Baby passport surname

I think you’ll be ok if you’re with your bf who has the same last name ☺️

I dont think they do. Ive never heard anything like that happening. My daughter has the same surname as my husband. I didn’t change my surname after marriage. The passport control people don’t really look that deep into it. Im travelling to france next week. U should be fine x

Don’t think they will make any issues as you are travelling with someone who has the same surname, but you can always take a copy of birth certificate with you

I think this is a lot more likely if only one parent is with them and doesn’t have the same surname, if you’re both there I can’t see it being an issue!

It all depends on the country. I know friends that travel to Greece without the father ( in Greece you don’t take your husband last name) they need to carry a copy of the birth certificate and a letter from the dad that states they are allowed to travel. When I traveled with my younger brother (15 years younger than me )they would frequently ask him where is your dad (which had passed away). My recommendation is have a copy of his birth certificate with you. Which proves you are the mum And you then shouldn’t have any issues.

My auntie had to take birth certificates with her everytime she would take her kids on holiday because they had different surnames

If you go together with father of your LO you should be fine, but if you're worried just take birth certificate with you

I would recommend to take the birth certificate with you just to be on the safe side but as long as you’re travelling with the babies dad it should be fine

If you’re concerned take the birth certificate x

This is one of the reasons we double barrelled. :)

I was in the same situation with my little one.. I would advise taking their birth certificate as we were asked at Heathrow even though dad and baby had the same surname.
I thought it would be Europe that would ask but it was actually coming back to the UK that they requested proof.

in some countries they definitely do. It’s to prevent child trafficking

He’s with you, they won’t bat an eyelid. I travel alone with my girl and just carry a birth cert and letter in case but that’s cause a parent is missing in the travel party.

I’ve just been to Spain in august and my son doesn’t have the same surname as me. We didn’t get asked anything

You’ll be fine. For peace of mind bring a copy of the birth certificate

We flew last year and no issues at all. It wasn’t even questioned. X

I even travelled just my mom, my baby and I and no one asked anything. The baby has his dad’s surname. We had a signed letter but I wouldn’t worry.

Check with the country you’re traveling to and your own country as well. If you’re traveling as a family then it shouldn’t be an issue. I don’t have the same surname as my child, but we’ve always traveled together.

I've taken my 10 month old abroad quite a few times now without his Dad - same situation with the surnames. I carried only his birth certificate (no letter). I've been asked to show his birth certificate twice, both times on re-entry to the UK.

My daughter doesn’t even have the same surname as my partner because he hasnt changed it yet! And nothing like this happened. (He has his mothers ex husbands name but needs to change to his dads)

Just have a copy of the birth certificate with you to show you’re the mum, just in case

I did have this as my passport was in my maiden name. I took my marriage cert

I was asked at the airport recently, didn’t have my partner with me but all they asked is if he was my son x

I always have birth certificate when I travel alone. I was asked twice already. No issues if you're travelling with the child dad tho. I don't mind them asking to be fair. How they're supposed to know your the parent if they won't ask.

It's due to child abduction laws. But if you're travelling with the dad you should be fine. Take the birth cert if you're worried.

My other half doesn't understand why I want to double barrel and this is only half of the reason!

Take the birth certificate! It’s better to be prepared to get stopped and asked then not have the right evidence! I was adopted and even though we all had the same names had to have the adoption decree when traveling to and from certain countries. (Mostly Asian ones). We where all white.
