- Letter of consent for a child to travel abroad (Northern Ireland)For a parent with parental responsibility who is not going on the trip: a signed letter consenting to the child travelling abroad, the Republic of Ireland included, with the other parent, grandparents, a school or another family. Taking a child under 16 out of the United Kingdom without everyone’s consent or the court’s leave can be an offence (Article 3 of the Child Abduction (Northern Ireland) Order 1985). There is no official form; the letter names the child, the trip and the dates.
- Power of attorney for a single matter (Northern Ireland)For someone in Northern Ireland who needs another person to act for them in one matter only — selling a car, signing a contract, dealing with a bank account or a property sale while they are away. A deed (section 1 of the Powers of Attorney Act (Northern Ireland) 1971) naming the matter, what the attorney may sign and when the power ends, printed and signed in ink before a witness. If a letter of authority or the organisation’s own free form will do, use that first.
- Authority for a carer to consent to a child’s medical treatment (Northern Ireland)For a parent in Northern Ireland leaving a child with grandparents, a friend, a childminder or another carer: a signed letter arranging for the carer to consent to the child’s medical treatment while the child is with them, and to speak to doctors and dentists. A parent may arrange for someone to meet part of their parental responsibility but cannot hand it over (Article 5(8) of the Children (Northern Ireland) Order 1995). You choose emergency treatment only, or routine care too, and the dates.
- Deed of revocation of a power of attorney (Northern Ireland)For someone in Northern Ireland who gave a general or one-off power of attorney under the Powers of Attorney Act (Northern Ireland) 1971 and wants to end it. The deed revokes the power from its date and is printed and signed in ink before a witness. Give a copy to the attorney and to every bank or body that has dealt with them: until they know, they may be protected if they rely on the power (section 4 of the 1971 Act). Not for an enduring power registered with the Office of Care and Protection.
- General power of attorney under the 1971 Act (Northern Ireland)For an adult in Northern Ireland who wants someone they trust to handle their money and affairs while they can still decide for themselves — when abroad, in hospital or simply needing help. A deed in the section 10 form of the Powers of Attorney Act (Northern Ireland) 1971, printed and signed in ink before a witness. It stops working if you lose mental capacity; for that, Northern Ireland has the enduring power of attorney, registered with the Office of Care and Protection, which nidirect explains free.
- Authorisation for someone else to collect your child from school (UK)For a parent anywhere in the UK who wants a grandparent, a childminder, a friend or another adult to collect their child from school. A signed letter to the school naming each person allowed to collect the child, when the authorisation applies, and how they will prove who they are, which stays in force until you withdraw it in writing. Handed in at the school office. Many schools have their own collection form or app; use it first if yours does.
- Letter authorising another person to drive my car (UK)For the registered keeper of a car in the UK who lends it to someone, most often for a trip abroad, where officials may ask a driver who is not the keeper for proof of the keeper's permission. The letter names the keeper, the driver, the vehicle, the dates and any countries, and says which insurance covers the driver. It gives permission only: insurance, not a letter, decides who may drive. A hired or leased vehicle needs the company's vehicle on hire certificate (VE103) instead.
- Letter of authority for someone to deal with an organisation for you (UK)For anyone who wants a relative, friend or carer to speak to their bank, energy or phone company, council or landlord for them: a signed letter naming the person, the accounts or matter, and whether they may only discuss it and receive information or also give instructions. It lets the organisation share your personal data with them, and you can withdraw it at any time. Many organisations have their own free form; use that if they ask.
- Letter consenting to a child’s passport application (UK)For a parent or other person with parental responsibility who agrees that the other parent, or someone else, may apply for a British passport for the child. Usually one person with parental responsibility signs the application, but HM Passport Office may ask for the consent of everyone who has it — for example after a separation. The letter names the child and the applicant, gives your contact details and encloses a copy of your ID. Send it with the application, or as HMPO asks.
