About this template
What is this template?
This is a simple authorization form for a minor's travel and medical care. It is not a formal power of attorney or a permanent custody agreement. It contains a specific release of liability for the companion and a mandate to carry specific identification documents.
When should you use it?
Use this when a child is traveling without both parents, such as with a grandparent or school group. Use a Child Medical Consent form instead if the child is staying stationary with a caregiver rather than traveling.
What's inside
