When a child travels with only one parent, with someone other than a parent, or on their own, airlines, border officials or authorities may request a parental consent document.
If the required documentation is missing, the journey may be delayed or, in some cases, stopped.
There are no common international rules for parental consent documents. Each country has its own laws, procedures and requirements. This means that the need for documentation may vary depending on the destination, transit country and who the child is travelling with.
A parental consent document shows that the child’s legal guardians have approved the journey. With MinorClearPass, you can easily create a clear parental consent document before travel — fast, secure and ready to bring with you.
