Travel Consent Form (International)

The travel consent form (international) permits the child, defined as under the age of 18 to travel internationally and to live or spend time outside Australia. It allows a person who has parental responsibility for the child and consents to the child travelling across international borders. Generally, those with parental consent are the parents named on the child’s birth certificate. This notifies authorities or other parties that a parent or legal guardian has given consent for international travel.
