There's no set government form for this, but what you can do is just simply type a letter. It just has those details. Your child's name, when they're traveling, where they're traveling, who they're traveling with. And you just need to sign it, giving their permission to do so. The reason you need this is.
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.
It is highly recommended that you have your Child Travel Consent notarized. U.S. Customs and Border Protection recommends that any child under the age of 16 traveling without both legal guardianshave a notarized Child Travel Consent signed by both legal guardians.
A consent letter is recommended for all cross-border travel, even for a day trip, if the child will be travelling alone, with only one parent, with friends or relatives or with a youth group.
In the USA, though, unless there's a court order requiring permission from both parents, a child may travel (even to overseas) with either parent/guardian without showing proof of permission from the other parent.
