Broadly speaking Parental Permission for a minor to travel abroad is required by the Boarder Control Agency of country of child’s nationality (citizenship). Hence, if you are leaving another country, not the one whose passport (travel document) your child holds, you do not need written notarised consent of another parent. But to live country of origin (in this case Latvia), you must have Parental Consent of absent parent. The Consent must be certified and legalised and also has a certified translation attached to it.

You always need to issue certified document (in different countries it may be known under different titles: Power of Attorney/Authorisation/Parental Consent/Parental Permission/Declaration) if a child is travelling with a person with different surname, in particular who is not the child’s parent. Should the child stay in foreign country longer, you might need issue a Power of Attorney to enable the adult you trust represent your child’s interest before authorities: school, doctors, visa sections etc. For Latvia maximum term of such POA is 12 months.

All documents have to be certified by a notary and apostilled for use abroad. However, for British Boarder Agency, if document is certified by Notary Public, it does not require an apostille.

The document is called the Deed of Gift and has to be signed by both parties – the Donor and the Donee, you will need to issue a Power of Attorney to someone to represent your interest in Ukraine, i.e. to accept the property as gift and to sign the Deed of Gift on your behalf.  

The Power of Attorney has to be signed by you, your signature should be certified by Notary Public and his signature and seal certified by FCDO, in other words the document has to be legalised (apostilled).

If you are British Citizen you will need to show you Decree Absolute at the Registry Office and to the person who will solemnise your marriage.   If you are a foreign national you’ll need to produce similar document (Divorce Certificate or Divorce Court Order or other document duly confirming dissolution of your previous marriage).   All foreign issued documents must have certified translation attached to them. You will need to show that you are free to marry and hence, you also require to obtain Certificate of No Impediment to marriage.  This certificate could be obtained from the Consular Section of your country or from the relevant authorities of your country.  Due to COVID-19 and travel restrictions you may not be able to travel to your country and hence can authorise someone else to obtain this document on your behalf.  Because of Data Protection Act, you must issue a Power of Attorney to them, which should be notarised and apostilled or legalised by the Consular Section of your country, if not part of Hague Convention 1961.  Full list of countries signatures to the Hague Convention 1961 for apostille purpose is here. https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/status-table/?cid=41

Should you not be able to obtain the Certificate of No Impediment, you can issue Affidavit, which should be certified by Notary Public. But please check if it will be accepted by the Registry Office where you conclude your marriage.

To recap:  If you getting married abroad you should satisfy the Registrar that you are eligible to marry, produce notary certified and apostilled documents from the country you reside and/or your are citizen. All documents have to be translated by qualified certified translator or translator’s signature should be notary certified.

Please note that for apostille purpose, only documents which are stamped by the Court or signed by the Registrar could be apostilled.  If the Decree Absolute you received in electronic format, you need to obtained certified copy a.k.a. true copy certified by a solicitor or notary.  It also advisable if the document was issued long time ago in order to shorten the search time for apostille purpose.
