Planning an international trip with your child can be exciting, especially when you are looking forward to family vacations, cultural experiences, or visiting relatives abroad. But if a child is traveling with only one parent or legal guardian, many airlines and border officials may request a notarized travel consent form before allowing travel.

At Buenaventura Signings, we have been helping families throughout Ventura County get their Consent for International Travel with One Legal Guardian forms notarized quickly, professionally, and conveniently. We are ready to assist you and your family too!

What Is a Consent for International Travel Form?

A Consent for International Travel with One Legal Guardian form is a written authorization signed by the non-traveling parent or legal guardian. It gives permission for the child to travel internationally with the other parent or guardian.

This document may help prevent complications involving:

• International child abduction concerns
• Airline check-in issues
• Customs and immigration questions
• Delays at border crossings
• Problems entering or leaving another country

Many countries strongly recommend carrying this document when traveling internationally with a minor. So make sure to check the specific requirements for your destination and airline. Remember, as Notary Publics do not provide legal advice.

Why Does the Form Need To Be Notarized?

A notarized travel consent form adds an extra layer of credibility by verifying the identity of the signing parent or guardian. Some airlines, cruise lines, and foreign authorities specifically ask for notarized parental consent forms for minors traveling abroad.

As a California mobile notary, I help verify the signer’s identity and properly notarize the document so families can travel with greater confidence.
