Many families prefer having supporting documents organized before they arrive at the airport. Having a clear travel consent document ready means you can move through check-in with confidence.
If your Fiumicino departure is within the next 72 hours, act now — Italian notarization takes time and cannot be resolved on the day of travel at the airport.
Fiumicino is a major hub for ITA Airways and a key connecting point for long-haul travel. Italy's Polizia di Frontiera enforce the legal requirement for a notarized Dichiarazione di Assenso (parental consent declaration) for any minor leaving Italy without both parents. This is a hard legal requirement — not optional — and must be prepared in advance at an Italian notary (notaio) or consulate.
Rome Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci Airport) is Italy's largest airport. Non-Schengen departures are in Terminal 3 and require Polizia di Frontiera passport control. Allow at least 3 hours before non-EU international departures.
Italian border police will prevent departure without a notarized Dichiarazione di Assenso. The notarization process takes time — last-minute trips are extremely difficult. Airlines are legally required to refuse boarding to minors without the proper document. Being stopped at Fiumicino means missing your flight and rescheduling the notarization.

The Dichiarazione di Assenso must be notarized by an Italian notaio or Italian consulate. It must specify the travel destination, dates, and the accompanying parent's name. An authorization too vague or covering the wrong dates will be rejected.
Both parents must sign the notarized authorization, which must name the grandparents specifically. If one parent has sole custody by court order, that judicial document must accompany the application. Grandparents should also carry a copy of their own ID and a copy of the child's birth certificate.
ITA Airways and other carriers at Fiumicino have formal UM arrangements. Italian border police still require the notarized authorization for unaccompanied minors. All documentation must be originals or certified copies.
If your trip is within the next 24–72 hours, double-check that all travel documents are ready before arriving at the airport. Airlines may check documentation at check-in, and border agents can request it at the gate or on arrival — having everything in order avoids last-minute stress.
