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

Yes, questions due to a different surname with a 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 Russia and that all your documents are in order, and there are no restrictions on the departure of a minor child. However, in general, this problem is easily solved with supporting documents. For this, take with you 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 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 an entry exists even on the fourth page of a 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 travel abroad, and they may refuse to give this temporary permission through a notary, in which case nothing can be done even by law. At the same time, before traveling, be sure to check the entry requirements of the country, as some countries impose additional requirements for child authorization documents. For example, a notarized power of attorney may be required to obtain a Schengen visa.
