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.
Where and how can I get it?
Form 8 can be obtained from the following authorized bodies:
- passport department of the housing and communal services enterprise servicing a residential building;
- MFC;
- Passport and visa service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
You can use the State Services portal, and it is also quite possible to express your need for Form 9 for your child via mail. If one of the parents applies in person, there is a chance to receive the document immediately, and if the employees are too busy - in a couple of hours, on the same day.
Submitting an application via the Internet or by mail will require a lot of time, but no longer than a week.
Now you know where to get help.
How to get it? A certificate will be issued if the parent has the following papers:
- application with a request to issue f. 8 in the child's name;
- your passport;
- birth certificate of a minor child;
- if available, a certificate of registration of the offspring.
However, the latter is not at all necessary: all the same, the information specified in the application for registration of a child from the mother or father will be checked. The paper will be issued only if the undergrowth is actually listed in the database of residents registered at this address.
We talked about what documents will be needed to register a child at the place of residence in this material.
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.
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 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.
Why does a child need a Form 8 certificate?
A child’s registration document is required in many cases, the most common of which are:
- queuing for kindergartens
- registration of all types of child benefits
- obtaining a maternity capital certificate
- upon entering school
- in case of divorce (if there are children)
- and other needs
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.
What documents are required to obtain Form 8?
To obtain a certificate of residence registration form 8, you must have the following documents with you:
- Passports of both parents , if they have permanent registration in the same living space. If only one of the child's parents has permanent registration, then the child can be registered in this area. Copies of passports will need to be left with the agency that registers the child. The original documents and their copies are given back to the parents when they come to receive Form 8 about the child’s registration;
- Marriage certificate , if you have one with you at the time of submitting documents;
- Child's birth certificate and its copy . Such a certificate must be stamped, which will confirm that the child is a citizen of the Russian Federation;
- Application from the child's parent or guardian . This statement states: 4.1 . The name of the organization that will consider the application; 4.2. Full name and contact information of the applicant; 4.3. The text of the application itself describes the request to register the child. To do this, indicate his initials and date of birth, and at what address he will be registered;
- Document on ownership of an apartment or other living space.
You may also need documents such as:
- Certificate from the other parent confirming that the child is not registered in his/her living space.
Such a certificate is needed if the parents are registered at different addresses. This certificate can be obtained from the EIGRTS or the Federal Migration Service. Also, the parent at whose address the child will not be registered must write a statement. In it, the second parent confirms in writing his consent to the child being registered in the first parent’s living space;
- An extract must be made from the house register ;
- You need to make a copy from the financial and personal account at the address where the child will have permanent registration.
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 to contact?
Services for issuing a document in Form 8 on the permanent place of registration of children are provided by the following authorities:
- Federal Migration Service branches located at the child’s place of residence;
- Departments involved in monitoring and recording the movement of citizens under the housing organization servicing the house;
- MFC.
The ability to contact Multifunctional Centers facilitates the process of obtaining a certificate, since the center’s database contains most of the necessary data. This eliminates the need to collect a lot of documents.
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.
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.
Along with all the necessary documents, you may be required to provide a receipt indicating that there is no debt on the residential premises.
As can be seen from what is written above, obtaining Form 8 about the registration of a child is not always easy . But this must be done, because Form 8 is also an important document.
Firstly, such a document may be necessary when you need to get on the waiting list for a kindergarten or school and get a place there. Secondly, upon presentation of Form 8 and other necessary documents, the child’s parents or guardian, if necessary, can receive food for the child at the dairy kitchen.
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.
Difference between registering adults and minors
Registration at the place of permanent residence of an adult citizen is carried out by himself, upon presentation of his identity card, and with the written approval of the owner of the apartment, as well as all adults who live in the same area.
In relation to a child, registration actions are subject to other requirements (clause 114 of the Administrative Regulations, approved by Order of the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation dated September 11, 2012 N 288).
As explained in Art. 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the child’s place of residence until he has crossed
The 14-year mark is the place where his parents or other legal representatives live - for example, guardians, adoptive parents. The Admin is focused on this moment. regulations.
To obtain a child's registration, no one's opinion matters - in any case, a minor has the right to register at the same address where both parents, or one of them, are registered (clauses 115-117 of the Regulations).
It is important that violation of living space standards does not change anything, and the baby will be registered with mom or dad, even if this standard in fact becomes far from ideal.
Why does a child need registration?
It is important to consider that the registration procedure for a minor can be carried out without taking into account the rules of residence at the new place of residence. Even if there are more people registered in the apartment than the current regulations provide, the child can still be registered in it.
The procedure for registering children is regulated by a number of legislative acts and documents, including:
- Administrative regulations of the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation;
- Article 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation;
- Clause 28 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation.
The administrative regulations of the Federal Migration Service of Russia (later the service became the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs) on the procedure for registering citizens at their place of residence can be found here.
What can happen if you stay without registration?
The first document describes in detail the process of submitting documentation and the procedure for obtaining a new registration. The second provides for certain restrictions regarding the registration of minors. The third contains a list of documents necessary to carry out the procedure, as well as obtaining a certificate of registration.
The Civil Code provides that a child can be registered exclusively with his parents or one of them, at the place of their actual residence, until he reaches the age of 14 . Such a place is recognized as housing where a citizen lives on a permanent basis or most of the time.
How to register a child?
As mentioned earlier, the list of documents required for registration depends on the age of the child. If you register a baby before he reaches one month of age, general civil documents for the parent and baby, as well as a completed application in Form 6, will be sufficient.
The application form for registration at the place of residence (form No. 6) can be downloaded here.
Sample application for registration of a child at the place of residence
If the child’s age has exceeded this mark, the package of documents required for the registration procedure increases significantly. It includes:
- If a child is registered with one parent, consent from the other, certified by a notary, will be required.
- Parents' marriage certificate, if available.
- A house register will be required in cases where the place of registration is a private house.
- Certificate of ownership of a residential property or a social tenancy agreement when registering in municipal housing.
If the housing is classified as municipal, successful registration does not require the consent of the tenant and other persons registered in this apartment. In cases where housing has been privatized, the child can be registered subject to a number of conditions. First of all, he must own a share or the entire premises, or his legal guardians/parents are permanently registered there.
Any disputes with the owner of the property regarding the child’s registration are resolved exclusively in court.
Sample of father's consent to register a child at the mother's address
In order to register a child, you must contact any of the following government agencies:
- Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
- Passport Office;
- MFC.
Registration is completed in a fairly short time, not exceeding a week. Based on its results, children under 14 years of age receive an appropriate certificate, and those who have reached the age of 14 receive a stamp in their passport.
If you pre-discharge the child from the previous place of residence and keep the certificate of departure, the registration time can be reduced to 1 day.
