Has anyone had the embassy request an original letter of notarized consent for the minor to travel abroad from mother and father/ legal guardian if the applicant is traveling alone? Our children won't be traveling without one of us so I'm not sure if it applies to us or how to word the letter. This is for DTV, mine has already been approved.
Answer summary
The user inquires whether a notarized consent letter is required for a minor to travel abroad alone from their parents or legal guardians, specifically for DTV visa purposes. A comment from another user suggests that while they have always carried such a letter when traveling with their child, it was rarely requested by embassies or immigration authorities.

Had one for years when travelling with my son, embassies when applying for visas, immigration in many places airline counters never requested to see once. But always carried up to date one with me.
