Children traveling outside the U.S. Children under 18 may need a Letter of Consent to travel internationally without both parents.
A letter of consent, preferably in English and notarized, from the other parent or signed by both custodial parents. The letter should say: "I acknowledge that my child is traveling outside the country with the name of the adult with my permission."
You need to obtain a passport for your child if he/she will be traveling overseas. Your country has requirements for getting a birth certificate for your child, and your government's passport office will tell you what other documents may be used as alternatives.
A parent generally needs permission from the other parent before travelling with the child especially if the travel will impact the parenting time of the other parent. However, if the separation agreement dictates how travel should occur, both parents are expected to follow the terms of the agreement.
In the USA, though, unless there's a court order requiring permission from both parents, a child may travel (even to overseas) with either parent/guardian without showing proof of permission from the other parent.
You'll need to fill out an unaccompanied minor form and any necessary Customs and Immigration documents for the day of departure. This form must remain with your child during their journey. At check-in, parents / guardians will also need to provide: A birth certificate or passport as proof of the child's age.
What is included in a Child Travel Consent Form? the parents' and/or legal guardians' name(s) the child's or children's name(s) details of the adult (and, where applicable, organisation) accompanying the child. the child's medical information. the parents and/or legal guardians' emergency contact details.
