Carrying Someone else's PR Card

[muzmil]

One of my friend is going to land next month but will leave in 1 month, I know if there is a problem with photo or something he needs to be present here but he is wiling to take that risk.

My question is : If his PR Card arrives safely to my address here can i take his pr card with me as i am planning to go on vacation in 3-4 months. I am planning to get an original authorization letter signed from him as well -

Any ideas if there is no issue carrying his PR card (along with the authorization letter) ?

why do feel there is an issue with that? nobody will ask you if you are carrying someone's pr card or not - when you travel.

Well i am trying to make sure it is legal or not , because during scan they can spot presence of PR card i guess.

I'm pretty sure it is fine. I'm not aware of any rule that says you can't. Anyway it is a common suggestion for people who are out of the country when the PR card arrives, to have someone mail it or hand deliver it to them.

You will be ok as you have an authorization letter - make sure it has both of your pertinent details i.e. DOB, addresses, contact numbers and details of relevant ID e.g. DL, passport etc.

You realized you replied in a thread 3 years ago? You don't need any authorization letter to carry someone else card.

Yes, i realized how old is the thread but still used it due to its relevance with the topic. If someone wants to use an authorization letter being on safer side, can you suggest a format that can be used?
Thanks.

Hello guys can someone please share the authorization letter format which they have used in the past for Carrying Someone else's PR Card?

It will be really helpful for the people visiting to this thread.

Thank You.

in case worried so much about taking other's card, why not just send the card via registered mail to the person in other country directly. It doesn't cost a lot.

What would be helpful is to read the comments: you DO NOT need any authorization letter. This question is simply a case of irrational anxiety.

If you still feel the necessity to have a letter to satisfy this anxiety, then make one up yourself. Since no one except you will read the letter, it doesn’t really matter what you put on it. Here’s an example:

Yo yo to whom it may concerns - what’s good boo-boo, how ya doin?

I hereby formally declare by the powers of the lord instated upon myself, that my friend, [insert full name with D.O.B, city born & passport number to be precise] shall be allowed to carry on their persons my pr card on the following days: [insert days]. This is total consent, no cap.

urs truly,
[insert PR card holder’s name]

n.b - pls dont arrest thx xx

Have a lawyer witness the drafting of the letter so it can be notarized.

Hope that helps! Good luck

You can get an email from your friend if you want. Would personally discourage keeping your friend’s PR card in your wallet with your ID. Would carry it in a separate envelope and you can add an email from your friend asking you to bring him/her the PR card if you want to include a letter.

It worked for us without any issues, no one asked for the authorization letter. If youre concerned just call the customs of where you will be arriving and ask if they really need it. I did and got the reply "that would be nice", in other words, they didn't really care.
