Documents for minors travelling in the EU – Italy

Italian minors can travel within and outside the EU with a valid individual travel documentit: identity card or passport (for non-EU countries).

Until they reach 14 years of age, Italian minors can leave the country provided that:

• they are accompanied by at least one parent or guardian
• alternatively, the name of the person (up to a maximum of two), body or transport company to whom the minors have been entrusted should appear on the passport or on a letter of consentit issued by a competent authority (a police headquarters in Italy and/or a consular office abroad).

The same documents needed to travel from Italy are required to travel back.
