This document might be requested by the airline representative, travel company agent, or an immigration officer when the child travels internationally alone, with one parent, with a family member or a friend, or with schoolmates. Whether the parents are divorced or a husband or wife goes somewhere with a child without their spouse, it is recommended to prepare a consent form to avoid any confusion or additional questions and delays during the journey.

A Letter of Consent for International Travel should be composed with the following guidelines:

1. State the full name of the child and their parents. Add more personal details: include the child's place of birth and passport number.
2. Acknowledge your consent to the travel and indicate whether the child travels alone or with someone else. You need to record the name of the person who accompanies the traveler and provide their passport details as well. Shortly describe the relationship of the individual to the child or explain why your child travels with the group or organization.
3. Record the dates of the travel and the destination.
4. Confirm your permission to travel by signing the document. The letter should be signed by two parents or guardians, and if one of them is unable to sign, explain why and attach documentation to prove the reason if necessary. You may add extra weight to the consent if you choose to notarize it; however, a notary seal is not an obligatory requirement.
