Does the father need a power of attorney to take his children abroad?

The father himself needs a power of attorney to take his children abroad.

If one parent takes a minor child abroad, the parent who does not go abroad must notarize the power of attorney or consent, indicating that the other parent agrees to take the child abroad, and the travel expenses shall be borne by both parents.

This kind of notarization can be handled in a notary office with foreign qualifications. For France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Finland, Norway and other European countries, after notarization, they have to go to the foreign affairs department for consular certification to confirm the validity of the notarial certificate.
