Travel Arrangements

It is rare that one parent will be given the sole power of decision making to the exclusion of the other parent. "Sole custody" means that only one parent/guardian has the right to make decisions affecting the child (e.g., schooling, health care, etc.). "Joint custody" means that both parents have the right to participate in making these kinds of decisions. Parents may have joint custody even if the child resides with only one parent.

In other words, every person who has a legal right to make decision on behalf of the child has to sign the travel consent, if that person will not be traveling with the child.

What if the parent's name is different than the child's name?

Signing Details


Where will the document be signed?

Notary Public Signing: To be of full effect, this document should be sworn and signed before a Notary Public. DO bring government issued identification and the child's birth certificate. DO NOT sign this consent form before meeting with the Notary Public.

Witness Signing: It is possible that signing before a Witness instead of a Notary Public will be adequate. However, we recommend you check the current policy of your airlines and/or the countries you are traveling to before taking this approach.

Other: If there is a custody order or death certificate, the original or a certified true copy should travel with the child.
