Permission to Travel Document – Embassy Legalization for Arab Countries

Authenticate Parental Consent & Travel Authorization Letters for Use in the Middle East and North Africa

The Arab American Chamber of Commerce (AACC)®, located in Washington D.C., provides complete legalization and embassy authentication services for Permission to Travel documents. If you're submitting a parental travel authorization letter for a minor or dependent traveling to or from an Arab country, the document must be properly notarized, authenticated, and legalized to be legally recognized abroad.

We handle the full process—so your permission letter is accepted by border authorities, immigration officials, and foreign embassies.

When Is a Travel Authorization Letter Required?

A Permission to Travel letter may be legally required when:

• 👶 A minor is traveling without both parents
  
  

• 👩‍👦 A child is traveling with one parent, guardian, or relative
  
  

• 🧑‍⚕️ A dependent adult travels with an escort or nurse
  
  

• ✈️ The traveler is on a school trip, study abroad, or summer program
  
  

• 🛂 Embassies or consulates require written parental consent for visa issuance
  
  

• 🏥 A child is traveling abroad for medical treatment
  
  

⚠️ Many Arab countries will deny entry or exit without a legalized consent letter when applicable.

What Should Be Included in a Permission to Travel Letter?

Your travel authorization must:

• ✅ Be written and signed by the legal parent(s) or guardian(s)
  
  

• 🖋 Be notarized in the U.S. by a commissioned notary public
