Make your Free Travel Consent Form

Using a Travel Consent Form, you can allow your child to travel with another adult domestically or internationally. This highly-customizable Travel Consent template includes a medical release section in addition to the basic requirements for travel, so your children can receive medical care away from you, if necessary.

Fundamentally, a letter of permission for travel is a document where a parent or guardian acknowledges that their minor will be traveling alone or will be accompanied by an adult other than the legal guardian. Misunderstandings can occur when certain information isn't included, so you'll want to make sure that you include all of the relevant details.

Rocket Lawyer provides this free Child Travel Consent form template, which you can use if:

• Your child will be traveling alone (without a parent or guardian) within the U.S. or internationally.
• Your child will be traveling outside the country with only one of their parents
• Your child will be traveling within the U.S. or internationally with another adult (not a parent or guardian).
• You will be traveling with other minors, such as part of a team, with a coach or other chaperone.

You can quickly and easily draft a letter of permission for your child to travel with this template. At a minimum, the permission letter should provide your child's name and date of birth, the dates of trip, the name of the adult companion, the specific travel destinations, and the reason for travel. You should also make sure to include both parents' full names, signatures, and phone numbers.

If your child is traveling within the United States, notarization is typically not required. International travel requirements vary by country. Your best bet for international travel is to get your letter notarized. Many banks and credit unions provide notary services, or you can easily find one within your town. There is an increasing number of mobile notary service providers that will even travel to your location.
