids. Muslim Personal Law has no application whatsoever if the spouses are parting their ways through mutual consent divorce.

The consent of the biological father, even if custody has been awarded in entirety to the mother of the applicant(child), is indispensable for the passport of the child.

1. Father's signature is required while applying for child's passport.

2. There can not be any legal instrument which can substitute father's signature in the passport application form.

3. If you remarry and if your children are taken in adoption by your future husband with the consent of your present husband, then only this problem can be solved and your childrens' adoptive father can sign as their father.

1. There is no such legal instrument which can be substituted for father's signature while applying for their passport.

2. You shall have to substitute their father with adoptive father as suggested in my earlier post.
