PARENTAL CONSENT FORM INFORMATION

FOR MINOR CHILDREN TRAVELING OUTSIDE OF THE USA

In Addition To The Child's Citizenship Documentation, A Minor Child Under The Age Of 18 Must Have A Legal

Guardian, Or Parental Consent Form From Their Birth Parents / Legal Guardian To Exit The United States And Enter

Most Foreign Countries.

You should consult the consulate of the country the child will be traveling to for their requirements, as some

countries have specific requirements or have their own specific forms to fill out.

Parents /Legal Guardians Should

Complete The Form Listed Below For Each Minor Child Under The Age Of 18 (At The Time Travel Starts) To Prevent

Immigration Problems When Entering Or Leaving The Country.

When The Form Is Completed, ONLY SIGN It In The Presence Of A Notary Public!

Both Birth Parents / Legal Guardians Are Alive - If both birth parents or legal guardian(s) are alive, and one or

both of them will NOT be traveling with minor children, the non-traveling parent(s) / guardian(s) must complete the

form giving a notarized affidavit of consent to the person traveling with the child their authorization to take them in

and out of the country. Legal Guardians(s) must show or attach a certified copy of the guardianship papers.

A Parent with sole custody – If the other parent has legal rights of access (e.g. visitation rights) it is advisable to

obtain his or her consent. If it is not possible to obtain consent, OR if the other parent has no legal rights, you should

carry a notarized true copy of a court order or equivalent to prove that you have sole custody.

One Birth Parent Is Deceased - If one birth parent is deceased and the surviving parent is traveling, they need

only to have in their possession a certified copy of the death certificate of the deceased birth parent and the child's

citizenship documentation.

However, if the surviving birth parent WILL NOT be traveling with their minor child, they must complete this form

giving a notarized affidavit of consent to the person traveling with the child their authorization to take them in and out

of the country AND attach a certified copy of the death certificate for the other non-living birth parent.

I have been advised of the requirements to travel outside of the USA with my minor child / children. It is

my responsibility to have all documentation required to travel with my minor child / children. The travel

agency and/or the travel agent has no liability or financial responsibility to any costs incurred if I am

denied travel due to my not having the proper legal documentation.
