I want to travel to North Korea with a child, we have different surnames, will there be problems and what documents are needed?

Yes, issues due to different surnames with a child can indeed arise when leaving Russia at border control. The fact is that border guards check that you are taking your child out of Russia and that all your documents are in order, including that there is no ban on the child's departure. However, this problem is generally easily solved with supporting documents. For this, take the child's birth certificate (original) and a document confirming your surname change: a marriage certificate or a certificate of surname change. This is 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 you that according to Russian law, 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 traveling, be sure to check the entry requirements for the country, as some countries impose additional requirements for child permission documents. For example, obtaining a Schengen visa may require a notarized power of attorney.
