About Child Travel POA
With a child travel POA, a minor can travel from Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE with an adult who is not their parent or legal guardian. It is usually needed whenever neither parent is on the trip, and some countries make it a formal requirement.
The document sets out who may travel with the child, where to and for how long, and lets that adult deal with airline and immigration staff for the parents. We keep the wording precise so it is easy to check at the airport, and the powers listed below are examples rather than a full list.
Powers you can assign
- Accompany the child on flights and sea journeys
- Represent the child’s father or guardian with immigration and airlines
- Name the accompanying adult
- State the destination and travel dates
- Give consent for medical care during the trip
- Allow border crossings
- Allow passport or visa applications
- Cover return or onward travel

Child Travel POA
Your questions,
answered.
What does a child travel POA do?
It is a legal document in which the parents or legal guardians allow an adult they trust, for example a nanny, relative or guardian, to accompany their minor child on a trip. It is used when the parents are not travelling, whether the journey is within the country or abroad.
When does a child need a travel POA?
It is needed when a child under 18 travels on their own or with someone who is not their parent. It may be requested by airlines, immigration officers or embassies, particularly on international trips, to avoid disputes and stop minors being moved without permission.
Who can be named as the accompanying adult?
It can be any legally competent adult the parents or guardians trust to act in the child’s best interests during the trip, for example a nanny, a family friend, a close relative or an appointed guardian.
What details must a child travel POA contain?
It should give the child’s full name, nationality and passport or Emirates ID details, the details of both parents or guardians including their names, and who the accompanying adult is, how they are related to the child and their personal details. It must also state the purpose, destination and exact travel dates, any specific permissions such as medical consent or border crossings, the signatures of both parents and official notarization.
Does a child travel POA need notarization and attestation?
Yes, both are mandatory. For use in the UAE, a UAE notary public must notarize it. For use abroad, it also needs attestation from MOFA, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and, where required, from the destination country’s embassy or consulate.
Can expat parents in the UAE issue one for use in their home country?
Yes. It needs UAE notarization, a translation into the language of the destination country if required, and attestation by MOFA and that country’s embassy so that it is legally recognized there.
How quickly can a child travel POA be ready?
Once all documents are in order, we can usually draft and review it and arrange notarization within one to two working days. If it will be used abroad, attestation and embassy steps will add more time.
Do both parents need to sign?
Yes. A valid child travel POA should carry the signatures of both parents. If your family situation is unusual, we confirm who needs to sign before drafting.
Is a new POA needed for every trip?
Not necessarily. The POA can cover one trip or a set period, as long as it clearly states how long it is valid and the travel dates.
Will airlines accept a notarized consent?
A notarized, bilingual consent is widely accepted. It is still worth checking your airline’s own rules before you fly.
