You can obtain a travel consent letter from the airline, , cruise ship, travel agency, or you can find a sample online. Basically, the letter will State that you are giving permission to one or more people to take your child outside of the country. The letter should include travel dates, your name, the name of the child, the person the child will travel with, the country the child will travel too, passport numbers, and the return date. You will want to put as much information as possible include the airline information.
The travel consent letter will need to be signed and notarized by the person giving permission. Once the document has been notarized, it can then be mailed in to our office for processing.
