5. When parental consent is needed
Swiss law does not set an age from which a minor can consent alone: what matters is the minor's capacity of judgement, that is, the ability to understand what he or she is consenting to and what consequences follow. A minor with capacity of judgement decides personally; if the minor does not yet have it, the person representing the minor decides. In cases of doubt we ask for the signature of both the legal representative and the minor.
