In accordance with the provisions of Articles 20 and 21 of the Federal Law of August 15, 1996 .No. 114-FZ "On the procedure for leaving the Russian Federation and entry into the Russian Federation" a minor Russian citizen, as a rule, leaves the country jointly with at least one of the parents, adoptive parents, guardians or trustees..In the event that a minor citizen of the Russian Federation leaves the country together with one of the parents, the consent to leave the child abroad from the second parent is not required unless he has received an application for disagreement with his children from the Russian Federation issued in accordance with the requirements of the Government Decree Of the Russian Federation of May 12, 2003 .No. 273 "On Approval of the Rules for Submission of Disagreement on the Departure of a Minor Citizen of the Russian Federation from the Russian Federation" .

If a minor Russian citizen leaves the country without the support of his parents, adoptive parents, guardians or trustees, he must carry a notarized consent of the named persons to travel with the indication of the time of departure and a list of the states he intends to visit. At the same time, the consent of one of the parents is sufficient, if the second parent did not receive a statement about his disagreement on the departure of his children.

However, keep in mind that on the border you may be asked to present the original of your child's birth certificate.
