Summer Travel: Traveling with a Minor? Don't Forget a Notarized Travel Consent Form
- 6 hours ago
- 2 min read
🌞Summer is one of the busiest travel seasons of the year. Families take advantage of school breaks to visit relatives, enjoy vacations, and create lasting memories. If a minor will be traveling with only one parent, a relative, or another responsible adult, having the proper documentation can help avoid unnecessary delays during the trip.
What Is a Minor Travel Consent Form?
A Minor Travel Consent Form is a document in which a parent or legal guardian authorizes a child to travel without both parents present. Depending on the destination and travel circumstances, airlines, immigration officials, or border authorities may request this document before allowing the child to travel.
Having the consent form notarized adds an extra level of credibility by verifying the identity of the person signing the document.
You may draft your own document or simply download our template, which includes the required notarial wording.

When Is a Notarized Travel Consent Form Recommended?
A notarized travel consent form is commonly recommended for:
International travel with only one parent.
International travel with grandparents, relatives, or family friends.
School trips, sports teams, church groups, or other organized activities.
Certain domestic trips within the United States when requested by an airline, travel organization, or other authority.
Being prepared with the proper documentation can help make your travel experience smoother and reduce the likelihood of delays.
Why Have the Document Notarized?
A Notary Public verifies the identity of the signer and witnesses the signature, helping establish the authenticity of the document. While notarization does not guarantee acceptance by every airline or government agency, it is often recommended and may be required in certain situations.
Check if an Apostille is required for you?
This is optional.
Some countries require an apostille after notarization, while others do not. We recommend confirming the requirements with the document recipient or requesting authority in the destination country before proceeding.
If the document recipient requires an apostille, feel free to use our apostille service below. The current processing time can be checked here.
