LawDepot's Child Travel Consent form:

  • Proves to authorities and foreign officials that a child has consent from his or her parent(s) or guardians(s) to travel.
  • Helps to prevent hassles, delays, and cancellations at the border.
  • Is ideal for children traveling without parents or guardians, or with only one parent or guardian.
  • Can be used by schools, churches, sports teams and other organizations that need a Child Travel Consent form.

Include country if not Canada. (e.g. "Calgary, Alberta")

Travel Arrangements

"Sole custody" means that only one parent/guardian has the right to make decisions affecting the child (e.g., schooling, health care, etc.). "Joint custody" means that both parents have the right to participate in making these kinds of decisions. Parents may have joint custody even if the child resides with only one parent.

What if the parent's name is different than the child's name?

Signing Details


Notary Public Signing: To be of full effect, this document should be sworn and signed before a Notary Public or a Commissioner for Oaths. DO bring government issued identification and the child's birth certificate. DO NOT sign this consent form before meeting with the Notary Public or Commissioner for Oaths.

Witness Signing: It is possible that signing before a Witness instead of a Notary Public will be adequate. However, we recommend you check the current policy of your airlines and/or the countries you are traveling to before taking this approach.

Other: If there is a custody order or death certificate, the original or a certified true copy should travel with the child.
