Imagine arriving at the airport, only to be told your child can’t board their flight because of a missing notarized consent form.
Your bags are packed. The itinerary is set. But your child’s trip—and peace of mind—is suddenly at risk.
Unfortunately, this happens more often than you'd think. Airlines and immigration officials frequently require a notarized Travel Consent Form for children traveling without both parents.
The good news? You don’t have to navigate it alone.
This document grants permission for a minor under 18 to travel:
✔️With one parent (especially in shared custody situations)
✔️With a relative, guardian, or school group
✔️Or alone, domestically or internationally
Most airlines require notarized signatures for this form. It's not just a suggestion—it’s a vital safeguard to avoid travel delays, denied boarding, or worse.
At 3:57 a.m., a concerned mother called me. Her teenage son was at LAX, ready to board a flight to Belize with his father. But the airline wouldn’t let him board without a notarized letter of consent from her—the non-traveling parent. She hadn’t known. She was panicked.
I arrived at the terminal within minutes, notarized the document curbside, and ensured her son made the flight. What could’ve been a heartbreaking missed opportunity became a powerful reminder: being prepared changes everything.
