An authorization letter for adult travel representation is a document authorizing another adult — such as a family friend, relative, or travel companion — to make travel-related decisions and representations on your behalf. This is distinct from a child travel consent letter and is used in situations where an adult needs someone else to arrange, confirm, or manage travel on their behalf.

Common uses

This type of authorization is used when an employer or organization sends a representative to make travel arrangements for staff; when an elderly or disabled person needs a caregiver to handle check-in, customs, or accommodation; or when a person authorizes an agent to collect travel documents or make bookings in their name.

What it should include

The letter should clearly identify the authorizing party, the authorized representative, the scope of the authorization, the travel dates and destinations involved, and any limitations on the authority granted. It should be signed and dated, and may need to be notarized depending on the jurisdiction and purpose.
