Any trip abroad by a minor without even one parent is a challenge and a cause for concern for the whole family. Is consent from the second parent required, in which country might it be requested, and how should it be drafted?
If a minor travels frequently, including without parents, the issue can be resolved thoroughly: a notarized parental consent can be prepared allowing the child to travel abroad alone or accompanied by one parent, listing the maximum number of countries and setting the maximum validity period—up to adulthood. The consent should be translated into English and apostilled for certainty. It is advisable to also include the child’s birth certificate and parents' passports, all translated into English and apostilled.
BUT let us clarify: from the legal standpoint, this is an excessive measure and justified only for frequent solo travel. What is required under Georgian law—read below.
