By law any minor (under 18 years of age) traveling internationally must have a guardianship form completed if:
They are traveling without one or both parents.
- The parent staying home and the parent traveling must complete the form. The traveling parent should be designated as the child's guardian for the duration of the trip.
- If both parents are not traveling, they must complete the form and designate another adult traveler as the child's legal guardian for the duration of the trip.
- If one or both parents are deceased, a copy of the death certificate(s) must accompany the guardianship form, along with the evidence of sole custody or legal guardianship.
- If BOTH parents are traveling with the child, the guardianship form IS NOT necessary!
Each form MUST be completed and notarized!
The guardian/parent and the child must keep the original completed and notarized copy while traveling. Please send a copy to the Operation Serve International® home office.
Please do not hesitate to contact our office if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Operation Serve International®
