Minor Child Travel Consent

A child travel consent form can be used for any minor that has permission from their parent or legal guardian for domestic or international travel with an individual, group, or organization. In addition, this is also common when the child is traveling alone. It’s preferred to have the consent form signed by both parents, although one (1) is sufficient.

Domestic Travel – A minor that is traveling alone by plane may get questioned by the TSA. Therefore, they must have some identification as well as a letter, although this is not required as children are allowed to fly alone.

International Travel – A minor that is traveling alone, with a non-parent/guardian, or with one (1) parent may have to present a parental consent form to leave the country and to be accepted by immigration authorities in the visiting country. Recommended having the consent be notarized by attaching the notary acknowledgment form.
