Document background
An Affidavit of Consent to Travel is a crucial document required when a minor child needs to travel internationally without one or both parents/legal guardians. Under Danish law and EU regulations, this document serves as official proof of parental consent and helps prevent child abduction while facilitating legitimate travel. The document must comply with the Danish Parental Responsibility Act, the Schengen Borders Code, and international treaties. It typically includes comprehensive details about the child, consenting guardian(s), travel plans, and emergency contacts. The affidavit requires proper authentication and may need certified translations for use in non-Danish speaking countries. This document is particularly important for school trips, family vacations with relatives, or situations where both parents cannot travel with the child.
