Minor child: authorization to leave the country

A minor child living in France who is traveling abroad alone or unaccompanied by a parent must have an authorization to leave the country (AST). This is a form completed and signed by a parent (or legal guardian). The form must be accompanied by a photocopy of the parent's identity document.

A child traveling with his or her father or mother therefore does not need authorization to leave the country.
However, if the minor and the accompanying parent have different names, we advise you to bring the family record book or the authorization to leave the country signed by the parent with the same name as the child.
