Do I need parental consent if I'm the only parent traveling with the kid?

Modified on Mon, Aug 19 at 2:16 PM

Traveling with a child as the only parent or guardian can sometimes require additional documentation to ensure the safety and legality of the trip.

  • Domestic Travel: Usually no parental consent needed, but carry proof of relationship.
  • International Travel: Obtain a notarized consent letter from the other parent or guardian, and check both airline and destination country requirements.

Always verify the specific requirements with the airline and relevant authorities before you travel to ensure you have the correct documentation.
