Parental Consent Forms for Minor Children

travelling without parent(s)

Should a child be traveling across borders or even locally for a once-off excursion with a school or
organization, you can use the stand-alone attached parental travel consent forms:

“AUTHORIZATION FOR FOREIGN TRAVEL WITH MINOR”

“AUTHORIZATION FOR MINOR'S MEDICAL TREATMENT”

At times it may be impossible to get hold of parents in an emergency situation, so your authorization
forms granting permission to authorize medical treatment can prevent serious delays (or simply issue
a separate parental medical consent form in the case of the child being looked after by a child
minder).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• These forms should be notarized, but you should not sign them beforehand since the public
notary or commissioner of oath must witness your signature. Make sure to take all
identification documents along - your own as well as your child's (e.g. birth certificate Note: if
one parent on the birth certificate of the child is deceased you should provide a certified copy
of the death certificate)

• If the child's surname is different from the parent you may need a marriage certificate, name
change document, adoption papers etc. to prove the relationship

• The organizers of an excursion, field trip or sports tour will usually issue their own forms
requesting information as well as indemnifying them against claims. If you do not agree with or
understand any particular clause you should take it up with them. If they do not ask for details
such as allergies or current medication you should add it as a footnote or as an (attached)
addendum. If you know your child's blood group you can add that too.

• A parent may need these parental travel consent forms from the other parent if he / she does
not have legal custody or even if they have joint legal custody

• If a parent does have sole legal custody, he / she should have a certified copy of the court
document when traveling across international borders

• To avoid administrative hassles during an emergency you should attach a copy of your
Medical Aid or Health insurance to your Free Temporary Guardianship Form

• Make sure you initial wherever details are filled in or wherever alterations are made with full
signatures at the end

• Witness signatures must be by independent persons and not by anybody listed on the free
temporary guardianship form / agreement
