Going to Cape Verde with a minor child, we have different surnames, will there be problems at the border and what documents are needed?

Yes, questions due to this can actually arise when leaving Russia at border control. The fact is that border control officers monitor that you are taking your child out of the country and that all your documents are in order, with no restrictions on the minor child's departure. But, in general, this issue is easily resolved with supporting documents. For this, take 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 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 type of 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 that according to Russian laws, in general, there is no need to obtain a notarized consent (permission) from the second parent for one parent to travel abroad with a child. Consent is only required 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 traveling, be sure to check the entry requirements for the country, as some countries impose additional requirements for child authorization documents. For example, obtaining a Schengen visa may require a notarized consent.
