Notarize a Travel Consent for a Minor Over Zoom from China
International border agents and airlines often require a notarized travel consent letter from the non traveling parent before letting a minor board. We handle it on Zoom in time for your flight.
Why this is hard to DIY
- ! Customs and Border Protection (and equivalents abroad) can deny boarding without a properly notarized consent letter.
- ! Last minute travel is the norm. The consent needs to be in your hand before the flight.
- ! Both parents may need to sign on the same Zoom if both are non traveling.
What you get for $499
- ✓ A scheduled 30 minute Zoom session with a US commissioned notary.
- ✓ Pre flight document review so the wording, signature blocks, and jurat language pass on the first try.
- ✓ A US recognized notarized document, ready in under 24 hours.
- ✓ Template letter if you do not have one drafted.
- ✓ Optional paper original couriered to your recipient, quoted up front.
To start, we just need:
- → Names of the child, traveling parent, and non traveling parent.
- → Travel dates and destinations.
- → Photo of your US passport.
- → Number of signers on the document.
- → Your filing or closing deadline.
