Traveling With Minors
When minors (17 and under) are not traveling with either or both of their parents, the responsible adult (guardian) must bring an original notarized signed letter from the absent parent/legal guardian authorizing the minor to travel. The minor consent form can be found here.
Note: Most countries do not require these forms, but we feel that it is in the best interest of the traveling parent, the absent parent, and child to have the information available to authorities. In any case, the medical instructions are a good idea. It is the traveler’s ultimate responsibility to verify entry and exit requirements of all destinations. This is not to be construed as legal advice and is only to be considered a best practice.
