Notarized Travel Consent Letters for Minors

Can this be notarized online?

Travel consent letters are commonly handled through a Remote Online Notary process. What varies is whether the destination country or airline accepts an electronically notarized letter, and whether they also require authentication such as an apostille.

What to prepare

• The child's full legal name and date of birth
• Travel dates, destinations, and the accompanying adult's details
• The consenting parent's or guardian's information
• Any form required by the airline, embassy, or destination country

What identification is needed

The consenting parent or guardian needs an unexpired government photo ID. Some destinations also want a copy of the child's birth certificate or passport included with the letter.

What happens during the process

1. Upload the letter and your travel details.
2. We review the request and confirm timing against your trip.
3. The consenting adult verifies identity.
4. The letter is signed and notarized in the online session.
5. You receive the completed electronic document securely.

What to know before you submit

• Requirements for documents used outside the United States vary and can include additional authentication steps.
• We cannot promise a foreign authority, embassy, or airline will accept any specific document.
• Start early — authentication steps outside notarization take extra time.

How to submit your document

Start your request on the online notarization intake. You'll tell us where you are physically located, describe the document and signers, and upload your file to private storage. Submitting a document does not guarantee that the document or transaction is eligible for Remote Online Notarization. iNotarize will review your request and provide the appropriate next steps.
