Why do you need registration for a newborn?
You must purchase registration in order to:
adhere to the legislative act of the Russian Federation | the child must be registered as quickly as possible |
was able to officially become a citizen of Russia | Without this information sheet it is impossible to send a small child to kindergarten and issue him a medical insurance policy |

Deadlines and fines
The exact and unambiguous time frame within which a newborn should be registered is not specified in the law on registration of a newborn child for 2020. But, at the same time, the baby is subject to the general law for all persons on staying on the territory of the Russian Federation for more than 90 days without registration (Article 19.15 of the Administrative Code).
In other words, if you do not register your child within three months, you, as his representative, will be fined in the amount of 1,500 - 2,500 rubles.
In addition, you will not be able to obtain other important documents for the child: a medical policy, certificates from social security authorities necessary for applying for benefits, etc. An unregistered child cannot be put on the waiting list for kindergarten.
Finally, we will talk about the temporary registration of a newborn child.

- It is best to conclude the document within 30 days.
- In order to register where the father lives, an application from both parents must be provided. The mother's document must be certified by a notary.

There are cases when registration is carried out in an apartment that does not belong to either the father or the mother. In this situation, it is not necessary to obtain the owner’s consent to register the child.
In addition, there is no need to obtain a positive response from people who live with the family.
If a child moves into a private house, then information about this is entered into the house register.
Application format for child registration
The standard format of an application for registration of a child requires the following information:
- full name of the selected branch of the Migration Service where the registration procedure will be carried out;
- old address, full name and date of birth;
- filling out all the necessary information about the place of registration (in this case, you need to be especially careful when indicating the date and number of the document on the basis of which the registration procedure is carried out);
- at the end of the document you must indicate the applicant’s passport details, as well as leave the applicant’s signature and the date of preparation of the specified document.
Design methods
Many people wonder where they can register. There are several options where you can contact:
- To the housing and maintenance department of the place where the newborn will live in the future.
- To the territorial department of the migration service.
- To the nearest MFC department.
Let's talk about how you can register a child and consider some situations:
- You must purchase a child's birth certificate. Parents can complete this procedure by contacting the registry office with the following documents:
- passport;
- a certificate confirming that the marriage has been consummated;
- information sheet that tells about the birth of a child.
Important! If the parents are divorced or did not consummate the marriage at all, then registration at the mother’s place is carried out with her application, and at the father’s place - on the basis of documents from both parents or in connection with a court decision. If the father does not establish paternity, then the newborn will not be able to live with him.
- Go to the registration department and write a statement on form No. 6.
- In addition, do not forget to present the following documents:
- birth certificate;
- passports of two parents if they are married, or a document confirming the identity of one of the parents in any other case;
- a certificate of official confirmation that the marriage has been concluded;
- the necessary document of a private residential premises, which contains information about the people who live in the apartment;
- information sheet of financial and personal account for the place where the family lives;
- certificate of registration of ownership of housing;
- information document about the personal housing account.
- All documents must be completed within 1 to 7 days.
Please note that you may not need the entire package of documents, but only part of it, since some may already be entered into the passport service database.
However, if you do not want to waste your time and visit the organization several times, then we advise you to take everything you need at once.
Guardianship procedure
The currently existing family legislation was created in order to protect the needs of the future of our country, including the right of each of them to have their own family and be raised in it.
It is the most important and fundamental of all rights existing today.
The legislation states that new parents are immediately entrusted with a great responsibility, which consists in supporting children who have not yet reached adulthood. Guardians are obliged to take care of their well-being in all areas of life, health, participate in their development and create comfortable living conditions.
Unfortunately, today, many children are deprived of such simple happiness as a family. And this happens for various reasons: not always the fault of the parents. Due to various circumstances, a child may remain an orphan and then he is transferred to the authorized bodies or to the care of guardians.
Guardianship is a type of definition of children when they are accepted into a new family not as a half-blooded child, but for upbringing. It is important to note the fact that it can only be issued for those children who have not yet turned fourteen years old.
For children older than this age, guardianship is applied. It consists of caring for and controlling a teenager until he comes of age.
There are several cases in which a guardian may be appointed for a child (who is under eighteen years of age):
- sudden death of both spouses;
- deprivation of parental rights;
- significant reduction of rights to the baby;
- recognition of both spouses as incapacitated or limited in their ability to work;
- parents ignore their direct responsibilities towards their own child, which relate to upbringing, maintenance and support;
- constant absence of parents near the child due to work activities (travelling on business trips, working abroad);
- absence of parents due to being in prison;
- the presence of unfavorable conditions that violate the established interests of a child who has not yet reached the age of majority;
- list of other circumstances.
Registration of guardianship is not an easy and rather lengthy procedure. In order for it to be successful, a whole list of necessary conditions must be met. Representatives of the guardianship authority participate in this action.
To persons applying for guardianship, these government organizations issue an opinion after a detailed analysis of the papers submitted with the application. Do not forget that without the conclusion of an organization with certain powers, subsequent registration will be impossible.
In order to clearly receive a conclusion that confirms the possibility of becoming a guardian, you should bring the following package of documents to the relevant organization:
- statement of initiative to become a guardian;
- certificate from the place of work, which confirms a stable financial position;
- a certificate confirming residence in a house or apartment and rights to it (her);
- a certificate confirming the absence of a criminal record and stay in places of restriction of freedom;
- a doctor’s report confirming the absence of fatal diseases;
- biography of the applicant;
- consent to guardianship of all members of the applicant’s family in writing;
- living conditions survey paper.
After a detailed analysis and study of all received documents, certificates and conclusions, the guardianship authority makes a final decision. If the applicant meets all the requirements, a positive verdict is issued.
After receiving a positive response, the person can take the following steps to formalize a child custody agreement.
How to register a newborn
The basic procedure is as follows:
- take a birth certificate from the clinic;
- such a document will allow you to purchase a birth certificate;
- Next you need to get an information sheet from the house register;
- sign them with the chairman of the housing maintenance office or the council;
- go to utility organizations to obtain certificates containing information about the person registered in the register (remember that each paper must have a stamp);
- On a day off from work, visit the registry office or MFC. Please allow plenty of time for this as there may be a queue at the branch.
It is almost impossible to compile the entire package of documents in a day, so it is better to spend about a week on this.
Form No. 6: sample application for registration of a child at the place of residence
If landlords do not agree to register children living in their apartment, they need to be informed that the owner of the property faces administrative punishment for finding persons without registration. There are two ways to register children in the apartment of relatives or friends where the mother and father are not registered:
- register your stay (temporary or permanent) for the mother or father in the apartment with the child;
- a more complex procedure involves registering the owner of the area as the child’s guardian.
Legislative acts do not provide a clear framework for registering a newborn at the place of stay.
Attention
But it is better to complete this procedure as quickly as possible. Then it will be possible to apply for benefits, get services at the clinic, and get on the waiting list for kindergarten. A family that does not register a child for a long time may become interested in the relevant authorities.
What documents are needed
In addition to the originals, you must show copies of the information sheets. The main package of documents includes:
- passports of both parents;
- birth certificate of the newborn;
- certificate stating that two people are married;
- a statement from the parent as confirmation that he agrees for the child to live at the place of registration of the other parent.
Registration process through State Services
In order to submit an application for registration online, first of all, you need to go to your personal account on this site using your login and password, and then in the proposed catalog and “Registration at your place of residence”. Next, on the page that opens, where the description of the service will be indicated, you need to click the “Get service” button.
When carrying out this procedure, it is mandatory to give consent to the processing of personal information, and also give an additional warning about the liability that is provided for in the event that government officials provide knowingly false information.
Next, you can decide on the location and option of submitting an application for yourself as an adult or a minor, or for another minor as a representative.
Once the option of filing an application as a representative of a minor is selected, you will need to indicate the type of representative, that is, the applicant’s status indicating his passport information. In the future, contact and personal data will be automatically loaded from your personal account settings.
Next, you need to provide information about the child himself, that is, his gender, full name, place and date of birth, as well as information from the birth certificate. In the field with contact information, accordingly, information about the representative himself is entered.
The address at which the child will be registered is also indicated, and the previous address must also be indicated if he has already been registered before. Ultimately, information is indicated on the basis of which the applicant intends to register the child in the territory of the specified living space.
After specifying the required statistical information, you will need to select the address of the department to which applications will be submitted, as well as the notification format. Within three days, Migration Service employees will check the information provided and send an invitation to the nearest office to the specified contacts.
How to fill out an application
In accordance with the law, registration of a newborn occurs only after the organization has submitted an application, which was drawn up in Form No. 6.
To avoid any difficulties during registration, pay attention to the sample attached below. If you don’t want to waste time on this, then you can simply get this document at the passport office.
Once you have the information sheet in your hands, you will need to enter the following information:
- the specific name of the department where the application for future registration of the child will be left;
- due to the absence of parents of the newborn, documents must be provided containing information about all guardians;
- indicate in whose name the apartment is registered;
- enter information on the basis on which the newborn is registered at this address;
- the exact address of the future place of residence of the child and his parents;
- date and signature.
If you want to simplify the procedure for registering a child, then follow the tips described below:
- In the period up to 30 days after the birth of a newborn, parents hardly encounter any difficulties that affect the issue of registration of registration in the apartment where one of the parents lives. It is better at this time to bring to the FMS the mother’s application and an information document that confirms the place of residence of the child’s real father.
- If the parents jointly decide to register a small child in the premises where the father lives, then the father will need to fill out an application and present all the necessary documents. It must also be remembered that the father must submit the application first, and then the mother will submit a document confirming the implementation of such a procedure. Do not forget to have the document certified by a notary.
- A child can be assigned to any place of residence if the parents are the owners. It should be added that when applying for temporary registration, it is possible to register at the exact address where the mother of the newborn is located. In another situation, it can be freely registered not only with parents, since they are already automatically registered with this housing.
A sample application is available.
Application for registration
Depending on the basis for refusal to register, the statement of claim must contain certain information. The registration of a child depends on how competently such an application is drawn up.
No. | Grounds for refusal of registration | Information and documents that must be attached to the statement of claim |
1 | Refusal due to lack of documents for registration (if they are not specified in the law as mandatory) | Registration is issued on the basis of certain documents, a list of which is contained in the law. The requirement to provide others is illegal. The statement of claim must list the documents submitted and a document indicating their acceptance. |
2 | Refusal due to lack of consent of the property owner | Registration for a child can be issued without the consent of the property owner. The statement of claim should establish the fact of residence and registration at the same address of the mother |
3 | Refusal due to violation of accounting standards | The child has the right to register and be at the same address as the mother. The statement of claim must indicate the possibility of maintaining conditions for the child’s development and the good condition of the housing, and collect certificates confirming this fact. |
4 | Refusal of the guardianship authorities to issue permission to register in a new place | The statement of claim must be drawn up in such a way that it implies the need to change the address to improve conditions, gain the opportunity to enroll in another school, and so on. |
5 | Refusal to register a child at the dacha | It should follow from the text of the statement of claim that the house in which registration is required is residential, located on settlement lands and is in a condition suitable for habitation |
In any case, the statement of claim should indicate contact information for prompt communication, as well as state the circumstances of the case as fully as possible. The claim procedure for resolving disputes regarding registration at the place of residence significantly facilitates the implementation of the child’s rights, however, when using this method, registration will be obtained no earlier than in a couple of months.
Deadlines
Most people ask how long it will take to register. The law states that it is necessary to register a child in the first 3 months from the date of birth, but it will be better if you deal with this issue within 30 days after birth.
There are cases when the registration process is delayed due to parents, queues or poor performance of employees in the organization, as a result of which all documents are processed for a very long time and the procedure exceeds the established deadline.
If you do not want to face this kind of problem, it is better to take care of all the important details in advance and start the registration process as early as possible.
To begin with, you should at least call the passport office or migration service so that the employees can tell you what documents you need.
You will only need to go to the department to fill out an application and purchase certificates.
Do not ignore the approved laws, because if you do not register within the established time frame, you will need to pay a fine (2,000–2,500 rubles - for small cities, for the capital - in the range from 5,000 to 6,500 rubles).
In practice, there are cases when young parents think that if their child has a birth certificate, the newborn is already legally a member of their country. This is actually not true.
Until you register your child, he will not be able to attend kindergarten, attend school or seek medical help at a clinic.
The ideal option would be for parents to begin registering their newborn a week after receiving the birth certificate.
As we can see, the procedure for registering a newborn child in a parent’s apartment is not difficult if you follow the tips described in this article and also follow the law of the Russian Federation.
We warn you once again that it is better not to delay this procedure, since later you will have to explain the reason for your delay and will need to pay a certain amount in order to cover the fine and gain the right to register.
Rules 2020
After receiving the Certificate, the child must be registered. To do this, one of the spouses or both parents, when they are not registered, contact the passport officer.
Registration (registration) of a newborn child can only be done at the place of residence of the parents. The housing of grandparents and other relatives is not suitable for these purposes.
When the baby is registered with the mother, no additional statements are required. If registration is carried out in the father's house, the mother gives a written agreement.
The child must live with his parents or guardians until he is at least 14 years old.
One of the main innovations of 2020 was the ability to register a newborn baby’s registration online. To do this you need to perform a number of actions:
- register on the State Services portal;
- log into the created personal account;
- select the required type of service;
- fill out the form provided. The data to be filled out is indicated in strict accordance with the available documents.
In a few days, you will be invited to the Federal Migration Service to compare the original papers with the form submitted electronically and, if everything is correct, they will issue a registration certificate.
Important! Do not allow registration stamps to be placed directly on the birth certificate. FMS employees are required to issue a special document.
What is the cost
State registration of a child at the place of residence of his parents is carried out without paying a state fee. If paid services are provided to the mother or father of the child and notarization of documents is required, then such services will have to be paid.
As a general rule, for violating the rules of state registration (registration) at the place of residence, citizens are brought to administrative responsibility.
Important! Article 19.15.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses provides for the following sanctions:
- from 5,000 to 7,000 rubles for residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg;
- from 2,000 to 5,000 rubles for residents of other localities.
Conclusion: despite the fact that the registration procedure itself is free, violation of the rules that govern it can result in serious financial losses. Moreover, if such a violation was committed by the child’s parents during his registration, then they will not be held liable.
