Dear Ma'am, I am Sherly Thomas, mother of Jibin Thomas, a student of your class. I have been informed that the school is organising a trip to Goa from 29/12/2021 to 03/01/2022. This is to inform you that I have given my consent for my son to participate in the school trip.
If the child is not accompanied by both parents, we recommend carrying a consent letter signed by the non-accompanying parent, regardless of the parents' marital status (single, married, common-law, separated, divorced or never married).
Contact A Notary Public: After drafting your letter, reach out to a local notary public or use online services like NotaryCam. Presentation For Verification: Present yourself along with identification documents before signing under oath in front of them.
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.
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."
Can the Child (Minor) Travel Consent be notarized online? Yes. Online notarization of the Child (Minor) Travel Consent is completely legal and secure. Your documents can be notarized online in minutes through the Notarize Network, starting at $25.
What to include in a parental consent form for travel. The child's full name. Date of birth. Place of birth. Passport number and information (for international travel) Who is accompanying the child, their contact information, and relationship to the child (if any) Destination, including time frames and addresses.
The letter should say: "I acknowledge that my child is traveling outside the country with the name of the adult with my permission." A parent who frequently crosses the border by land with a minor should always carry a letter of permission from the other parent.
