The travel permission declaration a minor needs to leave Spain without either parent is free from the Policía Nacional and the Guardia Civil: you do not need DocMuse for it, and this letter does not replace it. This Spanish authorisation is for parents who entrust their child to a grandparent, relative, teacher or group for a trip within Spain, or let the child travel with one parent only. It names the companion, the dates and the destination; the parents sign it, attach a copy of their ID, and the child carries it. In Spanish.

Common questions
- Is this authorisation enough for a minor to leave Spain without either parent?
- No. A minor leaving Spain without either parent carries a DNI or passport and the travel permission declaration (declaración de permiso de viaje fuera del territorio nacional): the form is downloaded from the Policía Nacional or Guardia Civil website and signed in person at a police station or Guardia Civil post, with the family book. That step is free. This authorisation goes with it, and is enough on its own for trips within Spain.
- Who signs the Spanish travel authorisation if the parents are separated?
- Whoever exercises parental authority (patria potestad). Under the Spanish Civil Code the parents exercise it jointly even after separation or divorce, unless a court order says otherwise (article 156). If one parent exercises it alone, that parent signs alone, leaves the second block blank, and should carry a copy of the court order. Each signer attaches a copy of their DNI, NIE or passport.
- Do airlines and rail companies in Spain ask for more when a minor travels without the parents?
- Each carrier sets its own conditions for minors travelling alone or with other adults: some airlines and rail companies offer a paid escort service or have their own authorisation form, which is free. Before buying the ticket, check their conditions and, if the carrier has its own form, use it. This authorisation proves the parents’ consent to anyone else.
