Question On Minor Children Please?

[SUGARSHACKER]

I know I have seen someone have a document on getting permission for minor children from parent to bring kids on cruises. I would appreciate if anyone can help me with this, I can type up my own document but if there is one already out there then I can use it. I am planning on taking my 12 y/o grand daughter on a cruise in October and need to get everything in order. Thanks for any

information in advance. Sharon

You can type it up giving permission to travel out of the country and obtain medical help if needed. This should be signed by both parents.

Question: If only parent is going do you need a letter from the other parent? What if the other parent is overseas in the service or don't know where he/she is or possible dead?

This is the requirement for applying for a passport with one parent missing. Hope this helps.

 

One parents appears, signs, and submits primary evidence of sole authority to apply (such as one of the following):

• Child's certified U.S. or foreign birth certificate (with translation, if necessary) listing only applying parent; or
  
• Consular Report of Birth Abroad (Form FS-240) or Certification of Birth Abroad (Form DS-1350) listing only applying parent; or
  
• Court order granting sole custody to the applying parent (unless child's travel is restricted by that order); or
  
• Adoption decree (if applying parents is sole adopting parent); or
  
• Court order specifically permitting applying parent's or guardian's travel with the child; or
  
• Judicial declaration of incompetence of non-applying parent; or
  
• Death certificate of non-applying parent.

If you go to the Cruise Diva website, type 'Permission Letter' in the search box you will find the form you need. It includes permission for medical treatment in an emergency. It needs to be notarized.:)

[owayhappy]

Please also note that any parent who shares visitations with the other parent, this post applies to you. You must also have a letter from the ohter parent allowing you to travel with your children.

 

I also wanted to add something towards Patsy's post regarding the documents needed to apply for a minor childs passport. You may also submit a notarized letter from the other parent authorizing you to obtain a passport for the minor child(ren) but please keep in mind you need an original copy to be sent in with each application.

I just want to thank everyone for your quick response to my question. I have been here long enough that I know I can find a answer to anything. I do like

these forms and says pretty much what I was going to type. Thanks again and everyone have a happy year with a cruise added to make you happy.

So, in my sister case, who is not using a passport just a birth certificate. Will she need permission from the dad?

 

Actually, he is deadbeat somewhere an owe child support. She has not talked to him since she was 5 months preg.

 

What if he won't sing a permission for the child? Do she really need it?

When I talked to Carnival they said no.

good website by a poster on this board that has info re this...http://www.seauonboard.com click cruise 101 and a link is down on the left

If you have sole custody of the child, then you need not worry. My X visaits when he wants, RARELY. But he does pay child support. I did bring my court papers just in case there was a question. I have a different last name, as I am remarried. They did ask my son if I was his mom, but I think they were kidding.

Go here and select a form, just remember that it should be noterized:
