Deadlines for registration of a newborn and necessary documents

The baby is born - what next?

The article will not contain information about caring for newborns, how to feed, swaddle, etc. We will only talk about legal issues that need to be resolved, among which the main one is the registration of a newborn child.
How to apply, what documents are needed? After the young mother and her baby are discharged from the maternity hospital, she will receive a number of documents that she will need in the future to obtain a birth certificate. Of course, you shouldn’t immediately run to the registry office, and you won’t have the strength to do it at first, but experts don’t advise delaying this either.

What will you need?

It is not difficult to prepare all the necessary documents for registering a newborn. In standard cases you will need:

• passport of both or one of the parents: a certificate of only the father or only the mother will be sufficient, if the second parent is absent - deceased, location unknown, deprived of parental rights (the fact must be supported by an appropriate certificate);
• birth certificate (issued by the registry office);
• marriage certificate (if available, also issued at the registry office).

The simplest option is to register a newborn child in an apartment where both parents are registered. In this case, they simply come to the passport office or the Federal Migration Service and submit the above package of documents.

Both must be present when submitting documents. If the second parent is not present, then a certificate of the reason for absence must be provided, for example, a court decision on deprivation of parental rights or a death certificate. If the mother cannot come for some reason, then she must give her consent certified by a notary.

The standard procedure for registering a baby takes 3-5 working days.

Where to go to register your place of residence?

This cannot be done online through State Services, because both parents must be present in person when submitting documents. But you can apply for registration through government services.

You can submit documents:

1. To the territorial branch of the MFC at the place of registration of the parents.
2. To the territorial department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at your place of residence.

There is no need to pay for anything. A registration certificate is no longer issued in person, because all the information is in the MIR electronic system.

Documents that will be issued at the maternity hospital

So, after discharge, the mother will be given the following documents filled out by the doctor who was present at the birth:

1. Mother's exchange card. Contains information about how the birth and recovery process took place. This document is sent to the women's department where the young mother was observed.
2. Child exchange card. Contains information about the newborn, including the main ones: gender, weight, height. A health assessment using the Apgar scale is provided (mothers will understand). It is indicated which vaccinations were given and at what time. This data must be transferred to the children's clinic for further monitoring of the baby's health.
3. Certificate of birth of a child. Contains information about where and when the baby was born, who delivered the baby, and confirms the fact of birth. Registration of a child after birth is possible only after receiving a birth certificate. It is issued by the registry office in exchange for this certificate.

Authorization of one of the spouses or another person to register a child (according to the Civil Registry Office form).

The very first documents

To register a child, to apply for care benefits, for birth, to obtain a medical policy - for all this you need to obtain the main document of the baby - a birth certificate. He will use it for fourteen years, that is, until he receives a passport.

To obtain a certificate, you must contact the nearest registry office. There you should provide a certificate issued by the maternity hospital, documents of both parents (passports), as well as a marriage certificate, if any.

It is worth remembering that if both parents who are not legally married are indicated on the birth certificate, then the personal presence of both the father and mother is necessary. If the marriage between the parents is concluded, then a statement from one of the child’s parents will be sufficient.

By the way, many maternity hospitals currently provide a free service for obtaining a birth certificate without visiting the registry office. That is, on the day of discharge, instead of a birth certificate, the young mother receives a certificate, in the presence of which the registration of the newborn child is issued. The service is available to single mothers and officially married parents.

At the registry office, parents will be given a birth certificate and a certificate in the prescribed form, necessary for processing child payments and benefits. This certificate is valid for six months, so during this time it is important to submit documents for benefits. It is worth remembering that benefits will not be assigned if the child’s registration is not completed after birth.

Registration of a newborn, why it is needed - the law

The rules for registering newborn children are regulated by several legislative and by-laws. This procedure is mandatory, but it also allows the parents of the newborn to take certain legal actions.

Thus, the array of regulations is presented as follows:

• Law of the Russian Federation of June 25, 1993 No. 5242-1 “On freedom of movement...”;
• Government Decree of July 17, 1995 No. 713;
• Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offences;
• Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

Thus, Law No. 5242 enshrines the rights of citizens to move freely throughout the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as to choose their place of residence. The registration obligation is enshrined in the said government decree. The Code of Administrative Offenses establishes liability for citizens' lack of registration. And the Civil Code stipulates that up to the age of 14, issues of registering children are decided by parents.

However, why is registration necessary? What legally significant actions does registration of a newborn child allow?

There is no single act establishing such actions. In some cases, this comes from the meaning of the action itself and is not directly reflected in the law. So, if your child is registered, you can do the following:

• receive child benefit;
• receive maternity capital;
• apply for a compulsory medical insurance policy;
• register your child in preschool and school educational institutions and much more.

Thus, registration of a child is necessary for arranging his future life and obtaining financial assistance from the state.

Procedure for registration

Registration procedure
If you are registering a child for the first time, then first you need to obtain a birth certificate for the child. You can obtain a certificate at the registry office by submitting an application and the necessary documents within 30 days from the date of birth of the child.

Next, you need to collect all the other documents for registering your baby in your apartment. You can find the list of required documents above.

If you register your child again, you will need to sign him out from his previous place of residence; if he is over 14 years old, he can receive this stamp immediately before stamping the new registration. For children under 14 years of age, the application is written by parents/guardians; after 14 years of age, children write it themselves.

After submitting the documents, the passport office staff reviews the registration application. If you register in advance, you can be registered on the same day, otherwise registration can take up to two weeks.

On the appointed day, you will need to pick up documents with a registration stamp. After registering at the place of residence, the registered person receives the right to use and live in the apartment.

Who must be present when submitting documents?

To register a minor, both parents must be present. If the parent cannot be present, then a notarized consent for registration is required.

In all cases, the presence of the child, the owners of the property or the persons living there is not required.

Restrictions on registration

Remember that when re-registering, it is not necessary to check out from your previous place of registration in advance. You can be discharged on the same day by putting two stamps “Deregistered” and “Registered”.

Children can only register with a parent or guardian. Registration of a child with another close relative who is not the child’s legal representative is impossible. Registration is carried out at the request of a legal representative. The provisions regarding registration at the place of residence are set out in Article 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

It is important

It is important to know that a child’s registration is necessary to receive child benefits.

A pleasant bonus is the fact that registration of a newborn is free of charge; no fee is charged for this service.

How to register a newborn baby - basic rules

The basic rules when registering a child are as follows:

1. The most important thing is to obtain a birth certificate for the child from the registry office.
2. Registration with the father is possible only if he is officially indicated as the father on the birth certificate.
3. If the father is officially indicated, then registration can be carried out at his place of residence. So, for this, the father, mother and the newborn must come to the housing organization or directly to the passport office and submit an application in Form No. 6.
4. Regardless of which parent the newborn is registered with, the other parent must give consent to this only if they are both not registered at the same address.
5. Along with the application, you must submit some documents that should be collected in advance.
6. The child must be registered within a week of receiving the birth certificate.

After this, the child’s place of residence will be considered the place of residence of the relevant parent. All legally significant actions will be carried out in the departments of government agencies in this particular area.

In what document is the child's registration recorded? The registration of the child at the place of residence will be recorded on a special form (registration certificate), which is considered an attachment to the birth certificate. For details of registration, read a separate article: Registration of a newborn. How and where can I register a newborn child? 6.

Info

Stamps in the parents’ passports about the child At the moment (2018) are no longer strictly mandatory. It will help in any case when you need to prove the parentage of a certain child (for example, if he is lost in a shopping center, because rarely does anyone carry a birth certificate with them), and also, for example, to obtain a foreign passport with information about children.

Where and how can a newborn be registered?

Registration of a newborn in accordance with the provisions of the Family Code is possible only with one of the parents or with both. This regulatory act does not allow separate registration for a newborn child, since the child must permanently reside with his parents.

In the event that the parents live separately, an agreement must be concluded between them on where exactly the child will be registered and live (with the mother or father). The other parent must give notarized consent for the child to live with the other parent.

If such consent has not been formalized, registration will be carried out on the basis of a court decision.

If the child is registered with his father, he must be included in the appropriate line in the birth certificate.

If paternity has not been established, then the man claiming to be the father of the child must contact the registry office to confirm this fact.

Registration with other relatives, unless they have been appointed as guardians of the newborn (due to the mental or physical health of the parents), will not be possible, even if they are immediate.

In addition, registering a child with other relatives, if they are immediate, is possible only if the parents were deprived of parental rights (due to failure to fulfill their duties), or the mother died during childbirth or in the postpartum period, and the father is unknown.

Registration process and required documents

As for older children, the procedure for registering a newborn consists of two large stages:

• Preparation and submission of documents;
• Obtaining a certificate of registration.

There will also be no differences regarding the places of submission of documents:

• They can be sent to the passport office at the child’s place of residence;
• Submit directly to the migration authorities in accordance with the territorial division;
• Refer to the migration authorities through a visit to multifunctional centers at the place of intended registration of the newborn child.

In order for a child to be registered without unnecessary problems, it is necessary to submit the following package of documents:

• Application for registration of a newborn -
• Child's birth certificate;
• Passports of both parents (if registration will be carried out together with both parents), or the one with whom the child will live;
• Marriage certificate between parents (if they are in a registered relationship);
• Documents confirming the status of the premises in which the newborn will be registered as residential (registration of people in non-residential premises is prohibited).

If the parents live separately from each other, you will have to provide a notarized consent to register with the other parent and a certificate stating that the child does not live with him - to the parent with whom the child will not be registered.

Statement

This document is decisive when registering a newborn. It is for this reason that special attention is paid to filling it out.

The contents of this document should reflect the following data:

• The name of the migration authority where the application is submitted, indicating its territorial affiliation;
• Information about the applicant (parent or other legal representative), including all his passport data;
• Information about the residential premises in which the newborn will be registered;
• Information about the child (his last name, first name and patronymic, date of birth, gender);
• Information about the child’s birth certificate;
• Information about documents confirming the right to move into a specific premises;
• Date of application and signature of the applicant.

The correct completion of this document is checked at the time of submission of the entire package to the migration authorities, passport office or MFC.

Mom and dad are legally married

If the baby’s parents have a marriage certificate in their hands, they are officially husband and wife, then they can register it at any address if they have registration issued at different addresses. At the same time, during the issuance of the baby’s birth certificate, his main document, the father can be anywhere, he does not have to come. His paternity will still be confirmed. If the marriage had not been confirmed, and the man had missed the issuance of the document, then he would not have been mentioned - a dash would have been put in the father column. It turns out that the child will not be able to live with him legally.

Note! If the parents are registered in one place, apartment or house, then the mother or father can handle the paperwork, including picking up the completed document. There is no need to be present together when registering a newborn.

Registration with mother

If you have to register a baby with the mother, then only her presence is provided. When the document is received after the child is one month old, you must remember to take a copy from the house register where the newborn’s father lives. The paper indicates everyone who officially lives in the apartment; the child should not be there.

Registration with father

Brief step-by-step instructions on how to submit documents if you plan to register your baby with your dad:

• Both parents must come for registration;
• Bring the entire package of documents, namely passports, a birth certificate received in advance, an application with the address where you plan to live with the child, extracts from the house register, confirmation of marriage, if any;
• The mother will have to give consent, drawn up as a statement in which she confirms that she has nothing against the fact that her son or daughter is registered in the father’s apartment. If a woman cannot come in person, then the man is obliged to bring her consent, but only notarized.

The need for owner consent

The law does not provide for restrictions if parents register their child in the same place where they are registered and live themselves. That is, it does not matter whether they are home owners. The state is not interested in who owns the house or apartment. The main thing is that they are the place of residence of mom or dad or both of them. The owner cannot prohibit the registration of a newborn in the same living space. This means that you do not need to obtain any documents from him. However, he can be brought to administrative responsibility, because for the fact that someone lives in an apartment owned by a person without registration, a fine is imposed.

Note! The opportunity to register an infant in non-owned housing can only be used once. When you have to register the child again, you won’t be able to do it without the owner’s permission.

Problems may arise if the apartment is taken out on a mortgage. It happens that there is a clause in the contract that no one can be registered in it except the person who makes the monthly payments. This rule also applies to the borrower’s children. Then the issue can be resolved in court and, as an exception, it can be recorded that the baby does not live where his mother and father are officially registered.

If the parents rent an apartment and officially live in another place, then the child can be temporarily registered. However, it will only be valid for 90 days.

The apartment is not owned

When the baby’s mother and father are not the owners of the apartment, this does not serve as an obstacle to the child’s registration in it. The main thing is that they are registered there. According to the law, the baby must be close to them; the state cannot prevent this.

Family

A temporary registration is issued for the child. It is valid for the entire period that his parents have the right to legally reside in the given territory. Then you need to submit the documents again.

Where can minor citizens be registered?

In accordance with Part 2 of Art. 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the place of residence of a minor under 14 years of age must be the address where the parents or one of them reside.

This formulation is a reflection of the child’s right to live in a family (Article 54 of the RF IC).

The controversial issue is the different registration of parents. This issue is usually resolved by agreement, but the written consent of both parents is required to determine the child’s place of residence. Problems arise with determining registration if:

• parents cannot agree among themselves which of them will have the minor registered with them;
• they live in a rented apartment, but are registered at a different address.

In the first case, the issue is resolved based on the provisions of paragraph 2 of Art. 65 RF IC. All disagreements are resolved through the guardianship and trusteeship authority or the court, and they, in turn, establish the registration of the child based on his interests. In the second case, parents are obliged to register the child at their own place of registration.

Children whose parents are unknown, deceased or deprived of parental rights are registered at the place of residence of the person who is his legal representative.

You cannot leave a minor without registration. Violation of registration rules is an administrative offense established by Art. 19.15.1 and threatens parents with a fine. In addition, without at least temporary registration, the child will not be accepted into kindergarten or school, and difficulties will arise with providing medical care.

Registration of a child after birth - timing

The registration period is established by Government Resolution No. 713. According to it, when changing the address, persons are required to register at the corresponding address 7 days in advance. However, how long can you avoid registering a newborn?

In the case of a newborn, he must be registered within 7 days from the day the certificate was issued or within a month from the date of birth. However, there are exceptions depending on how long the certificate was received.

At the same time, the law establishes a six-month residence rule. So, when a child lives in a house for more than six months, even when he is not registered there, he is automatically recognized as registered there. In this case, it will be necessary to prove how long the children have lived there.

However, the child's parents will have problems in the form of administrative fines. Thus, Article 19.15.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses establishes monetary fines for violating the registration procedure.

Temporary registration of a newborn

Temporary registration differs from permanent registration in terms of validity, but the registration procedure generally remains the same. You can register a newborn at the place of registration of one of the parents, guardian, trustee or adoptive parent. For registration, you must provide the following documents to the migration department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation:

1. Birth certificate.
2. Completed application form.

The only difference between temporary registration and permanent registration is that in this way a newborn can be registered only with his mother, father, guardian or trustee. It is not possible to register your child separately.

How to apply - step-by-step instructions

When it comes to a child’s initial registration or change of place of residence, this must be done within 7 days. Missing this deadline may result in an administrative fine. Let's consider the procedure for obtaining registration.

Where to go?

To register a child, you can submit a package of documents:

• directly to the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
• to the passport office of the Criminal Code at the place of residence;
• in the MFC;
• to the State Services portal.

Submitting documents through the MFC has become increasingly popular in recent years. The procedure is no different from its implementation with the help of conventional government agencies. The list of documents is the same everywhere. The advantages of filing through this body include:

• processing time no more than 1 week;
• there is no need to make copies of the information yourself (they will be made by the Center’s specialists);
• no queues and convenient submission of documents through one window.

Through the State Services portal, all information is transmitted online, but this method will not save you from going to one of the specified authorities, because Original documents must also be provided.

Package of documents

To carry out initial registration at the place of residence or registration of parents (one of the parents), the following documents will be needed:

• child's birth (or adoption) certificate;
• parents' passports;
• marriage registration certificate;
• applications and parental consent for registration;
• certificate from the Unified State Register of Real Estate.

This is just the main list. Other documents may be required depending on the conditions and nuances of registration.

Terms and cost of registration

Registration for citizens of the Russian Federation is free of charge. The waiting period depends on the method of submission:

• MFC – within 1 week;
• Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs - 3 days;
• UK passport office – from 7-10 days;
• State Services portal – up to 3 days.

We recommend that you look at our articles about whether it is possible to place a child in a preschool educational institution or school without permanent registration, as well as where to get a certificate of registration of a child in Form 8, and what is needed in order to obtain it.

Features of registration of a newborn

A newborn up to the age of 18 is recognized as a child and has a range of rights that extend to the housing sector. That is why you should understand the features of the baby’s registration:

1. The owner's consent is not required to carry out registration actions.
2. Migration department specialists cannot require consent to register a child from other persons living in the residential premises.
3. You cannot delay the procedure, otherwise medical, social and other assistance may be denied.
4. If registration is being organized at the place of residence of one of the parents, it is necessary to obtain consent from the other, or to appear at the passport office together. Otherwise there may be a refusal.
5. If the parents are not officially married, they can choose any place to register the baby.

Each parent must first take care of registering their newborn baby. This is an important legal action that has legal consequences.

Is registration possible without the consent of the property owner?

Many people ask the same question: can a newborn be registered without the prior consent of the property owner?

Answering this question, we can say with confidence that, on the basis of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, minor children have the right to be registered at the place of residence of the father or mother without obtaining the prior consent of the property owner.

What does this mean? In simple words, if the owner agreed to register one of the parents with him, then his child can be registered without the knowledge of the owner of the house.

In the future, he can only be discharged forcibly by a court decision or when he reaches the age of majority.

Fine for lack of registration for a newborn

Art. 19.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for liability for failure to fulfill the obligation to register at a new place of residence. The law does not provide for a separate type of punishment for the lack of registration of a newborn, so in such a situation the general rules will apply.

In St. Petersburg and Moscow, the fine for lack of registration ranges from 3 to 5 thousand rubles. In other cities, fines range from 2 to 3 thousand. No other punishment is established by law.

De-registration and registration in another place

Improving living conditions after the birth of a child makes it possible to register in another place. Another situation is when the parents are divorced, but by agreement of the parties they decided that the newborn will live with the father. Formally, a child's permission is not required until the age of 14.

Procedure:

1. Contact the Federal Migration Service, Housing Office or passport office at the place of new registration to obtain an extract sheet.
2. Fill it out and take it along with the documents to cancel your old registration.
3. Complete the registration procedure at your new place of residence.
4. Pick up passports after stamping them.

This can only be done with the mutual consent of the parents, or at the request of the mother. In this case, the father must go to court to make a decision on whether the newborn should live with him.

When to register a newborn in an apartment:

Important! One of the reasons for registering in another place with mom or dad is deprivation of the other parental rights. This is done only through the court, on the initiative of the other parent or guardianship authorities.

Where children are registered, in what organizations

According to current legislation, you can submit an application to one of the following organizations:

• to the passport office (to the migration service department);
• to a housing organization if the spouses live in an apartment building;
• to any branch of the MFC;
• through the government services portal.

At the same time, the list of documents and the application form for registration do not change. Only the review time frame may change. So, when submitting an application directly to the passport office, registration is carried out within one day. When registering through an MFC or housing organization, the period may be three days.

On the government services portal, you can register a newborn child in an apartment instantly, within a few hours. However, you must submit the correct package of documents and fill out the application without errors.

Registration through Gosulugi

In order to register a newborn through the State Services website, you must register on it in advance, since registration consists of two stages - filling out the form yourself and activating your account through Rostelecom.

1. You need to visit the site in a specific region
2. Select the section dedicated to registration of citizens
3. Select the option to receive the service and fill in the information for the registered person

After filling in all the required fields, you must select the territorial unit in which the service should be provided.

The dates on which the applicant will have to appear for an appointment will be generated automatically by the system based on three working days from the date of acceptance of the documents.

Registration of a newborn is mandatory, since a person, as soon as he is born, already becomes a full citizen of the Russian Federation.

He can only be registered with his parents (in exceptional cases, registration with close relatives is possible). The registration procedure can be carried out either through direct contact with the migration authorities or through the State Services website.

Where to register

What documents are required from residents of the Russian Federation for registration of a newborn child? To correctly answer this question, you will have to study the legislative basis for registering children.

By law, citizens must register their children with one of their legal representatives. Today, the following scenarios apply depending on the age of the registered person:

• up to 10 years - registration only with parents (with one of them);
• 10-14 years old - possibility of registration with close relatives;
• 14-18 years old - registration with the consent of the child.

Children can be registered in any housing suitable for permanent residence. The main thing is to follow a certain algorithm of actions.
