Any juvenile who receives permission from their parent or legal guardian to travel domestically or internationally with an individual, group, or organization can use a permission letter for child travel.
It is preferable if both parents sign the consent document, but one (1) is adequate. As a template for your permission letter, use our sample permission letter for a child to travel with a friend.
