A letter of consent, preferably in English and notarized, from the other parent or signed by both custodial parents. The letter should say: "I acknowledge that my child is traveling outside the country with the name of the adult with my permission."
The two most important documents are the child's ID and a consent form from their legal guardian. ID: The TSA does not require minors under the age of 18 to show ID when traveling with an adult companion within the United States, but some airlines do.
If the child is not accompanied by both parents, we recommend carrying a consent letter signed by the non-accompanying parent, regardless of the parents' marital status (single, married, common-law, separated, divorced or never married).

Outline the trip information, including destination and travel dates. Include the signature of the consenting parent or guardian.
Typically, minors under the age of 18 do not have to present identification for domestic U.S. travel. Airlines will accept identification from the responsible adult on behalf of the minor(s). For international travel, minors under the age of 18 must present the same travel documents as the adult.
