WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE REQUIRED TO BECOME A GUARDIAN?

What Documents Are Needed to Become a Guardian?

If you are considering becoming a guardian for a child or another person who requires care, the first step you should take is to submit an application to the guardianship authorities. However, this is just the beginning of the process. To become an official guardian, you need to gather a certain set of documents and undergo several stages of verification. This is a serious and responsible step, so we will look into the specific documents and steps required to obtain guardian status in detail.

Main Documents for Obtaining Guardian Status

• Application to the Guardianship Authorities: First of all, you need to submit an application to the guardianship authorities where you intend to obtain guardian status. This is the main document that starts the entire process.
• Citizen Passport and TIN: Important documents that confirm your identity and registration with the tax service. A passport is a mandatory document for any legal procedure, while the TIN is necessary for tax purposes.
• Health Certificate: A mandatory medical document confirming that you are in sufficiently good physical and psychological condition to fulfill the duties of a guardian. This is necessary to demonstrate your ability to care for another person.
• Income Certificate: This is an important document indicating your financial ability to be a guardian. It shows whether you have enough resources to meet the needs of the child or person for whom you will be responsible.
• Reference from Work or School: This document allows the guardianship authorities to assess your social and professional situation to determine if you have a stable environment for raising or caring for a dependent.
• References from Neighbors or Relatives: Guardianship authorities typically require such references to assess your social stability and interactions with others. It helps ensure that you have support from the people around you.

Additional Documents and Requirements

In addition to the main set of documents, there may be additional requirements depending on the specific situation. For example, if you wish to become a guardian for a child living in another region, additional documents may be needed to verify your place of residence and the conditions for raising the child.

Also, if you are not a close relative of the person you want to take guardianship of, the guardianship authorities may require a social inspection of your living space and an assessment of your ability to fulfill the duties of a guardian.

Steps to Obtain Guardian Status

1. Prepare Documents: First of all, gather all the necessary documents for submission to the guardianship authorities.
2. Submit Application and Interview: After gathering the documents, submit your application and go through an interview where you will need to confirm your ability to become a guardian.
3. Document Verification and Social Inspection: After submitting the documents, your social situation will be assessed and verified against the guardianship requirements.
4. Assign Guardian Status: If all checks are successful, you will be granted guardian status and permitted to take care of the child or other person.
