Planning an international trip for your child can be incredibly exciting. However, if your child is traveling abroad alone, with only one parent, with a step-parent, or with an authorized chaperone (like a grandparent or school group), border patrol agencies work diligently to prevent international child abduction.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) guidelines, presenting a properly executed, notarized Travel Consent Letter is strongly recommended to avoid severe boarding delays or being turned away at the gate.
We built this quick-reference guide to help Delaware families easily navigate the strict logistics, gather the right credentials, and prep their paperwork perfectly before the notary arrives.
