U.S. citizen children traveling abroad
Many countries have security measures to prevent kidnapping. If you are traveling alone with your child, you may have to show proof you are the parent or legal guardian. You may also need a letter of permission from the other parent for your child to travel.
If your child travels alone, some countries require a notarized letter from the parents or legal guardian. If a minor is traveling abroad and is not going with both parents or a legal guardian, contact the embassy or consulate of the country and ask about travel rules for that country.
