Providing parental consent when a child travels without custodial parents
Ports of entry in many countries have security measures to prevent international child abduction. If your child is traveling alone or with only one parent or legal guardian, they may need a letter of consent.
It is preferred that the letter of consent is in English and notarized.
If the child is traveling with one custodial parent, the letter should be from the other parent.
If the child is traveling with a guardian or alone, both parents should sign the letter.
The letter should say: “I acknowledge that my child is traveling outside the country with [the name of the adult] with my permission.”
Contact the embassy or consulate of the country your child will be visitingand ask about letters of consent and other entry and exit requirements for that country.
