Family Travel Document & Minor Consent Rule Watch

Track travel documents and rules for families with children in the United States. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: State Department minor passport rule and processing time changes and expedite windows; consent letter and parental authorization requirement changes for traveling with a child by country; unaccompanied minor fee, age and service changes at American, Delta, United, Southwest, Alaska, JetBlue, Spirit and Frontier; lap infant, bassinet and child fare rule changes; DOT family seating rule changes and enforcement; CBP rules for one-parent and custody document travel; TSA child ID and REAL ID rule changes for minors; cruise line minor, guardian and notarized letter rule changes; CDC and country child vaccination and health document rule changes; and emergency passport and consulate service changes for families. Prefer the State Department, CBP, TSA, DOT, airline and cruise line policy pages, foreign embassies and established family travel reporting; ignore unverified posts. Put the country, airline or rule first in the title and state the document to bring. Use high severity for a consent or document rule change at a top-10 destination, an unaccompanied minor fee or age change at a top-5 airline, or a passport processing time over 8 weeks. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to bring, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
