What is it?

Children and adolescents (under 18), Colombians and foreigners, who reside in Colombia must have a permit to leave the country of both parents or the father who does not travel with the child. It can be recorded in a private document authenticated by a Notary or in a Public Deed. If it is by private document, it is only for one trip. If it is by Public Deed, works for all events.
