What is a Field Trip Permission Slip?
A field trip permission slip is a short consent form a school or organization sends to a parent or legal guardian, asking them to authorize a student's participation in an off-site activity. It records who is giving permission, for which trip, on what date, and often includes emergency contact and medical details. Signing it confirms the parent has read the trip information and agrees to let the student attend.
When to use it
- A class is leaving school grounds for a museum, park, or other day trip
- A sports team, band, or club is traveling to an off-site event or competition
- An overnight or multi-day trip requires written parental consent and emergency information
- A daycare, camp, or after-school program is taking children on a planned outing
- You need to collect signed consent from many parents quickly and keep a record of who responded

Field Trip Permission Slip FAQs
Is an electronically signed permission slip legally binding?
Yes. Under U.S. laws like the ESIGN Act and UETA, and the EU's eIDAS regulation, electronic signatures are generally as valid as handwritten ones. A permission slip signed through tuyaform is binding, and each one comes with a tamper-evident audit trail showing who signed, when, and from where.
Do I need a separate slip for each student?
You send one permission slip to each parent or guardian, and each signs their own copy for their child. That gives you a clear, individual signed record for every student rather than one shared sheet. You can reuse the same template as many times as you need.
What is the Certificate of Completion?
It's a document attached to every signed PDF that records the signing details: signer identity, email, timestamps, and IP address. It serves as your evidence that the parent reviewed and signed the slip. The certificate travels with the document so your records stay defensible.
Is tuyaform really free?
Yes. tuyaform is free forever and ad-supported, with no watermark on your signed documents. You can create, send, and collect signed permission slips without paying or hitting a document limit.
Can a parent sign on their phone?
Yes. Parents receive a link by email and can sign from a phone, tablet, or computer with no account or app required. That makes it easy to collect responses quickly before a trip date.
