Why do you need a certificate?

The family composition document must include the following:

• information about the applicant;
• address of the residential premises and basic information about it;
• information about those who live together with the citizen who applied for the document and are registered on these square meters;
• indications of family ties of household members.

Such a seemingly simple document confirming the number of family members turns out to be indispensable in a number of life situations. These include:

• receiving benefits (for large, low-income families, when paying the cost of housing and communal services, etc.);
• applying for a loan (for example, if the family’s existing home serves as collateral);
• placing on a waiting list for improved housing conditions (in this case, the certificate will serve as proof that a large family is cramped in a small apartment);
• receiving a tax deduction;
• granting a deferment from military service (a certificate for the military registration and enlistment office must confirm the conscript’s right to perform military duty later);
• collection of alimony payments from one of the child’s parents, etc.

Remember that you do not have the right to refuse to receive a certificate on the basis of debts for utility services. Any refusal must be motivated in writing.

The certificate can be obtained by both the owner of the residential premises (and not only for his own needs, but also for third parties), as well as anyone who has a residence permit there. In addition, guardians of children, as well as law enforcement officers, lawyers, notaries, etc. have the right to apply for a document.

Special cases of obtaining a certificate of registered persons

Depending on where the document is provided, it may have different content. For example, when receiving a subsidy, a certificate from the place of residence must contain information about everyone registered in the living space, regardless of the degree of relationship. If the paper is drawn up for the board of guardians, it contains information only about members of a particular family.

Certificate of family composition for a child

If you need to receive an extract from the MFC about the child’s place of residence in Form 9, this can be done by one of his parents (or guardians). To do this, you need to come to the public services center and present the following documents:

• identification;
• child's birth certificate;
• certificate of child registration in form 8 (if available);
• USRN extract or other housing title documents.

If a minor is over 14 years old, then he must appear in person to receive these documents or issue a notarized power of attorney for his parent (guardian).

Form 9, if the husband and wife are registered in different places

If the husband and wife are registered at different addresses, then they need to take two separate statements in Form 9 indicating information about each spouse.

What does the term “family composition” mean?

When an economic and social situation arises in a family, the concept of the term “family composition” is important for many citizens.

So, in accordance with the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, citizens who are included in the family are:

1. The owner of the living space;
2. Parents of the home owner;
3. Relatives of the first and second degrees of kinship. These include: brothers, sisters, grandparents, grandchildren, wife or husband;
4. Natural, foster and adopted children;
5. Third-party citizens who are registered in the living space with the consent of the owner of the living space.

In order for the above citizens to be officially recognized as part of a family, they must meet certain criteria:

• The owner of the living space has no claims against relatives or strangers, and has his consent to their residence in this housing;
• Spouses must have official marriage registration;
• The owner of the property officially registered the above-mentioned relatives in his living space.

An important indicator in the composition of the family is the overall financial budget, equality in the distribution of responsibilities to each other and joint management of the household.

To issue a certificate, registration or actual residence is required

Remember that a certificate is issued only if the person applying is registered at the required address. If he lives in another place, then it is possible to register at the place of residence and pick up a certificate at the address. It is also possible to order it where the person is registered. If this place is far enough away, you can carry out your plan by submitting a remote application using the mail (registered letter with notification). It is also possible to issue a power of attorney for a loved one so that he can pick up the document and then send it to the applicant.

If a person has not registered at the address, it will not be possible to issue a certificate. If you applied for a document, and department employees refused you, it is recommended that you contact an experienced legal specialist. A specialist will help solve the problem and suggest what to do in this situation. It is necessary to take into account the validity period of the certificate and obtain it, intending to bring it where required in the near future. This is recommended to avoid serious problems if the validity period has expired.
