When participating in a school trip or traveling with an organized group.
International Travel
When traveling internationally without both parents present.
Unaccompanied
When traveling entirely without a parent or legal guardian.
IMPORTANT
Requirements vary by destination and circumstances, so parents and guardians should verify the specific requirements that apply to their trip.
What Is Typically Included in a Child Travel Consent Letter?
- Child's full legal name
- Child's date of birth
- Parent or guardian information
- Name of the accompanying adult
- Travel destination
- Travel dates
- Contact information
- Description of the authorized travel
- Parent or guardian signature
- Notarial certificate when notarization is required
IMPORTANT
The exact information required may vary depending on the destination, airline, or circumstances of the trip.
Does a Minor Travel Consent Form Need to Be Notarized?
When Notarization May Be Requested
Notarization is not universally required for every child traveling from the United States. However, some countries and travel circumstances may require or request a notarized consent letter when a child is traveling without one or both parents or legal guardians.
The Role of the Notary
A notary verifies the identity of the person signing and completes the appropriate notarial act. The notary does not determine whether the document is legally sufficient for a particular destination.
Before traveling, confirm the requirements with the destination country, airline, embassy, consulate, or other appropriate authority.

INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
Traveling Internationally With a Minor?
International travel requirements for children vary by country. Some destinations may request additional documentation when a child travels with one parent, without either parent, or with another adult.
Depending on the trip, travelers may also need documents such as:
- Child's passport
- Birth certificate
- Proof of parental relationship
- Custody documentation when applicable
- Notarized parental consent
- Other documents required by the destination country
Always verify current entry and exit requirements for your destination before traveling.
COMPLIANCE ADVISORY
Travel consent requirements and passport consent requirements are not necessarily the same.
A parental travel consent letter should not be confused with forms used to authorize issuance of a U.S. passport to a minor (such as Form DS-3053). Verify the exact documents needed for both your child's passport and their entry into your specific destination.
Does Your Travel Document Need an Apostille?
If a travel-related document will be presented in another country, you may be asked to obtain additional authentication or an apostille.
Whether an apostille is required depends on the document, destination, and receiving authority. Blue Ink also provides professional apostille processing for eligible Florida documents.

STILL GOT QUESTIONS?
Minor Travel Consent Form FAQs
Requirements for minor travel vary greatly depending on the destination country, airline, and travel circumstances. We strongly encourage all parents and guardians to verify specific requirements with their airline, destination embassy, or appropriate government authority prior to their trip.
Have questions about getting your document notarized? We've gathered the most common answers below.
Does a child need a notarized letter to travel with one parent?
Requirements vary. Some destinations or travel circumstances may require or request written or notarized consent from the non-traveling parent. Verify the requirements for your specific trip before traveling.
Does a minor need a travel consent form to fly within the United States?
Requirements can differ depending on the circumstances and transportation provider. Check directly with the airline or transportation provider before traveling.
Can grandparents travel with a child using a parental consent letter?
A written parental consent letter may be useful or required depending on the destination and travel circumstances. Parents should verify the requirements before the trip.
Can a minor travel consent form be notarized online?
Eligible documents may be completed using Remote Online Notarization when legally and practically appropriate. Blue Ink can help determine whether an online notarization appointment is available for the document.
What identification does the parent need?
The person signing should have acceptable government-issued identification available for the notarization.
Should I sign the travel consent form before meeting the notary?
Do not sign beforehand if the notarial act requires the signature to be completed in the notary's presence. Contact Blue Ink if you are unsure how to prepare for the appointment.
Is a minor travel consent form the same as Form DS-3053?
No. A general travel consent letter authorizes a child's travel under specified circumstances. Form DS-3053 is a U.S. Department of State form used in certain situations involving consent for issuance of a U.S. passport to a child.
Do I need an apostille for a minor travel consent form?
Not always. Requirements depend on where and how the document will be used. Confirm with the receiving authority or destination before requesting an apostille.
