It’s important to know what travel documentation is needed, especially when both parents aren’t accompanying their child, the child is traveling with adults other than parents or the child’s last name differs from the parent’s name. Here are some tips to help you navigate children’s travel.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Passports for Children</h4> <p>All U.S. citizens, including infants and children, must have a valid passport to travel internationally by air. Both parents must provide consent authorizing passport issuance for a minor under age 16.</p> <p>A passport card can be used for automobile and cruise ship travel to Canada and Mexico from the United States. However, AAA recommends that citizens of all ages use a passport for all international travel, in case of an emergency that requires U.S. reentry by air.</p> <p>Current passport holders should examine the passport expiration date, and if the document is due to expire within six months of travel, renew it. Passports are valid for ten years for adults and five years for children under age 16. Parents should carefully examine all passport and child travel documentation requirements at <a href="http://www.travel.state.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">travel.state.gov</a> or seek the assistance of a knowledgeable travel agent.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Cruising with Children</h4> <p>To eliminate children cruising alone, cruise lines generally require at least one adult age 21 or older to occupy every stateroom. This person needs to be the legal parent or guardian of any accompanying child. If a child is sailing with only one parent, other non-custodial adults or has a different last name than the responsible legal adult, cruise lines require a notarized letter of authorization to travel. For more information, visit the applicable cruise line website or a knowledgeable travel agent.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">International Solo Parent Travel</h4> <p>When visiting a foreign country, including Mexico and Canada, as a lone adult with a minor child under age 18, additional travel documentation is required. To help prevent cases of parental abduction and international child trafficking, many countries now require proof of the lone adult’s relationship to the child and the legal right to travel in and out of the country with that child. In addition to the child’s valid United States passport (and entry visa where required), a letter of permission from the absent parent(s) signed before a notary public is needed.</p> <p>The letter should include a statement of authorization for the child to travel, details of the trip, and legal names and contact information for the child and accompanying adult. Single parents, grandparents, stepparents, guardians and any adult with a last name different from the child needs to have the additional documentation to present at border crossings, airport immigration check points and cruise line check-in desks. A travel agent can assist in securing the appropriate documents.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Child Medical Care Authorization</h4> <p>When a child is traveling without a parent, receiving emergency medical care could be complicated or refused by a medical facility, unless the emergency is deemed life-threatening. The adult accompanying the child should carry a medical proxy, an original notarized letter from the non-traveling parent(s) granting permission to authorize emergency medical care for the child. The letter should include a permission statement, the child’s health insurance information, social security number and full legal names of the child and accompanying adults. If a child remains at home while a parent travels, this medical authorization documentation should be supplied to the child’s caregiver.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Children Flying Solo</h4> <p>Most airlines offer fee-based Unaccompanied Minor programs that facilitate air travel for children without an accompanying adult. Programs vary by airline, but most airlines require that an authorized adult escort the child to the departure gate and take custody of the minor child at the arrival gate. In flight, unaccompanied minors are under the care of the cabin crew.</p> <p>If planning an itinerary for a child traveling solo by air, carefully check age requirements, fees and all details for each airline you are considering. For example, some airlines require travel must be on a nonstop flight, while others might allow one or more stops if a plane change does not occur. Specific details of each airline’s program can be found on airline websites.</p> <p>AAA offers Flying Alone, a brochure to help parents plan for their child’s solo flight, which you can download below.</p> <p>To locate the nearest AAA Travel Agency, visit <a href="http://www.aaa.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AAA.com</a>.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-3 col-md-pull-9"> <div aria-label="sidebar" id="primary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">   <ul id="menu-travel-planning" class="secMenu"><li id="menu-item-2813" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page current-page-ancestor current-page-parent menu-item-2813"><a href="https://exchange.aaa.com/travel-planning/">Travel Planning</a></li> <li id="menu-item-2815" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-2815"><a href="https://exchange.aaa.com/travel-planning/air-travel/">Air Travel</a></li> <li id="menu-item-2808" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-has-children menu-item-2808"><a href="https://exchange.aaa.com/international-travel/">International Travel</a> <ul class="sub-menu"> <li id="menu-item-2812" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-2812"><a href="https://exchange.aaa.com/international-travel/international-clubs/">International Clubs</a></li> <li id="menu-item-2811" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-2811"><a href="https://exchange.aaa.com/international-travel/travel-advisories/">Travel Advisories</a></li> <li id="menu-item-2810" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-2810"><a href="https://exchange.aaa.com/international-travel/aaa-travel-services/">AAA Travel Services</a></li> <li id="menu-item-2809" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-2809"><a href="https://exchange.aaa.com/international-travel/customs-and-passports/">Customs and Passports</a></li> </ul> </li> <li id="menu-item-2814" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page current-menu-item page_item page-item-2799 current_page_item menu-item-2814"><a href="https://exchange.aaa.com/travel-planning/children-traveling-solo/" aria-current="page">Children Traveling Solo</a></li> </ul>  <aside role="none" id="media_image-5" class="widget-container widget_media_image"><a href="http://tourbook.aaa.com"><img width="576" height="384" src="https://exchange.aaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/AD_tourbook.jpg" class="image wp-image-2913 attachment-full size-full" alt="AAA TourBook Guide graphic with company logo and image of mountains" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /></a></aside><aside role="none" id="media_image-4" class="widget-container widget_media_image"><a href="http://aaa.com/mobile"><img width="330" height="330" src="https://exchange.aaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/app_web_ad_home_806x806-330x330.png" class="image wp-image-2912 attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail" alt="AAA Mobile App graphic with company logo" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://exchange.aaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/app_web_ad_home_806x806-330x330.png 330w, https://exchange.aaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/app_web_ad_home_806x806-600x600.png 600w, https://exchange.aaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/app_web_ad_home_806x806-100x100.png 100w, https://exchange.aaa.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/app_web_ad_home_806x806.png 806w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px" /></a></aside> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="fadeIn"> <footer> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div id="first" class="col-sm-6 oneThird fadeIn"> <div class="textwidget"><p>The AAA Exchange was designed to foster communication between AAA and the 65 million members it represents.
