Travel Consent Letter Notarization & Apostille for Minors
If your child is traveling — by air, by land, or internationally — without both parents or without a legal guardian present, most airlines, border agents, and foreign authorities require a signed and notarized travel consent letter. If the letter will be used outside the United States, it also needs to be apostilled.
We prepare, notarize, and apostille travel consent letters for parents and legal guardians across all 50 states — in person in Pembroke Pines, FL, or remotely by video for clients who can't visit in person.
Do You Need Notarization Only, or an Apostille Too?
- Traveling within the U.S. — a notarized travel consent letter is usually enough.
- Traveling internationally — most foreign countries and airlines require the letter to also carry an apostille, which confirms the notarization is valid for use abroad.
Not sure which one applies to your trip? Call or message us and we'll tell you exactly what your airline or destination country requires.
Common Situations We Handle
- A child traveling with one parent, while the other parent is not present
- A child traveling with a grandparent, aunt/uncle, or family friend
- A child traveling with a school group, sports team, or camp chaperone
- A single parent with sole custody who needs proof of authorization
- Divorced or separated parents who need a consent letter as part of a custody agreement
How It Works
- Tell us your situation — who's traveling, who's granting consent, and the destination.
- We prepare the letter using the correct wording for your situation (domestic or international).
- Notarization — in person at our Pembroke Pines office, or remotely by secure video notarization if you're out of state or abroad.
- Apostille (if needed) — we file it with the state and return the apostilled document to you, physically by secure courier or digitally, depending on what your destination requires.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a travel consent letter need to be notarized every time?
Yes — most airlines and border authorities require the signature to be notarized, not just signed.
Can I get this done remotely if I'm not in Florida?
Yes. We offer remote online notarization by video for clients anywhere in the U.S. or abroad, so you don't need to visit our office in person.
How long is a travel consent letter valid?
Most are written for a single trip with specific dates, though we can prepare a letter valid for multiple trips over a longer period if needed.
What if the other parent won't sign?
We can still notarize a one-parent consent letter — some countries and airlines accept this, though requirements vary by destination. Ask us about your specific situation.
Do I need this in Spanish too?
We offer bilingual service and can prepare the letter in English, Spanish, or both, depending on where your child is traveling.
