Traveling with Kids This Summer? Don’t Forget These Passport Rules

Summer is peak season for family travel—but if you’re heading abroad with children, you’ll want to brush up on the rules. Child passports are only valid for five years, and both parents must consent to the application or renewal.

Traveling solo with your child? Some countries require a notarized letter from the absent parent, and you may need additional documentation to prove custody or parental consent.

Avoid being stopped at the border by preparing early with valid US passports and the necessary travel documents as needed (depending on your destination).
