What does the term “family composition” mean?

When an economic and social situation arises in a family, the concept of the term “family composition” is important for many citizens.

So, in accordance with the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, citizens who are included in the family are:

1. The owner of the living space;
2. Parents of the home owner;
3. Relatives of the first and second degrees of kinship. These include: brothers, sisters, grandparents, grandchildren, wife or husband;
4. Natural, foster and adopted children;
5. Third-party citizens who are registered in the living space with the consent of the owner of the living space.

In order for the above citizens to be officially recognized as part of a family, they must meet certain criteria:

• The owner of the living space has no claims against relatives or strangers, and has his consent to their residence in this housing;
• Spouses must have official marriage registration;
• The owner of the property officially registered the above-mentioned relatives in his living space.

An important indicator in the composition of the family is the overall financial budget, equality in the distribution of responsibilities to each other and joint management of the household.

The family composition certificate has an approved official Document Form number 9, which can be downloaded by clicking on the link.

This document during registration and issuance is regulated by the following bills:

• Law of the Russian Federation No. 131-FZ, adopted on October 6, 2003, which spells out the basis for the formation of regional autonomy at the state level.
• Constitution of the Russian Federation.
