Each US minor needs their own Cambodia eVisa, and the document set is the same five items adults upload — built per child. Here is exactly what to gather for a baby, a toddler, and a teenager, and why the consent letter you are worrying about is not on the visa form.
A US minor needs the same five items an adult does, gathered per child: the child US passport (valid at least 6 months from your date of entry with a clean page), a recent passport-style photo of the child, a clear scan of the child passport bio page, an email address (a parent address is fine), and a payment method. There is no notarized parental consent letter on the eVisa form, no family or group application, and no child discount — each minor applies on their own passport for their own $80 USD Tourist eVisa, approved in 3 business days and delivered as a printable PDF by email.
