Registration of a child after birth: terms, documents, features of the procedure

At the moment, all aspects that relate to the question of how to register a minor child in certain real estate owned by different people are quite problematic. At the same time, the processes of re-registration and sale of residential premises are complicated. Therefore, all issues are spelled out in the legislation of the Russian Federation, in which a large place is devoted to caring for children, which is fully reflected by the law on registration. Let's talk about all this in more detail in this article. You will learn how to register a child from the text below. We will tell you what documents are needed for this procedure and where it can be carried out.

Primary place of registration of a small child

Immediately after the birth of a child, he must be registered at his place of residence. This is necessary to obtain a medical insurance policy, as well as to get on the waiting list for kindergarten, and subsequently go to school and easily visit any places designated for children to study various sciences, arts or sports.

Article 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation states that the place of residence of children under 14 years of age is the premises where their parents are registered. It is impossible, without the owner’s desire, to register a child in someone else’s apartment or house, for example with a grandmother, unless at least one of the minor’s parents is registered in the living space. It is always possible to register a child without the consent of the owner. To do this, at least one of his parents must already be registered in the house/apartment.

A child has the right to register separately from his mother and father after reaching the age of fourteen, but he must first obtain their consent to this. It must be given in writing. Current legislation stipulates that for free registration of a child under 14 years of age at the place of residence there is no need to obtain permission from the landlord, however, there is an exception to this rule that applies only to those situations where there is a goal to register the child in a privatized apartment.

If the housing is owned, the child’s registration also cannot be challenged. The consent of all other people living in the premises is not required, since the rights of children are protected by law. A minor has the right to move into an apartment, and this opportunity is not taken away from him, regardless of the number of square meters, so there is no need to think about where to register the child. These features are regulated by Article 679 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, as well as Article 70 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation.

Each person is obliged to strictly adhere to the listed standards, since they are regulated at the level of federal legislation. Immediately after the birth of the baby and receipt of the appropriate certificate, it is necessary to undertake the procedure for its registration.

You can register a newborn and other children only in the room where at least one of the parents is registered. This has already been mentioned above. For example, you can register a child with his father. To find out how to register it, you need to make a corresponding request to representatives of local housing authorities at the place of registration of the parents or only one of them.

You must contact one of the organizations to choose from:

To the housing maintenance department, to the passport officer.
To a special board organized by a housing cooperative.
To a management organization or to a company that unites the partnership of owners of a particular residential building.

Registration of a child is absolutely free. There is no need to spend any financial resources, since there is no state duty for this procedure, so any monetary collection is not legal.

What is needed to register a newborn

Before registering children, you need to know what is needed to register a newborn child.

Do you know if there is a peculiarity in preparing documents for registering a citizen in the owner’s apartment? Read about this in the article: documents for registration in the owner’s apartment. Read about how to apply for registration through the MFC here.

Who is responsible?

Based on the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the procedure for registering a newborn falls on the shoulders of the immediate parents. Often fathers do this, without the presence of mother. This is largely due to the fact that mothers are not yet strong enough after childbirth and are constantly near their children. Responsible parents want to register their child and give him a name as soon as possible.

There is an exception: if parents cannot carry out the registration procedure themselves, then it is possible to entrust this to a third party , based on a drawn up notarized power of attorney.

Documentation

The main package of documents is considered to be:

passports of both parents;
baby's birth certificate;
certificate of official registration of marriage relations. If the parents are not officially married, then the document is not necessary.

Where do you register?

This documentation must be submitted to:

to the passport office;
passport officer in the HOA.

In addition to these documents, they may additionally require other additional certificates and extracts that relate to the real estate where the child will be registered, namely:

a certificate of all registered residents - if the child will be registered in the apartment;
a “personal account” statement regarding the property in which it is planned to register the baby.

If the procedure is carried out with the help of third parties, then a notarized power of attorney must be provided (the conditions are clearly stated in Federal Law No. 5242-1 ).

Statement

A completed application must also be attached to the main documentation. The established form is not established by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

An example document is presented here.

At the same time, it must contain information such as:

basic information about the parents or one of them;
personal information about the newborn.

When contacting the passport office, authorized persons will tell you in whose name the application needs to be written and will assist in its preparation.

The basic writing rules are as follows:

at the top you need to indicate the full initials of the head of the passport office, as well as the name of the applicant;
then in the middle is indicated “Application”;
the main text of the document is indicated on a new line.

The main text of the document looks something like this:
“I am Maryana Anatolyevna Ivanova, I ask you to register my son Andrey Ivanovich Ivanov, who was born on January 1, 2020, at my place of residence at Belgorod, Stepnaya street 1, apartment 1.”

Be sure to put the date the document was drawn up and a signature at the bottom.

Terms and benefits

Typically, the registration period does not take more than 3 calendar days .

At the end of the specified time, parents have every right to apply for documentary evidence.

Based on Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 713 , a newborn must be registered within 7 calendar days from the date of receipt of the birth certificate.

In passports, on certain pages there will be a corresponding mark with information about the child.

After the mother, father, or both of them register the newborn, they automatically receive the right to register:

compulsory medical insurance policy;
maternity capital;
child benefits.

All of these benefits can provide significant assistance in the process of raising a child. It is known that baby food and diapers today are not cheap, and young families often cannot afford to purchase them.

At the same time, having a child’s registration in hand, you can receive significant financial assistance from state and regional authorities.

Documents for child registration

To register a newborn, you must submit the following documents:

Application on Form No. 6, which clearly states a request to register the child.
Passports of the parents or one of them to establish the identity of the child’s legal representatives.
Child's birth certificate. If there are several of them, you must submit documents for each registered child.
An application for registration directly from a child who has not yet turned 14 years old must be formed according to the basic rules, and signed only by the parents or one of them.

The papers are submitted to where newborns are registered. The listed list of documents is standard. No additional papers are required by law, since registering a child is very simple. If you are required to submit any other documents to register a minor child, you should remember that this is illegal, so there is no need to take additional actions. This can be explained by workers where newborns are registered.

Registration procedure

Having received the baby’s birth certificate and prepared all other documents, you should go to the migration service (passport office) and write an application for registration of the newborn. The application form is usually provided by a passport office specialist. A sample form can be found on the organization's information board.

The migration service officer checks the package of documents and, along with the completed application and passports, keeps them with him. Registration takes about 7 days. Parents should make sure that the birth of the baby is recorded in the “children” column in their passports.

At the appointed time, all documents are returned back to the owners. According to the old rules, a stamp with the registration address was placed on the birth certificate. This is not being done now. The Migration Service is required to issue a certificate that confirms the registration of the baby at the place of residence.

What to do if grandparents are against registration?

Sometimes the child's parents do not have their own living space. In this case, they set the goal of registering their own baby in the apartment of their grandparents, usually where they are registered at their place of residence. Usually this room has belonged to the parents for a long time, and they do not want to share it.

Grandparents have the opportunity to verbally express their own dissatisfaction and disappointment and declare that they will not give consent to registration. This document is not needed to register a child, so refusal to register a child does not have any impact on the right to carry out this activity in specialized bodies, since anyone can register a child.

Legislative regulation

Article 3 of RF Law No. 5242-1 of June 25, 1993 “On the right of citizens of the Russian Federation to freedom of movement, choice of place of stay and residence within the Russian Federation” speaks of the mandatory registration of every Russian citizen of any age at the place of permanent residence or temporary residence within the Russian Federation.
In accordance with the current legislation, a newborn child can be registered (registered) exclusively at the place of residence of one of the parents (persons who adopted him or her guardians). This is clearly stated in Article 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

It happens that the baby’s parents are registered in different places. Then they themselves must decide with whom exactly the baby will be registered (Article 65 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

To register a child in this case, the consent of other persons who have one or another relationship to this place of residence is not required (Administrative Regulations for the provision by the Federal Migration Service of the state service for registration of citizens of the Russian Federation, paragraphs 115-117).

Features of registering a child when the parents do not live together

Usually, if a child lives with only one of the parents, they express mutual agreement regarding his registration, which will not be temporary, but will assign the person to a certain living space.

It is mandatory to submit the father's or mother's passport along with the child's birth certificate, but in some cases additional documents are requested. The consent of the other parent may be required in writing, sometimes it must be certified by a notary. Also, in some cases, a certificate is required stating that the minor is not registered in a specific living space. It must be remembered that it is possible to register a child without the consent of the father.

The current legislation of the Russian Federation does not provide for the mandatory submission of written consent of the second parent for the registration of a minor. When documents are submitted for registration, one parent is sufficient. There is no need for two people to attend.

Sometimes unpleasant situations happen when officials refuse to register a child, arguing that they have not received the appropriate permission from the other parent. In this case, you need to ask them for a certificate indicating the reason for refusal of registration. When such paper is received, people have the opportunity to assert their rights in court to challenge the refusal to register and protect their own rights, since they have been violated.

Preparation of documents for child registration

Before starting the registration procedure, you must obtain a birth certificate for the baby from the registry office at the residence address of one of the parents. If this document is not received within one month, parents will face a warning or a fine. To obtain a birth certificate, you will need the following documentation:

birth certificate, which is issued at the maternity hospital (valid for 1 month);
passports of both parents or one mother if the father is absent;
marriage certificate, if available.

When issuing a birth certificate, the presence of the second parent is not required. However, if the mother and father are not legally married, they must appear together to submit documents. It is important to know that if the father refuses to come to the registry office and confirm paternity, the baby will not be registered at his place of registration. If paternity is not established, information about the father is recorded in the certificate according to the words of the mother.

In different regions of the country, the requirements for the list of submitted documents may vary slightly. Therefore, it is advisable to go to the Federal Migration Service (or FMS) in advance and familiarize yourself with the list of required official papers. Service employees can also give recommendations on how to correctly fill out and collect documents.

Registration separately from parents

A child under the age of 14 cannot be registered in a living space in which neither of his parents lives. As soon as he crosses this age line, he will be able to register with any other relatives. To carry out this procedure, written consent of both parents is required. In this case, the registration process will be standardized, since registering a child is very simple.

Required documents for registration:

Child's passport.
Standard application in form No. 6, which must contain a request to register the child in the apartment at his place of permanent residence.
Application from persons who intend to provide the minor with their own residential premises in order to register at the place of residence. This paper can be drawn up in any form, but the document must be submitted in writing. When submitting documents for registration, the presence of the owner of the residential premises is mandatory, since he must submit an identification document, that is, a passport.

If the registration of a child must be carried out at the place of residence, which belongs to the state or municipality, then in addition to obtaining consent from the employer himself, it is necessary to obtain written confirmation from all adults who live in the same premises with this person. Parental consent must also be provided separately, which confirms the child’s right to register at a specific place of residence.

Questions

Young parents often have questions about this procedure. Let's look at the most popular ones.

When can newborns change their registration?

Based on Federal Law No. 5242-1 , the need for re-registration of newborns arises after the change of registration of their parents, guardians or adoptive parents. For example, if parents moved to a private house.

Without the owner's consent

Do you need the consent of property owners?

To register a newborn there is no need to obtain consent from property owners.

At the same time, on the basis of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the owner of the property has the right to discharge minor children through a judicial authority.

About whether it is possible to register a child with his father, it is written in the article: how to register a child at the place of registration of the father. A detailed sample application for registration from the owner is presented here.

Fines for absence

Based on Art. 19.15.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, for failure to register, parents face a fine in the amount of:

up to 7 thousand rubles if they live in Moscow or St. Petersburg;
no more than 5 thousand rubles for residents from another city.

Despite the fact that the amount is relatively small, it is significant for young parents.

If we talk about what the lack of registration affects, then we can talk about the impossibility of receiving various state and regional assistance for the child.

Rights of a minor

In the case where the child’s registration was carried out in a non-privatized apartment, after some time, when the privatization of housing occurs, he will be able to receive a certain share in a specific residential premises. Typically, the size of the due portion depends on all persons living in the premises, since in most cases all portions are divided equally.

If a child is registered in an apartment that is privately owned, he has the right to use the housing at his own discretion, since registering a child in an apartment is necessary so that he is endowed with equal rights with its owner.

What will they give out?

What documents are issued after registration?

After registration, upon provision of a certificate, all original documents are returned.

Also, a corresponding entry may appear in your passports in the children column . However, this is not necessary, and you can choose whether to make the necessary entry in your passport or not.

Also, after registration, a certificate of registration of the newborn is presented. You will provide it when the child turns 14 years old and receives his first passport.

, information about registration will also appear on the pages of the passport .

Right to use the apartment

Often a minor child is registered in a privatized apartment at the place of residence, but does not have a share of ownership in it. In this case, there is no need to obtain permission from the guardianship authorities to sell the living space. When an apartment is sold, it is necessary that all family members be officially discharged from it, which takes a lot of time to carry out this operation with a person who has not reached the age of majority.

When selling real estate, any adult has the right to voluntarily leave the living space and live without permanent registration until a new home is purchased. For a child, such a scheme of discharge and registration is impossible. To remove a minor from registration at the place of residence, it is necessary to simultaneously enter him into the list of registered residents at the new place.

The child is deregistered and registered in a new place only when the sale and purchase transaction is concluded. If it is not possible to carry out the sale and purchase of an apartment at the same time, a temporary registration of the minor with relatives or friends is required. Otherwise, it will be impossible to remove it from registration. You can often solve the problem by registering the child with the grandmother.

A child under 14 years of age can only be registered in the premises where at least one of his parents is registered. If you are forced to register with friends, you will have to register first the parent and then the child. Therefore, this process is difficult and not always possible. Both registration and discharge of the child are carried out by officials at the housing department. When a simultaneous purchase and sale of housing is carried out, the parties agree in advance on the timing of deregistration and departure from the housing. Sometimes new owners do not mind that the former owners will be registered in the sold apartment and live in it for some time. Then this action will be carried out legally.

If there is a need to discharge a child and immediately register him at a new address, you can do this in one of two ways:

It is necessary to remove a minor from registration by contacting the official who is responsible for registration in a specific locality or area. A conditional mark is placed in the passport, notifying that the person has been deregistered. Be sure to immediately generate and hand over a departure slip, which contains a column for entering a new address of residence and subsequent registration. Only a week is given to register a child. During this time, it is necessary to register him at his new place of residence.
Deregistration can be carried out when a request is made, namely when the child is registered at a new address. That is, the registration and check-out process occurs simultaneously. To do this, you need to generate all the necessary documents on time.

To carry out the second option of registration at a new address along with deregistration, you must correctly fill out the application on general form No. 6, namely its lower part. This field is a separate statement with which you can express your desire to be deregistered at your previous address.

For a child under 14 years of age, this intention is expressed by parents. In order for this procedure to be successful, it is imperative to make sure that one of the parents already has a residence permit in the new living space. If this is not possible, you must first register a parent in affordable housing. Only after this will it be possible to discharge the minor from his previous place of residence for simultaneous registration in another home.

Sometimes it is not possible to make a purchase and sale at the same time. The fact is that it is impossible to discharge a child without subsequent registration. There are situations that involve the need to sell a home, receive money for it and, for example, move to another city if it is impossible to find a suitable option for a new apartment. In such cases, the only option for selling an apartment in which a minor child is registered is his temporary registration with relatives, which must take place simultaneously with the discharge.

Key points

The following key points need to be considered:

The legislation of the Russian Federation does not specify the exact deadline for submitting registration papers. In addition, there is a contradictory provision established by the Government of the Russian Federation, which states that every citizen must be registered at a new place of residence no later than seven days later. And according to the Administrative Law of the Russian Federation, an administrative fine may be imposed for failure to register within the prescribed period. When registering a newborn, this provision is controversial. Mom and dad should understand that registering a child is an important document that needs to be completed as early as possible.
To register, the personal presence of at least one person is required. This provision is relevant even for parents who have not registered their marriage. An exception exists when the father receives custody of the child. In such a situation, the mother must be present.
To register, you do not need to obtain permission from the property owners. This provision is only relevant in case of registration. When changing housing and re-registration in the future, written confirmation from all home owners will be required.
It must be carried out even if there are not enough square meters in the living area. In any circumstances, the law imposes on a newborn the right to be registered in any living conditions, in any area.
It is necessary to register it in the place where the parents themselves live. This is important because in the future you will need to submit papers to enroll your child in a preschool institution, and vouchers will be issued at the place of registration.
A newborn can only be registered at the place of residence of the mother and father. He cannot be registered with any other relatives (with the exception of the case when relatives take custody of the newborn child). Only parents must be present when submitting papers.

Ownership of the apartment

To sell an apartment in which a child is registered, who has the right to a share of ownership in the living space, it is necessary to first obtain permission from the guardianship and trusteeship authorities to release him. A separate permit is also required when real estate transactions are planned, such as an exchange or a gift agreement. This permission is taken before the transaction agreements are concluded, otherwise they will be declared invalid.

To obtain permission for any transactions with an apartment, you must first collect a package of documents and submit it to the guardianship authorities:

A request from a notary asking about the right to conclude a certain agreement.
A copy of the minor's parents' passports.
A copy of the child's birth certificate.
A copy of a special personal account from the place of previous registration.
Copies of technical passports for both apartments.
A certificate from the BTI containing general information about the apartment in which the child lives.
Other requested documents.

List of papers and where to submit

When the birth certificate is in hand, you must immediately begin applying to obtain registration. As a rule, they require from parents: passports, marriage certificate, extract from the house register.

Among other things, you need to find out from the passport office employee which copies are required to be provided. The entire list can be obtained from the passport office employee at the child’s place of registration. Depending on different situations, the list may change; parents must be notified about this in advance.

The role of a child’s share of ownership when selling an apartment

Sometimes there are cases when a decision is made to sell an apartment in which the child has a share in the ownership. If the purpose of this action is to travel abroad for permanent residence, then the guardianship and trusteeship authorities may issue a permit for the sale of the apartment, which will not indicate a mandatory condition that implies a reciprocal purchase of real estate. To do this, you must submit all the requested documents from OVIR.

Usually in this case a condition is assigned to the parents. There is a need to transfer funds equivalent to the child’s share of the living space being sold to his account, which must first be opened in a bank. These financial resources can be used upon obtaining permission from the guardianship and trusteeship authorities to purchase housing when paying for its share in the new premises.

Features and nuances

Many parents wonder whether it is possible for someone to appear alone to carry out the procedure for registering a newborn. It is problematic to leave a newborn without a mother even for a couple of hours.

Screams and hysterics are possible, which can drive anyone crazy. Many departments allow only one parent , but with a full package of required papers.

However, this only applies to persons who are legally married . As for an unregistered marriage, the presence of both parents is necessary (Read about the issues of registering a child of unmarried parents on our website).

Some parents, driven by deadlines, even before they have received a birth certificate , rush to register their baby, resulting in disappointment and wasted time.

If the mother and father are married, but are registered in different places, you need to know some nuances. So, when registering a baby with the father, the mother must provide her notarized consent to this step.

Find out on our website how to register a child at the place of residence of the mother, as well as whether it is possible to register him in the apartment with his father or grandmother.

If you are not the only one registered in a residential area, you do not need to obtain permission from all residents (for more details, see the article about whether you need to obtain the owner’s consent to register a child).

It is quite enough to provide information about your registration, even without using ownership (if you are registering in a privatized apartment).

Even if there are too many people registered and there is not enough square footage to accommodate one more person, this rule does not apply to the child.

However, not all employees are aware of this fact, sometimes forgetting that the newborn must necessarily be close to the parents. Read more in the article about the possibility of registering a child at the place of residence separately from the parents).

The sooner you register, the sooner you will experience the happiness of fatherhood and motherhood. Therefore, it is important to understand and remember all the nuances of the procedure, because the speed of completing the necessary papers depends on this.

Now you have studied and thoroughly know the entire procedure for obtaining registration of a newborn with all the features and nuances. Therefore, in the first week after the birth of your baby, mobilize all your strength and do everything possible to complete the necessary paperwork as quickly as possible.

We monitor registration deadlines

According to the current legislation of the Russian Federation, today the registration of a newborn should be carried out no later than seven days after receiving a birth certificate for him.

These standards are established by clause 16 of Government Decree No. 713 of July 17, 1995 “On approval of the rules for registration and deregistration of citizens of the Russian Federation at the place of stay and at the place of residence within the Russian Federation.”

The birth certificate, in turn, must be issued within a month from the moment the baby is born (this is how long a certificate from the maternity hospital with the first information about the child is valid).

For parents who did not meet the seven-day deadline for territorial registration of a child, there is good news - the fine for violating the established period has been cancelled.

But it cannot be done without “punishment” - liability for committing an administrative offense under Part 1 of Art. 19.15 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and the unpleasant procedure for drawing up a protocol remain.

The state obliges employees of the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation to report such cases to the place of work of the baby’s mother and father. And what to do next with the parents remains on the conscience of the authorities - you can go unpunished, or you can get a reprimand and lose your bonus.

How long does it take to register a baby?

Laws are subject to change, so directly at the passport office they will indicate how long it takes to register a newborn. Each region or area may have its own interpretation of laws. In one place they may require certain documents, in others they will ask for additional certificates.

Registration is carried out at the place of registration of one of the parents at the passport office. The timing is inconsistent. One source notes 1 week, another 30 days, or even up to 90 days. The time period is counted from the moment of receipt of the certificate or from the birth of the baby.

Passport office employees advise registration no later than 30 days from the date of birth of the baby. The Code of Administrative Proceedings (Article 19.15) states that a child must be registered within 90 days.

The registration process lasts 7 days.

What does the law say?

The law of the Russian Federation fully regulates the issue of registration. Such laws are:

Civil Code, Art. 20 (parents are required to register the baby at the place of personal registration).
The Housing Code specifies a list of premises suitable for living.
Federal Law No. 5142 “On the rights of citizens...”.
Code of Administrative Violations (determines sanctions for late registration).
Family Code Art. 65 (resolves issues related to the separation of father and mother)

Directly about the registration of the baby itself, and in what period the newborn should be registered, is stipulated in the Family Code, Art. 28.

Possible problems

When registering a child, a citizen may encounter certain difficulties. One of the problems is holding people accountable for late registration.

Risk of fines

If registration is late, parents will have to pay a fine. After all, they are the persons responsible for collecting and submitting documents. Verification of violations is carried out by registration authorities.

The amounts of penalties are reflected in the Code of Administrative Offences. They note that all citizens, including children and foreigners, must register after arriving at a new place of residence. They are given 14 days for this action.

This rule does not apply to newborns. This is due to the fact that its registration is being carried out for the first time. Therefore, it must be registered within a month after receiving the birth certificate.

Some parents believe that an identity card is the child’s main document. But according to the law, until it is registered, it is impossible to obtain a place in a kindergarten or school, as well as to obtain a medical policy for free assistance.

If parents do not register their child in a timely manner, they face a fine ranging from two to two and a half thousand rubles. In Moscow and St. Petersburg the amount increases to five to six thousand.

Sometimes registration authorities illegally prosecute parents. In this case, the latter can appeal the decision to the courts.

Sample marriage certificate

Other difficulties

The father and mother may oppose registering the child separately from themselves. In this case, they will not give consent. Then the issue is resolved in the courts. Often this situation arises when parents who are not yet divorced live separately.

Passport officers may require the consent of the other party unnecessarily. However, they do not accept registration documents.

When registering a newborn for the first time, some difficulties may arise. One of them is the frequent travel of parents and the inability to take their child with them. Mother and father, wanting to leave him with his grandmother, can try to register him at her residential address.

In this case, it turns out that the grandmother is not the owner of the apartment. She cannot register her parents to live with her. By law, a child cannot be registered separately from his mother or father.

Also, a grandmother or other relative cannot submit documents for registration of a child. Only parents at their home address should do this.

Owners of residential premises do not have to give consent to the registration of a child. But not all owners are happy with this. They can get out of this situation by selling the apartment to a new owner. The latter will forcibly cancel the registration in court.

Rules

By law, the baby is assigned to the place of residence of the father or mother. It is prohibited to include other relatives in the living space. Important rules:

registration within 30 days simplifies the entire procedure,
statement of recovery in case of untimely registration,
registration at the father’s place of residence requires the provision of a statement certified by a notary from the father and mother,
registration for a limited period is provided exclusively at the place of residence of the mother,

Registration is issued for an unlimited or limited time.

Definitions of place of residence

By law, a child can be assigned to the place of residence of one of the parents. This applies to cases where the parents do not live together or are registered at different addresses. Everything is done with the voluntary approval of parents.

Baby registration

Registration allows you to receive benefits and benefits guaranteed by the state. Parents must understand that without registration at the place of residence, the child will not be able to register at the clinic. In addition, without registration:

The child will not be enrolled in a care or educational institution,
The baby will not receive an insurance policy.

Failure to submit and complete documents on time is punishable by a fine.

It is worth noting that the lack of registration does not affect the receipt of medical care or other government services.

What documents are needed?

Before contacting the registration authorities, parents must prepare a package of documents. Upon discharge from the maternity hospital, the mother is given a certificate of birth of the child, which contains his/her details. Based on this document, the registry office issues a birth certificate to the little citizen.

To register at your place of residence, you will need the following documents:

Photocopies and original of the baby's birth certificate,
Parents' identity documents
Marriage registration certificate (if the man and woman are married),
Bank statements, house register,
Permission from parents to register a child.

The father's written consent to registration at his residence address is required if a woman submits documents independently, without a spouse. In addition, she must present a certificate stating that the baby is not registered in her apartment.

The application for registration is written in free form. The main condition is that the document must contain complete information about the mother and child. The “header” indicates the name of the registration authority and the name of the director. In the main part, they write the data of the parents and the baby, as well as the exact address where the newborn must be registered. The application is signed and dated.

Features of the procedure

When preparing to register a child, parents should consider the following nuances:

A woman must be present when submitting documents if the child is registered in her apartment. The mother independently writes an application for registration and signs it,
If a man and woman are officially divorced, written permission is required to register the child in the apartment of one of the parents,
The area of the apartment and the number of residents registered in it do not matter when registering a newborn,
It is prohibited to register a baby at the place of residence of close relatives of the parents - grandparents, brothers and sisters. According to regulatory legal acts, until the age of 16, a child must live with his mother or father,
The consent of the owner of the residential premises is not required when registering a child. However, if an adult citizen registers in an apartment, he must provide the owner’s written permission to the passport office,
A child can only be registered in the apartment where one of his parents is registered. It is allowed to register a newborn in rented housing if the father or mother is temporarily registered there . Upon expiration of the parents’ temporary registration, the child’s registration will automatically end.

There are cases when a man and a woman are not officially married, but are raising a child. When registering a baby in the father’s apartment, registration authorities check the birth certificate. These men must be indicated in the “father” column. If the biological father is another person, the child will not be registered.

Established deadlines and penalties

Registration of the baby is carried out within 30 days after discharge from the maternity hospital. There is a fine for violation of deadlines. Its size depends on the region in which the child’s parents live and ranges from 2500-5000 rubles.

In some cases, citizens are exempt from liability. Punishment for violating deadlines does not apply to children and grandchildren of the owners of the premises. In addition, the fine is not paid by parents who submitted documents, but due to the workload of the registration authorities did not manage to register the child within the prescribed period.

Registration of a newborn is a free procedure. If the baby is a citizen of another state, parents will need to pay a state fee for registration - 350 rubles.

Permission from the owner of the living space

A child can only be registered at the address where one of his parents is registered.

It does not matter whether the mother and father are the owners of the premises or not.

The consent of the apartment owner to register a newborn child is not required. However, if the owner of the property decides to expel the parents for any reason, their child’s registration will also be cancelled. It is worth noting that the eviction of a citizen raising a young child is carried out in court.

Registration authorities

Parents can apply for child registration at any of the following registration authorities:

Department of the Federal Migration Service,
Multifunctional Center.

In addition, you can register your child online, through State Services.

Let's look at the most convenient and fastest registration methods.

Contacting the MFC

In almost every region of the country there are multifunctional centers that operate on the “one-stop” principle. Spouses submit documents to the territorial office of the MFC, register the application and wait for the result. The center employee sends a package of papers to the Migration Service.

How to register a child through the MFC:

Fill out the application, prepare the required documents for registration,
Visit the MFC branch and submit a package of papers,
Register a request, get a serial number,
Make an appointment with an MFC employee to get the result,
Appear at the multifunctional center office at the appointed time to register.

The main advantage of contacting the MFC is the absence of queues.

Registration via the Internet

The Gosuslugi portal allows parents to register a newborn without leaving home. To use the service, you need to register on the site. To register your baby you will need:

Birth certificate,
Document confirming the identity of the parents,
A certificate on the basis of which the child is registered in the apartment.

Having prepared the documents, you can proceed to registration. The child’s representative must log into his personal account on the State Services portal. Further:

In the list of services you need to find the item “Data registration”,
In the tab that opens, select “Registration of a citizen at the place of residence”,
In the new window, click “Get a service.”

The child's parents will need to consent to the processing of data and then fill out an application. The site will offer you to choose a branch of the registration authority where it will be convenient to receive ready-made documents. Next, the application is sent for consideration to the Migration Service. Within 3 days , the documents will be checked and the applicant will receive an SMS notification about the timing of the procedure. At the appointed time, parents will have to visit the registration office and present the prepared certificates to the staff.

How long to wait for the result?

As practice shows, verification of provided documents takes from 3 to 7 days . In some cases, consideration of the application may take 10 days.

The processing time for documents depends on the chosen method of registering a newborn. For example, when registering a child through the State Services portal, parents will receive the result within 10 days. When contacting the MFC, the documents will be ready in 7 days.

How does a child's registration affect the amount of rent?

If the child was registered in an apartment that has meters for gas, cold and hot water, then the amount of utility bills will not increase. The number of registered residents does not affect the amount of rent, and other utilities are calculated based on the area of the living space.

If there are no meters in the apartment, then the management company will charge payments to all registered residents, including a newborn child.

How to register a child if the parents are divorced

There are cases when a child is born after the parents divorce. A woman has the right to freely register the baby in her apartment, but she will need the written permission of her ex-husband.

Often, FMS employees require the presence of both parents when registering a child. However, this requirement contradicts the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. If the child is not registered due to the absence of the father, the woman must receive a written refusal and contact the prosecutor's office with it.

Sometimes the father is categorically against the baby’s registration at the mother’s place of residence, and in every possible way prevents the paperwork from being completed. This problem can only be resolved in court.

A registration permit is not required if the child’s father:

Found missing
Died before the baby was born
Is incapacitated
Deprived of parental rights
Is in prison
Serving in the Army.

If the registration authorities refuse to register the child at the woman’s place of residence, she must provide a document confirming the reason for her husband’s absence.

Is it possible to register a baby at the address of other relatives?

The legislation allows newborns to be registered at the address of grandparents and other family members if:

The court limited or deprived the mother (father) of parental rights,
The baby's parents live in the apartment of close relatives.

In order to register a child at the address of the grandmother (grandfather) in the event of deprivation of parental rights, relatives will need to register guardianship and obtain permission for registration from the guardianship authorities.

If the mother and father of the baby live in the apartment of the grandmother or grandfather, there are no obstacles to his registration.

Permission to register a newborn from the property owner is not required.

For what?

The article discusses the standard way of resolving legal issues, but each case can be individual. When solving a specific case, it is worth contacting a consultant directly.

In some cases, parents are in no hurry to register their child. Some explain it by lack of time, others by lack of knowledge of the laws of the Russian Federation. But the birth of a baby does not relieve the responsibility to act according to the law of the Russian Federation.

It is necessary to register a child for several reasons:

Adhere to the norms of the legal system of the Russian Federation. The law clearly states that all infants must, within a certain period, be registered at the place of residence of one of the parents.
Obtaining all rights in the Russian Federation. Having a registration does not complicate the ability to get a place in a kindergarten, school, or obtain a medical insurance policy.
