An authorization to leave the country consists of a document carried out by a notary public in which the parents authorize one or more minors to travel abroad with a legal guardian or third-party.
This document is necessary to make journeys abroad with children without one or both parents, to avoid the international abduction of minors, a problem that is becoming more frequent both in Ecuador and abroad.

Every lawyer inscribed in the National Board’s Forum of Lawyers of the Judiciary can charge a fee for the authorization to leave the country.
Where can this be legalized or legitimized?
This can be legitimized in any notary of the national territory of Ecuador, presenting a fee signed by a lawyer.
What does it contain?
