What documentation is required for traveling alone with a child if the other parent has passed away?

@John *********

only you

@Ruth ******

but nobody seems to be acknowledging her existence

@John *********

SHE is his mother.

@Ruth ******

he is the father. He's on the birth certificate. The question is who else is on the birth certificate.

@John *********

Frozan is not the father but is a parent. I’ll let you figure out where the mother is. 🙂.

@Frozan ******

I'm even more confused now. Perhaps you should clarify relationships. Where is the mother of your son?

@John *********

I am on his birth certificate. We don’t have an official agreement for him to travel with me. I have his agreement, but it’s not a legal one. No, his partner has not adopted my son.

@Paulo ********

ok thank you!

@Frozan ******

Then you need a permission letter from your ex, whom you share custody with. Have them sign it in front of a notary and email or fax a copy to you.

Sorted.

Only slightly more complicated than the permission slip required to send your little schnookums on a school trip to the zoo.
