Authorization for Minor to Travel

For a minor under the age of 18 to travel out of the United States without both parents or legal guardians, a notarized affidavit must be obtained and presented to immigration officials upon departure and return to the United States. Failure to present this affidavit may result in officials refusing to allow the minor to leave the country.

Please complete and sign the appropriate portion A or B in front of a Notary Public, and carry this Notarized affidavit with you. It is recommended that you also carry divorce, custody, death certificates or any other supporting documents.
