Travel Consent for Minor

A parent or guardian's signed authorization for a minor child to travel. Commonly required for school trips, international travel, and travel with non-parent adults.

Important: This is self-help document preparation, not legal advice. We do not advise whether a specific airline, country, or institution will accept this form. International travel may require additional documents (passport, visa, both-parent consent, apostille, etc.) — verify with your destination's requirements.
Document language

For international travel, the bilingual pack is often required so border officials and authorities in both countries can read the consent.

When this form is commonly used

Families typically use a notarized travel consent form when a minor is traveling without one or both parents — for example:

Different airlines, schools, cruise lines, and border officials have their own rules. This form is a general parental consent families commonly carry to address those requests. Whether any specific destination or carrier accepts the form is between you and them — confirm with their requirements before you travel.

What YYMA's form captures

You enter the information directly. Our system inserts it into a pre-existing template — no edits, no rewording.

Why the bilingual pack

Many families traveling to Spanish-speaking countries — Mexico, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Spain, Argentina, and others — prefer to carry both the English and Spanish versions of the form so officials on either end of the trip can read it without a translator. The Bilingual Pack delivers both PDFs in one order; the English-only and Spanish-only options ($9.99 each) are there if you only need one.

How Remote Online Notarization works

Remote Online Notarization (RON) is an optional add-on service. The signer connects with a Florida-commissioned notary by video, shows a valid government-issued ID on camera, and signs the document on screen. The notary witnesses the signing and applies a digital notary seal. The signer can be physically located in any of the 50 states; the notarial act is performed from Florida. Whether a specific destination or institution accepts the resulting document is a separate question — confirm in advance.

Frequently asked questions

What does YYMA's travel consent form include?

A formatted PDF with the parent/guardian, minor, escort, travel dates, mode of travel, and emergency contact you enter, plus a notary acknowledgment block ready for signing. The Bilingual Pack adds the same content in Spanish as a second PDF.

Do I have to use a notary to sign it?

The form is set up to be notarized. Many airlines, cruise lines, and border officials look for a notarized parental consent when a minor is traveling without one or both parents — but each carrier and destination has its own rules. You can have it notarized in person by any commissioned notary or use YYMA's optional Remote Online Notarization add-on.

Can YYMA notarize it online (RON)?

Yes. Add Remote Online Notarization at checkout. You connect with a Florida-commissioned notary by video; the signer can be in any of the 50 states.

How long is the form valid?

The form references the specific travel dates and destination you enter. Most families execute a fresh form for each separate trip rather than reusing an older one.

Do both parents have to sign?

YYMA's form supports single-parent or dual-parent signatures. Some destinations and carriers prefer to see both parents' signatures, especially for international travel with one parent. Check with your destination and airline in advance — they'll tell you what they look for.

What about an apostille?

An apostille is a separate authentication that some countries request for foreign-issued notarized documents. YYMA can help process an apostille for documents notarized in Florida as a separate service — contact us after signing if you need one.

Is YYMA a law firm?

No. YYMA Notary Services LLC is a non-attorney document preparation service. We don't provide legal advice. If you need advice about custody, immigration, or travel arrangements, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction.
