The consent of parents in the interests of children — notaries explain

Consent to exit from one of the parents is required for foreign trips if the child goes on vacation with his grandmother, grandfather, other relatives, flies with the counselor to the children’s camp or with the team for competitions. If the child goes abroad alone, he should also have the consent of one or both parents.

Go abroad

The consent of the exit is in demand not only during the holidays and holidays, including spring and summer. They can come in handy all year round: for example, for trips on excursions and competitions, and sometimes for moving a child with accompanying country. “Resolution” can be issued immediately for a year, two or several years, up to the age of adulthood. You can make consent to travel to one specific country, but you can immediately several, most importantly, indicate each specific.

If it is necessary to urgently transfer the document, for example, to another city, you can contact a notary public to transfer the document to electronic form while maintaining its legal force. Consent can be immediately transferred to the destination, where the addressee will be able to receive a document in a notary office. The notary can make a notarial document immediately in electronic form.

If the child travels with his mother, dad or other legal representative, the consent of the second parent according to the laws of the Russian Federation does not need. However, it may be required according to the rules of the country that you are in: when crossing the border or even at the stage of registration of a visa. That is, in fact, the consent of the second parent is necessary to enter another country, however, the document is called standard — consent to leave the Russian Federation.

Recall that if one of the parents is against the son or daughter to leave the country without him, he may submit an application to the Ministry of Internal Affairs about the ban on the departure of his child abroad. Moreover, you can immediately indicate the validity of such a ban and specific states to which it applies. You can always withdraw your ban, but you can challenge the “taboo” of the other parent only in court.

The parents’ notarial consent is also required for training in a driving school, when a minor wants to pass an exam and get a driver’s license. In 2024, citizens issued more than 30.3 thousand such consent from notaries that 9% exceeds the indicator of the year before last. Most often in 2024, such documents were applied to notaries in the Moscow region, Moscow, the Krasnodar Territory, the Ryazan and Tver regions.

Notaries certify the “permission” of parents and legal representatives and that the child can engage in entrepreneurial activity. In 2024, such consent became 7% more than a year earlier. Notarial consent to the implementation of minors of entrepreneurial activity in 2024 was most made by parents, adoptive parents or trustees of children in two capitals, Moscow region, and Krasnodar Territory. The fifth line of the rating is divided by Dagestan and the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

Another examples: parents’ consent may be required to register a child at a new address, settlement of a minor student in a hostel. Sometimes the consent of the parents is necessary for classes of children in certain sections. Such issues can be resolved by local acts of institutions, statements of a particular sample.

There are parents who come to a notary public and ask to certify “total” consent for absolutely all occasions, which is impossible to do. It is important to remember that in general, raising children is a legislatively established duty of mothers and dads. If a child, for example, for good reason, lives separately from parents (they are in the hospital, work on a rotational basis, etc.), it may be necessary to establish temporary guardianship. Mom and dad in this case do not lose parental rights, but, for example, grandparents legally represent the interests of the child.
