Power of attorney from the second parent to leave the child. Consent for departure of minors

In order for the parents or one of the parents to be able to take the child abroad for vacation, any event or treatment, it is necessary to follow a special procedure.

For the temporary export of a minor citizen to another country, it is necessary to obtain a visa, as well as prepare other documents that are required for entry into a particular country.

General rules for leaving the Russian Federation abroad

When preparing documentation for child traveling abroad, you must follow the rules:

• to leave the Russian Federation (the rules are enshrined in legislative acts RF);
• to obtain a visa and enter the country of destination (the rules are specified in the laws of the country where the child enters).

Many countries require a visa. You can familiarize yourself with the requirements for documents for obtaining a visa to a certain state in advance at the Consular Department of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs or on the website of the visa application center or embassy.

Do I need to apply for a passport for a child to travel abroad?

In order for a citizen to travel to another country, as a rule, a passport is required. However, children under 14 do not need to have a separate passport. Data about the child can be entered in the passport of his mother or father, in addition, the parent's passport must contain a photograph of the child, which is affixed by the passport and visa service.

In some situations, the child needs to issue a separate foreign passport. This is necessary if a parent who travels abroad with a child has received a new passport - after 03/01/2010. The fact is that new passports contain information about children with their photograph, but this does not give parents a reason to take the child out on such an entry, so separate documents should also be issued for the child to travel abroad. This is indicated in Appendix 4 to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 18, 2005 N 687.

It is also necessary to issue a separate passport for traveling abroad for a son or daughter if the child will travel alone (without parents, adult relatives or other persons).

Important: a child can enter many countries of the near abroad without presenting a passport: Belarus, Abkhazia, South Ossetia. If parents are traveling to these countries with a child under 14 years old, then at the border it is enough to simply present it with confirmation of Russian citizenship. Belonging to the citizenship of the Russian Federation is confirmed by a special stamp, which is placed directly in the certificate or on a separate citizenship insert (such inserts were previously issued along with a birth certificate).

Passport requirements for parents

It is worth noting that if the parent's passport does not contain a stamp or a photo of the child, then entry into another country will be denied. At the same time, the authorities of some countries require that the child had a separate international passport, even if the parent has an old-style international passport and there is information about the child. Therefore, before planning a trip, it is recommended to contact the consulate of a given country and obtain a separate passport for a child.

Do I need documents confirming kinship when taking a child abroad?

If the child is included in the parent's passport or has a separate foreign document, it is not necessary to have a birth certificate, guardianship or adoption certificate

However, lawyers still recommend taking such documents on a trip if the child and parent have different surnames. In this case, on the basis of Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 02.02.2005 N 50, border guards, when leaving Russia, have the right to request an additional document confirming the relationship between the parent and the child. Also, this document may be required when entering the country of destination.

Notarized consent of parents when leaving a child abroad

If a minor citizen travels unaccompanied by parents, guardians or trustees, then it will be necessary to issue a notarized consent of the parents or other legal representatives of the child to travel abroad.

Notarized consent from parents must also be obtained when the child goes on vacation, competitions, etc. to another country with relatives (sisters, brothers, uncle, aunt, grandfather, grandmother, etc.). To cross the border, it is enough to provide a document confirming the consent to the departure of the child of one of the parents. Consent from the second parent is not required if he did not file a statement of his disagreement with the departure of the child. This requirement is established in the Letter of the Border Guard Service of the FSB of Russia dated June 27, 2007 N 21/1/7/3.

Please note that the procedure for the departure of minors abroad is also governed by the rules established by transport companies. For example, some airlines indicate that when flying a passenger from 5 to 12 years old, it is necessary to separately issue a service for accompanying a child by an adult. And minor passengers under 5 years old can travel only when accompanied by adult citizens. The service for accompanying a child on an airplane is approximately 40 euros. At the same time, parents must guarantee the airline that the child will be met immediately at the airport.

Accompanying a child by one of the parents

If the child travels abroad with one of the parents, then receive consent to take the child abroad from the second parent is not required. However, if the latter objects to the child's departure abroad, he must express his disagreement in writing.

If the child leaves accompanied by one of the parents and the second parent does not object to his departure, then the notarized consent of the second parent for the child's departure from the Russian Federation is not required. However, if he objects to this, then he may submit a statement of his disagreement:

• to the authorities border control;
• to a diplomatic mission;
• to the body in the field of migration at the place of residence or stay (refers to subdivisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs).

Consequently, a parent with a child can easily leave the country without obtaining consent to leave from the second parent. In this case, silence is regarded as the consent of the mother or father.

Please note that the rule on tacit consent to the departure of a minor son or daughter is valid only at the border of the Russian Federation. When entering some countries, consent from the second parent or a document confirming that it is impossible to obtain consent from him must be present. Therefore, when traveling abroad, it is necessary to take into account not only the legislation of the Russian Federation, but also the country into which the entry is made.

If the second parent does not intend to file a disagreement with the departure of his child, then it is better to document this in advance and draw up his notarized consent. The application may be written by hand or typed on a computer. This statement contains the following information:

• FULL NAME. and the address of residence of the child and the parent with whom the son or daughter leaves;
• departure time;
• destination state.

As for the period of validity of the statement of consent, it may be limited to some calendar date, for example, you can indicate that this document is valid for 1 month, six months, etc. You can not indicate a specific number, but simply refer to events - the child comes of age, the end of a visa or passport.

The application must contain a list of countries where the child is allowed to travel, but you cannot enter the names of communities of states or entire continents: the CIS, the European Union, countries of Asia, Africa, etc.

If the parent is against taking a child abroad the second parent, this issue must be resolved exclusively in court. A parent who intends to travel with a child must request that the ban be lifted. However, in order to get a decision in your favor, the statement of claim must specify the purpose of the trip and its timing. It is also necessary to substantiate that the disagreement of the second parent violates the rights of the child. For example, a son or daughter cannot go to another country and see their relatives, because of the prohibition of the father or mother they cannot relax at sea, go language classes, sports competitions, etc.

In addition to consent from the second parent, the country of entry may establish requirements for the submission of other types of documents for minor child. You can find out such information on the websites of the embassy or visa center, as well as in the Consular Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The question is, I am the father of a citizen of Russia, the son is also a mother, a citizen of Moldova, the child lives in the territory of Moldova. We are married. Can I, as a father, take the child to Russia

As I remember this red tape, sometimes I thought, maybe it’s better in Sochi and there are fewer problems, but still we did everything and went to rest. I say right away, I don’t know how it is in your city, but it cost us a lot of nerves, so many demands that mom don’t worry. If we probably knew what we had to go through, all these queues, and heaps of papers, receipts, then we would really go either to Sochi. or to the Crimea).

I have no experience of traveling abroad with a child, but just recently I was unpleasantly struck by the incident with my girlfriend. She has a 6-year-old girl, who has been doing oriental dancing for 2 years, she is seriously engaged, participates in various competitions and festivals, has awards. A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to a competition in Turkey, what a lot of problems fell on my friend’s head, I can’t convey. As a result, the girl did not enter the competition, only because she was in Turkey. There were a lot of tears and insults.

As far as I know, earlier the consent of both spouses was required to travel abroad. Now such consent is not necessary. It is enough that the child travels with one of the parents. Naturally, the child must either have his own foreign passport, or he must be entered in the parent's foreign passport. My child was traveling with his wife, besides foreign passport they also took a birth certificate.

Hello. I am from Ukraine Odessa region. There is a minor daughter (7 years old, Ukrainian). Of the documents, the child has only a birth certificate and permission from the father. I am married to a Russian. My registration period is coming to an end, and we are only collecting documents for the temporary residence permit. I want to cross the border through Gukovo one day to get a new migration card. Will Ukrainians with a child let me go back to Russia if the child has only the above documents, and I have a loan in Privat Bank? Please tell me?

| July 31, 2015

Elena, if a minor child and a parent traveling with him or her have different surnames, or if a child under the age of 14 crosses the border on a separate foreign passport, we recommend that you take a notarized copy of the birth certificate with you to confirm the relationship.

We are planning to go to Thailand with the whole family in the fall for a few months, first of all we issue a passport, we decided to make a new sample for 10 years, of course, there may be difficulties when the child is 10 years old and the face changes, but we will solve the problems as they come. It’s just interesting, my husband and I are not painted, the child has the father’s surname, we don’t need supporting documents at the border that this is my son?

| June 24, 2015

to lisenko
In 2015, the Border Guard Service of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation announced changes and clarifications to the procedure for the departure of minors abroad. Now, for example, children can get into the stop list of the border service if one of the parents forbids the child from leaving. However, permission from the other parent is no longer required for the child to travel abroad. That is, if a child, a citizen of Russia, leaves the country together with at least one of the parents, adoptive parents, guardians or trustees, then in this case the consent of the second parent is not required for the child to travel abroad.

I am leaving for Egypt with a child. My husband took consent to take the child from a notary. The consent indicates maiden name, my husband's surname is on the Russian passport. how should I be so that there are no questions and problems at the border. I'm thinking about getting married.

They flew to rest abroad with her husband and his child from his first marriage. Son is 9 years old. We flew on vacation in GOA. The boy was issued a passport, as well as a visa; this required a notarized permission from the mother of the child. The permit stated that we were taking the boy to GOA, and that it was valid for 1 month. There were no problems at the border, the border guards did not ask for a power of attorney either from our side or from their side. Although I heard that there are cases when they ask for permission to export / import a child from the second parent.

| May 29, 2015

Well, I finally found a good article on this subject! There is just too much information that is not true on the net right now. I myself have been working in a notary's office for many years and often answer the questions highlighted here to my clients, and I hear a lot of cases from clients about crossing the border. I would like to add this as advice - if the spouses are divorced or just in a bad relationship, and the child, say, goes abroad with one of the parents, then the second should find out one moment. Namely, whether the second parent left a written ban on crossing the border for his child. In this case, the child will not be released from the country and the long-awaited and expensive vacation may be disrupted. This primarily applies to countries that do not require the consent of one of the parents to visit if the child travels with the second. These countries are very often visited by our compatriots - Türkiye, Egypt, Taildand, etc. I hope my advice is useful to someone and have a good holiday.

"... the husband made this notarized consent, but did not take into account that it was valid for a month" It was strange that consent was made many times and there was never a time limit for the consent to leave. There is an expiration date. WE and 3-4 months before the trip assured a notary, about a month whose notions, I suppose some Visa Center frolicking, they like to demand what is not needed

| April 04, 2015

Julia,
permission from the pope is highly recommended.
Even despite the fact that with a high degree of probability you will be allowed into Turkey with a child without him, we would recommend not to risk it. Especially since you, Mr. Ukraine, you will fly to Turkey from the Russian Federation.
Considering that you and your child have different surnames, be sure to take a birth certificate with you (preferably with an English translation). It certainly won't bother you.

Sincerely,
Kidpassage

Guys, tell me. Do you need permission from your dad?

| March 19, 2015

Very useful article! My friend went to the Czech Republic to visit relatives for 2 weeks, and took her daughter with her, so they didn’t let her out of the country, because they didn’t even think about permission from her dad, they had to reschedule the trip, and these are all unnecessary costs! It is necessary to prepare for such trips responsibly and, most importantly, in advance, especially since there is a lot of information about this now.

| February 26, 2015

If you want to show your baby the world, accompanying him alone, then never delay the notarization of permission for the child to travel abroad from his second parent, otherwise surprises cannot be avoided! You spoke very well about all the nuances of such a trip, but I think that one should especially dwell on a trip with one of the parents (after all, if the child is accompanied by two parents, then you just need to follow all the formalities), and if there is a divorced father of the baby who is angry with the whole world , then think about how to present this information to him in order to get consent!

| February 03, 2015

Before going anywhere, we always check the set of documents and make copies of them for every fireman. It is imperative that you always have a birth certificate with you - even if you have a foreign passport for a child, there was a case when we were asked for a copy of the birth certificate at the checkpoint, since my wife and I have different surnames. And for reinsurance, the data about the son was entered in our foreign countries - situations are different and so that you don’t have to suffer later, it’s better to play it safe in advance.

| January 22, 2015

Had the experience of traveling with two children. I then left the country with them alone. I did not take any permission with me and no one demanded it from me anywhere. But in Europe, they say, this is more difficult. However, my friend told me that traveling through Europe on different countries with a minor child, she was only once asked to show permission, and when they found out that he was not there, they did not prevent entry. But this, of course, is a special case and rather a human factor, in the future it is better to keep all documents in order.

My friend wanted to fly to Greece with her daughter in the summer. But she is divorced from her husband and they have a very difficult relationship. And in order to make a girl Greek visa, the notarized consent of the father was needed that he allows her to visit the country of Greece and other countries of the Schengen agreement. My husband lives in Irkutsk, and my girlfriend and her daughter live in St. Petersburg. So, the husband made this notarized consent, but did not take into account that it is valid for a month! And in the end, while this consent came by mail, its term had already expired) The friend was simply in a panic. Somehow they urgently did it again and sent it by express mail. Thank God, they seem to have flown away, everything is fine. Therefore, be careful about the dates when you collect documents for visas)

| December 28, 2014

I am divorced, my ex-husband does not give permission to take the child abroad, but there is no official ban either. Therefore, we travel with our son only in visa-free countries. Were several times in Turkey, Egypt and Kazakhstan. Nowhere did they ask permission to take the child out. On Russian border They only asked for the child's birth certificate and passport. Our son's last names are the same.

| December 14, 2014

My friend somehow wanted to leave with the child, without telling her husband about it, to visit her mother. Even at the airport, they began to ask her if there was a document stating that her husband knew about their departure. As a result, after talking with people while waiting for the plane, she decided to return, as she considered that it was impossible to cross the Spanish border without permission. And she turned out to be right, having learned the details at the embassy.

| November 15, 2014

I will add that the birth certificate of the child must be taken with you, regardless of whether you have the same last name or not. Passports with the same surnames are not proof of kinship, it does not say anywhere who the parents of the child are. Also, since 2014, a citizenship insert has not been issued and citizenship has not been stamped on a birth certificate, provided that both fields of the parents' citizenship are Russian.

| October 14, 2014

It is necessary to enter data about the child in the passport of the parents, or else make a separate passport for the child. It is better to choose the second option, then it will be possible to send the child abroad together with one of the close relatives, but here you need to remember that you will definitely need to write a power of attorney and certify it with a notary, only then the child will be released, for example, with a grandmother or aunt. If the child is over 14 years old, then he will also need a regular passport, and if less, do not forget about the birth certificate. If you are going to a country where visa regime, then remember that you need to make a visa for the child as well.

| October 09, 2014

My friend had very serious problems when she and her daughter wanted to go to Turkey. She herself got married and changed her surname, and the child retained her old surname. Although she provided her birth certificate, they did not believe her and asked permission from the girl's father. Each situation is treated differently and sometimes it is very difficult when you do not know all your rights and laws.

| October 09, 2014

And my ex-husband made me laugh to tears. I sent my son with my mother to Turkey. He made a notarial permit only to travel with my mother, only to Turkey and only for the summer, instead of a universal permit for under 18 years old to any country. He explained that he was afraid that I would take my son away. You should have seen the expression on your face when I explained that you need a completely different permission to leave for permanent residence.

| September 29, 2014

My little grandchildren all already have independent foreign passports. I often go on vacation with them without my parents, so the procedure for collecting documents and issuing powers of attorney is familiar to the smallest detail. By the way, only when leaving Russia, they ask for powers of attorney and look at the documents of children. In other countries, only passports are looked at, other documents are of no interest to anyone.

| September 26, 2014

happened to us similar case. The son, and he was already 12 years old at that time, went with his mother to a resort in Egypt. I (father) accompanied my family at the airport. The son had his own foreign passport issued, and yet the Russian border guard asked to prove the relationship between the mother and son, saying that the child's unauthorized departure is possible. And kinship is proved simply by the birth certificate of the child. Take it with you always.

| July 27, 2014

As for the entry of a child to other countries, everything is easier there. My friend has two grandchildren who live in Russia and she lives in Bulgaria. The parents brought the children to Spain, where she also came, rested there all together, then the parents flew to Russia, and she flew to Bulgaria with her two grandchildren. No one asked her for any documents anywhere, only visas.

| June 29, 2014

I cannot say whether it is good or bad when permission is required for a child to leave Russia from both parents or from the absent parent. Situations are different. One of my acquaintances is in a bad relationship with his ex-wife, who is going to take the child abroad, at first for a short time, but he suspects that it will be forever, so he does not give permission to leave. Who is right and who is wrong...

| May 24, 2014

And we got a passport without any problems, and when we arrived at the airport we were taken aback, saying that they could not let us in. It turns out that the birth certificate should have a seal stating that the child is a citizen of Russia. Moreover, in passport office we were not told anything. I'm just in shock, my son is 10 years old and this is the first time I hear about it. But in the end we were let through after I threw a tantrum.

| May 18, 2014

A friend of mine was in such an awkward situation. When leaving to visit relatives abroad with a child, they were not allowed in, she began to understand the reason for this. As it turned out, she did not have permission to leave from her father (since she was divorced). In that month, they were not able to go to a relative. The father does not give permission to take the child out. The situation is not new, but now my friend does not know what to do.

| April 27, 2014

And for us with the child abroad is generally closed, precisely because of the lack of permission from the father. He didn't let us out even on a tour package. So it turns out that on the one hand, we protect the interests of children and parents with our legislation, and on the other hand, we deprive many children of the opportunity to see the world, and even more so to change their place of residence. But in general, the list of documents in the article is described in full, but if they also described how to solve our situation, it would be very good.

| April 17, 2014

When I went abroad with my 10-year-old son without a father, I made a separate passport for him and he was inscribed in mine and the photo was pasted. I took the original birth certificate and the father's permission to leave the child, notarized. When I sent him on vacation with his grandmother, it was his personal passport and the consent of both parents to leave the child, also notarized. We had no problems crossing the borders.

| April 11, 2014

Oh, those documents. We went with my daughter 8 years old to Egypt without a dad. The child was inscribed in my passport, but the lines in it were not even, but with a decent bias, probably when it was made not exactly, they put all the inscriptions of the full name, etc. went downhill. We were checked at the airports of both countries as if we were terrorists. The child was asked questions about how old she is, who I am to her, and in that spirit. Thanks to our crooked passport officers for not letting us relax even on vacation.

| April 01, 2014

When we went with our daughter to Disneyland Paris together, we didn’t even make her a passport, because she was inscribed in mine! I was so happy then! But I heard a lot about the problems at customs, although until the last I thought that it would carry over. When crossing the border, they still asked permission from her father, who remained in Russia. The main thing is that the permission must be certified by a notary, and not just written. Thank God, I foresaw this and we were let through without much hesitation.

| March 13, 2014

All documents are listed correctly, but here are some more points to consider. My friend took and laminated her son's birth certificate (it was an old model, in the form of a small book). So you can imagine, this caused misunderstanding on the part of the customs officers! Barely agreed with them, it literally came to hysteria, and it's good that there was a lawyer in the group and he managed to convince the "guardians of the law" of the validity of such a document.

| March 06, 2014

The author is right in the sense that you need to prepare for trips in advance, then all issues will be resolved normally. It just so happens that now children go abroad much more often than we used to. Therefore, single women giving birth need to think very seriously about what to write in the "father" column on the birth certificate, so that later they do not have unnecessary problems. And one more thing: I was required to have documents for the exit of the child only at our border, and when entering Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Slovakia, this issue was not of interest to their customs officers at all.

| February 27, 2014

I somehow have a son tourist package went to rest. So all parents issued an export permit to the head of the group at the notary. I myself also traveled with a child and my husband issued an export permit. It's good that there were no conflicts and persuasion. The document was drawn up in Russian, but the seal had to be translated. One thing is clear, if everything is prepared in advance, then there will be no problems.

| February 14, 2014

It turns out that it is most profitable to travel abroad with a child under 14 when it comes to documents. Of course, much calmer when the child is not so small, there will naturally be fewer problems with him. Getting a passport is not a problem. A friend applied for a 5-year-old daughter recently and she somehow managed to get past these crazy queues that everyone is talking about. The main thing is to follow the expiration date of the passport, so as not to get into an unpleasant situation.

| February 08, 2014

Friends had a stupid situation when they did not want to let a child out of the country at our border, because he did not look like himself in the passport. At that time, the child was 2 years old, and they received a passport a year. Several border guards tried to find similarities, barely missed. Here we are now thinking. Is it worth getting a passport one year old baby to change it again for the next trip.

| February 08, 2014

If the parents are married, then this is exactly what happens. But if they are divorced, or the marriage is not officially registered, and the child is registered in the name of the father, that is, adopted, there may be obstacles to traveling abroad. For example, one such dad, the former civil husband of my friend, did not want to give his permission for his daughter to leave for Turkey. Although this was done simply out of harm, the poor mother could not convince him of the need for rest for the child, and the trip had to be canceled ...

| February 07, 2014

I advise you not to forget to draw up a notarized consent for the child to leave the Russian Federation, even if the child travels to the CIS countries, to Ukraine, for example, and even accompanied by one of the parents - consent to leave from the other parent must still be on hand. Attention - in the text of the consent it is better to indicate the details of the birth certificate, many checkpoints require this, they have their own local rules. I'm already talking about any trips, not only to the CIS countries.

| February 14, 2014

Eugenia is right about the malicious dads. A friend's daughter is going to a competition in Bulgaria. Ex-husband, i.e. the father of the child, out of spite, refused to give permission to leave, despite the fact that this competition is very important for the girl. I had to sue, where such situations are usually resolved in favor of the child. But, you need to think about everything in advance in order to have time "to maneuver."

Now very often people tend to go abroad on vacation with their children. However, experts advise you to familiarize yourself in advance with the nuances of paperwork and other requirements imposed by the current legislation.

After all, it may happen that the child of a citizen of the Russian Federation simply will not be allowed through border services.

In order to avoid such unpleasant situations, it is worth considering such a feature as the departure of minors abroad.

What do you need to know?

The number is increasing minors who travel abroad and many of them travel with only one parent.

Although firms draw up documents for a minor to travel abroad without parents (for example, on an exchange), questions only increase.

Legislation

The order of departure under the legislation of minors is fixed in Art. 20 .

It states that persons under the age of majority may travel abroad accompanied by an adult (parents, guardians, guardians).

If a child travels to another country alone, he/she is required to present a notarial agreement from the adults responsible for the child.

The document must indicate the date of departure and the direction (name of the country).

The agreement is a document that confirms the right of the child to travel unaccompanied by adults. To avoid getting into pleasant situations at the border, you need to remember that the rules of other countries are different from the rules Russian Federation.

So, just in case, you can prepare notarized copies of such documents as: consent and death certificate if one of the parents has died.

After analyzing the data contained in the law, the following conclusions can be drawn:

• A citizen who has not reached the age of majority may travel abroad with his parents with. Up to 14 years old, a passport can be issued at will, after 14 years old - it is mandatory if trips abroad periodically occur.
• A minor who traveled abroad with relatives must be entered in the parents' foreign passports. IN without fail There must be a photograph of the child.
• Children under the age of 14 can travel to the CIS countries with their parents, having only a birth certificate and a confirming document of Russian citizenship.
• Provide consent to the departure of a minor if he travels abroad with one parent. This agreement is best certified by a notary.
• When a child and a parent have different surnames, when traveling abroad, you should take with you separate foreign passports and a copy of the birth certificate certified by a notary.

These facts should be taken into account in every decision to travel abroad with minor children. And also, it is better to inform yourself from lawyers.

Departure of minors abroad

Traveling abroad involves the issuance of a foreign passport. If earlier a minor could leave the border on the parent's passport, now it is prohibited.

If the parents have such a passport out of date, then the fact of the presence of a child must be entered in it. But this is only to confirm family ties.

The state duty for an old-style passport will cost 300 rubles, new sample- 1200 rubles.

When receiving an old-style foreign passport, the child does not have to be present.

Get the same new document possible only in the presence of a child. It is required to take a photo of the child, regardless of his age.

Without parents

A citizen who has not reached the age of majority and travels abroad without being accompanied by an adult, in addition to a foreign passport, must have with him the consent of his parents to leave.

However, there are situations when foreign embassies require that given consent was certified by a notary and must be signed by both parents. Such consent is usually required in England, the USA and Canada.

You should know that this agreement remains with the embassy. It is better to have several copies of the document with you.

With one parent

When the travel of minors abroad is restricted, one of the parents travels with them. This happens mainly when the other parent is opposed to the child leaving the country. The issue is being resolved by the courts.

One of the parents can write an application for a temporary restriction on the departure of a minor child from Russia. Border services will not let the baby through.

To avoid such situations, you should first make sure that there are no such restrictions.

Registration procedure

In order to formalize the agreement, initially, you need to consult with the second parent. Discuss pros and cons.

Then you need to collect the necessary documents and go to the notary.

Required documents

To obtain consent to leave a person who has not reached the age of majority, representatives need to go to a notary and provide a package of documents.

In 2017, the following documents are required:

• foreign passports;
• birth certificate of the child and other documents confirming the relationship;
• information about the purpose of leaving the country (study, recreation, etc.);
• information about the person who accompanied the minor child;
• the specific date of departure and the name of the country where the child is going to go.

Experts do not advise including phrases in the document that have a double meaning. It is worth thinking about the legal implications.

Phrases formulated incorrectly can harm the child himself. With such consent minor child will not be able to pass control through border services. You won't be able to leave the country.

When is consent required?

Consent to the departure of a minor child abroad will be required when the child is sent abroad with a person who has no family ties (caregivers, coaches).

The terms in this case are set in accordance with a certain calendar date. It may also be the age of the child.

Consent certified by a notary may be valid until the day when the child becomes an adult citizen.

But there are also very contradictory situations. Consent is Russian document, but it is required by the authorities of foreign countries and embassies. These authorities may require additional information to be included in the consent.

Adults need to understand that consent to travel abroad is provided for by the law of the Russian Federation. Foreign authorities may consider that consent is necessary document for a visa, and then the parents of the child will have to re-do the consent.

Who is responsible?

Article 22 of Federal Law No. 114 states that parents (guardians) are responsible for minors who travel abroad, protecting their rights and interests outside the country.

In accordance with the normative legal act, it can be said that only parents (guardians, trustees) are responsible for minor citizens.

In case of an organized group departure of minors abroad without accompanying relatives, the leaders of the group are responsible.
