Traveling with Children: Need a Notarized Consent Form?
Traveling with children can be exciting, but preparing the right documents is an important part of the process — especially when a child is traveling internationally, with only one parent, or with another adult.
When You May Need a Notarized Consent Form
Traveling with children can be exciting, but preparing the right documents is an important part of the process — especially when a child is traveling internationally, traveling with only one parent, or traveling with another adult.
In some situations, parents or legal guardians may be asked to provide a notarised parental consent or authorisation document before a child travels. Requirements can vary depending on the destination, airline, circumstances of the trip, and other applicable requirements, so it is always important to confirm what documentation is needed before travelling.
When Might a Child Travel Consent Form Be Needed?
A parent may consider having a consent document notarised when:
A notarisation helps verify the identity of the person signing the document and confirms that the signature was properly acknowledged before a notary.
Don't Wait Until the Last Minute
Travel plans can come together quickly, and discovering that a document needs to be notarised right before a trip can create unnecessary stress. At Notary & Fast POA, we offer convenient mobile and online notary services to help make the notarisation process easier.
Depending on the document and applicable requirements, we can help you arrange a notary appointment at a convenient location or online.
Need an Apostille Too?
If your document will be used internationally, you may also need an apostille or other authentication depending on the destination and the purpose of the document. Our team also offers apostille services, helping clients process documents that need to be used abroad.
Plan Ahead for a Smoother Trip
Before travelling, check with the airline, destination country's authorities, or the appropriate government agency to confirm exactly what documents are required for your child's trip.
If you already have the document and need it notarised, Notary & Fast POA is here to help. Contact us to schedule your appointment.
