Do both parents need to sign?

Generally yes. Single-parent custody (divorce/deceased/separated) can attach a court order, death certificate, or district record; the notary can attest a single signature.

Does it need an English translation?

We recommend drafting bilingually from the start — saves translation cost and is airport-ready.

How many trips does it cover?

Specify in the consent — 'single trip' or 'multiple trips until [date]'. Common validity is 6–12 months.

Which airlines mandate it?

Qantas, Jetstar, Emirates, Etihad, Singapore Airlines, Cathay, JAL, ANA, and all flights inbound to US/UK/AU.

What age triggers the requirement?

Under 18 (minor under Thai law). Some airlines require UM handling under age 15 with an extra fee.

AU/NZ/US/UK — no. A notarised Consent to Travel is airport-ready.

Details

Airlines and immigration worldwide require a notarised Consent to Travel for minors under 18 travelling with a non-parent adult or alone. We draft a bilingual Thai–English letter listing both parents' names and passport numbers, the child's name, travel dates, destination, and the accompanying adult. The notary verifies the child's birth certificate (to establish parentage), inspects the signing parent's passport, attests 'signed in my presence', and applies the embossed seal. Accepted by Qantas, Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, and by immigration in Australia, Japan, USA, and the UK.

Where you can use this
