I want to go to Abkhazia with a child, we have different last names, will there be problems at the border and what documents are needed?

Yes, questions about this can actually arise when leaving the Russian Federation at border control. The fact is that border officers must be sure that you are not taking someone else's child out of the country and that all your documents are in order, including that there are no restrictions on the child's departure. However, this problem is generally easily resolved with supporting documents. To do this, take with you the child's birth certificate (original) and a document confirming your change of surname: a marriage certificate or a certificate of name change. This will be enough for border guards to verify that you are the child's mother. In rare cases, they may additionally ask the child who you are to them to further confirm. Also, proof of relationship can be the inclusion of information about children in your passport; such an entry exists even on the fourth page of the new-style international passport. However, this information is not filled in by default, so be sure to check if it is filled in your documents before traveling.

And just in case, we also remind you that according to the laws of the Russian Federation, in general, there is no need to obtain a notarized power of attorney (permission) from the second parent for one parent to travel abroad with a child. A power of attorney is only required if the second parent has filed a ban on the child's departure abroad, and they may refuse to give this temporary permission through a notary, in which case nothing can be done even by law. At the same time, before traveling, be sure to check the entry requirements for the country, as some countries impose additional requirements for authorization documents for the child. For example, obtaining a Schengen visa may require a notarized power of attorney.
