Drafting and Notarization of A Consent Letter to Travel
What Is A Consent Letter to Travel?
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade recommends that if a person younger than 18 is travelling alone or with only one parent or another adult, they have their parents' consent for such travel.
A notarized letter of consent to travel is proof of such consent.
A notary public can draft and/or notarize this consent document for you.
Who Must Attend the Notary Public's Office?
The parent(s) granting consent must attend the notary public's office with valid photo identification.
More Information
Please note that other documents may be required in addition to notarized consent documents. Visit the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's website before you travel to ensure that you have all of your necessary documentation. http://www.voyage.gc.ca/main/before/faq/children_travel-en.asp#2
