Travel with baby without father
Hi everyone!
Can anyone advice or share experience regarding if I need any additional documents if I want to go abroad with baby (1yo), but without husband? Baby and husband are British, I'm not EU, not EEA, in UK on spouse visa.
I want to visit my parents and take our kid, my husband cant make it.
I've seen some info on gov.uk, but as I understood its for people who are separated.
I can take marriage certificate and birth certificate (we also have different surnames). But do I need a written permission from husband? Can be there any problems at all?
We traveled before and never were asked anything, but we were all together.
Thank you in advance!

It’s a good idea to have a letter from your husband in case you are asked.

Re: Travel with baby without father
I definately endured more checks travelling with my kids without hubby
I had British passport
Miss 5 and Mr 2 had Aussie passport
My passport is in my maiden name, kids in married name
Quite rightly, I had to answer questions, show mh marriage cert and kids passports

Yep, get your husband to write a letter stating all of the names and facts and that he is happy for you to travel with your child. I did this with my ex-husband pre-divorce and then post divorce I carried my divorce agreement to demonstrate custody.
