A notarized travel-consent letter for a child traveling without both parents — a notary comes to you.
When a minor travels without one or both parents — or with another adult — airlines, border agents, and destination countries often ask for a notarized parental or guardian consent letter. The notary confirms the signing parent's or guardian's identity and witnesses the signature.
What the letter must say, and whether one or both parents must sign, is set by the airline, the destination country, or the other parent. Confirm the specific requirement before you travel — a notarization witnesses the signature, it does not guarantee acceptance.
Travel-consent letters tend to come up close to a departure date. A mobile notary can meet the signing parent or guardian at home or at the office so the letter is ready before the trip.
Two things set the price, and both are itemized. Your state sets and caps the notarial act fee — the official per-signature charge, added at the visit. The notary sets a travel fee to come to you. You see the itemized price before you approve the booking — no "call for a quote." See what notaries can legally charge in your state →

That is set by the requesting party — the airline, border authority, or the other parent. The notary witnesses the signature, not the wording.
Usually only the signing parent or guardian, with valid ID. Confirm the specific requirement for your trip.
Requirements vary by airline and country. Confirm with them directly — notarization witnesses the signature but does not guarantee acceptance.
This page is general information, not legal advice. Whether a document needs notarization, and any witness or state-specific requirements, is set by the party requesting it or by your state — confirm with them or an attorney. A notary verifies identity and witnesses signatures; they do not prepare, interpret, or advise on documents.
