What this child travel authorization does
The Children Child Traveling With One Parent Or CBP Info Center Form is a written consent record for a child traveling with one parent or another accompanying adult. It identifies the child, traveling adult, nontraveling parent or guardian, destination, travel dates, and contact details, then records the required authorization. With signNow, a sender uploads the document, places or confirms fillable fields, assigns each signer, and sends invitations. Signers review the trip information, provide consent, and sign electronically. The completed file and audit trail can then be stored for presentation or review.

Structured fields

Protect personal information during child travel consent
A child’s passport details, birth date, and itinerary may remain visible to recipients who do not need every field. A parent may sign without a clearly recorded consent disclosure or without understanding how the electronic record will be stored. Sending the form to the wrong parent, guardian, or travel coordinator can expose family information and weaken attribution. Shared inboxes and unrestricted downloads can give unauthorized people access to signed travel authorization records.
Check state rules and document exclusions
Border or agency rejection
ESIGN exception applies
Electronic record may not replace filing
Separate acknowledgment rules apply
Platform requirements for signing
Prepare the Children Child Traveling With One Parent Or CBP Info Center Form through a supported browser using TLS-protected access, or review and sign through signNow mobile apps on iOS and Android.
Supported browsers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge Desktop systems Windows and macOS desktops Mobile access iOS and Android mobile apps
Organizations handling passport details, birth dates, and itineraries should use managed devices, restricted accounts, and controlled downloads. Confirm that the selected browser, operating system, and signNow plan support the authentication, storage, and audit-trail settings required by the travel policy.
Legal standing and limits of electronic consent
Under ESIGN, 15 U.S.C. chapter 96, and applicable state electronic-transactions law, an electronic signature can have legal effect when intent, consent, attribution, and record retention are established. UETA generally governs intrastate transactions, while New York uses ESRA. These rules do not guarantee acceptance by CBP, an airline, a border officer, or a state agency, and exceptions include certain family-law decrees and court filings.
Troubleshooting child travel authorization signing
Resolve field, invitation, plan, legal-acceptance, and recordkeeping questions before presenting the authorization for travel review.
Upload the original PDF again and inspect whether fields are flattened, scanned, or positioned outside the page boundary. signNow can place fields after upload, but a sender should verify every child, parent, date, destination, and signature field before sending.
Open the invitation using the original email or signing link, then complete any configured SMS verification. If access still fails, the sender should confirm the recipient address and resend the request from the signNow document workspace.
Business includes legally binding eSignatures, audit trails, templates, and mobile apps at $8/user/month with annual billing. It includes 100 signature invites per user per year; additional invite charges may apply.
Business Premium is $15/user/month with annual billing and adds bulk send and kiosk mode. Those features can help when an organization prepares many child authorization records, but each record still needs accurate trip-specific information.
signNow is ESIGN and UETA compliant, but the form’s acceptance depends on the receiving agency, border officer, state law, and any notarization or in-person requirement. Verify those requirements before relying on an electronic signature for travel.
Use signNow’s audit trail and certificate of completion with the signed authorization. The record should show signer attribution, timestamps, delivery history, and document activity; retain it according to the applicable travel policy and agency instructions.
