Document background
The Notary Letter For Minor Travel is a crucial document required when minors travel without both parents or legal guardians in Germany and internationally. This document, governed by German law, particularly the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB) and Beurkundungsgesetz, serves as official authorization for the minor's travel. It becomes necessary in various situations, such as school trips, family vacations with single parents, or travel with other authorized adults. The letter must be notarized by a German notary and typically includes comprehensive details about the minor, parents/guardians, accompanying adults, travel itinerary, and scope of authorization. It's designed to prevent child abduction, ensure proper authorization for travel, and facilitate smooth passage through immigration and border controls while complying with international travel requirements and child protection regulations.
