For a parent or legal guardian in Malta whose child is travelling abroad without them, or with only the other parent, a relative, a school or a friend: a signed consent naming the child, the passport, the destinations, the dates and the adult in charge, with your contact details. Carriers and border officers may ask to see one. It is not the consent for a child's passport, which Identità handles on its own form.

Common questions

Does a child leaving Malta need a parent's written consent to travel?
No Maltese form for it was found, but airlines, ferry operators and the border authorities of other countries may ask a child travelling without both parents to show one, so check with the carrier and the destination before you go. Each parent who is not travelling may sign their own consent. Carry it with a copy of the parent's ID card or passport.
Is this the consent Identità needs for a child's passport in Malta?
No. For a minor's passport, Identità's Passport Office uses its own consent form, Form I, signed in wet ink before a recommender, and it is free from Identità. This document is only for the journey itself, to show a carrier or a border officer that the parent who stays behind agrees to the trip.
Does the parent's signature on a travel consent in Malta need to be certified?
Only if the destination country or the carrier asks for it. Where they do, sign before a notary or another commissioner for oaths, who certifies the signature. Ask the embassy of the destination or the carrier what they accept before the trip.

Related documents

  • Power of attorney for a single matter (Malta)

    For someone in Malta who needs another person to act for them in one named matter only — collecting documents, dealing with a bank, a car transfer or a utility account while they are abroad: a special mandate under articles 1856 to 1864 of the Civil Code (Cap. 16) that names the matter, spells out each power, sets an end date and is accepted by the attorney's signature. Not for property deeds, wills or court cases.

  • Invitation letter for a visa (Malta)

    For someone living in Malta who is inviting a relative or friend from outside the Schengen area: a signed letter to the Maltese embassy, consulate or visa centre giving your details and status in Malta, the visitor's passport details, the purpose and dates of the visit, where they will stay, who pays, and your promise that they will leave on time. Check the consulate's own checklist first; the visitor sends it with the application.

  • Package holiday complaint (Malta)

    For a traveller whose package holiday — transport and accommodation, or other travel services, sold together — was not as booked. The letter tells the organiser that it is responsible for every service in the package under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations (S.L. 409.19), and claims a price reduction and compensation, with a total and 14 days to reply. The Malta Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority (MCCAA) explains package holiday rights free of charge. Send it by registered letter and keep the post office receipt.

  • Cancelling a gym or subscription contract (Malta)

    For a consumer in Malta who wants to end a gym membership or another subscription — a club, a streaming or delivery service, a course — at the end of its term, on the notice the contract asks for, or because the service was not provided as agreed. The letter ends the contract from a stated date and asks the trader to stop taking payments and confirm in writing. The contract's own terms govern how it ends, and a term that is unfair under the Consumer Affairs Act does not bind you. Send it by registered letter and keep the post office receipt.

  • Letter to an employer about unpaid wages (Malta)

    For an employee or former employee in Malta whose wages, leave pay or statutory bonuses have not been paid: a letter to the employer that lists what is owed, month by month, cites the Employment and Industrial Relations Act (Cap. 452) on when wages are due, and sets a date for payment before a free complaint to the Department for Industrial and Employment Relations (DIER). Send it by registered letter with a copy by email, and keep the post office receipt.

  • Acknowledgement of debt (Malta)

    For a debtor in Malta who confirms in writing how much they owe a creditor, and for the creditor who asks for it — a private loan, unpaid rent, money owed between friends or businesses. Signed by the debtor, the acknowledgement interrupts prescription under article 2133 of the Civil Code (Cap. 16), so the time already run no longer counts. An optional plan sets monthly instalments. The debtor signs; the creditor keeps the original.
