Traveling around the world alone is not difficult. It will also not give you a lot of problems when adults go on a trip. But, as soon as a family vacation abroad is planned, that is, a vacation with children, then questions immediately arise. They are especially common when processing documents for children when traveling abroad.
What documents will be needed when traveling with a child abroad? First of all, you need a birth certificate for your child. It should be noted that when traveling through the territory of countries that are former members of the USSR, that is, the CIS countries, this document will be enough for you. For children who were born after the collapse of the USSR, that is, after 1992, you will also need a certificate of the child's citizenship.
If you are going to the near or far abroad, then children under 6 years old are entered in the parents' passport. A child who is 6 years old at the time of departure is issued his own passport. Experts advise taking a Russian passport with you when traveling with a child abroad.
When entering the territory of some countries, it is required to present a power of attorney for the child to travel abroad, that is, the permission of one of the parents. Therefore, it is worth visiting the representative office of the country to which you decide to go and find out whether you need to issue this document. Otherwise, your child may not be released outside the Russian Federation. Sometimes such permission must also be notarized. All these subtleties are worth considering. Please note that this power of attorney must be kept by you until the end of the holiday. It is possible that you will need it when leaving the country you have visited.
There are times when it is difficult to obtain such a power of attorney, and sometimes it is impossible. Such situations arise if the parents are divorced. The ex-spouse or spouse may simply refuse to issue the document. In this case, you need to go to court and resolve the issue in court. Well, and, as you yourself understand, the litigation will take a lot of time. Therefore, it is necessary to start in advance to start drawing up documents for the upcoming trip abroad with your child.
