Understanding Delta Guidelines for Minors Traveling to Mexico

Traveling internationally with minors requires careful preparation and adherence to specific regulations. If your child is under 18 and traveling alone to or from Mexico, it's crucial to understand and comply with the guidelines set by Mexico's government and Delta Airlines. At ANF Signings LLC, we aim to help you navigate these requirements smoothly.


Delta's Requirements for Minors Traveling to Mexico


Any minor under the age of 18 traveling alone to or from Mexico must have a notarized authorization letter from a parent or legal guardian. Additionally, this letter must be translated into Spanish to meet Mexican government regulations.


Key Requirements:

  1. Notarized Authorization Letter: The letter must clearly grant permission for the minor to travel alone, and it must be notarized by a certified notary public.
  2. Spanish Translation: The notarized letter must be accurately translated into Spanish to comply with Mexican immigration laws.
  3. Government Compliance: Ensure that all documentation aligns with the requirements set by the government of Mexico to prevent any issues during travel.



For more detailed information, please review Delta's guidelines for minors traveling to Mexico here.


Why These Requirements Are Important


The notarized and translated authorization letter is mandatory to ensure the minor's safe and lawful entry and exit from Mexico. Without this documentation, the minor will be refused entry, leading to significant travel disruptions and potential legal complications.


How to Prepare the Authorization Letter


  1. Draft the Letter: Include essential details such as the minor's full name, travel dates, destination, purpose of travel, and the parent or guardian's contact information.
  2. Notarize the Letter: Schedule an appointment with a certified notary public to notarize the authorization letter.
  3. Translate the Letter: Obtain a certified translation of the notarized letter into Spanish to meet Mexican requirements.
