Travel with baby help

I am really hoping I can get some advice fast.

I am travelling from Hungary to the U.K. tomorrow with my 12 week old son. We have the same surname but my husband who also has parental rights (obvs), isn't coming with us.

Do I need a letter from him so we can travel without any issues? If we do what should it contain? What info/wording?

Thank you so so much in advance!!

Yes I would get him to write a letter giving permission. Maybe just give names of who is travelling and where they are going and that he's ok with it

This is the info from the .Gov website:

Get permission from someone with parental responsibility

A letter from the person with parental responsibility for the child is usually enough to show you’ve got permission to take them abroad.

You might be asked for the letter at a UK or foreign border, or if there’s a dispute about taking a child abroad. The letter should include the other person’s contact details and details about the trip.

It also helps if you’ve:

evidence of your relationship with the child, eg a birth or adoption certificatea divorce or marriage certificate, if you are a single parent but your family name is different from the child’s
