I want to go to Tajikistan with a child, we have different last names, will there be problems at the border and what documents are needed?

Yes, issues due to this can indeed arise when leaving Russia at border control. The thing is, border guards need to be sure that you are taking your child out of Russia and all your documents are in order, including that there is no ban on taking a minor child out of the country. But, in principle, this problem is easily solved with supporting documents. Therefore, take the child's birth certificate (original) on the trip, and a document confirming your name change: marriage certificate or name 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, confirmation of relationship can be the inclusion of information about children in your passport; such a section exists even on page four 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 permissive documents for the child. For example, to obtain a Schengen visa, a notarized power of attorney may be required.
