How to properly issue a power of attorney for a child?

If the power of attorney concerns the departure of a child abroad, then in accordance with paragraph 4 of the Rules, the departure from Ukraine of citizens who have not reached the age of 16, accompanied by one of the parents or other persons authorized by one of the parents with notarized consent, is carried out with notarized consent of the other parent, indicating the country of destination and the corresponding period of stay in that country, if the other parent is absent at the checkpoint.

It should be noted that the permission of the father or mother for the child to cross the border is required only for citizens of Ukraine. Children who have the citizenship of other states can leave Ukraine without presenting such a power of attorney.

To issue a power of attorney, you must contact a notary and submit the following documents:

• Original passports of parents;

• Registration number of the parents' tax payer's account card;

• Child's birth certificate.
