    My parents and I have taken my niece on holiday at various times, we have never had a letter of consent. We have never been asked for one by anyone when we have been travelling.

    A letter of consent is only likely to be requested if after casual conversation with all parties and perhaps direct questions, there is a suspicion that a child should not be travelling with the person or persons they are with or that the child may be at risk. ;)

    Immigration officials are very adept at engaging a child in casual conversation with the sole intent being to ascertain if the child is at risk. :)

    It differs from country to country.

    For example, Portugal is very strict- we went as four adult & five children, all of the children were cousins. Because of the dynamics of our family some of the children went through with their uncle/aunt, we were all called back to check that the children were with their parents.

    now i understand what to do to get my son abroad the problem we having is i can not get my son a passport.
    my son is 15yrs old and lives with his father. his mother changed his name by peed-poll 10yrs ago and his mother will not give the deed-poll papers or even consent for him to have a passport. does anyone know what to do as i dont think it is fair as he lives with me so why does the mother have rights and not me the father.
    If the father has custody of the child then the father should take the matter to court. The other option is to wait until he is 16 when his mother no longer has a say as he can apply in his own right.
