FAQ

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.

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.

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.

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.

Can the Child (Minor) Travel Consent be notarized online? Yes. Online notarization of the Child (Minor) Travel Consent is completely legal and secure. Your documents can be notarized online in minutes through the Notarize Network, starting at $25.
