What are the requirements for a toddler traveling out of the country?

My one year old will be traveling to England with his grandmother in October. I know when my husband was younger he could travel on his parents passports for awhile but I don't know if that would work or if I have to get him his own.

He will need his own passport. It is currently taking 4 to 6 weeks to get a passport. See site below for all passport application info for a child. He will also need a letter of permission signed by both parents and notarized. see 2nd site. On 4th page, you can print out a form. You are wise to be planning ahead like this.
