INSTRUCTIONS FOR
PARENTAL/GUARDIAN APPROVAL FOR
MINOR TO TRAVEL AND MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION
If one legal parent is traveling outside the United States with a
minor child, this form should be signed by the legal parent that is
not
traveling.
If a minor child is traveling outside the United States with someone
other than either legal parent,
BOTH
legal parents should sign this
form.
If one or both legal parents are deceased, a certified death
certificate should be attached to this form. If one of the legal
parent’s whereabouts is unknown, a separate affidavit stating such
is suggested.
Note:
Most countries do not require these forms, but it is in the best interest of the traveling
parent, the absent parent, and child to have the information available to authorities. In any case, the
medical instructions are a good idea. It is the traveler’s ultimate responsibility to verify entry and exit
requirements of all destinations. This is not to be construed as legal advice and is only to be considered a
best practice.
