REQUIRED DOCUMENTS

Argentina

You will need a parental consent form that is in both English and Spanish (we can provide a template). The document should outline that your child has permission to travel with the Snofari Expedition leaders (we will provide these names and passport numbers).

• Both parents must be listed and both must sign the document.
• Please include the dates of travel for the time in Argentina.
• Please include the passport number of the child traveling.
• Please include the date of birth of the child traveling.
• After the document is prepared, it must be notarized by the County Clerk.
• The notary's commission must then be certified (called an "apostille"). To obtain the apostille, most states require that you send the notarized document with the request for an apostille to your state's Department of State. Snofari Expeditions staff will notify you of the requirements for your state.
