A consent letter demonstrates that a child has permission to travel outside Canada from every parent or guardian who is not accompanying them on the trip. Know what documents a child needs to travel to or from the U.S. All children, including infants, must have their own travel documents.There is no Canadian legal requirement for children to carry a consent letter. The intention of this letter is to provide consent for a minor child to travel without the company of both legal parents. Child's Information: The form includes the child's full name, date of birth, place of birth, and passport or identification details. While it's recommended to have notarised written consent, it's definitely not required and in my experience you're highly unlikely to be asked for it. If children are not travelling with both their parents, (ie: if they are travelling alone, or with another adult), this form can be used to give permission. By filling out a child travel consent form, you can help ensure that airlines only allow your child to travel on approved trips. Do bring government issued identification and the child's birth certificate. DO NOT sign this consent form before meeting with the Notary Public.
