In this case, an official power of attorney for taking a child out of Ukraine, issued abroad, is a mandatory document for the border service.
The Consultan law firm helps you quickly, officially and legally issue a power of attorney for the removal of a child from Ukraine, regardless of your citizenship. We have offices in the United Kingdom and Ukraine, so we provide full support and guarantee the legal validity of the document.
How to obtain permission for a child to leave Ukraine while in the United Kingdom
For a child to legally leave Ukraine for another country (including the United Kingdom), it is necessary to provide permission from one of the parents if the other parent is accompanying the child alone. Such permission is issued in the form of a notarised power of attorney, which:
- allows the child to cross the state border accompanied by the other parent, guardian or a third party;
- is valid for a specified period of time or until the child reaches the age of majority;
- includes a list of countries to which travel is permitted (one or more);
- must be apostilled if signed outside Ukraine.

Consultant will prepare the text of the power of attorney in accordance with the requirements of the State Border Service of Ukraine and ensure its full legalisation in the United Kingdom.
