Registration of a newborn through the MFC: is it possible to register a child at the place of residence (necessary documents, deadlines)

The birth of a child entails not only joyful and pleasant moments, but also additional troubles and worries that can take a lot of time and effort. These include the need to issue the first official document in a person’s life—a birth certificate. Russian legislation (Federal Law No. 143 of November 15, 1997 “On Civil Status Acts”) requires that such a document be received within a month from the date of birth of the child. This can be done at the registry office. Those who cannot go to the registry office have no choice but to obtain a child’s birth certificate at the MFC.

Multifunctional centers (MFC): what is it?

The abbreviation “MFC” is known to almost every Russian today. The decoding speaks for itself: a multifunctional center that provides both individuals and legal entities with a wide range of government and municipal services.

The exercise has become very popular among the population of the Russian Federation. Constant improvement of the MFC system, expansion of the list and range of services, updating of the regulatory framework contribute to the implementation of the main idea of creating such centers - promptly providing every Russian citizen with the necessary documents for:

birth of a child;
changing the last name, first name and patronymic;
registration of a pension;
loss of documents;
individual construction;
;
driver's license exchange;
the emergence of land and property relations;
entrepreneurship;
loss of a family member or relative;
purchasing housing, etc.

The deadlines for temporary registration are established in clause 12 of Resolution 713. In the standard version, the registration authority is required to carry out registration actions. registration is given no more than 3 working days from the date of receipt of the application and other documents. But if the applicant does not provide a social lease agreement or a title document for the premises, then this period is extended to 8 working days (clause 9 of resolution 713).

What are the benefits of contacting the MFC?

To understand why multifunctional centers are useful, you just need to remember the numerous offices of officials, waiting in queues, inconvenient schedules of visiting and non-reception days, doors that slam in front of you due to a lunch break, and other bureaucratic joys.

Among the main advantages of the MFC are:

wide range of services. It is possible to obtain dozens of documents in one place;
reducing the waiting time for documents to be ready;
electronic queue. You can freely manage your time and show up exactly at the appointed time;
convenient working hours (from 8.00 to 20.00, without lunch breaks, including on Saturdays from 8.00 to 17.00). You can receive the required document at any convenient time;
leveling out factors such as bureaucracy, rudeness, and inattention on the part of officials. Increased comfort;
the ability to contact any MFC, regardless of place of residence (with the exception of Moscow and St. Petersburg);
excluding the use of corruption schemes.

Deadlines

Permanent registration does not have a validity period; temporary registration is issued only for 90 days with the right to re-register for the same period. After this, you need to be discharged or obtain permanent residence.

When contacting the MFC, the registration period will increase due to the need to send requests to other authorized structures regarding registration. So, if the standard registration at the passport office can take from 3 to 5 days, in some cases the stamp is affixed on the day the application is submitted, then when applying to the MFC this period can reach 8 days.

In addition to the MFC, registration can be accomplished in the following ways:

through the passport office;
in the company servicing the house (homeowners association, housing office, housing department, management organization, etc.);
at the Federal Migration Service of Russia in person;
through the electronic portal “State Services”;
when contacting a unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs performing the functions of an MFC.

When submitting an application through the online government services service, prior registration and user identification are required. After this, an expanded list of electronic services will become available, including online registration.

When you go to the appropriate section, an application form opens, available for filling out; when registering a foreigner at the place of residence, it is possible to pay the state fee via the Internet from a bank card or electronic wallets.

Before contacting a specific MFC, you need to clarify whether the department deals with the issue of registration. In federal cities such as St. Petersburg and Moscow, most centers are not within the competence of the institutions and they recommend contacting the passport office or the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation at the location of the property.

The features of permanent registration are discussed in the article: permanent registration. Read the documents required to register a newborn child with his mother here.

Read about what documents are needed to register a child with his father here.

Who can act as an applicant to the MFC

Any parent can act as an applicant on behalf of the newborn. The question of whether it is possible to issue a birth certificate to non-parents at the MFC is quite common. Yes, an authorized relative or acquaintance can replace parents: parents must write a letter of application in any form. In addition to information about this person, it must indicate the child’s desired name and patronymic (if the mother is a single mother). To submit documents, the authorized person must present a letter and his passport.

In Moscow and St. Petersburg, applications to the MFC are submitted if the child was born in these cities or if both or one of the parents is registered here.

Design features

There are cases when the registration of a minor has its own specifics related to life circumstances.

With only one parent

What to do if mother and father live separately.

Parents can agree among themselves with whom the child will live. In this case, when registering a minor with one of the adults, written consent from the second is not required.

Firstly, registration on living space is of a notification nature, not a permit. Secondly, clause 2.2 of the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 984 establishes that the applicant can be one of the parents. If an MFC employee does not accept an application without the consent of the other parent, he must provide a written refusal with reference to the normative act.

This issue is spelled out in the Family Code of the Russian Federation (Clause 3, Article 65). If the mother and father cannot agree amicably, they can draw up an agreement that does not need to be notarized. The main thing is that their signatures should be there. Otherwise, parents can go to court.

Upon receipt of your passport

A minor is considered a person under 18 years of age. However, already at the age of 14, a young man or girl receives a passport. With the onset of this event, the teenager has every right to independently choose his place of residence.

The guarantee of freedom of choice for a minor is:

The Civil Code of the Russian Federation (clause 2, article 20), which clearly stipulates that children under 14 years of age live with their legal representatives;
Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 984 (replacing the expired Order of the Federal Migration Service No. 288 of September 11, 2012), where paragraph 2 states that the applicant is a Russian who has reached the age of 14 years.

A teenager can independently come to the MFC and register separately from their parents (guardians, adoptive parents). To do this, he must provide:

application in form No. 6 or No. 1;
passport;
consent in writing from the tenant (owner) of the property and adults living with him that they are not against the registration of the applicant.

The result of the service will be a note in the passport about registration at the place of residence or a certificate of registration at the place of stay.

However, if a 14-year-old boy or girl is incapacitated or has limited legal capacity, the issues of registration are resolved for them by their legal representatives.

In public housing

Based on paragraph 1 of Art. 70 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, when registering a child under 14 years old with one of the parents in a residential area provided under a social tenancy agreement, the consent of the tenant and the persons living with him is not required. Even if the area allocated to each family member decreases, this is not a reason for refusal.

In a private house

When registering a minor with a parent for living space owned by another citizen, the latter’s consent is not required. Based on clause 2 of Art. 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the child must live with his legal representative.

In emergency housing

The legislation does not consider emergency housing as a basis for refusal of registration. A child under 14 years of age can be registered in this living space.

In judicial practice, there are cases where the court has determined that the actions of registration department employees who did not register a child in emergency housing were unlawful.

If a citizen is denied a service or the registration deadlines are violated, he has the right to file a complaint with the management of the unit on the basis of Chapter. V Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 984. In case of unsatisfactory resolution of the issue, the legal representative may go to court.

What documents need to be submitted to the MFC

Those who do not know what documents are needed to obtain a birth certificate at the MFC should take into account that in addition to the mandatory basic ones - an application, parents’ passports (subject to its conclusion) and a medical certificate of birth (from a maternity hospital or from a private doctor) you may need additional papers.

This will happen if:

parents are in a civil marriage. An additional certificate of paternity establishment or a court decision recognizing it will be required;
the child was born from a surrogate mother. This is a rarer situation, and in this case, the consent of the woman in labor will be necessary to register the biological parents in the certificate;
the child was born outside the maternity hospital and without medical care. A statement is required from a witness who was present at the birth.

Check out the list of required items in more detail.

Who has the right to apply?

According to the law, not only the parents of the baby who was born can apply for a birth certificate. The Civil Code provides a list of persons who have the right to apply for such a document:

Adult citizens, children aged 14 years and older, adults.
Guardianship and trusteeship authorities.
Legal representatives of the child.
Relatives of the deceased citizen.

For each group, there are some nuances for filling out a standard application, but, in general, the procedure is quite similar.

What to do if parents are not married?

Sometimes the parents are not in a marital relationship or the baby’s father is actually absent. In this case, the certificate is drawn up as follows:

in case of an unregistered marriage, the father’s data is entered into the birth certificate on the basis of the paternity record;
when there is no information about the baby’s father, the mother has the right to indicate the parent’s information at her own discretion or give the child her own surname;
if the mother does not want to include information about the second parent in the certificate, then a blank is placed in this column;
in case of divorce, when a child was born before 300 days from the date of divorce, the father is considered to be the man with whom the marriage was concluded.

The last rule applies to situations where the marriage is declared invalid or upon the death of the father.

The procedure for obtaining a birth certificate at the MFC

First of all, you should make an appointment in advance. This can be done in person by visiting the MFC and receiving a card indicating the day and time of the visit from the operator, or remotely. This can be done remotely:

On the site .
You need to go to the site and register/log in. On the website - select “Enroll in queue”, find the desired region, select a specific MFC and make an appointment
When registering, you must select the desired service. Indicate: the number of cases, the desired date and time of the visit, your full name and phone number. Fill out the captcha (enter the numbers from the picture) and get your number in the queue.
by phone. The telephone numbers of all MFCs are on the website https://mfc.rf/. Having called the desired MFC, all the necessary data should be discussed with the operator, who will offer possible dates and times of the visit.

It is important to know: you must appear on the appointed day exactly at the appointed time. If you are late, after a few minutes of absence, your turn automatically moves to the next customer behind you. In this case, you will need to repeat the queuing procedure.

Obtaining a birth certificate from the MFC involves a visit to the center by parents (in case of an officially registered marriage and a common surname, one of them) or authorized representatives.

They must fill out application form No. 1

and submit all papers. In the case of a civil marriage or if the surnames of the spouses are different, both must be present. When registering a child for a single mother, all information is recorded in her words, and the child receives the mother’s surname.

How much does registration cost and when can I receive the document?

Registration of a birth document does not require payment. Everything related to the necessary documents - the issuance of a medical certificate at the maternity hospital, the application form, the certificate itself and its execution, as well as the subsequent registration of the child’s place of residence - are free services.

Speaking about the timing of readiness and issuance, it should be noted that issuing a birth certificate for a newborn at the MFC is a process as short as a visit to the registry office. Provided that a complete set of required papers is submitted, the completed document will be delivered on the same day. The process can be delayed by the absence of a document or a detected error in the parent documents.

It is important to know: the child’s birth certificate received since February 2013 (Federal Law No. 183 of November 12, 2012). Otherwise, it will lose legitimacy and you will have to contact the registry office or MFC to replace it.

What documents are issued by hand?

To obtain a birth certificate, the recipient must present his or her passport. The applicant receives a completed document form with a signature and seal, as well as a certificate F-No. 24.

This certificate is given in place of a medical certificate from the maternity hospital, it remains valid for 6 months and will be needed to receive a one-time federal financial benefit for a child (in 2020 - 15,512.65 rubles) from the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation. This benefit is paid to each newborn child. Single mothers are given a certificate F No. 25 to receive a monthly benefit.

Detailed Guide

The baby has the right to register in the property household of his parents, which is the direct responsibility of the mother and father. You can pick up a coupon in advance at the multifunctional department of the city, then come to the employee at the indicated hours along with the necessary documents.

Documents at the MFC for registration of a newborn:

Identification documents of the designer.
Circular about the birth of a child.
Precept for marriage.
If parents are registered in different territories, then written permission from one of them will be required.
Providing registration in the father's property is possible if there is a certificate stating that the child is not registered in the mother's territory.
Application order in form.

Further registration of the newborn through the MFC is completed easily. The circulars are handed over to a specialist who will make several copies for the designers to sign. This is evidence of what circulars you submitted to the case. The job of the MFC specialist is to notify the date of receipt of the completed certificate.

A family friend is also allowed to register, but with the consent of the other residents. This is how the procedure at the MFC differs. The registration of a newborn is issued without the consent of the co-owners. This procedure does not need to be done every year; registration is carried out once, unless you want to register in a new place.

In multifunctional centers, the registration process lasts about 3 days, but sometimes additional time is required to clarify some data. Therefore, the procedure can last up to a week.

Citizens have already identified several positive aspects in the opening of multifunctional centers.

Firstly, there is a huge opportunity for the population to get advice.
Secondly, it takes very little time to submit the necessary documentation.
Thirdly, the answer is received within 3 days.

The Government of the Russian Federation has not yet approved the bill where the newborn should be registered, but this does not mean that this procedure should be delayed. Failure to do this will result in fines.

Registration plays a big role in the life of the population. After all, without it you won’t be able to take advantage of the privileges. Without registration, they will not issue a medical insurance policy, apply for benefits or get a job.

How can I restore a birth document through the MFC?

There are several reasons for restoring a birth certificate. This is its loss, rendering unusable, lamination. Restoring a lost certificate is possible by personally contacting the registry office, through State Services, or the MFC.

Not only children's birth certificates are lost, but also documents of adult family members. A certificate may be urgently needed if:

;
registration of inheritance;
confirmation of family ties;
confirmation of maiden name;
registration of pension, etc.

The question of how to restore an adult’s birth certificate through the MFC or in another way becomes especially relevant in the context of natural and man-made disasters, fires, and military operations.

To issue a new document for an adult or child through the MFC, you must:

sign up for the electronic queue;
appear on time, leave the completed application F-No. 18
package of documents and pay the state fee (the amount is the same for both adults and children - 350 rubles). For an adult applicant, a passport and receipt must be provided. For a child - parental passports, parents' marriage certificate, receipt.
It is possible to issue a duplicate even for a person who is no longer alive (this may be necessary in property disputes, inheritance issues, etc.). In this case, you need to add to the list of necessary documents confirmation of your relationship with this person (marriage certificate, birth certificate, adoption certificate, will).
receive a receipt for documents and find out when you can receive a new document.

If the applicant is unable to be personally present at the MFC, his authorized representative has the right to receive a second birth certificate. To do this, you need to write a power of attorney in the name of this person and have it notarized. This power of attorney must also be present in the package of documents.

The procedure for obtaining a duplicate may take several days.

How to register a newborn through the MFC

Registration of a newborn is the responsibility of legal representatives. Bypassing the procedure, it is problematic to obtain social and medical services. A developed system of contacting government agencies allows you to submit an application without queues: in multifunctional centers (MFC), on the State Services website, passport office and territorial management structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD).

To register a child through the MFC, you will need documents; which ones are needed depends on the situation: whether the placement is carried out with both or with one parent.

How can I replace a birth certificate through the MFC?

Replacement of birth certificates through the MFC is practiced quite often. The reason for the replacement may be an undetected error in time and the need to make any amendments or changes to the document, a change of surname or first name. This service is paid - in 2017, for changing your full name with registration and issuing a certificate, you need to pay 1,600 rubles, for correction or change (with the issuance of a new certificate) - 650 rubles.

Free replacement is provided in the following cases:

errors caused by a government official;
name changes upon adoption.

To make changes you must submit:

application (form No. 17);
passport (for a child - parental passports);
valid certificate;
marriage certificate of one or both parents (if you intend to take the surname of your stepfather or stepmother or one of your parents);
to change your full name - f. No. 15;
passport;
valid certificate;
decision of the registry office to correct incorrect information in the document.

The period for reviewing submitted documents is from 1 to 2 months.

How to register a newborn child through the State Services website

The legislation of the Russian Federation does not regulate the period during which it is necessary to obtain registration for a newborn. At the same time, there are many situations when registration will definitely come in handy, for example, when receiving a compulsory medical insurance policy for a child, when visiting a clinic, or when placing a child on a waiting list for kindergarten. Therefore, it is very important to register a newborn as quickly as possible. The opportunity to register appears immediately after the issuance of a birth certificate, which must be obtained before the child turns 1 month old. Fortunately for young mothers and fathers, there is now no need to visit the FMS several times and waste time waiting in line. Now there is a wonderful opportunity to register a newborn child through the State Services portal.

Going abroad: apostilling a birth certificate

To legitimize a birth certificate when leaving for permanent residence, getting married abroad, traveling a child abroad and in other cases, a special stamp is required - an apostille.

The easiest way out would be to affix an apostille to the original certificate. The state duty for this service is 2500 rubles. To do this, you need to make an appointment through State Services or the MFC, provide a passport and the original certificate.

Abroad, they often require a translation with an apostille along with the certificate. To do this, you must contact a translation agency in advance and have the translation and translator’s passport details certified by a notary. In this case, you will have to pay the state duty twice - for apostilling the translation and the document itself. In this case, you must contact the FKU GIAC of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the Information Center of the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

If you are planning to travel abroad with children, then in order to avoid problems with customs and border services, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with where and how you can place them.

Registration in an apartment in the MFC

To carry out mediation operations between citizens and federal authorities, Multifunctional Centers or MFCs were created. Each department has modern means of communication with Rosreestr, the migration service, as well as district and city administrations, which allows you to quickly exchange new data and verify information.

Registration in an apartment at the place of residence is one of the services provided by the MFC. To advise the population on migration issues and improve the work of organizations for registering citizens, MFCs were created.

The information provided corresponds to the data of the Federal Migration Service in matters of resettlement and registration of citizens. In 2020, MFCs received the right to draw up and issue documents with a registration stamp, as well as to deregister citizens at their place of residence. The authorities carry out temporary registration of citizens.

There are 3 main laws that regulate the activities of MFC employees and the registration process at the place of residence:

administrative decree of 2012; Federal Law on the Movement of Citizens Around the Country of 1993; Government Order No. 713 of 1995.

To register at the MFC, you need to complete 5 simple steps:

find the address of the nearest MFC, check the branch’s opening hours; make an appointment online or by phone; collect the required documents; come at the appointed time with all the papers.

In the MFC itself, the procedure for processing documents is as follows: A citizen goes to the department and talks with a department employee.

He checks the submitted documents.

Fills out 2 applications. In the first, he asks to be deregistered at his previous place of residence (if there is one). In the second, the applicant asks to be registered at a new address.

The MFC employee fills out 2 sheets: and. The applicant is scheduled for a follow-up appointment at a specified time.

During this period, the MFC checks the submitted documents and makes a decision. When registering permanently, an MFC employee takes the applicant’s passport.

Refusal to register the birth of a child at the MFC: what are the grounds for this?

In case of refusal of registration, the applicant will be issued a certificate with the reasons for the refusal.

The only reason for an unequivocal refusal to issue a certificate at the MFC may be the foreign citizenship of the applicant. Stateless persons will also receive a refusal.

Citizens of other states and stateless persons will have to apply to obtain a certificate for the child at the registry office.

All other reasons (lack of necessary documents, their inconsistency, errors in filling out forms) will lead to an increase in the period for obtaining a certificate - the number of applications for registration is not limited.

Main nuances when issuing a certificate

There is a ready-made application form for obtaining a certificate on the Internet. It can be downloaded, printed and filled out at home manually or electronically - it doesn’t matter, the main thing is that the data is filled out correctly.

If you have any questions, you can fill out an application directly at the MFC. The center staff will check that you have all the necessary documentation and that your form is filled out correctly. If there is an error in the application, there is a likely risk of not receiving the certificate in a timely manner. Therefore, before submitting your application, make sure there are no spelling or punctuation errors.

Registration of a certificate at the MFC is a simple and convenient task. You will be able to undergo the procedure in comfort and tranquility, and the organization’s staff will advise you on all questions of interest.

After checking the papers you provided, the center employee will give you a receipt, which will say that your application has been accepted, and it will indicate the deadline for receiving the certificate. The wait will take no more than a week. You can check the status of your expected certificate by phone. To do this, the employee must provide the registration number indicated on your receipt. You do not need to come to the center in person to check whether your certificate is ready or not.

You can also check the readiness of the documentation yourself via the Internet. On the official website of the MFC you need to indicate your registration number, then click “check readiness”. You will be given the result of your request. As you can see, the procedure for obtaining a certificate at the MFC is convenient and not difficult.

If you encounter any problems in obtaining a certificate, please contact the center employees. You will be advised about the reason why your certificate is missing: perhaps you did not provide all the required information, or there is a more compelling reason why your birth certificate was denied.

If the reasons for refusal are illegal, you can appeal the center's decision. And if there is an offense, the case will be transferred to the prosecutor's office. There, your application will be reviewed and the appropriate decision will be made.
