Parents Consent

Argentinean children under the age of 18 travelling by themselves, with only one parent, or with a third party must obtain a legalized Parents’ Consent from the Consulate of Argentina. For that purpose both parents must sign a form. Parents must prove their identity and parenthood of the underage child. An Original birth certificate must accompany the application.

 

Once in Argentina, you will need to certify the Consul´s signature at the Argentinian Foreign Affairs Office (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores) at Esmeralda 1212, Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Phone: 4819 7000

 

If your place of residence is not in NSW or is too faraway from Sydney, then you will need to write a letter of Consent signed by both parents before a Public Notary (Justice of Peace or solicitors signatures will not be accepted). Translation to spanish will also be needed. The letter of consent before a Public Notary must be legalised with the “Apostille” Stamp issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. No further authentication will be needed to make the document valid in Argentina.
