Photocopy or scan your documents to make it easier for you to apply abroad if you lose them (e-mail yourself the scan or keep your photocopies separate from your originals), and remember to bring at least 2 passport photos.
To prepare for your stay abroad, you need to check entry and residence formalities with the embassy or consulate of your destination country: passport or national identity card? Is a visa required?

Since January 15, 2017, authorization to leave the country has been mandatory for children traveling without their parents. A minor child living in France who travels abroad alone or unaccompanied by a person with parental authority must have an authorization to leave the territory (AST). This is a form drawn up and signed by a parent (or legal guardian). The form must be accompanied by a photocopy of the signing parent's identity document.
