Crossing national borders within the EU (Germany and France) as an unaccompanied minor
Upvote:2
Under German law, legal guardians are allowed and required to supervise minor children. The extent of this supervision depends on the age of the minor, it is possible in principle that parents allow minors to travel to another city unaccompanied.
On a page which seems mostly concerned with German minors leaving the Schengen Area, the German Federal Police advises to bring a permission letter by the guardian/s (by both if there are two of them) which lists:
- The identity of the minor, accompanying persons if applicable, and the travel destination.
- Identity and means to contact the guardian/s.
- A copy of the data page of an ID document of the guardian/s.
This is supposed to simplify their checks to avoid child abduction by only one of the guardians or truancy by the children.
This eu site also mentions regarding EU nationals that such a letter should also:
- Explicitly mention that the child may travel alone.
- Be in the languages of the destination and home countries if possible. (I would expect that English will do better than a google translation.)
You should also be able to explain how you will pay for your subsistence while in Germany (not necessarily with cash in your pocket) and how you will travel on. Bring your passport (and for those who require it your visa), too.
