Form 8: what kind of certificate is this and when might it be needed?

Requirements for registration at the place of residence apply to all Russian citizens, regardless of their age. It is also important for a child to have registration, because without it it will be difficult to get into kindergarten or school, as well as receive free medical care at the place of residence.

In addition, registering a child will allow you to quickly obtain ownership of municipal housing.

We will tell you further about how registration is completed and what documents confirm its existence.

What is a Form 8 certificate and why is it needed?

Since a child under 14 years of age does not have a passport, he is given a document confirming registration at his residence address. This certificate of registration is Form 8.

In addition to it, there is also a certificate in Form 3 about the temporary registration of the child.

The registration certificate is issued only in one copy. A duplicate can be issued only if the original is lost, but, as with the loss of other important documents, you will have to spend a lot of time preparing a copy.

The certificate in Form 8 indicates:

• Full name, date of birth and other personal data of the child.
• Registration address.
• Data of the organization and employee who issued this certificate.
• Documents giving grounds for registration.
• Date of registration.
• Validity period of registration and stamp of the authority that issued the certificate.

When presenting a certificate at certain institutions, you must also present a birth certificate. Without it, the certificate in Form 8 is considered invalid.

After receiving the certificate, the child does not have the right to refuse:

• Visiting a kindergarten or school at your place of residence.
• Registration at a clinic serving the area.
• Receiving benefits and maternity capital.

It is safe to say that this registration certificate is necessary for a normal life in modern Russian society.

What it is

Form number 8 is a certificate confirming that the child has a residence permit. This is the second most important document that parents should take care to obtain, so it should be obtained as quickly as possible. The form and form of the certificate are approved by current legislation, therefore free form should be immediately excluded.

After receipt, the child can claim a share of the housing in which he is registered. The papers will also be sent to GUMV. This will allow the state, as well as guardianship and guardianship authorities, to monitor the condition of the baby and, if necessary, record offenses directed towards him. In addition, the value of the certificate is as follows:

• without a document, the mother will not be able to count on benefits and other payments provided by the state;
• Form 8 about registration allows you to place your child in school and kindergarten;
• If the certificate is missing, the teenager will not be issued a passport upon reaching the age of 14.

Types of registration certificates for a newborn

To confirm the registration of a child, you can use several forms of certificate:

• No. 8 – permanent registration;
• No. 9 – on the registration of each person living at a certain address;
• No. 3 – on a temporary basis.

Form 9 is distinguished by the presence of data on citizens registered at a specific address. Each of these documents is issued to individuals.

Why is it needed, and in what cases is it presented?

Form 8 about the registration of a child may be needed in the following situations:

• the baby and his parents move to another region of the country;
• receiving social benefits;
• during registration, if the parents purchased a new apartment or house;
• receiving medical care at a local clinic;
• upon admission to kindergarten or educational institutions;
• if necessary, obtain a certificate for maternity capital;
• parents during divorce, if there are children.

Eligibility Requirements

Only persons who have confirmation of guardianship, parents or representatives with the appropriate power of attorney can count on receiving Form No. 8. A person must also have documents with him, a list of which can be found below. If parents live separately, they may ask for confirmation of the absence of registration at a different address.

Content

The following information can be found on the certificate:

• personal information about the baby, including his name and date of birth;
• certificates that served as the basis for issuing Form 8;
• information about the department that handled the paperwork. This also includes personal data of the employee who issued the certificate;
• seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or MFC involved in the issuance, as well as those responsible for the validity period of the document;
• child's registered address;
• date of registration.

Certificate No. 8 is valid only if it is supported by other documents about the birth of the baby. The certificate will help you take advantage of several free social services provided by the state for financial or other support.

Filling rules

First, parents should check the entered personal data of the child. Since the contents of the child’s registration certificate are clearly defined by law, before filling out the form, it is better to familiarize yourself with the sample, since a mistake made will become an obstacle when completing the paperwork.

Sample Form 8

Regardless of the authority that will issue the certificate, the sample Form 8 always looks the same, according to the rules established by law:

Required documents

Parents never pay authorities for registration certificates. To begin the registration procedure, you need to collect the following list of documents:

• Passports of representatives, if they have a common residence permit. If only one of the parents is registered, the child can be registered at this address. Before contacting the registration authority, you must make copies of your passports, as they will have to be left at the institution. At the end of the procedure, the representative of the registration authority will return the previously submitted copies and original papers.
• Original and photocopy of the child's birth certificate. The paper must bear a stamp confirming the fact that the child is a citizen of the Russian Federation.
• Marriage certificate.
• Papers confirming the fact that the parents actually own residential property.
• A well-written statement.

Sometimes additional information may be needed, namely:

• If parents are registered in different places, a certificate from one of them to confirm that the child does not have a residence permit. To obtain this paper, you can contact the Federal Migration Service or the EIGRTS.
• Extract from the house register.
• A copy of the financial personal account at the address where the child will receive permanent registration in the future.

How to write an application

To draw up an application for a registration certificate, use a special form. In the upper right corner indicate information about the housing agency, which is assigned to the area where the child will be registered in the future. The word “statement” should be written in the center.

In the wording, you must indicate your full name, registration address, as well as a request for the issuance of a certificate of registration of the baby. Below you should indicate exactly how the parents want to receive the document: by mail or in person. At the end you need to indicate a valid phone number, sign and current date.

Who can apply

According to the law of the Russian Federation, not every Russian citizen can obtain certificate 8 of registration at the child’s place of residence. Guardians of a newborn. This includes adoptive parents, but only after the adoption procedure is completed, and guardians.

Third parties who have a power of attorney with a notary seal from their legal representatives. This is convenient if the baby’s parents are in another city or country.

Note! The person who has the power of attorney has the right to receive the same services as the parents, but only if this is provided for in the document. Therefore, in the process of drawing up a power of attorney with a notary, the powers of the third party should be clearly defined.

Terms and price

In most cases, the certificate is issued on the day of application. The registration procedure may only take longer in case of long queues or unforeseen circumstances. Parents will not have to pay government fees or make other contributions, regardless of the authority issuing the certificate.

Where to get it

Parents have the right to contact any authorities involved in issuing registration certificates, depending on the convenience of the location. The list of papers that will be required to begin the registration procedure will always be the same. The following authorities issue Form 8:

• MFC;
• a passport office assigned to the place of future registration of the baby;
• Housing office at the place of residence of the parents;
• managing organization if it has its own passport office.

In order to receive Form 8 as quickly as possible, it is recommended to follow the following algorithm of actions:

• obtaining a birth certificate for the baby. To do this, you should contact the registry office on the same day when the corresponding application was submitted;
• then it is necessary to register the baby, registering both or one of the parents at the place of residence;
• submitting an application to the passport office or other institution indicated above;
• After checking the papers, a representative of the MFC or other authority will send them for processing and after a while return them along with a certificate.

MFC

One of the most common ways to obtain a Form 8 certificate is to contact the MFC. The timing of issuance depends on how accurately parents follow the algorithm of actions. Before contacting the nearest representative office, parents can contact the hotline operator at the center and find out all the information they are interested in.

Who is eligible to receive?

The following are entitled to obtain a registration certificate in Form 8:

• Parents or guardians of the child, provided that they are registered at this address or have grounds for registering other people at this address (are home owners).
• A legal representative who has a warrant to move into public housing.
• A parent who registers with the child, subject to permission from the apartment owner.

In any case, it is important to document the right to live in the apartment where the child will be registered and the consent of the owner of the property.

Why is this certificate needed?

Registration at a specific residence address is the responsibility of every citizen, including young children. The only difference is that not a passport is issued for children, but a separate document.

This document gives parents the right to obtain the following services:

• free medical care based on the compulsory medical insurance policy issued for the child;
• put the child on a waiting list for a preschool educational institution, kindergarten, nursery, school;
• apply for social payments and child benefits;
• enroll in sports and other schools.

Where can I get a certificate of registration at the child’s place of residence?

There are several authorities you can contact to obtain a child registration certificate:

• Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
• Passport Office.
• Management Company.
• MFC.

The registration procedure is approximately the same in all institutions, but the fastest way is to apply to the MFC.

MFC

This center is authorized to accept documents and issue registration certificates in Form 8. An employee of the institution should spend no more than 15 minutes on receiving and checking documents. You can sign up for filing in advance by phone or online, which allows you to avoid wasting time in queues.

After accepting the documents, the applicant receives a special coupon, using the number of which you can track the registration process on the MFC website.

Is it possible to obtain a certificate online?

The State Services portal allows you to sign up for a specific date and time to visit the MFC and submit a registration application and all the necessary documents. It will not be possible to complete the entire procedure online, since the law requires the personal presence of the applicant to submit original documents.

Where to apply to receive it?

To obtain a registration certificate, you should contact the same authorities as for regular registration. Today, the functions of creating and maintaining a registration database are assigned to the relevant bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and passport offices. By contacting the registration authority directly, the issue can be resolved quickly and in a short time. But this is not the only option that allows you to receive a completed form. The department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be contacted through other authorities that take on the official functions of intermediaries. They are:

1. Passport officers of management companies or homeowners' associations.
2. Multifunctional centers (MFC).
3. State Services website.

Each of the proposed options is only an intermediary link, and therefore obtaining the final result will thus slightly exceed the minimum established design limits. However, each of these methods allows you to save time on submitting documents and applications without standing in line.

Registration authority

The issuance of passports and their replacement, as well as affixing registration marks and issuing registration certificates, all this is the prerogative of the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Previously, this type of activity was carried out by a special service of the Federal Migration Service, but it was abolished and the same actions are carried out by the registration authorities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you want to quickly fill out the form, it is better to contact these authorities directly, and you should choose a branch based on the territorial principle of the registration address.

A certificate that the child has been permanently registered at the place of residence is issued within three days. When contacting the registration authority, a citizen has the right to expect compliance with the specified period. In other cases, the deadlines will be extended.

To obtain an F8 form at the territorial center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you should go through a simple procedure:

1. Collect the necessary package of documents.
2. To write an application.
3. Submit the entire package of papers to the passport officer for processing.

On the appointed day, all that remains is to pick up the completed form and the originals of the submitted documents.

Multifunctional Center

MFCs are very popular among the population. There are two main reasons for this:

1. The opening hours of multifunctional centers are much more convenient than those of registration authorities. MFCs are open until 7-8 pm and also provide services on Saturdays.
2. At the centers you can order various certificates and receive multi-directional services.

The only disadvantage of the MFC is a slight delay in the provision of services, in comparison with registration authorities. This is due to the fact that the form itself is prepared by employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is only transmitted through the MFC.

To obtain a registration certificate through the multifunctional center, you must:

1. Collect a standard list of documents and fill out an application for a form.
2. Hand over the entire package of papers to the specialist and receive a receipt from him confirming their acceptance.
3. Pick up the completed form and submitted documents within the specified period.

Please note that you can make an appointment at the MFC in advance by calling the hotline or, by coming to the center, join the electronic queue and receive a numbered coupon at the terminal. Subsequently, you can track the readiness of Form 8 using the number indicated in the receipt.

Required documents

The registration procedure is possible only if you have a number of documents:

• Applicant's passports. In cases where the father is unknown or his name is not documented, then the mother’s passport is sufficient. The same rule applies to newborn children, who must be registered within 30 days from the date of their birth.
• Marriage or divorce certificate.
• Title documents for real estate.
• Notarized power of attorney, if registration is carried out by an authorized person.

In addition to these documents, the registration authority may require the written consent of the second parent, a certificate of the status of the personal account and an extract from the house register. But these papers are needed only in certain cases. Usually, to obtain a certificate in Form 8, a standard package of documents is enough.

Form No. 8

Form 8 is drawn up and issued during the procedure for registering a child with the migration service. The form is unified and established by law, being essentially an identification document for a minor, supplementing the birth certificate.

The document is issued in person and is a single copy; if the latter is lost, it is restored upon application, and a duplicate is issued in return.

This document reflects the following information:

• date of birth and name of the minor citizen;
• address data according to place of registration;
• the document on the basis of which form No. 8 was issued;
• the name of the body that prepared and issued this document;
• details of the employee who issued the document and his signature;
• seal of the territorial department of the Federal Migration Service.

Form No. 8 is issued on the basis of an application submitted by the parents of a young child.

ATTENTION! Look at the completed sample certificate No. 8:

Validity and cost

The period for consideration of the application and execution of the document varies depending on the authority to which the child’s parent applies.

When applying directly to the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 3 days are allotted for registration. When submitting documents through the passport office or MFC – 7 days, since they transfer the documents to the registration authority.

Sometimes it is necessary to send a request to another region or additionally check the submitted documents. In this case, the registration period may be extended.

When submitting original documents (and this is mandatory), the applicant is given a receipt of their receipt.

There is no state fee for such a child registration procedure.

Where and how can I get it

The document itself is issued exclusively by the Federal Migration Service, but an application for its issuance can be submitted through various services.

Multifunctional centers (MFC). The application is submitted during a personal visit to the MFC. It is noted that submitting a document through this body reduces the time it takes to receive it. In addition, there is no need to collect an extended package of documents, since the specialist will find them from a common database.

Nuances of registering a newborn

The legislation of the Russian Federation does not establish strict deadlines during which a newborn must be registered. There is only an indication that during the first 30 days of his life, the mother can register the child without the consent of the father.

At the same time, if the mother, for good reason, cannot register, the father can do this at the address where he and his mother live together or in her apartment.

After the 30-day period, a child can be registered only with the consent of both parents or guardians.

Another feature is that to register a child, it is not necessary to take into account the living space standards per person in a specific apartment.

Types of child registration certificates

The institution of registration in our country has lost its relevance for several years now, but it is still impossible to say that it does not matter at all. The latter is due to the fact that without registration it is not possible to obtain a number of documents; difficulties may arise during employment, execution of certain transactions, as well as when registering vehicles. Thus, de facto registration remains a necessary and mandatory procedure.

Attention! Thus, today the following standardized forms have been established to confirm the fact of the child’s registration:

• form number 3 – form of certificate of registration of the child at the place of his stay;
• Form 8 – version of the certificate of registration of the child at the place of residence;
• Form 9 - a document containing information about everyone who is registered in a particular residential premises.

Can registration be refused?

Registration of a child is rarely denied, because the law has simplified this procedure as much as possible for minors. There is no need to obtain permission from other residents or even the owner of the apartment if one of the child’s parents is registered in it.

But still there are refusals. Their reasons may be:

• Registration in emergency and dilapidated housing.
• The parent does not agree to registration.
• The property has been seized.
• There are no documents from the mandatory list.
• Absence of a power of attorney if registration is carried out by an authorized person.

If you disagree with the refusal to issue a certificate of registration of the child at the place of residence, you need to obtain a written version of it to contact higher authorities.

Institutions where it can be submitted

The certificate is issued with the purpose of being presented, if necessary, to the appropriate authorities. A sample form is attached to the article. It allows you to determine the territorial affiliation of a person, in this case a child, which is extremely important when registering children in educational institutions.

Form 8 will be needed for:

1. Placing your child on the waiting list for kindergarten.
2. Registration of the child in the preschool group after the turn comes.
3. Submit documents to school.

Admission to educational institutions theoretically has no restrictions on any principle. But in practice, when compiling lists, first of all, those children who are registered on the territory of this educational institution are enrolled. Children who do not have permanent or at least temporary registration in a given area belong to the second stage and can be enrolled in a group or class only if there are free places.

In addition to educational institutions, the certificate makes it possible to receive child benefits and enjoy other government benefits.

Where can I get it?

Previously, before the changes were introduced, all extracts were ordered from passport officers at the place of registration or temporary residence.
