Travel consent for a minor
Bilingual parental consent for children travelling abroad – drafted online, signatures certified by the notary, apostilled where required.
Signing with the notary1–3 business days
Border authorities in the USA, South Africa, Brazil and many other countries expect a certified consent when a child travels with one parent or a third person. Enter the travel details; we prepare a bilingual declaration, the notary certifies the parents’ signatures, and the document is delivered in time for departure. Every application is reviewed by the notary, who decides the appropriate route for your document and destination; if a request cannot be fulfilled, we tell you before you pay.
Good to know: The notary identifies the parents and witnesses the signatures.
