Notarized Consent (Power of Attorney) for a Child to Travel Abroad in Ukraine (Kyiv)

Are you planning to send your child on vacation, to a sports competition, or to visit relatives abroad? Today, one of the most popular requests to notaries in Kyiv is the issuance of a parent's consent — commonly searched for in Ukrainian as the power of attorney for a child to travel abroad. Let's clarify in which cases this document is mandatory and how to issue it quickly.

Is permission required during martial law?

During the period of martial law in Ukraine, border crossing rules have been simplified. If a child under 16 travels abroad accompanied by one of the parents, the notarized consent of the other parent is not required by Ukrainian border guards. However, be careful! Border guards of the destination or transit countries may act according to their own internal laws and require a notarized consent with a certified translation. Therefore, most lawyers strongly recommend preparing the document to avoid problems at foreign borders.

If the child is traveling with a grandmother, grandfather, adult sibling, coach, or teacher, a notarized statement (consent) from one or both parents is strictly required.

What is needed for registration and what affects the price?

The procedure at a private notary in Kyiv takes only 15–20 minutes. The price depends on the number of children included in the application and the validity period of the document.

To visit the notary office, you must provide:

1. The original passport and Tax ID (TIN) of the consenting parent. 2. The original birth certificate of the child. 3. The exact passport details of the person who will accompany the child.
