Child Travel Consent

A Parental Consent for Travel, sometimes referred to as a Child Travel Consent Letter, is an important document used when a minor is traveling without one or both parents or legal guardians. It provides written authorization for the child to travel with another parent, relative, family friend, organized group, or other authorized adult—or, when permitted, to travel independently.

These documents may be requested by airlines, border officials, cruise lines, schools, tour operators, or other authorities, particularly when a child is traveling internationally or when only one parent or guardian is accompanying the child.

At Raritan Valley Notary Services, we provide professional and convenient notarization of parental travel consent documents when notarization is requested or required. We carefully verify the identity of the signing parent or guardian and perform the appropriate notarial act so the completed document can be presented to the requesting organization.

Because travel requirements can vary depending on the destination, transportation provider, custody arrangements, and countries involved, parents and guardians should confirm the specific documentation requirements with the appropriate airline, cruise line, government authority, or legal professional before traveling.

Our mobile notary service makes the process even easier by meeting you at your home, office, or another convenient location before your trip.

Before they travel, make sure their paperwork is ready for the journey.
