I want to go to Montenegro with a minor child, we have different last names, will there be problems at the border 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 officers monitor whether you are taking your child out of the country and whether all your documents are in order, including whether there are any restrictions on the child's departure. However, 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: a marriage certificate or a certificate of surname change. 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 for further verification. 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 foreign 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 required 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, in which case nothing can be done even by law. At the same time, before the trip, 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 power of attorney.
