Responsible Maria Ilyukhina, World of Wanderings
In case of departure from the Russian Federation of a minor citizen of the Russian Federation together with one of the parents, consent for the child's departure abroad from the second parent is not required if he or she has not received from him a statement of disagreement on the departure of their children from the Russian Federation, drawn up in accordance with the Regulation of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 12, 2003 No. 273 "On Approval of the Rules for Submitting an Application for Disagreement on Departure from the Russian Federation year-old citizen of the Russian Federation. "

In case of leaving a minor citizen without a parent's escort from the Russian Federation, he must carry with him, in addition to his passport, a notarized consent for the departure of a minor citizen of the Russian Federation, indicating the time of departure and the state (states) (s) he intends to visit. At the same time, the consent of one of the parents is sufficient, if the second one did not receive a statement of disagreement about the departure of his children.
