Q: What documents are needed if a child is traveling with grandparents, aunts/uncles or unrelated adults?

A: Notarized consent from the both parents. Generally best if it notes the exact dates of travel and the basic itinerary.

Also be certain to have a notarized Power of Attorney for medical consent for each child.
