The US Border Guard has issued recommendations for parents who travel with minor children.

Как сообщается on the website of the border service, the recommendations relate to the increasing frequency of cases when one spouse in a disputed situation kidnaps a child. The ministry claims that if a child before 18 years travels with only one parent, then you must have a letter from the second with you. Sample of such a letter published on the border service website.

If a minor child travels without parents, for example, with a school group, then it is also desirable for him to have such a letter with the consent of both parents. Otherwise, officers at the border can stop the child to make sure that both parents do not object to this trip. Also, as noted on the website of the border service, a letter from the parents will be useful when entering another country. And it is recommended to find out the exact rules on the website of the consulate of the country to which the child intends to go.

More recommendations include travel with babies up to one year old. In particular, if you intend to enter the United States by car, instead of the birth certificate of a child, a certificate from the hospital or a letter from the doctor stating the name of the child as well as the date and place of birth will be suitable. But when traveling by plane, US citizens must have a child's passport. An exception is made for permanent residents, refugees and persons granted political asylum.
