Child Travel Consent Form UAE to India: Template for Indian Families
This child travel consent form UAE to India template is for Indian parents in the UAE whose child flies to India without one or both of them, for example with grandparents. The parent who stays behind signs it before a notary. Copy the wording below.
PrivateNotaryDubai.com has in-house, in person notary public services, online notary public services and home visit private notary services. We check the letter against the passports and order the Arabic translation.
In short
- Price: from AED 1,200, plus the government fee on top at cost.
- Who signs: each parent who is not on the flight. If neither parent travels, both sign.
- What to attach: copies of the child's passport, your passport and Emirates ID, and the travelling adult's passport.
Three ways to get it notarised
In person with our in-house notary public
Bring your original passport and Emirates ID. The notary public checks both, confirms you agree, watches you sign and applies the seal.
Home or office visit
We come to your home or office.
Online
Remote notarisation runs through the official UAE channels, the Ministry of Justice e-notary or Dubai Courts remote. Ask us first if this letter can go that way. See the e-notary guide.

The wording
Filling it in: the details that cause trouble
UAE to India
- The child's name: copy it exactly from the child's Indian passport, including any surname the passport shows.
- Dates: if the return is not fixed, write "on or about" a date.
- Language: airlines usually read English. A Dubai notary will want an Arabic translation beside it (Dubai Law No. 4 of 2013, Article 27). See legal translation.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is there an official child travel consent form India PDF?
Families usually write their own letter. The sample wording on this page covers the details officers usually look for, and you can download it as a PDF or Word file.
My husband is in India. Can he sign there instead?
Yes, before a notary in India. A UAE office may then want it legalised in India and attested here, so it is often simpler for the parent in the UAE to sign here.
Does the Indian mission need to see this letter?
No. For a child's Indian passport application or renewal, the mission's own forms apply instead.
Do I need one letter for each child?
One letter can name several children who travel together. List each child's passport details.
