Clair Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 It's a normal request:A French under-age child needs either a passport or an ID card+parents written permission to leave the country.An under-age national of an EU country needs his/her own passport delivered by the relevant authorities in his/her country.

JSA Aude Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 When my son went to Spain with college last year I had the same request. Popped round to the Marie and they gave me 'a permission for exit certificate' (details of his name and ours, date of birth and passport number) which I had to sign and then filled in the relevant details in her file again with my signature. Seems this is a regular occurance in our village as there were a good few children having been listed for the year. This certificate was valid for a year. Hope this helps.

JSA Aude Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Sorry, forgot to mention our son is on his own UK passport, but absolutely straightforward in the request for (I think!) permission de sortie. We didn't have any advice re contacting consulates etc, just did as his french friends did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourangelle Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 As Clair suggests, you don't actually need this as she is travelling on a passport rather than an ID card. You need the head teacher to do more than mutter, you need to know whether they want them to have individual ones or if there will be a collective one. A school trip I helped organise with a clueless head teacher had them all traipsing (sp?) to the town hall, my husband took a group to Auschwitz and somehow managed a group one. The school should clarify, check her carnet de correspondance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
