The birth of a child is one of the most memorable events that occurs in the life of every person. New parents get used to the role and learn to take care of their baby. In addition to the pleasant moments, there are a lot of troubles and worries. One of these is the registration of a newborn. Based on this, a birth certificate will be issued.

This is the main document that verifies the identity of a particular child. It also shows Russian citizenship. Based on it, in the future you can obtain an internal and international passport, a military ID, etc. It is issued by the territorial registry office. Is there a state fee to pay for a child’s birth certificate?

Why do you have to pay to register a marriage?

According to current laws, young people who want to seal their relationship in marriage are required to pay a state fee that covers some of the expenses of the registry office.

Paid services for state duty:

preparation of documents for marriage registration;
registration of a marriage certificate;
carrying out the registration procedure.

Cost of state duty

Currently, the state fee for marriage is 350 rubles.

If one of the future spouses belongs to the category of beneficiaries, he can pay the state fee using the benefit, which will total 175 rubles.

Definition and Features

A birth certificate is an official document that parents receive for a child within a month after the birthday. There is no penalty for exceeding this period.

The document is a government-issued form measuring 181×252 mm with watermarks and other ways to ensure the document is protected from forgery. Information is entered by hand or printed on a printer.

The issuance of a birth certificate is regulated by Law No. 143-FZ of November 15, 1997 “On Acts of Civil Status” (Chapter II). Article 23 of this law lists the information that is entered into the certificate form:

There is no penalty for exceeding the deadline for obtaining a certificate; the state hopes for parents’ awareness

surname, name, patronymic of the child;
place and date of his birth;
surnames, first names and patronymics of parents, their citizenship;
date of compilation and record number of the birth certificate;
place of state registration of birth;
date and place of issue of the birth certificate;
At the request of the parents, their nationality can be entered on the birth certificate.

If the child’s parents are in a registered marriage, the presence of one parent is sufficient when submitting documents. If the child’s parents are in an unregistered marriage or do not live together, both parents must be present when submitting the application, since the man must officially confirm his paternity.

Procedure for paying state fees for marriage

The state fee for registering a marriage is paid by the couple jointly, that is, to register a family union, there is no need to make a payment of 350 rubles to each party - the bride and groom. Any representative of the couple can pay the fee.

The application submitted to the registry office is accompanied by one receipt for payment of the state fee.

How to fill out a receipt

At the Civil Registry Office you can obtain a form with details for paying the state fee. This document must be filled out correctly.

What is indicated on the receipt:

Account details (if they are not indicated on the form).
Name of the payee.
Full name and passport details of the payment sender.
Residence address.
Payer's TIN.
Payment amount (in numbers).
Signature, date.

How much is the state fee for a child’s birth certificate?

The question of how much it costs to obtain a birth certificate becomes relevant under various circumstances. In some cases, the document may be lost. Various changes may also be made to it.

The cost of resolving such problems may depend on the nature of the circumstances in which the need for a new certificate arose. Below you can find out more about when and how tax may be charged for issuing the relevant certificate.

For restoration or replacement of a document

Every person knows that valuable and important documents should be stored with extreme caution and care. Our life is full of various surprises, both pleasant and not so pleasant. For example, the apartment could be flooded by neighbors from above.

In some cases, money and documents were stolen from the house. There are other unpleasant incidents in which important papers can be lost, spoiled, or damaged. Finally, some documents can also be accidentally lost.

To obtain a new document, as in the case of the initial receipt of this paper, you must contact the registry office . We are talking about the government institution that is located at the place of residence. In this case, it is necessary to draw up a corresponding application.

It must indicate that due to certain circumstances there has been a need to obtain a new document. Here, the registry office employees will have to inform you that everyone will have to pay the state fee for the restoration of the certificate. It should be noted that the paperwork itself will take no more than thirty minutes.

But the consideration of the corresponding application, if the document is issued by another government agency, can take up to sixty days. A copy of the birth certificate, which a person will receive in person if the original paper is lost, has the same legal force as the original.

When applying for a new document, you must have a receipt for payment of the fee with you. In 2021, the duty in the Russian Federation is 200 rubles.

At the moment, many pressing problems related to obtaining documents can be solved by using the State Services website. The procedure for creating a personal account on this resource will require some time and effort.

However, after completing the registration procedure, all existing problems can be solved very quickly, without leaving your own home or apartment. Thanks to this site, you can make an appointment at the registry office of your region of residence.

As for replacing a document, this is only possible in the following cases:

unsuitability of birth certificate. If it was intentionally damaged by someone or simply became dilapidated, then the paper can be laminated. You should not cover it with a protective film, as this will render the document unusable. It is likely that after this you will have to contact the civil registry office and pay the mandatory state fee to replace the birth certificate of a minor child;
change of surname, name and even patronymic, including due to adoption;
identifying errors and inconsistencies in the document.

Since a person cannot predict everything, current legislation also provides for other circumstances that provoke the need to replace a birth certificate.

The cost of replacing a document is 200 rubles. State duty in this amount will need to be transferred to the account of government agencies.

Amount of fee in case of establishing paternity

Many couples live in civil marriages. It often happens that they have an unplanned child. Therefore, persons who are not officially married must contact the registry office to establish paternity.

This is documented in a separate civil registration. You need to prepare for the fact that you will have to pay not only the state fee for the birth certificate, but also the tax for establishing paternity. The amount of this fee is 350 rubles.

Please note that paternity registration is carried out on the following grounds:

the mother and father of the newborn child together applied to the registry office to submit the appropriate application;
the application was drawn up only by the father for the reason that the mother died during childbirth or within one month after the birth of the baby and before applying to the registry office;
the document, drawn up in writing, is submitted to the registry office by the child himself, who has not yet turned eighteen years old. In this case, a court order may be required to establish paternity;
The application is submitted by the parents or guardians of the newborn.

Family law expert since 2010

If paternity was established before the first birth certificate was issued, the document is provided completely free of charge. But if at the same time the existing document had to be changed, then the amount of the state duty will be exactly 200 rubles.

What is included in the package of documents

The list of documents that need to be submitted varies slightly depending on the situation:

It is very easy to obtain a certificate from the maternity hospital, since it is a medical certificate of the birth of a child.
For married parents:
- birth certificate issued at the maternity hospital;
marriage registration certificate.
For parents in an unregistered marriage:
passports of both parents;
document on paternity (for this you will need to go through an act of establishing paternity; if the man agrees, this document will be issued directly to the registry office).
For a single mother:
mother's passport.
In cases where the birth did not take place in a medical institution, a person who was present at the birth must come to the registry office together with the parents to confirm the fact of birth. In this case, his oral statement in the presence of a registry office employee will be sufficient.
In the case of confirmed surrogacy, the woman carrying the child must officially agree to have the data of the actual parents included in the birth certificate. In addition, it is advisable to provide an extract from the medical institution that performed IVF and a copy of their license to perform this procedure.

A deceased or former spouse can be recognized as the father of a child if the death or divorce occurred no earlier than 300 days after the birth of the child, the former/deceased spouse is automatically recognized as the father. In the event of the father's death, his data is transferred from the death certificate provided by the child's mother.

Russians living abroad can also obtain a Russian birth certificate. To do this, you should contact the official representative office of the Russian Federation in your country of residence with a ready-made package of documents.

As a rule, obtaining a birth certificate for young parents is not difficult.

The issued receipt is filled out by one of the future spouses, who must fill in the following information:

account details, if they are not indicated by the registry office;
full name of the payee;

payment amount in words.

How does the procedure for issuing a child’s first document proceed?

Today, young parents do not have to bother for long to get a child’s certificate. According to the law, this must be done within a month from the date of birth of the child. Moreover, you shouldn’t worry too much, even if the deadline is missed: in fact, no punishment is provided for this.

To receive the document, first of all, mom and dad will have to decide whose last name the baby will bear. If the marriage is registered, then only one parent can come to the registry office. But common-law spouses will have to visit the department together.

An interesting nuance: if the birth of a child occurred within 300 days after the divorce or death of one of the parents, then the data on the child’s certificate is entered as follows. The document takes information from the divorce or death certificate, depending on the situation.

The law today has also simplified to the maximum the procedure for obtaining a duplicate if the certificate is lost. It differs in nuances, and also in that you have to pay for re-issuing the document.
