Document background
The Letter of Consent to Travel is an essential document required when minors travel within or outside Pakistan without both parents present. This document becomes necessary in various situations, such as school trips, family visits, or travel with single parents or other guardians. It serves as a protective measure against child trafficking and abduction while facilitating legitimate travel. The letter must comply with Pakistani legal requirements and often needs to meet the standards of destination countries' immigration authorities. When properly executed, this consent letter helps prevent travel delays or denial of entry/exit and provides peace of mind to all parties involved. The document typically requires notarization and may need to be accompanied by supporting documentation such as birth certificates and passport copies.
