The law distinguishes two types of registration: permanent and temporary. It has its own characteristics in the situation when the necessary actions are performed in relation to the child. Let's look at some of the nuances of this procedure.

Law on registration of minor children

Statement.
Consent of one parent (if registration takes place at the place of residence of the other).
Consent of both parents if the child undergoes the registration procedure at a location other than their place of residence.
Passport of the parent and child (if he has already received one).
Information about housing and the consent of its owner in necessary situations.

Answering the question: how to find out the date of registration at the child’s place of residence, it is worth saying that this action can be carried out either by personally contacting the competent organizations or via the Internet. When issuing a foreign passport and other documents, this date is often required.

State registration and the right of a newborn citizen

In accordance with the Federal Law “On the right of citizens of the Russian Federation to freedom of movement, choice of place of stay and place of residence on the territory of the Russian Federation,” every citizen of the country must be registered. However, the lack of registration is not a reason for refusing to provide social assistance to a child.

In reality, everything is different. A certificate of registration of a minor will be required at the clinic, at the kindergarten, and at the Pension Fund to receive SNILS. In accordance with the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, living without registration is punishable by law. For such an offense a fine of up to 2,500 rubles is provided.

Home Book

In accordance with the law of August 15, 1996 No. 114-FZ “On the procedure for leaving the Russian Federation and entering the Russian Federation,” as soon as it is born, a child becomes a Russian citizen if: – his father and mother or only parent are Russians (the child’s country of birth in this case does not play a role); – father or mother is Russian, and the other parent has no citizenship at all or is unknown; – one parent is Russian, the other is a foreigner (the child’s country of birth must be Russia); – father and mother or the only parent are foreigners or they do not have any citizenship, but live in Russia (the child was born in Russia, and the country whose citizenship the parents have does not grant him its citizenship for some reason); – the baby is abandoned (abandoned) – he becomes a Russian citizen six months later after he was found, unless, of course, the real dad and mom are found.

Who has the right to register a child

In accordance with Article 61 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation, both parents have equal rights and responsibilities in relation to the child. Parents can register a child together or separately.

It is worth noting that a minor can only be registered at the place of registration of the mother or father. In accordance with the Family Code and Order of the Federal Migration Service No. 208, a child must live with his parents until he reaches 14 years of age or with one of the parents. It can be registered in the living space where the parents are registered or live, without the consent of the owner and third parties.

If the parents live separately, then they determine his place of residence by mutual agreement.
If a child is registered with his mother, then the presence of the father is not necessary. The mother can go to the passport office alone and submit an application.
If the father’s place of residence is chosen, then there is only one option to register the child at the father’s place of registration. The mother must give written consent to this procedure; it must be certified by a notary or the housing office.
The law provides for the registration of a child in living space that does not comply with legal standards.
It is possible to obtain temporary registration at the mother's (father's) living space.

Registration of a newborn is a legal issue that implies certain norms prescribed in the articles of the Civil, Housing, and Family Codes.

How to register a child through the MFC, government services, etc.

You can find out the rules for completing the registration procedure at the migration authority. It is necessary to prepare and collect the necessary documentation, including for the new place of residence, and also submit them to the competent government agency.

You can contact the following authorities:

Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation;
public services;
MFC.

Each of the above methods of submitting documents has its own characteristics, which will be discussed below.

MFC

The multifunctional center is designed to simplify the procedure for citizens to receive state and municipal services.

Public services

This is an electronic portal with which you can carry out legally significant actions without leaving your home.

Here is a link to detailed instructions. ⇐

other methods

The traditional way to carry out permanent or temporary registration is to visit the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. Divisions of this body operate throughout the Russian Federation. You can submit an application and documents by visiting this government agency in person.

What is important to know

The legislation of the Russian Federation does not regulate the issue of the maximum period for registration of a newborn child. Accordingly, no fines are provided in this situation.

To register a child, you can get by with the presence of one parent. For example, the baby’s mother can entrust this procedure to the father.
An exception to the rule is for parents who have not registered their marriage, when the child is registered with the father. In this case, two parents are present when registering.
If the parents are registered at more than one address and intend to register the child with the father, then a notarized consent is required from the mother.
If a child is registered with a mother in the same situation, the father’s consent is not required.
Registration of a child will not require permission from other homeowners, even when his parents are not the owners. This applies only to the first registration. In the future, when re-registering a child, the consent of the owner of the property will be required.

The child must be registered even if there is a shortage of square meters according to residential premises standards. The state protects a newborn from the prospect of becoming a person without registration.

Algorithm for married parents

Registering a baby is simple and does not require a large number of documents. If you prepare all the necessary papers, you can complete everything in one day.

Let's go to the registry office

At the first stage, it is necessary to obtain a child’s birth certificate from the district registry office, which can be issued by one of the parents. Documents provided: Russian passport, marriage certificate, certificate from the maternity hospital indicating the date, time and place of birth, as well as the weight and gender of the child. If within a month the parents have not chosen a name or issued a birth certificate for the baby, they may be issued a warning.

Now to the passport office or housing department

With the received birth certificate, you must contact the passport office of the housing department (HOA) to register the child.

It must be taken into account: if registration is issued within a month after birth, then the presence of one mother with the application is necessary. After this period, you may need a certificate from the father’s place of residence about the registered residents, which indicates that the child is not registered with him. This option is for the case if the child’s father is registered at a different address.

At the passport office, the parent where the child is registered must fill out an application form for the child’s registration (form No. 6). The forms are issued by the passport office staff. A sample of how to fill it out can be found on the information board.

The following documents must be submitted along with the application:

Birth certificate.
Passports of both parents.
Marriage certificate.
If a newborn is registered in an apartment, an extract from the house register about all those registered will be required. You can take it there. If a child is registered in a private home, then a house register is required, which is always in the hands of the owners.
A certificate from the personal account where the newborn is registered. It is issued at the accounting department of the passport office.
If a child is registered with his father, he must present the notarized consent of the mother.

All documents are submitted on a one-stop-shop basis. Along with the originals, you must also prepare copies of documents.

After submitting the documents, the passport office employees collect the certificate and passport. If a child is registered in a private home, then the corresponding entry will be in the house register. The registration period is usually one to seven days. There, parents can make a note in their passport about the birth of a child in the “children” column. On the appointed day, you can pick up your child’s passports and birth certificate.

Certificate of registration of a minor at the place of residence

This certificate comes in two types: forms 3 and 8. The first is intended to certify permanent registration, and the second - for temporary registration.

It contains information about the child, his parents, as well as his place of stay in permanent or temporary form. The document is issued on paper and can only be issued by authorities exercising migration control.

When should a child be registered?

The general rule for registration is that it must be carried out no later than seven days after the citizen has been discharged from the previous place of registration. Penalties are established by law for missing this deadline.

As a rule, this one-week period also applies to registering a newborn. Of course, before this, a birth certificate must be obtained.

Registering a child with his mother - step-by-step instructions

The step-by-step instructions for registering a newborn in an apartment with the mother at the first stage correspond to the described procedure.

The first step is issuing a child’s birth certificate

It is important to know that if the child’s parents have not officially registered the marriage and the father does not confirm his paternity at the registry office, then the baby cannot be registered with the father, because according to the child’s documents, he does not have one. If the parents have legally formalized their relationship, then a certificate is issued to either of them.

The second step is the passport office of the housing department (HOA)

At the passport office, an application for registration of the child is filled out (form No. 6). The forms are issued by the passport office staff. A sample form can be found on the information board at the passport office.

Along with the application you must provide:

Mother's Russian passport with a copy.
Birth certificate + copy.
A certificate of registered residents in the apartment where the child is registered (based on the house register). It is issued there upon presentation of a certificate of registration of the right to an apartment and a passport. When registering a child in a private home, you need a house register, which is always in the hands of the homeowners.
If the month after the birth of the baby is missed, a certificate of registered residents at the place of registration of the father will be required, which should indicate that the child is not registered with the father. This certificate must be taken if the father is registered in the apartment. When registering in a private house, they present the house register.
Certificate from the personal account of the housing where the child is registered. It is issued at the accounting department of the passport office.

After submitting the documents and application, the passport and birth certificate are taken away. If a child is registered in the private sector, a corresponding entry is made in the house register. The registration period is usually 1-7 days. Here they can make a note about the birth of children in the passport.

On the appointed day, you can pick up your child’s passports and birth certificate.

Penalties

Since the procedure for registering a newborn is recognized as mandatory, and its terms are regulated by law, ignoring these provisions is punishable by appropriate sanctions. In particular, if the period is missed, paragraph 19.15.1 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Violations comes into force.

According to paragraph 1 of the article, residence of a person (including a newborn) at the place of stay or permanent residence without registration is punishable by a fine in the amount of 2 thousand rubles to 5 thousand rubles. If the offense is committed in cities of federal significance (Moscow, St. Petersburg), the sanctions will be somewhat more severe. In this case, the amount of the fine may be increased to 7 thousand rubles.

However, the imposition of a penalty can be challenged, for example, if the existence of special circumstances is proven. For example, a valid reason may be the mother and baby undergoing long-term treatment after childbirth. In such cases, we are not even talking about appealing the fine, but about issuing a warning by the employees of the structure responsible for registration.

Registration of newborn children is mandatory within a period of no more than 90 days from the date of birth of the child. However, it is worth starting the procedure as early as possible, because employees of the Federal Migration Service of different regions interpret the legislation differently, and accordingly, the deadlines may vary. It is optimal to submit a request for registration in the first week after the birth of the baby. And it is highly not recommended to miss the regulated deadlines, because such actions are considered a violation and are punishable by penalties.

Third party consent

The consent of third parties (other family members, tenants) is not required if the mother is registered at the child’s registered address.

If the mother is not registered at her place of residence, she must obtain consent to the child registration procedure from the owner. To do this, she needs to collect a package of documents:

certificate of ownership;
application for owner's consent;
passport of the owner of the property (copy);
arrival and departure sheets of persons registered at the specified address.

If the mother lives with her parents, then their consent to the registration of her grandson (granddaughter) is not required. It is worth noting that if the second parent does not consent to the child’s registration, then such actions will be illegal.

Without the owner's consent

Citizens who do not know how to register a child without the consent of the owner often turn to legal advice. The current legislation simplifies the procedure for registering a baby as much as possible. Even if the owner expresses his disagreement with the registration, then in any case the parents have the right to register the child at the residence address of one of the parties.

Documents required for registration of a child:

passport of mother and father (copies);
child's birth certificate (copy);
certificate of marriage or paternity;
parent's application for child registration;
statement from the second parent agreeing to register the child together with the first person (if the parents are registered at different addresses);
extract from the house register;
a certificate stating that the child is not registered with the second parent (if necessary).

A minor child must be registered through the migration service or through the State Services portal. You can print basic statements from it, saving time. The site’s interface is as simple as possible, so questions about how to register a child through government services will not arise.
