Document background
The Letter of Consent to Travel with Grandparents is a crucial document required when grandparents wish to travel with their grandchildren without the parents present. Under Dutch law and EU regulations, this document helps prevent child trafficking and ensures proper authorization for minor travel. The letter typically needs to be notarized and may require translation for international travel. It's particularly important for travel within the Schengen Area and must comply with both Dutch Civil Code requirements and international travel regulations. The document should include comprehensive details about all parties involved, travel dates and destinations, emergency contact information, and medical authorization. This type of consent letter is increasingly required by airlines, immigration authorities, and border control agents, especially given heightened security measures around international child travel.
