Minors exiting Colombia

The new Code for Children and Adolescents establishes additional information for minors leaving the country.
Law 1098 of 2006 came into force in May 8, 2007 and implements the Code for Children and Adolescents, that in Article 110 paragraph 1 textually says:
"When a boy, a girl or teenager is going to leave the country with one parent or with someone other than their legal representative they must obtain prior permission from the party that will not travel with them, or from those parties duly authenticated by a notary public or consular authority".
The law also requires new information is provided: the permit must contain the destination, purpose of travel and date of exit and entry back to the country.
The Colombian DAS department thanks the parents and travel agencies for their collaboration in providing this new information required by law to authorize children to leave the country, which aims to protect them.
If you want more detailed information about minors exiting Colombia, please visit: www.das.gov.co
 
Please take into account:
Minors traveling with the new Colombian passport must present an authentic and legible photocopy of their birth certificate to the Immigration Authorities in Colombia.
