Single parent entering Japan with 16 year old minor

score:1

Accepted answer

After some quick searching, I wasn't able to turn up anything specific either. However, Japan now does subscribe to the Hague Convention. This assumes that the minor child has a passport and that the other parent is alive. So, to be safe:

  1. A notarized statement from the non-custodial parent stating that you have permission to take the child out of the country, dated within 3 months of travel.

Whether or not that's possible:

  1. Notarized copy of decree giving you sole/full custody.

  2. A court order allowing you to take the child out of the country.

Separately:

  1. Child's birth certificate that includes your name as a parent.
