Child with different surname Travelling to America

Kearney · 2013-09-12 15:54:00

I am travelling to Florida in a couple of weeks with my 2 year old daughter. Her father is not travelling with us. I was wondering what sort of documents I would need to bring with me as on her passport she has her dads surname. Do I need to go to a solicitor or is there a simple form I can get signed so I am not stopped…

Do I need to go to a solicitor or is there a simple form I can get signed so I am not stopped in Orlando airport with a child that doesn't have my surname.

Thanks

If both your names are on the birth cert, that would seem one important thing.
