What is a Child Travel Consent Form?

Traveling with children can be an amazing adventure, but also stressful! When flying, children require specific documentation depending on their age, travel destination, and airline rules. Don't stress about missing your flight! With the right documents, you can prevent any issues. When traveling abroad, it is crucial to contact the embassy or consulate of that country to inquire about the specific entry and exit requirements.

When traveling with a minor, it is crucial to have a Child Travel Consent Form. A child travel consent form legally grants a minor aged under 18 permission to travel without their parent(s) or legal guardian(s). This document is also called:

  • Affidavit of Consent for Children Traveling

  • Letter for Children Traveling Abroad

  • Minor Travel Consent Form

  • Letter of Consent to Travel

  • Travel Consent Letter for Minor

When a minor child is traveling without one or both parents, it is necessary to draft a travel consent letter. This letter should be signed in the presence of a notary public for notarization. If the travel is international, it may be required to have the form apostilled. You can find examples of travel consent letters online, or ask the airline for a form. Here's a sample Child Travel Consent Form for your reference.
