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

Yes, questions due to a different last name with your child can indeed arise when leaving Russia at border control. The fact is that border officers monitor whether you are taking your child out of the country and whether all your documents are in order, and there are no restrictions on the child's departure. However, in general, this problem is easily resolved with supporting documents. For this, take the child's birth certificate (original) and a document confirming your last name change: a marriage certificate or a name 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 a section exists even 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 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 the child's authorization documents. For example, obtaining a Schengen visa may require a notarized consent.
