Who signs a parent travel consent form for a minor?

I have just got a parent travel consent form online for use for my 17-year-old travelling alone from the UK to Croatia for a week’s volunteer teen project this summer. Who would I need to get to witness and sign?

The consent letter should contain the full name, date of birth, passport number (if applicable), address, and contact details such as phone and email for BOTH parents, and the same full details for each child that is to travel.

If the child will be travelling with someone who is not a parent, the full details as above should also be provided for that person. You can of course use a form if Croatia has one available.

Then both parents must add the travel details — dates, where the child will be staying, ticket numbers, return details — and their express consent for travel.

Both parents should sign and print their names with the date of signing below. There is no need to have it notarised or apostilled unless specifically required by the country.

Croatia does in fact require the letter to be notarised, but it does not need to be translated from English.

I understand the importance of ensuring the travel consent form is properly signed. Who will be accompanying your 17-year-old on this trip?

She is travelling alone — at the airport in the UK with mum, then flying alone, then greeted in Croatia by the adult volunteer manager.

Will the volunteer teen project organisation require any specific signatures or documentation for this travel consent form?

The project wants parent consent. The airline or border control — I want her to be able to show parent consent.

Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your parent travel consent form.

No thank you.

Hi Lea.

I see that your daughter needs a consent letter to travel to Croatia. Do both parents have parental responsibility?

I’ve downloaded a form filled in with myself and her dad and parent consent to travel. As a 17-year-old, should she carry this for flying alone with Jet2 to Croatia and back? Should it be witnessed and signed — who and how?

Yes, divorced parents living apart but co-parent, both responsible equally.

Her surname is her dad’s surname, not mine.

OK, thank you, that helps. Is that any English solicitor?

Lea

Lea

Yes, any solicitor that is authorised to notarise.

Thank you, this is very helpful.
