Consent and Travel

Common Documents that may require Notarization (Documents for Domestic Use)

Action By Unanimous Consent of Directors

• This document is used by the board of directors of a corporation to take action without holding a formal meeting. It typically requires notarization to ensure the authenticity of the directors’ signatures.

Action By Written Consent

• Similar to the unanimous consent of directors, this document allows shareholders or members to take action without a meeting. Notarization is often required to validate the signatures.

Call Claim

• This document is generally used in legal or financial contexts where an individual makes a formal claim for something (e.g., insurance). Notarization ensures the legitimacy of the claimant’s identity and signature.

Claim Affirmation Form

• Used to affirm that a claim made is true and accurate. Notarization provides an additional layer of verification for the affirmation.

Consent for International Travel

• This form gives permission for a minor child to travel internationally with someone other than their parents or legal guardians. Notarization is usually required to confirm parental consent.

Consent for International Travel with one Legal Guardian

• Similar to the above but specifically for cases where only one legal guardian is giving consent. Notarization ensures that the consent is genuine and legally binding.

Medical Treatment Authorization for Minors Traveling Without Parents or Guardians

• This document authorizes another adult to make medical decisions on behalf of a minor while traveling without their parents or guardians. Notarization is crucial to verify parental authorization.

Notice of Oral Agreements (Optional)

Spousal & Spouse’s Consent

• Often used in financial transactions or estate planning where spousal consent is needed, such as selling jointly-owned property or taking out loans against shared assets. Notarization confirms that both spouses agree voluntarily.

Spousal Consent Form

• Similar in purpose to “Spousal & Spouse’s Consent,” this form also requires notarization to validate spousal agreement on specific matters like retirement benefits or property sales.

Statement of Consent (Optional)

• A general form used in various contexts where one party consents to certain actions taken by another party, often requiring notarization depending on its use case (e.g., medical procedures).
