What is a Child Travel Consent Form?
A child travel consent form is a document in which a parent or guardian grants permission for a child to travel with another adult, such as a grandparent or family friend.
When do you need one?
Use this form when a child travels without both parents, especially for international travel. Airlines and border officials may request it.
Does it need to be notarized?
Notarization is strongly recommended, especially for international travel. Many airlines and countries require a notarized consent form.
Can you notarize a Child Travel Consent Form online in your state?
Remote online notarization is authorized in 45 states, and a notarization performed under a state’s RON law is generally recognized in the others — so signers in states without their own RON statute can usually still notarize online with a commissioned notary elsewhere. Whether this document is eligible, and whether it needs witnesses, depends on your state and on the party who will accept it. Select your state for its specific rules.
