I’m taking my daughter to the UK and France next month. Since my wife is not going with us, I’m assuming I’ll need proof of parental consent from her. Does UA have a specific form for this? I called today and the agent I spoke with said parental consent is only required for unaccompanied minors. However, the guidance on the USA.gov website seems to say otherwise:

“Ports of entry in many countries have security measures to prevent international child abduction. If you are traveling alone with your child, you may be required to present documentation proving you are the parent or legal guardian. You may also need a letter of permission from the other parent for your child to travel.”

I am planning to bring a notarized letter from my wife, but I don’t want to be denied boarding because that isn’t sufficient for some reason.
