Traveling with children across borders can be an exciting experience — but for parents, guardians, or relatives, it comes with responsibilities. Whether your child is traveling with one parent, relatives, or even alone, you’ll often need a Child Travel POA or a Child Travel Consent Letter.
These essential documents are recognized across the UAE and internationally to prove that a parent or legal guardian has granted permission for a child to travel. Without proper documentation, airlines or immigration officers may deny boarding or entry.
At Notary Public in Dubai, we help you prepare and notarize these documents quickly and professionally, ensuring your child’s travel is smooth, secure, and fully authorized.
1. Understanding Child Travel POA and Consent Letters
A Child Travel POA or Child Travel Consent Letter serves as a formal declaration that authorizes a minor to travel with someone else or alone.
While the purpose of both is to establish parental consent, there are subtle differences:
- Child Travel POA: A Power of Attorney grants limited authority to another adult (like a relative or guardian) to act temporarily on behalf of a parent concerning the child’s travel or related matters.
- Child Travel Consent Letter: A simple written declaration from the parent or guardian granting permission for the child to travel with another person, specifying destinations and dates.
Both are crucial for parents who cannot accompany their children and want to ensure that travel authorities recognize proper consent.
2. Why These Documents Are Important
Many parents underestimate the importance of these documents until faced with a last-minute airport issue. Airlines and immigration authorities in and outside the UAE take child travel documentation seriously to prevent unauthorized travel or misunderstandings.
A valid Child Travel Consent Letter or Child Travel POA ensures:
- Smooth airport check-ins and border crossings
- Compliance with airline and immigration policies
- Protection for the child and accompanying adult
- Peace of mind for parents knowing travel consent is legally documented
Without one, your travel plans can be delayed or even canceled — especially for international trips. That’s why Notary Public in Dubai provides quick, accurate, and affordable solutions to prepare and notarize your child travel documents online or in person.
3. When Do You Need a Child Travel POA or Consent Letter?
There are many situations where a parent or guardian must prepare a travel consent or POA. Common examples include:
- Single-parent travel: When a child travels with one parent only, many airlines and countries require written consent from the other parent.
- Accompanied by relatives: When a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or family friend accompanies the child.
- Unaccompanied minors: When a child travels alone with airline assistance.
- Separated or divorced parents: To prevent disputes and demonstrate mutual consent.
- School trips: When schools organize international travel programs for students.
If any of these apply, preparing a proper Child Travel POA or Consent Letter through Notary Public in Dubai ensures full compliance with standard travel documentation requirements.
4. What Information Should Be Included
For your Child Travel Consent Letter or Child Travel POA to be accepted, it should include all the necessary details clearly and accurately. Missing or incorrect information can cause delays or rejection at airports.
Here’s what’s typically included:
- Child’s Details: Full name, date of birth, passport number
- Parent(s) or Guardian(s): Names, nationalities, passport numbers, contact details
- Accompanying Person: Name, relationship to child, passport details
- Travel Details: Destination, dates of departure and return, airline or flight number (if known)
- Purpose of Travel: Vacation, education, family visit, medical reasons, etc.
- Authorization Statement: Clear wording granting permission to travel
- Emergency Contact & Medical Consent: To allow the guardian or accompanying adult to handle any emergency
- Signatures: From parents or guardians, witnessed and notarized
