Passport Application Without Consent

Hi Katherine,
To better assist you, could you please clarify if the passport application was for you, your sister, or someone else? This will help me provide you with accurate information.
Thank you!

Hi Katherine,
To provide you with accurate information, could you please clarify if you gave written consent for your sister and social services to apply for your son's passport?

Hi Katherine,
Thank you for clarifying. In England, applying for a child's passport without parental consent can be unlawful. Here are some key points:
- Parental consent is generally required for passport applications for children under *.
- Social services can only apply if they have a court order or parental responsibility.
Did social services inform you of any court order or legal basis for their action?

Hi Katherine,
Thank you for the information. In England, if your son is under social services care, they may have certain legal rights. However, they usually need a court order or parental responsibility to apply for a passport without your consent.
Would you like to know how to challenge their actions or get more details on their legal basis?

Hi Katherine,
Thank you for sharing the details. If social services have a court order, they may have the legal right to apply for the passport. However, using your personal details without permission might still be inappropriate.
Would you like guidance on how to address the misuse of your personal information?

Hi Katherine,
Here are some steps you can take to address the misuse of your personal information:
- **Contact Social Services:** Raise your concerns directly with them.
- **Information Commissioner's Office (ICO):** Report the issue if you believe your data protection rights were violated.
- **Seek Legal Advice:** Consider consulting a solicitor for further guidance.
Would you like more detailed information on any of these steps?
