• officially certified written consent of parents or persons officially responsible for the child; the country and duration of the trip must be indicated;
• passport;
• in case of a trip of more than 90 days, the certified written consent of the guardianship / custody bodies is required.

Without documents, the child will not be able to leave.

How to impose a ban on a child traveling abroad

The law allows that a parent oranother person officially responsible for the child has the right to prohibit the child from leaving the country. To do this, you need to apply to one of the authorities:

• General Directorate for Migration (FMS);
• border control authority;
• consulate - if the applicant does not live in Russia.

It is not necessary to notify the other party of the ban. The law does not provide for an indication of the reason for the ban.

How to write an application

Government Resolution No. 273 describes in detail how to draw up a document. It specifies:

• FULL NAME;
• date and place of birth;
• floor;
• place of actual residence;
• nationality of the child and the applicant.

In addition, a passport is provided, as well asnotarized copies of documents for the right of adoption/guardianship/trusteeship. A package of official papers submitted in any language other than Russian is translated into Russian in institutions that have the right to do so. The translation, certified by a notary, is submitted together with the package of documents.

How to legally lift a ban on a child traveling abroad

It can be cancelled through a lawsuit filed in courtprohibition. This is the only way. The legislation does not stipulate specific cases of lifting the prohibition. Therefore, the court hearing will consider various reasons and take into account:

• the desire of the child;
• duration of the trip, time of year - it is advisable not to travel during school hours;
• the situation in the country where the minor is going;
• The purpose of the trip is educational, recreation, health improvement.

All other things being equal, the main thing is the child's desire. Every citizen has the right to travel abroad, including a child.
