FAQ
Yes, you need to have the notarized letter of authorization from the absent parent, even if the last name is not different. The document needs to specify the dates it is in effect. The airlines are supposed to ask for it before allowing you to board - Mexican airlines routinely do, others may or may not.
If only one parent is accompanying a minor on a flight, said parent will have to bring along certain documentation granting the child permission to travel without the other parent. The following sections detail what is required in such circumstances.
Yes! Really, any parent who is traveling solo with their kids should have a letter of consent from the other parent (even if they are married). This ensures that they won't run into any issues traveling (within the US or internationally). I recommend this for US citizens too.
The letter should include the other person's contact details and details about the trip. It also helps if you've: evidence of your relationship with the child, for example a birth or adoption certificate. a divorce or marriage certificate, if you are a single parent but your family name is different from the child's.
No. One needs a valid passport to travel internationally. A birth certificate is no substitute and ads nothing.
You should obtain a child travel consent letter granting you permission from the absent parent to leave the country with your child (having it notarized is not required, but highly recommended).
