Temporary registration of a child for school in 2021 - how to obtain registration for minor children

Author of the article: Lina Smirnova Last modified: January 2021 5624

All citizens living in the Russian Federation are required to register in the place where they live or temporarily stay for longer than the time required by law. Then they need to obtain temporary registration. Temporary registration of a child for school is especially relevant when parents place him there upon initial admission or to continue his studies, if the family moves to another place of temporary residence.

Let's consider the procedure for existing admission to school, the reasons why, among the documents for admission, a certificate of registration is required, as well as what differences exist in the procedure for registering children under 14 years of age and after they reach the age of majority.

What is temporary registration and when is it required?

According to the law, when citizens are without registration or are not at the main registration address, but in another administrative entity for more than 90 days, they are required to obtain temporary registration to legalize their presence in the new place of residence. This is necessary in order to be able to build legal relationships with the state or its individual citizens.

A citizen must register temporarily not only if he has a permanent registration stamp, but also if he does not have registration at all, if he resides on the territory of the Russian Federation for more than the previously specified period.

The actual registration of such registration is carried out in the form of a document issued by the FMS (Federal Migration Service), indicating the right of citizens to reside at the address specified in the document.

This document gives the right to:

official registration with the employer;
placing children in kindergarten or school;
for services in a clinic located in the area of residence;
arrange payments of required social benefits and benefits.

In addition to the rights listed, a temporarily registered citizen has many other opportunities. But if the registration period is overdue, problems may arise, including with the law.

Rules for registration of minors

The basic rules for registering minor children on the territory of the Russian Federation are prescribed in the Civil and Family Codes. For citizens under the age of 14, their official place of registration is the place of residence of their parents. If the parents are registered in different places, the child can be registered only at the place of registration of one of them.

To register an adult, the consent of the owner of the property, as well as all other citizens registered in municipal housing, is required. To register a minor child at the place of registration of one of the parents, no one’s consent is required. This condition is stated in the Administrative Regulations of the Federal Migration Service. After 14 years of age, a child can be registered separately from his parents, but this requires their consent. It is worth keeping in mind that this consent should not be oral, but written - in the form of a separate document filled out by the parents.

Why is it necessary to register a child when he or she enrolls in school?

The law does not prohibit the admission to school of a child who has reached a certain age, if he does not have registration, or who lives in an area not related to the location of the institution. However, the rules of territorial residence of schoolchildren created the need for temporary registration requirements upon their admission to a specific school. This is due to the fact that many schools cannot accept children due to overcrowding and lack of space to educate them. Therefore, the main principle of admitting a child to a particular school is his territorial residence in the area where this educational institution is located. This fact is confirmed by a certificate of temporary registration or a stamp of permanent registration in the passport of the parent or guardian, or the student himself who has a passport.

According to the established procedure, applications are accepted at schools from the beginning of February to the end of June. Only after accepting applications from all children living permanently or temporarily in the school district, subject to the availability of places in it, does admission begin for children who are registered geographically in another place or do not yet have registration at all. Therefore, although a registration document is not a panacea for admission to an educational institution, without it, admitting a child to school will be problematic.

A favorable outcome for enrolling a child in school is the fulfillment of two conditions:

the presence of an educational institution in the area where the student’s family lives;
documentary evidence of her residence in the area (registration document).

Procedure for temporary registration

Registration, regardless of whether it is permanent or temporary, is subject to the general rules established by law.

To temporarily register a child you need to:

parents or their guardians visit the nearest FMS office and submit an application for registration there;
present to the FMS the documents necessary for registering the child;
receive the registration document within the specified period.

The registration period according to the established regulations is three days, subject to the presentation of all required documents. If citizens who applied for registration were unable to immediately present all the required documents, the period may be extended to 8 days.

When registering a child at the same time as registering the parents themselves, it becomes much easier for the child. This is due to the fact that in order to register, you must provide the consent of the owner of the property. This requirement is the same for all property owners, regardless of whether he is an individual, a municipal entity or a legal organization that provided temporary housing under a rental agreement.

When a child is registered simultaneously with the registration of his parents, consent from the owner of the property is not required for his registration. The basis for his registration is the actual registration at the same address of his parents. In this case, the period of his residence is calculated from the moment when the parents applied to the FMS with an application for his registration. If the parents' period of residence ends before the child's period of residence, they have the right to extend it until the end date of their child's registration.

Rights and obligations of the registered and owner

Of course, from the moment a citizen receives his rights, he also has obligations to the owner of the apartment and directly to the state.

What responsibilities do a temporarily registered minor have:

compliance with all rules and regulations;
Payment of utility services;
payment of rent;

As for rights, a citizen does not have the right to dispose of the property in which he is registered if he is not its legal owner.

Documents for registration

To the application to the FMS, parents need to attach, in addition to their own identification documents, documents for the child:

if he is under 14 years old, then his birth certificate should be attached;
upon presentation of the birth certificate, documentary evidence of the child’s citizenship will also be required, which can be obtained from a stamp located on the back of the certificate, or from the child information page of the parents’ passports;
when the child turns 14 years old, his general passport of the Russian Federation is presented;
If the family’s permanent place of residence is outside the Russian Federation, then foreign passports must be provided for all family members.

From the originals of all documents, photocopies are made of those pages that contain basic information about all registered citizens, including the child.

When registering, you can use two options:

draw up a separate registration document for the child;
enter it into a certificate issued in the name of one of his representatives (parents or guardian).

If the child is not yet 14 years old, when registering him and his parents at the same time, the child is usually included in one of the parents’ registration certificates. When he reaches 14 years of age and receives a passport as a citizen of the Russian Federation, the child receives an independent registration document.

Remote application submission

submit an application for a child’s temporary registration for school through the State Services portal or send it by Russian Post.

To submit an application through the State Services website, you must first register on it. After the official assignment of a login, password and electronic signature, many actions for interaction with government agencies become available to the citizen.

To temporarily register a child for school, you must go to the FMS page and fill out the appropriate form. The system will prompt you to upload scanned copies of the required documents.

If all form windows are filled out correctly, you will be asked to select the required FMS or MFC branch to receive the completed document.

When submitting an application via mail, you must fill out the application Form No. 1 PR, attach the necessary copies of documents and send a registered letter with an inventory and notification. If all documents comply, the completed Certificate can be received in about a week.

Registering a child with a parent

Sometimes the child's parents live separately, and his place of residence is determined with one of them, but he temporarily lives with the other parent. For example, this is due to the fact that in the place where the father lives there is a more promising school, so it is in the interests of the child to study there. In such circumstances, both representatives of the child must contact the FMS. One parent must submit an application with a request to temporarily register the child with him, and the other must give written consent to register the child in a new place and present a certificate stating that the child does not yet live with him.

If consent is not obtained, the child will not be registered. In conflict situations, the procedure for communicating with a parent living separately is decided in court. When considering the situation, the court takes into account all factors influencing the decision. If the court makes a decision on the child's residence with the father until graduation, the mother's consent is not required. The basis will be a court decision, and the FMS authorities cannot refuse to accept an application from the father to register the child with him.

Self-registration of a child upon reaching 14 years of age

Sometimes a child who has reached the age of fourteen needs to register, for example, in order to study in another city. According to the law, it is possible to apply to the Federal Migration Service to register the child himself if he is 14 years old.

To do this, he needs to present:

application for registration at your place of residence;
your passport;
a document confirming the consent of his legal representatives to register at the place of temporary residence;
basis for registration (permission of the owner of the residential property in which residence is expected).

Where to contact

Documents for temporary registration of a child can be submitted to:

FMS;
MFC of a given administrative-territorial unit;
Passport office of the management company or organization that owns the property.

The application can also be submitted online using the State Services portal. Since original documents are required for registration, only an application is completed on the Internet, and everything else is submitted at the appointed time to the territorial body of the Federal Migration Service or to the MFC.

Responsibility for lack of temporary registration

Despite the fact that having a registration certificate provides many advantages, not all citizens strive to obtain it on time. For long-term residence of a child’s family without registration in this place, a fine of 2 to 3 thousand rubles is provided. In the capital region it can reach up to 5 thousand rubles. Punishment is provided not only for citizens without registration, but also for owners of residential property in which they live. They can also be fined up to 5 thousand rubles.

In recent years, there have been frequent cases of fictitious registration of future schoolchildren in the area where the prestigious school is located. Parents register them temporarily near such an educational institution, but in fact they do not live there. To prevent such cases, the legislation provides for the application of criminal punishment in the form of imprisonment for a term of up to three years. For fictitious registration in an apartment, homeowners may be fined from 100 to 500 thousand rubles or assigned correctional labor.
