Document background
The Divorced Parent Travel Consent Form is a critical legal document required under Swiss law when a divorced parent wishes to travel internationally with their minor child(ren). This document becomes particularly important in the context of Switzerland's strict child protection laws and its obligations under international treaties, including the Hague Convention. The form serves multiple purposes: it provides explicit authorization from the non-traveling parent, helps prevent international child abduction, and ensures compliance with border control requirements. The document typically includes comprehensive travel details, medical authorizations, and emergency contact information, while adhering to specific requirements of Swiss federal and cantonal legislation regarding parental authority post-divorce. It is designed to be recognized by international authorities while maintaining compliance with Swiss legal standards.
