What does the law say?
Does my child need temporary registration for school?
The Law “On the Right of Citizens to Freedom of Movement...” No. 5242-1 dated June 25, 1993 and the Registration Rules approved by Order of the Federal Migration Service No. 288 of 2012 establish uniform registration rules for all citizens, regardless of their age.
According to these documents, a person who is not at his main place of residence for more than 90 days is required to register temporarily at his place of residence.
At the same time, the requirement of Article 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation is in effect, requiring the residence and registration of a child under 14 years old together with his parents .
This means that it can be temporarily registered only at the address where one of the parents is registered. Temporary registration of a child separately from his parents is possible only from the age of 14 , with their consent.
If a minor citizen does not have temporary registration if he is not at his place of residence for more than 90 days, FMS employees should take an interest in the violation
cannot legally serve as an obstacle to enrolling in school . There are no conditions for having a residence permit upon admission to an educational institution either in the Law “On Education” or in any other legal acts.
However, this becomes an obstacle to enrolling in school, since in each of them there are local acts that prescribe that children living in the area where it is located must first be enrolled in the educational institution.
Such regulations are adopted by the administrations of educational institutions based on the requirements of Rosobrnadzor and Order of the Ministry of Education and Science No. 32 of January 22, 2014 on the admission of children to school at their place of residence.
Therefore, local registration for school is necessary if you want him to
attend one close to home.
Otherwise, it will be possible to get into the educational institution only if there are free places.
If all the places are occupied, then a child without temporary registration in this area will have to go to any other educational institution, and this may be too far from their place of residence .

Place of registration
Where and how to get a temporary registration for a child for school? For registration of a minor citizen, unlike an adult, there are some restrictions .
A minor under 14 years of age can register only with one of the parents (Article 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). To obtain the right to register a child at any address, one of the parents must also register there.
With the consent of the parents, a child from the age of 14 can register separately from them. But such registration is possible only on the territory of a close relative . Moreover, the relationship with him must be documented.

Fines for failure to temporarily register a child
Citizens can reside in the Russian Federation without registration for up to 90 days from the date of entry. The rule applies to both adults and minors. If it is discovered that a child has not registered after this, a fine of 2-3.5 thousand rubles is imposed on the parents.
Since 2014, criminal liability has been established for fictitious temporary registration for a child to enroll in school. If this fact is discovered, the administration of the educational institution may contact the territorial bodies of the Federal Migration Service or the prosecutor's office to conduct an investigation. If the offense is proven, the perpetrators are subject to punishment in the form of:
- a fine in the amount of 100,000 to 500,000 rubles, or in the amount of salary, or other income for up to 3 years, with the right to hold certain positions;
- corrective labor for up to 3 years;
- restrictions of freedom for the same period.
In this case, the minor is subject to expulsion from the educational institution and deprivation of registration.
Having established that the child does not live at the place of his official registration, the parents will be asked to apply for temporary registration.
Rules for the procedure
How to temporarily register a child for school? The registration process is carried out at the location of the residential premises. You must contact the territorial branch of the FMS or MFC and write an application using Form No. 1 .
A minor over the age of 14 fills it out independently; one of the parents fills out the form on behalf of a citizen under 14 years of age.
Along with the application, the employee is given the following documents :
- Birth certificate or passport of the minor.
- Premises rental agreements.
- Passport of a parent registered at the same address.
- Parent's registration certificate.
If the parent is registered at the same address, the consent of the owner of the residential premises for the registration of the child is not required.
If he is registered separately from his parents, the owner of the premises must be present at the procedure with the necessary package of documents (passport, Certificate of Ownership). You will also need to present a document proving your relationship with the child . An MFC or FMS accepts a package of documents and issues a receipt for their receipt. After three to seven days, you will be invited to the organization to receive a Certificate of Registration. A teenager from 14 years of age can obtain a document independently .
How to enroll children in first grade:
Enrollment is carried out in 3 stages.
- Stage 1 - for children who have priority enrollment rights (if older brothers and sisters, children of police officers, military personnel, if the parent works at this school, are already studying at the selected school). Applications are accepted from December 15th.
- Stage 2 - for those living in the assigned territory. Applications are accepted from January 20 to June 30.
- Stage 3 - for those who do not live in the assigned territory. Acceptance of applications from July 1.
Each school has a list of streets and house numbers that are assigned to a particular school. You can find out which school you belong to via the Internet, in the education department, and at the school itself.
It happens that one side of the street belongs to one school, and the other to another. Streets are assigned according to the “yard” principle.
According to SanPiN in the city, the distance to school should be no more than 500 m, for first-graders no more than 400 m. In villages for high school students the distance is no more than 4 km, for junior grades no more than 2.

Do I need registration for a school or kindergarten?
The justified desire of parents to give their child the best sometimes encounters obstacles created by territorial restrictions. A fairly common situation is when the best kindergarten or exemplary school in which you would like to see your child is located in another area that does not coincide in territorial affiliation with your place of residence.
The administration of a school or kindergarten has the right to refuse to accept documents and your child into its institution, as it will be guided by “Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation of February 15, 2012 No. 107 “On approval of the Procedure for admitting citizens to educational institutions.”
This law does not apply to private and specialized educational children's institutions and kindergartens, in which the psychological or physical characteristics of the child and the solvency of his parents are most often the basis for admission. When entering such a school, you still need to find out whether registration is required for a school that is not a standard general education institution from its management.
You will also need to ask the administration of specialized preschool institutions whether registration is needed for the kindergarten. They most often do not require registration in a specified area - you just need to be registered in the city.
If we are talking about a standard general education institution or kindergarten, then entering it without registration will be quite problematic. In this case, the solution will be to change the place of registration of your child to the district attached to the territory that serves the institution in which you wish to enroll.
Theoretically, there is a possibility that the question of whether a child will be accepted into school without registration will be resolved positively if there are free places in the educational institution. Before enrolling a child in a school without registration, parents should personally communicate with representatives of the school administration and find out the projected occupancy of the school with students for the school year. If the filling of children with registration in the assigned area is complete, the situation will be resolved by temporary registration of the child for school.

For citizens of the Russian Federation, the registration procedure at the place of residence is free , so you will not have to pay any state duty.
Foreign citizens are required to pay a state fee of 350 rubles.
Registration of temporary registration for a school is a necessary procedure .

If the age of the future student is less than 6.5 years or more than 8 years, a conclusion from a psychological, medical and pedagogical commission will be required. She will confirm the opportunity to be in the social environment of first-graders.
Important! Only one parent or guardian can submit an application for admission to a general education institution. But the control system has not yet been developed, so the possibility of registering for admission to two schools at the same time cannot be ruled out.
