Traveling to Israel with a Minor Child, We Have Different Last Names, Will There Be Problems and What Documents Are Needed?

Yes, questions due to this can indeed arise when leaving the Russian Federation at border control. The fact is that border control officers monitor that you are taking your child out of the Russian Federation and that all your documents are in order, and among other things, that there is no ban on the export of a minor child. But, in general, this issue is easily resolved with supporting documents. To do this, take with you the child's birth certificate (original) and a document confirming your surname change: a marriage certificate or a surname change certificate. This is 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, proof of relationship can be the inclusion of information about children in your passport; such a position even exists on the fourth page of a new-style international passport. True, 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 needed if the second parent has filed a ban on the child's travel 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 the child's authorization documents. For example, to obtain a Schengen visa, a notarized power of attorney may be required.
