The letter should say: "I acknowledge that my child is traveling outside the country with the name of the adult with my permission." A parent who frequently crosses the border by land with a minor should always carry a letter of permission from the other parent.
Without such a travel signature, you may be denied entry into the US at the border, even if all your other documents are in order. To obtain a travel signature, you should visit OIA before you leave the US and bring your DS-2019 form. No appointment is needed. The process takes a few minutes only.
If your child is traveling alone, with only one parent, or with a non-legal guardian, they will require a Child Travel Consent signed by both parents or legal guardians. A Child Travel Consent is sometimes called a letter of permission to travel.
How To Get a Notarized Letter of Consent First, you have to find a public notary who is willing to notarize your travel document.

You must have a valid travel signature on your I-20 or DS-2019 to return to the U.S. after you travel abroad. Each signature is valid for one year. (F-1 students on OPT: the travel signature is valid for six months).
What happens if I try to enter the United States without a valid travel signature? If you arrive at a US port of entry without all the required documents, the customs officer may deny you entry into US. As an alternative, the officer may issue you an I-515A. This document allows you temporary admission into the US.
To request a travel signature, please submit MyISS>F-1 and J-1 Student Services>Reissue/Travel Signature Request.
The Department of Homeland Security recommends that travel authorization applications be submitted at least 72 hours prior to travel.
Option 1: Go to the ISS office in person and drop off your most recent I-20/DS-2019 for our office to process your travel signature within 1 business day. Option 2: If you cannot come into the office in person, request a reprint of your document to receive a valid travel signature.
