What do I need for a Panamanian minor to travel abroad?
According to Article 40 of Decree Law number 3 of February 22, 2008–Law 113 of December 10, 2013, the departure of Panamanian minors will be allowed if the following requirements are met:
Everything will depend on whether the minor is traveling with both parents, with one of the parents or with an authorized person.
The office that regulates these procedures is the National Immigration Service of Panama.
- If the minor is accompanied by one of your parents, you must have the written authorization of the other, authenticated by a notary public.
- In the event of the death of one of the parents, it must have the authorization of a judge duly empowered to do so, in addition to the death certificate of the absent parent.
- In the event that a third party is the companion, a written authorization from both parents must be presented, duly authenticated by a notary public.
- If the minor travels alone, in addition to the written authorization of both parents, they must present the original of the birth certificate or a duly authenticated copy, or in the case, the juvenile identity card and the identity card of both parents.
