Certificate of a large family: how to get it

The procedure for obtaining the status of a large family

Issuing a certificate of large families is the responsibility of local social welfare units.
Therefore, interested parties should contact them there. To receive benefits, initiative from one parent is enough; mother and father do not need to come together. There are several ways to submit an application. Namely:

personal application to the institution (carried out without a prior appointment, so you need to be prepared for queues; on the other hand, an employee checks the list of submitted papers on the spot and helps correct errors);
MFC (multifunctional centers also process documents, sending them to social protection authorities, but this function is available only in the capital and St. Petersburg);
remotely through the Gosuslugi portal (the disadvantage of this option is the need to undergo lengthy registration in the system, as well as the preparation of scanned versions of the collected package of documents).

Another available option is to engage a representative who can only act within the framework of a notarized power of attorney.

Benefits and payments for large families

Many families do not always have information about what this status gives them, and what they can claim after receiving it. The legislation provides for some assistance at the state and local level.

Payments

The basic legislation of the country establishes the following payments:

mothers 16,350.33 rubles for the birth of a baby.
When registering for child care, if this payment is not transferred by the employer, then its amount is 3065.69 rubles for the first child and 6131.67 for subsequent children.
At the birth of two children - 453,026 rubles in the form of maternity capital.
The Order of Parental Glory is awarded to a mother of many children when she gives birth to 6 children and raises each child up to 8 years of age. With this award they pay 100 thousand rubles.
Also, the President of Russia issued a decree with a specific list of entities that are obliged to pay benefits in accordance with the average standard of living in these regions. This year, large families in Moscow should receive:

if they have proven that they are low-income, for each child they have the right to receive an additional monthly allowance for children from one and a half to 3 years old - 2500 rubles, over 3 years until adulthood - 1500 rubles;
compensation for rising food prices for each child 675 rubles;

reimbursement of the cost of utilities 522 rubles per month for the whole family;
use of a landline phone per month 230 rubles per family;
for the purchase of a school uniform, 5,000 rubles one-time for each primary school student.

In other regions, other benefits may be established at the discretion of regional authorities. These amounts are valid in 2017.

Privileges

At the federal level, certain benefits for families are also established, and they must be respected by the regions:

free and emergency medical care;
free prescriptions for children under 6 years of age;
free vitamins;
free travel on public transport for students;
provision of a sanatorium once a year;
partial compensation for utilities;
tax benefits for property, personal income, transport;
the right to receive ownership of a land plot from 6 to 15 acres.

With the help of all established measures, the state encourages the birth of three or more children, thereby increasing the demography of the country.

The Family Code of Russia assigns to each parent the responsibility for raising and financially supporting children, regardless of the fact of cohabitation. The concept of education includes emotional development, spending time together, providing household items, satisfying essential needs and creating conditions for out-of-school development. Taking into account the pricing policy, as well as the needs of each child, the Government of the Russian Federation has designated large families as a separate category of citizens requiring additional social assistance.

Benefits in the field of taxation and mortgage lending

Large families will be provided with 450 thousand rubles. to repay the mortgage, provided that the third and subsequent children are born between the beginning of 2021 and the end of 2022. The compensation is a one-time payment and can be used to repay one mortgage loan1.
Borrowers who took advantage of the right to “mortgage holidays” and large families who received 450 thousand rubles. to repay the mortgage, you do not need to pay personal income tax. Material benefits received when the borrower exercises the right to a “mortgage holiday”2 are exempt from this tax.

“Mortgage holidays” are one of the types of deferment of loan payments for the purchase of real estate. The benefit may be provided if the monthly loan payment exceeds 50% of income. “Vacations” can be provided to citizens who find themselves in difficult life situations for a period of no more than 6 months. During this period, at the choice of the borrower, the fulfillment of obligations may be suspended or the amount of payments on the mortgage loan may be reduced. That is, there are several types of “vacations”:

complete exemption from making payments;
payment of interest on the loan;
partial repayment of the loan, with interest paid;
increasing the loan period and correspondingly reducing the monthly payment.

Banks have provided “vacations” before, but for a maximum of 90 days, and this happened only if there was goodwill from the financial institution. Now “mortgage holidays” from Sberbank will be granted if:

the borrower is a disabled person of group I or II;
has been registered with the employment center as unemployed for more than 2 months;
is on sick leave for more than 60 days in a row;
family income has decreased by more than 30% over the past 2 months;
The average per capita family income decreased by 20% or more due to the increase in the number of dependents.

Benefits and discounts are provided only once during the validity period of the loan agreement.

Tax benefits for citizens with many children also include the following: exemption from income tax on state payments for child support, receipt of a personal income tax deduction for the third and subsequent children in the amount of 3 thousand rubles, benefits for the payment of transport and land taxes in accordance with regional legislation.

Such a measure will eliminate possible time wastage and problems associated with the incompetence of government employees.
Next, the received documents are reviewed by government agencies within 30 days.

If there are no shortcomings in the submitted documentation (all papers have been provided and their quality is at the proper level), then the family or a specific parent receives a notification that he can pick up the certificate of “large families” from the relevant government agency.

Social protection authorities will tell you what documents are needed to register a large family.

There is no need to be afraid of these measures, especially if the truth is on your side. In most cases, justice is restored by authorized persons in a fairly short time and the procedure for obtaining a certificate for a large family is successfully completed.

As you can see, the issue of registering a large family in the Russian Federation is not as difficult to consider as it might seem at first glance. Legitimizing your status is very simple, because it is enough to collect the agreed list of documents and submit them to the required government agency. We hope today’s article was useful to you and provided answers to your questions. Good luck in realizing your rights!

Today, families with many children are those raising three or more children. At the same time, all children must be minors. The status of a large family is confirmed by a special certificate. To obtain this certificate, the family must contact their local social services office.

There are three ways to apply for a certificate confirming having many children.

Parents' appeal to social protection authorities. The name of this organization may vary (depending on the region). You can contact the institution in person or through an authorized representative. If the children's parents do not live together, then the certificate is issued to the parent with whom the children permanently live.

The following method of submitting for registration is not possible in all regions. This is transmission via e-mail or portal of state and municipal services.

Property tax relief

Property tax is calculated based on cadastral value; for all, the tax base is determined as follows:

for apartments and parts of a residential building - (cadastral value minus cadastral value of 20 sq. m) × 0.1%;
for rooms - (cadastral room minus cadastral value of 10 sq. m) × 0.1%;
for houses - (cadastral house minus cadastral value of 50 sq. m) × 0.1%.

And for large families there is a benefit: for one of the properties, the family can reduce the cadastral value by 5 square meters. m for each child for an apartment and 7 sq. m for home.

For example, if a family with three children lives in an apartment of 76 square meters. m, first 20 square meters are subtracted from the area. m, then 15 sq. m - five for each child, it turns out that the family will pay tax on 46 square meters. m.

If the cadastral value of an apartment is 4,000,000 rubles, and the cadastral value is 1 sq. m - 52,631 rubles, the calculation will be as follows.

Tax on an apartment 76 sq.m. without benefits	With benefit
((76 – 20) × 52,631) × 0.1% = 2948 rubles	((76 – 20-15) × 52,631) × 0.1% = 2158 rubles

Conditions. The deduction for large families has been valid since 2021 throughout Russia. The tax office takes it into account automatically for real estate with a larger area.

How to get a benefit. If the tax is calculated without deduction, you need to submit an application to the tax office in person or through the website. In the application, you can indicate which object the benefit applies to.

A few words about the benefits of large families

Large families - those with more than 2 children

Turning to the legislation of the Russian Federation, it is worth noting that in our country any family that includes 3 or more children under the age of 18 is recognized as having many children.

At the same time, it does not matter at all whether natural children are raised in the family or adopted

In any case, such a unit of society will be considered to have many children. Moreover, the status of having many children is retained for any family whose child, aged 18 to 23, is studying full-time at a university or institute.

USEFUL INFORMATION: Everything about marriage: registered, civil, fictitious - legal consequences

The status of a large family is not just a formality that its members can obtain. This situation in society allows family men to receive a whole list of benefits, among which it is worth highlighting the following opportunities:

Reduce utility costs by up to 30% of the base amount.
Receive medications prescribed by a doctor free of charge for a child under 6 years of age.
Get discounted travel on public transport.
Expect accelerated entry into kindergarten for toddlers.
It is legal for children to receive free meals in educational institutions.
Visiting cultural places listed on the city’s balance sheet is completely free, if entry to them requires payment of some fee.
Partially reduce the land tax.
Apply for an interest-free loan to develop your personal farm.
Register as an individual entrepreneur for free.
Receive benefits for building a house.
Privatize land in an accelerated manner.
Find a job quickly through the labor exchange.

Also, a large family can:

Get land for development for free.
Apply for financial assistance if there is a child under 3 years old in the family.
Completely exempt from paying transport tax.

In addition to the above privileges, a specific region of the Russian Federation may additionally establish benefits for large families living on its territory. In order to clarify the availability of such at their place of residence, a citizen only needs to contact the social protection authorities with a corresponding request. We assure you that the necessary information will be provided to all citizens of the Russian Federation without exception.

Required documents

The certificate is issued by the local government on the basis of the following documents:

passport for parents (including adoptive parents). If the parents are divorced, the certificate can only be obtained by the person with whom the children live directly;
birth certificates, for children over 14 years old - passport;
documents confirming the fact of full-time education of children over 18 years of age;
marriage certificate, divorce certificate and other similar documents;
documents containing information about family composition (extracts from the house register).

These documents are attached to the application, which indicates the requirement for recognition of a large family and the issuance of a specific certificate.

Government bodies do not have the right to request a package of documents not required by law. In addition, they are not required to provide parents with those documents that social security institutions can obtain on their own, for example, an extract from the regional chamber and the like.

Which family is recognized as having many children?

There is no uniform definition of a large family in the legislation. The authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation independently grant this status to parents raising three or more children, taking into account not only their own children, but also their adopted ones.

It should be said that in different regions of the Russian Federation, government officials have taken an ambivalent approach to the definition of a large family. Thus, most of them consider parents raising three or more children to have many children, but, for example, in the Republic of Ingushetia, citizens applying for benefits must have at least 5 offspring.

In addition, not in all regions children must be minors in order for a family to be recognized as having many children. Let’s say that in the Moscow region and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, parents with many children can be considered as such if their children have not reached 23 years of age and are studying at universities.

Status validity period

As mentioned above, the status of a large family is assigned only if the parents have three children (or more) under 16 years of age. Due to this rule, conflict situations and disputes often arise.

Table “Possible controversial issues”

Nuances	Correct solution
Divorce	The dissolution of a marital relationship is not in itself a reason for revocation of the assigned status. But after the court establishes custody of the children, a decision will be made regarding the issuance of a new certificate - a mother with many children or a father. If custody was divided and each parent has less than three dependent children, then no one will receive preferential status.
Change of registration	Taking into account the regional peculiarities of registration of benefits, deregistration in the region deprives the family of the right to benefits in this region. When moving and registering to the territory of another subject of the federation, you will need to apply to the municipality for a new certificate. Also, if a family lives together, but the children are registered in different regions, benefits will be available only in the region where three or more children are registered as apartments.
Guardianship	Minors for whom guardianship or guardianship has been established are not taken into account when determining the status of having many children.
Start of boarding school	Since, when receiving education in an institution of this type, students are provided with maximum support from the state, they will not be considered when the question of a preferential title is raised.

Vacation not as scheduled

At work, vacations for all employees two weeks before the new year are recorded in the vacation schedule. You need to go on vacation exactly on schedule, and not when you want. But parents with many children have an advantage: they have the right to go on vacation whenever they want. If you signed up for May at the beginning of the year, and then changed your mind and decided to take a vacation in July, you have the right.

Conditions. Valid throughout Russia. To take a vacation outside of your schedule, you need to meet two criteria:

there are three or more children in the family;
at least three children are under 12 years old.

How to get a benefit. Write a statement at work: “I ask for annual paid leave from such and such to such and such a date.”

Grounds: 360-FZ dated 10/11/2018

How to get a certificate for a large family, what it gives and where to get it

Transfer of a child (children) into guardianship (trusteeship) or placement on full state support, if the family in these cases becomes less than three children, regardless of their age.

The public service is suspended for the duration of the circumstances specified in paragraphs 1-3 of the grounds for suspension of the provision of the service.

There are three ways to prepare documents to obtain a certificate confirming having many children.

In case of applying for a certificate of a family with temporary registration, additionally, certificates are submitted about the children’s attendance at an educational organization and (or) clinic (in case the children do not attend a preschool educational organization) in the Sverdlovsk region.

You can also fill out an application using government service portals or MFC. The applicant decides which method to submit an application - the difference is only in the timing of consideration of documents. As a rule, the MFC copes with this task faster.

Order of “Parental Glory” and 100,000 rubles

The order is not a benefit for everyone, but a reward for which families with seven or more children can compete. The order comes with a monetary reward of 100,000 rubles.

To compete for the order, you need to be a socially responsible family: be married, lead a healthy lifestyle, take care of the spiritual and moral development of children - this is written in the section about the order on the State Services.

About the Order of “Parental Glory” - on State Services

At the same time, you cannot apply for the order yourself: the award is submitted at the request of local governments, and the winners are approved by the president.
