Planned Parenthood for Minors: Access, Consent & Privacy Rights

In most states, a 15-year-old can visit Planned Parenthood alone. Exceptions exist (e.g., South Carolina requires parental permission).

Key Points

• Many states allow minors full access without parental consent/notification.
• Planned Parenthood encourages minors to involve a trusted adult but doesn't require it where law permits.

Required Documentation

• Photo ID
• Social Security number or Medicaid number (if applicable)
• Proof of residency (driver's license, utility bill)
• Parental consent form if required by state law

Confidentiality

Minors can request confidential visits. Information isn't released to parents/guardians without permission, except where harm risk exists.

Check your state's specific laws or contact your local clinic for details.
