Documents for registration of a newborn child

Read on our website about how to register the birth of a child in the registry office, how to register him at the place of residence of the father or mother, whether this can be done at the MFC or through State Services, and what documents are required for registration.

general information

It is mandatory to register a newborn child at the place of registration. This point is enshrined in federal legislation. When a child is born, he almost always receives citizenship in Russia automatically.

He has certain rights. And also, with age, certain responsibilities apply to him. The first of these is the preparation of the necessary documentation.

This responsibility is ensured by the father and mother of the newborn. It is advisable to do this in the first few weeks after a child appears in the family.

Registration is required even when the parameters of the apartment do not allow it. The form of real estate does not matter. The premises can be communal or privatized. The type of real estate also does not matter.

Registration in premises not intended for residence is not possible.

The procedure is carried out in a certain order. Queues for registration can be very long.

Rules

In accordance with legislative acts, it is allowed to register the baby in the living space either by the father or the mother. You cannot register to stay with your grandparents in their apartment.

Basic Rules:

• it is easiest to register a newborn in the first 30 days;
• if a child is registered with his father, then a statement from both parents is required, and from the mother it must be certified by a notary;
• the law provides for a fine if parents do not register the baby for a long time;
• If the registration is temporary, then you can only register with your mother.

There are two ways to register a child – temporarily and permanently. For newborns, option 2 is desirable.

Only parents can register a child.

If registering with the father, then both mother and father must be present. If to the mother, the presence of the father is not necessary. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a house or an apartment, you can register a newborn baby without asking the property owner to do so.

Requirements for the property

The law does not provide for any special nuances regarding where a newborn child can be registered. The main thing is that the room is intended for living:

• private apartment or house;
• municipal housing;
• rented premises and so on.

The meaning is simple: if the parents were able to register at the address, then the baby can be registered there too. Consequently, it will not be possible to obtain legal residence in an office or kindergarten (that is, in non-residential premises).

In addition, the answer to the question of where a newborn child is registered by law if he has no parents (died or deprived of parental rights) depends on the presence of official guardians and trustees. If they exist, the baby is registered with them; if they are not, in government institutions, for example, orphanages, for example.

The laws do not specifically prohibit the registration of young children in mortgaged real estate.

Theoretically, nothing prevents you from registering a child after birth in the apartment for which the loan is issued. However, the banks themselves, as mortgagees of property, can put forward their own conditions. For example, they often instruct the owner:

• notify children about their registration;
• draw up a receipt in which the owner undertakes to write out all family members in the event that the mortgage debt is not repaid.

Determination of place of residence

It is allowed to register a child only at the place of residence of the mother and father. If the parents are not married or have registration at different addresses, then the baby can be registered with one of them. But if both parents agree to this. This rule is regulated by the Civil Code.

If the father or mother is registered in the apartment (house), but is not its owner, then the newborn can be registered without the consent of other residents, including the owner of the property. The law allows for the registration of a child regardless of the parents' ownership rights to this property.

Where to apply?

When registering a child, you must comply with legal regulations. After receiving the birth certificate, you must visit the passport office and submit documentation.

You can register your baby with the following government agencies:

• Multifunctional centers. Documents are handed over at the nearest branch against receipt of receipt. After this, a center employee will call and set a date when you can pick up your registration documents.
• Government services. After registering on the site, enter your data. After checking them (within 3 days), an invitation to register will be sent to the applicant’s email address.

The data must be entered truthfully. If you make a mistake, registration may be denied.

Why is this necessary?

A new family member needs a registration.

Registration required:

• registration of a compulsory medical insurance policy;
• registration of social benefits for a child;
• receiving maternity capital;
• placement of a child in a preschool institution.

The policy is required for services in the clinic. There they are required to present a photocopy of it. It is impossible to enroll a child in kindergarten or school without this paper. Child registration is one of the most important documents when receiving benefits.

What are the nuances?

Sometimes it becomes necessary to register a child without the consent of the owner. This can be done when one of the parents is registered in the residential premises. The Family Code of the Russian Federation speaks about this.

A newborn child can only be registered with his parents

The same applies to situations when it becomes necessary to register a child in a municipal apartment. In this case, only the father or mother may need to register.

You cannot register a new family member with friends and grandparents.

It is prohibited to register a newborn child in a separate property. This applies even to those cases where the baby is the owner of the premises. The Russian Family Code does not provide for the separation of minors from their father and mother.

What are the rules?

Registration for a newborn is issued in accordance with the following rules:

• in order to register a new family member, the father and mother do not need to obtain the consent of the property owners;
• if the baby is registered at the place of registration of the father, then the mother must authorize this in writing;
• if the baby is registered at the mother’s place of residence, then the father, if the marriage is not dissolved, may not give the appropriate permission;

This is important to know: How to register a newborn or child in an apartment

To my father

Both parents need to come to register a newborn child at the father’s place of residence.

The father and mother write a separate application to register the baby. The father needs to fill out an application in Form No. 6, the mother needs to submit a petition for registration of the baby at the place of residence of the spouse.

The list of documents for registering a newborn with the father includes the same papers that are required for registration with the mother.

If the father does not confirm his paternity at the registry office, then it is impossible for him to register the newborn. This is explained by the fact that legally the baby does not have a father.

Peculiarities

Unlike adult citizens of the country, the law does not establish the time frame within which a newborn must be registered. Consequently, FMS employees have no right to impose any fines on parents for late registration.

It is not necessary to obtain the consent of the owner to register a child. The basis for registration of a newborn is solely the Certificate of Registration of the parent (Article 70 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation).

When registering a newborn child, the standards for the size of living space per person registered in municipal housing .

To legal representatives

A newborn child can be registered with guardians or legal representatives. This is relevant when the baby is left without a father and mother.

You can register a newborn child with guardians or legal representatives

You can register a child without the consent of the persons registered in the premises. This is true even when the legal representatives are not the owners of the living space. The main criterion is legal residence.

All disputes regarding the registration of a baby can only be resolved in court.

Register with grandma

From the age of 14, a citizen can independently decide where he will live. He can register with his grandmother or other relatives. Until the age of fourteen he lives with his parents. Therefore, the registration of a child with his grandmother is legal only if his mother (father) lives with him.

One child will be able to register only after 14 years of age. Why do they decide to change their place of registration?

• The need to register for kindergarten or school.
• Temporary absence of parents in the city or country.
• Receiving benefits or subsidies.

An additional requirement is to obtain consent from all co-owners of the living space.

How to register a newborn baby with a grandparent

You can register a newborn with your grandparents, as well as with other close relatives of the child’s parents in the following cases:

• if the parents themselves are deprived of parental rights;
• if they live together with such close relatives.

Moreover, if parents are deprived of parental rights, then in order to register a newborn with close relatives, you need to register their guardianship and obtain their consent to registration. Otherwise, the child becomes a ward of the state. Guardianship is formalized through the local guardianship authority, as well as through the court.

If the parents live in the house of close relatives, then their consent is not required to register the child.

The law establishes that the right of a parent to register their children at their place of residence is indisputable and does not require the consent of the owners of the relevant residential premises.

Is the owner's consent required for the registration of a newborn?

The presence or absence of parents' ownership of the housing in which they live is not a determining factor for registering a child there. So, according to the law, only the official registration of the parents matters.

In this case, registration is carried out without the consent of the owner and other people living in the relevant housing. However, in this case, the owner of the property may, through the court, demand that the parents themselves be evicted, after which their children will also not be able to be registered there.

Things to remember

A person who plans to permanently register a new family member is required to be present at the service unit responsible for migration.

If spouses who are not divorced do not live together, the baby’s mother cannot register him at the father’s place of permanent residence without receiving his consent to do so.

Mothers will refuse to register their child at the father’s place of residence, without his consent

Don't believe those people who say you need to pay for registration. The baby is registered free of charge. There are no additional state duties or taxes.

The Russian will need to pay only if he needs any additional services. There is also an additional charge for the services of a notary office.

If, upon resolving the issue, violations were noticed on the part of the migration service employees, the parents have the right to file a claim in court.

Privatized or municipal

There is no significant difference. The consent of those who own the home is not required.

But in some registration departments, at the request of employees, permission is granted from the owners of privatized housing. To avoid problems, this issue needs to be clarified in advance.

An infant registered in a privatized home may subsequently receive property rights. Transactions with living space may become more complicated due to his registration.

Proposed sanctions

If the deadlines have expired and the baby is still without permanent registration, his parents face penalties.

Failure to register a newborn on time may result in a fine of 1,500 rubles.

The amount of the fine is regulated by Russian legislation. In 2017, the amount of punishment for negligent parents is 1,500–2,500 rubles.

Can they refuse and in what cases?

The legislation does not specify the reasons why registration of a born child may be denied. However, in some cases, new parents may still be denied registration . This may happen in the following cases:

• if there is no (in necessary situations) permission from one of the child’s parents or his legal representative to carry out such a procedure;
• if an incomplete package of documents is provided;
• if the submitted documentation is unreliable;
• if the baby’s parents do not have a registration address;
• if the baby was born into a family of foreigners or refugees.

When you need to make a temporary registration for a newborn, know that this is not prohibited by law. Registration at the place of residence will enable the child to enjoy the same rights as a permanent one. Do not forget to collect the necessary package of documents and contact the appropriate structures.

• Home housing department.
• Territorial division of the service responsible for migration.

It is also possible to resolve this issue through State Services.

Contacting the MFC

Submitting an application through State Services

Many parents and guardians register their child by completing documents through the State Services portal.
To use the functionality of the site, you must register and obtain an electronic signature. Documents for remote application submission should be converted into electronic form and uploaded on the “FMS Services” page.

After processing the application, a notification of invitation to the territory will be sent to the email address specified by the applicant. FMS body for studying registration documents.

The documents must be collected within three days after receiving the notification, otherwise the application will be canceled and the procedure will need to be completed again.

Probability of failure

Sometimes the baby's parents face refusal. It is issued for several reasons. Most often this happens due to a shortage of one or another paper. Another reason is that the documents are folded incorrectly or are presented in an inappropriate manner.

Often, employees of the Federal Migration Service refuse registration when they try to register a new family member in a place where neither his father nor mother is listed.

If the reason for refusal is easily eliminated, the applicant may apply again.

Employees of the registration authority will notify you of the refusal in writing. The reasons are explained in detail. If the applicant does not agree with the argumentation, he has the right to appeal to a higher authority.

Consequences of fictitious temporary registration

It happens that parents of children, wanting to enroll them in a prestigious educational institution, temporarily register them at the address assigned to this educational institution. In reality, neither the minor himself nor his parents even appear at the specified address.

Criminal liability is provided for actions of this kind. According to Federal Law No. 376 of December 21, 2013, the liability of citizens who violate registration rules has been tightened. For fictitious registration, a fine (100-500 thousand rubles) or criminal punishment up to imprisonment for up to 3 years may be imposed.

In such cases, the person who made the fictitious registration (parents of the minor), as well as the person who provided living space for such illegal actions, is subject to punishment. Those who intend to generate income by registering an unlimited number of citizens in their living space must be aware of the responsibility for such actions.
