Do Travel Consent Letters Need to Be Notarized?
Legally, a travel consent letter does not need to be notarized.
However, both Canadian and U.S border services highly recommend that you notarize it.
This is because, when your child is at a border crossing, officers will judge whether or not your child is ok. If they have any concerns, they will begin an investigation. A notarized travel consent letter shows them the letter is authentic so they know your child is ok.

If the child is not travelling with either parent/guardian, then both parents/guardians need to sign the letter.
