I want to go to Serbia with a minor child, we have different surnames, will there be problems and what documents are needed?

Yes, issues 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 no bans on taking the child abroad. But, 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: marriage certificate or 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 further verify. Also, proof of relationship can be entering 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 under 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 taking the child 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 the trip, always check the entry requirements for the country, as some countries set additional requirements for child travel documents. For example, obtaining a Schengen visa may require a notarized power of attorney.
