Parental Consent to Travel Letter PDF — Free Generator

Airlines, border agents, and some courts may ask for written permission when a child travels with one parent or another adult. A concise consent letter with full names, trip dates, and destinations reduces questions at the gate or customs window.

What to include in a travel consent letter

• Parent/guardian names and a current address.
• Child name, date of birth, and passport number if available.
• Travel companion name, relationship, destinations, and travel dates.
• Emergency contact details and signature lines for each parent or guardian.

When in doubt, add a brief itinerary (flights or lodging) and consider notarizing. Some countries or airlines expect a notary seal to accompany parental consent.
