Do you need a notarized letter to travel with a child alone? In most cases of a single parent traveling out of the country with their child, the answer is yes you do need a notarized consent to travel letter. You can download your own customizable travel consent letter here.
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.
Date: DD/MM/YYYY I have no objection in sending my child _______________________________________studying in Class _______& Section ______ for the field trip/picnic/event to ___________________________ _____________________(place) on ___________________(date(s) of the picnic/field trip/event).
How do I write a consent letter for my child to travel? List your child's name, birth date/place, and passport details. Provide the parent's/guardian's name, custody information, and passport details. Add contact information for the non-traveling parents/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.
