We are going to the UAE with a child, we have different surnames, will there be any problems and what documents are needed?

Yes, questions due to this may indeed arise when leaving the Russian Federation at border control. The fact is that border control officers must be sure that you are not taking someone else's child out of the Russian Federation and that all your documents are in order, including that there are no restrictions on the export of a minor child. But, in general, this problem is easily solved with supporting documents. Therefore, take with you the child's birth certificate (original), and a document confirming your surname change: marriage certificate or surname change certificate. This will be enough for border guards to be sure that you are the child's mother. In rare cases, they may additionally ask the child who you are to them to further verify. Also, confirmation of relationship can be the inclusion of information about children in your passport; such a position is even on the fourth page of a new-style foreign passport. True, this information is not filled in by default, so be sure to check if it is filled in your documents before the trip.

And just in case, we also remind 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 required only if the second parent has filed a ban on the child's travel abroad, and he may also refuse to give this temporary permission through a notary, and in this 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 permitting documents for the child. For example, to obtain a Schengen visa, a notarized power of attorney may be required.
