Child Travel Power of Attorney

Written consent and authority for a child’s travel when a parent or guardian cannot attend.

Travel consent that airlines and offices accept

Airlines, embassies and immigration offices sometimes ask for written consent when a child travels without one parent, or with another adult. A notarised document can show that the parent agrees.

The wording depends on the trip and on what the destination asks for. We prepare it to suit and confirm the receiving office’s expectations first.

What you will need to start

  • Passport and Emirates ID of the parent or guardian
  • Child’s passport details and birth certificate
  • Details of the accompanying adult
  • Travel dates and destination
  • Any wording the airline or embassy has asked for

What the document can cover

The powers are set to the task you actually need done. Anything not listed is not given.

  • Consent for a named child to travel with a named adult
  • Authority to apply for a travel document or visa
  • Collecting or handling documents for the trip

How the process works

  1. Confirm the trip and requirements. We note the destination and dates, and ask what the airline, embassy or immigration office wants to see.
  2. Prepare the details. We match the child’s passport details and the accompanying adult’s details to their documents.
  3. Draft and review. We prepare the consent wording and send it to you for approval.
  4. Notarise. The parent or guardian signs before a notary public with original identity documents.
  5. Translate, attest and deliver. If the destination needs it, we arrange translation and attestation, then give you the original to carry.

What to check before you sign

  • The trip details and dates are right
  • The receiving authority accepts this kind of consent
  • Both parents’ positions are considered where relevant
  • The document is recent enough
