If a minor under the age of 14, with an Italian travel document, is to travel abroad accompanied by a person other than their parents, or entrusted to the personnel of an airline, a Declaration of Accompaniment is required, stating the name of the person, entity or transportation company acting as the escort. The Declaration of Accompaniment will be valid for a maximum of 6 months, for a single round trip with a specified destination.
The declaration will be issued by post. In this case, the minor’s parents have to submit the following:
- copy of the identity documents of both parents;
- copy of an Italian identity document of the minor, valid for expatriation;
- copy of an identity document of the accompanying person, valid for expatriation;
- relevant form, completed and signed by both parents;
- Pre-franked envelope complete with the address at which you wish to receive the foster care declaration.
The documents must be sent to:
Consulate of Italy - Notary Office
The Chancery, 2nd floor
58 Spring Gardens - II Floor
M2 1EW - Manchester
IMPORTANT! If either parent is a non-EU citizen (including British citizens), they will be contacted to notarize their signature, an assessment for which they may have to present themselves at the Consulate’s counters in person.
