domestic travel w/14 yo
I will be traveling next summer with my grandson, who will by then be
14 yo. We are going from OR to DC, NYC, Phil., not leaving the country. Have checked state dept and several airline sites for info needed ID, travel permission docs, medical permission docs, etc. Obviously, once we have airline tix I will check directly with the airline, but am trying to determine if I need to carry written permission from his parents to travel with him. I also believe I should have an authorization to provide medical consent. I have looked for info and forms online, but everything I see relates to international requirements. Years ago when my son was this age I remember haing some preprinted forms which I provided to his grandparents. Any ideas? |

am trying to determine if I need to carry written
permission from his parents to travel with him I'm not sure if you'll really need that for domestic travel, but forms like that are usually called something like "Temporary Guardianship Authorization". The parents can fill it out and then get it notarized. Here are some examples: http://www.theaterofthesea.com/autho..._care_form.htm http://www.free-legal-document.com/f...ship-form.html Also the reference desk at your public library might have some on file that you could Xerox, or maybe your local probate court.

James Thx.. I will check those out Check with your grandson's pediatrician. He/she should have current information. I think the med authority should be all you need since it's your own grandson. Outside the airports, you won't really run into authorities, which is very unlike foreign travel. Keith |

You will be a grandparent, acting 'in loco parentis' - and really do not
require any authorisation. Should any doubt exist in an emergent medical situation his parents will be able to be contacted easily, surely. The bumph is taken to foreign countries because contact back home is sometimes difficult. "Carole Allen" wrote in message ...

How much effort is it to have the kid's parents write a letter and sign it, and notarize it? That's what I did when I took my 16-year-old nephew to Croatia and Bosnia. The State Dept. website does say to do it. It wasn't ever asked for, but it made me feel more comfortable in a post-9/11, baby-snatching world. International travel is the big deal, because as you know, relatives do snatch kids in custody battles. As I was reminded, a teenager (taller than me) is old enough to raise a fuss if he or she is being abducted. It helps to have the same last name. |
