What is "Form 8"?
Sample form 8 about registration of a child
Form 8 - Certificate of registration (registration) of the child at the place of residence. Such a document is mandatory for a child who at birth has the status of a citizen of the Russian Federation. A certificate of permanent registration in Form 8 is made and issued in a single copy.

To do this, you must first issue a power of attorney to the owner of the property. Such a power of attorney gives the right to the owner of the residential premises to obtain Form 8 for the child. In other cases, the consent of other registered citizens at the place of residence is not required to obtain Form 8;

Registration of a child separately from parents
All children under fourteen years of age may only with their parents or legal guardians. It is not allowed to register them with grandparents, aunts and uncles. But as for a child after 14 years of age, the situation is different.
According to the law of the Russian Federation, adulthood occurs at 18 years of age. Since then, the citizen is considered an adult and has the right to make all decisions independently. A passport is issued at the age of fourteen. Thus, from 14 to 18 years of age, he remains a minor, but is entitled to some adult rights. For example, you can register a minor child separately from his parents.
In this case, if the parents and homeowners do not object, the registration of a minor child without parents is carried out as follows. Together with the owner of the premises, the teenager comes in person and writes a corresponding application (the officials will show him a sample of form No. 6). It is accompanied by the young citizen’s passport and the consent of the owner of the premises. If the apartment is municipal, then in addition to the consent of the tenant, they provide the same papers on behalf of all persons registered here.
Who can apply for Form 8?
As stated above, to obtain a certificate in Form 8, citizens need to contact the passport office or MFC.
Such citizens may include:
- Parents of the child;
- Adoptive parents or guardians of the child, who will permanently register the child in their living space;
- The owner of the living space who is ready to register the child with him. To do this, the child’s parents need to issue a power of attorney, which is written according to the sample.
The power of attorney must indicate that with the consent of the parents, the owner of the property can obtain Form 8 regarding the child’s registration. This option will be relevant if, for some reason, the child’s parents have only temporary registration.

Where to obtain a certificate of registration at the child’s place of residence
The authority where you can obtain a certificate is the Federal Migration Service (FMS, passport office) in the territory of residence and stay of the child. For children who, due to their age, do not have a passport, the registration stamp is issued as a separate independent document and additional paper is issued on state letterhead.
You can also get a certificate from the housing office or the management company of your home (provided that it has a passport department).
MFC
On other sites you can read that residents of some large cities can obtain a registration certificate upon application to the Multifunctional Center (MFC). Allegedly, the issuance of a certificate in form No. 8 through this service will be done much faster than from the passport office, and the applicant will not have to collect the entire volume of documents, because the required information is contained in the state database. But in fact, only forms No. 9, and not No. 8, are issued at the MFC ! ⇐
True, the situation may change in the near future. If you find out that this is already being done in your region, please write about it in the comments!
Is it possible to get it online
Online registration and provision of certificates in Form No. 8 through the website of any of the organizations issuing them is not provided, which is due to the specifics of the document and its design.
Can they refuse to issue Form 8?
They can refuse to receive Form 8 only if there is arrears in paying for any utilities in the residential premises where they are going to register the child. After all debts have been repaid, parents again need to go to the district passport office.
