Information
MinorClearPass is a travel consent letter. It is a document for minors that shows that the child’s legal guardians have given their consent for the child to travel, for example alone, with one parent or together with another adult.
MinorClearPass can be used when countries, airlines, border controls or other authorities want to confirm that the trip has been approved by the legal guardians.
Why is a travel consent letter required?
A travel consent letter is required to show that a child has permission to travel from their legal guardian or legal guardians. The purpose is to protect the child. The document helps prevent custody disputes, unlawful travel and suspicion of abduction. It also allows responsible adults to quickly show who has approved the trip and how the legal guardians can be contacted if needed.
MinorClearPass has been developed to make travel with minors clearer and more reliable. With a correct travel consent letter, legal guardians can certify that the minor’s trip has been approved. The document gathers all important information about the child, legal guardians, accompanying person and the trip.
