🌞 Summer Documents Every Parent (and Notary) Should Know

Summer offers family fun but also demands crucial paperwork. Essential documents like travel consent forms for minors and temporary guardianship paperwork ensure stress-free adventures. Whether prepping for camp or a move, staying organized with medical and camp forms can save time. Notarization is often needed for school transfers and real estate paperwork. As your advisor, we help you navigate these forms, ensuring you're ready for summer adventures with essential travel consent forms and temporary guardianship documents for smooth plans.

✈️  Travel Consent Forms

For Parents:Traveling solo with a child? Or sending them on a trip with relatives or friends? Many airlines and international borders require a notarized travel consent form proving parental permission. Be sure to include details like travel dates, destination, and emergency contacts.

For Notaries: Educate clients on the importance of this form and ensure they know international travel typically requires notarization sometimes even in duplicate.

👨‍⚕️  Temporary Guardianship Essentials

For Parents:If someone else will be caring for your child, this document lets them make critical decisions, especially in emergencies. Steps include:

• Choosing a guardian

• Drafting the form

• Having it notarized

• Providing copies to relevant parties (schools, doctors, caregivers)

For Notaries: Highlight this as a preventative legal measure. Clients often don’t realize notarization helps enforce the validity of temporary authority in critical situations

🏕️  Health and Activity Authorizations

For Parents:Camps, sports, and group activities often require:

• Medical authorization forms

• Consent for emergency treatment

• Insurance and contact information

Be thorough and update regularly.

For Notaries:Encourage parents to review camp packets early and help notarize documents as needed (many camps require this for liability reasons).

🏫  School Transfer Documents

For Parents:Summer moves often mean switching schools. You’ll likely need:

• Proof of residency (commonly notarized)

• Immunization and health records

• Academic transcripts

• Transfer affidavits

For Notaries:Offer same-day service for parents scrambling to meet school deadlines, especially during late summer.

🏡  Real Estate Documents

For Parents:Summer moves? Expect a lot of paperwork:

• Purchase contracts

• Mortgage documents

• Seller disclosures

• Title paperworkMany require notarization and some may qualify for remote online notarization (RON).
