Italy Visa for Minors (Children): Documents & Requirements

Minors need their own visa

Every minor needs their own visa application and appointment. One parent (or guardian) submits on their behalf; minors 12+ may need to appear in person (varies by consulate).

Extra documents for minors

• Birth certificate showing both parents' names (translated & legalized if issued outside the US).
• Authorization to travel signed by both parents, notarized.
• Notarized copies of both parents' IDs.
• Financial responsibility declaration if sponsored.

Both parents' consent

Divorce or separation does not automatically grant one parent sole authority. Both parents' consent is generally required.

Minor applications are detail-heavy. We can help you assemble the exact set for your consulate.
