What if one parent is unreachable?

We can draft an affidavit explaining the circumstances (e.g. court order awarding sole custody) and provide certified translations of supporting documents (court order, divorce decree). Some destinations accept this; some require a court order specifically authorizing travel.

How fast can you turn it around?

Most child-travel consents are notarized same-day. Apostille takes 5–10 business days standard, 2–3 days rush. Plan ahead — many last-minute trips are saved by our 6-hour rush apostille service.

What is child travel consent?

When a minor (under 18 in most jurisdictions) travels internationally without one or both parents, the airline and the destination border control may require a notarized parental consent letter. This document protects against international child abduction concerns and confirms the absent parent's permission for the trip. We provide multilingual templates, notarize via RON, and add apostille or embassy legalization for the destination country.
