INSTRUCTIONS FOR
PARENTAL/GUARDIAN APPROVAL FOR
MINOR TO TRAVEL AND MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION
If one legal parent is traveling outside the United States with a
minor child, this form should be signed by the legal parent that is
not traveling.
If a minor child is traveling outside the United States with someone
other than either legal parent, BOTH legal parents should sign this
form.
If one or both legal parents are deceased, a certified death
certificate should be attached to this form. If one of the legal
parent’s whereabouts is unknown, a separate affidavit stating such
is suggested.
Note: Most countries do not require these forms, but we feel that it is in the best interest of the
traveling parent, the absent parent, and child to have the information available to authorities. In any
case, the medical instructions are a good idea. It is the traveler’s ultimate responsibility to verify entry
and exit requirements of all destinations. This is not to be construed as legal advice and is only to be
considered a best practice.
