Travel Documents Checklist
Everything you need for traveling with kids—IDs, medical info, permission letters, and emergency contacts. Don’t get stuck at the airport.
Check passport expiration dates early
Many countries require passports valid for 6+ months beyond your travel dates. Children’s passports expire after 5 years. Check now—renewals take weeks.

Travel with kids tips
Always carry digital backups
Save copies of all IDs and documents in PaperPilot. If something gets lost, you can access copies from any device.
Share emergency access with someone at home
Before you leave, share a private link to emergency documents with a trusted contact who isn't traveling with you.
Child travel consent is essential
If only one parent is traveling with children, carry a notarized letter from the other parent. Some countries require this.
Put contact info in kids' bags
Include a card with your phone number, hotel info, and emergency contacts in each child's carry-on.
Travel ready, every time
Keep travel documents organized in PaperPilot. Access them anywhere—even offline—and share via private links when needed.
