Apostille Korea has introduced an online agency service for parental travel consent forms, handling drafting, notarization and any required certification end to end so that parents whose child travels abroad can obtain a submission-ready document without visiting an office in person.
- The service covers parental travel consent forms for minors departing or staying overseas.
- Apostille Korea prepares the wording, arranges notarization and adds the matching certification.
- Where the destination requires it, the notarized consent is apostilled or legalized for use abroad.
- The whole process is handled online, removing the need for an in-person visit.
Why a parental travel consent is requested
When a minor travels abroad without one or both parents, airlines, immigration authorities and host institutions may ask for written proof that the absent parent or guardian agrees to the trip. A parental travel consent form provides that proof. Because the format and the level of authentication differ by destination, families often discover the requirement late and struggle to prepare it in time. Apostille Korea drafts the consent in the appropriate form, arranges notarization, and where the receiving country requires it, attaches an apostille for Hague Convention members or embassy legalization for non-members.
How the online agency service works
Rather than visiting a notary or government office, parents submit the trip details and identity documents online, and Apostille Korea prepares the consent, completes notarization and arranges the certification that matches the destination. A certified translation is added where the receiving authority requires the document in another language. By consolidating drafting, notarization, certification and translation in a single online flow, the company aims to help families produce a document that is accepted on the first submission, well before the departure date.
