the notarized letter and stuff needed is for minors that are not your kids, relatives that are minors traveling without their parents and kids traveling with 1 parent when there is divorce and custody instructions.

ex: no permission needed if they are YOUR minor children and there is no divorce/custody arrangement.

Andrea, are you sure about that? It was my husband, not ex-husband, and father to our son, who was taking him to Canada about four or five years ago. He was stopped at the ticket counter, and asked for proof that I approved him taking our son out of the country. There was no custody or other issues whatsoever, and I'm not sure how an airline would know that there was anyway, unless they were alerted by the other parent. As I said, I happened to go inside with him to say good bye, and the ticket agent told us point blank had I not been there, and without notarized authorization, they would not have let our son leave the country with his dad. Maybe the agent was wrong, but personally, I'd get the form signed and notorized by the other parent for smoother sailing.
