Letter of no Objection

[Lifer]

OK so we need to get a statement from my stepson's biological father, called a 'letter of no objection'. We have a copy of the form, but no instructions, and I want to get it right to avoid delays.

It says:

I,___________________of_____________________hereby state that I have no objection to the emigration of my wife/husband/child__________________________________of________________________

So those blanks should be, in order:

-Father's name (in English I assume? He's Thai and his name would properly be spelled in the Thai alphabet but usually they want English)

-Father's country (Thailand in this case)

-Child's name

-Child's country (Thailand again)


Is that all correct?


Then there are lines for "Witness" and "Interpreter". Can these be just anyone? Does the witness need to be a notary public or similar officer? Does the interpreter need to be a professional of some sort?

Many similar documents need to be signed in the presence of a notary public or other person authorized to administer oaths. Does that apply here?
