Going to Brazil with a minor child, we have different last names, will there be problems and what documents are needed?

Yes, questions due to a different last name of the child can indeed arise when leaving the Russian Federation at border control. The fact is that border control officers check that you are taking your child out of the country and that all your documents are in order, and there are no bans on the child's departure. But, in principle, this problem is easily solved with supporting documents. Therefore, take with you the child's birth certificate (original) and a document confirming your last name change: a marriage certificate or a certificate of name change. This will be enough for the 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; there is even such a field 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 the trip.

And just in case, we also remind you that according to Russian laws, 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 needed if the second parent has filed a ban on the child's departure abroad, and they may also refuse to give this temporary permission through a notary, and in such a case nothing can be done even by law. At the same time, before the trip, be sure to check the entry requirements for the country, as some countries impose additional requirements for child permission documents. For example, to obtain a Schengen visa, a notarized power of attorney may be required.
