I am planning a trip with my son to Poland. My son is 14, has a foreign passport. But the fact is that we have different surnames. He and his father are divorced. In his birth certificate, his last name is indicated by his ex-husband.

Citizens who have not reached the age of 16 leave Ukraine with the consent of both parents (in the conditions of martial law, departure abroad is allowed without the notarized consent of the other parent) and accompanied by them or accompanied by persons authorized by them, who reached the age of 18 at the time of departure from Ukraine.

In case there are doubts that you are the mother of the child, provide a passport, marriage certificate, birth certificate of the child.
