Read on our website about how to register the birth of a child in the registry office, how long it takes to register a newborn at the place of residence, what documents are required for this, and also whether it is possible to register him temporarily.
The essence of the document and the purpose of its receipt
Certificate of registration is an official document of the unified Form No. 9, which reflects information about citizens registered at a specific address , as well as those who previously lived in this living space.
The regulations for issuing this certificate are contained in FMS Order No. 288 dated September 11, 2012.
Depending on the amount of information reflected in the certificate, there are two types of this document:
- simple - contains information about persons registered in the living space at the time of issue;
- archival - reflects information about everyone registered at a given address, starting from the moment the living space was put into operation.
A certificate is required to receive some government services:
- Registration of maternity capital.
- Obtaining a health insurance policy.
- Registration of child benefits and other social payments.
- The child’s admission to kindergarten or school.
- Registration of transactions for the alienation of living space.

Maternal capital
— One of the most frequently asked questions among future parents concerns the procedure for obtaining maternity capital. How to get one?
— The practice of proactively issuing certificates for maternal capital is now widespread. In other words, you do not need to go anywhere specially with documents to confirm the appearance of a child in your family. As soon as the baby is born, information about this is received by the relevant authorities, who must subsequently notify you of the granted right to maternity capital.
The State Services website will soon launch so-called “super services” (they are really super!) for a variety of life situations. Among them will be the life situation “Birth of a child” - and as soon as the baby is born, an electronic birth certificate and an electronic SNILS will immediately be issued for him, his mother will be able to register the baby online at her place of residence and receive her “capital” . In addition, she will immediately receive an SMS on her phone with a question about where exactly the state should transfer her 18 thousand rubles - a one-time benefit for the birth of a child.
You won't even have to go anywhere! Parents will receive both documents and money for the child automatically. This whole fabulous story awaits our country any day now - at least that’s what they promise at the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of the Russian Federation.

A certificate of the child’s place of registration according to Form 9 contains the following information :
- Full name of the recipient of the document.
- A list of those registered in the living space with their dates of birth and degree of relationship with the owner of the premises.
- Data about the residential premises (footage, number of rooms, data from the document on the basis of which ownership rights arose).

Depending on the purpose of obtaining the document, its content may vary.
The certificate issued to a minor may only contain information about citizens registered in the living space. Next, let's look at where to get a certificate about the place of registration of the child, or, conversely, a certificate that the child is not registered in the apartment?

Registration deadlines
Among the requirements stipulated by law regarding the registration of citizens, registration deadlines are of great importance. At the same time, current laws do not regulate in any way the time during which a baby should be registered in an apartment. However, if such an issue is not resolved for too long, regulatory authorities may impose a fine.
It is recommended to register young children during the first month of their life, as this will require a minimum package of documentation:
- a completed application on behalf of the parent;
- passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
- baby metric.
If you do not have time to register your child during this period, the parent may need a more extensive package of documents, which will complicate the procedure.
Sample application for child registration from a legal representative
According to the rules, minor children must be registered 7 days after moving to a new place of residence. Otherwise, the parent will face a fine.
However, the regulatory authorities do not have the opportunity to find out the actual timing of the move, since according to Article 19.15 Part 2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, documentary evidence is not required to determine the time of the move. This means that theoretically any period of time can pass between discharge and subsequent registration in new housing.
Place and order of registration
So, where can I get a child’s registration certificate? A certificate of registration of a child can be obtained from the passport office, housing office or management company , where there are authorized services. Currently, the document can be obtained through MFCs established in many localities.
A minor citizen aged 14 years or older can independently obtain Form 9. A document for a child under 14 years of age can be issued by his parents or legal representatives.
How to obtain a child registration certificate? To receive it, you need to contact the appropriate organization and write an application , to which attach a package of documents:
- passport with registration at this address;
- registration certificate of a minor under 14 years of age or passport of a child over 14 years of age;
- home Book.
You can learn about in what cases a child can be registered separately from his parents, for example with his grandmother, from our articles.
Why do you need a birth certificate?
The main thing for which a child’s birth certificate is needed is to receive a one-time benefit. It is part of the documents required to be submitted to the FSS of the Russian Federation. Only after its transmission, along with the rest of the necessary information, do the social security authorities make a decision on the payment of the appropriate benefit.
The size of this federal (all-Russian) payment as of January 2021 was 18,004.12 rubles, and from February 2021 it was increased to 18,886.32 rubles. And this is not counting regional similar benefits and payments dedicated to the birth of children.
However, if the certificate is not provided, benefits will be denied . Therefore, one of the first steps that an employee needs to take after the birth of a child is to obtain such a document from the relevant authorities.
How long does it last?
The validity period of Form 9 is important for real estate transactions. In this case, the information provided in it is valid for 30 days .
If the certificate is required for submission to other authorities, it is valid for an unlimited period . Updating the information is necessary only if there are changes in the composition of the premises registered on the premises.

Procedure for registering children's place of residence
The issue of registration (registration) of children is very relevant today, since the presence of registration for minors is important in the legal field. The lack of registration for children greatly affects the implementation of some rights granted by law and social guarantees for them. This also applies to educational school institutions, as mentioned above, in the possibility of receiving various child benefits, etc.
Migration Service monitors whether children are registered , and if this is not observed, this government body imposes penalties for violation of the law, based on the second part of Art.
19.15 Code of Administrative Offences. Registration of a child at the place of residence is determined by Order No. 288 in September 2012 of the FSM of Russia, and this area of legal regulation is also affected by the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
Article 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation establishes the place of registration of children: under fourteen years of age at the place of permanent registration of his legal representatives (parents, adoptive parents, guardians); upon reaching the age of fourteen, registration of their place of residence is allowed with their grandmother or with other relatives who own housing.
List of documents for registration registration
As for documents for registration at the place of residence, the following must be provided to the passport office, also located at the place of residence of the person being registered (or to the department of the Russian migration service, if there is none):
- identification card of a minor (birth certificate of a child under fourteen years of age or a general Russian passport for children over this age),
- application form No. 6 for registration of a minor at the place of residence (this application can be submitted by a child who has reached the age of 14 independently, in other cases on behalf of the person being registered),
- ID card (passport) of the legal representative with a mark of registration of the same place of residence where the child is registered.
If the parents live separately from each other, there is a different procedure that requires the provision of additional documents. It is enshrined in Part 3 of Art. 65 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation.
If the registration of a minor who is under fourteen years of age is to be issued initially, then you should contact the
migration service department at the place of residence of one of the parents.
Where to provide identification cards (passports) of both parents and one written consent from a parent living elsewhere to register the child at the address specified in the application. If a minor citizen has guardians, then you will additionally need to provide:
- document confirming guardianship,
- an extract from the house register or information about personal accounts,
- a certificate from the passport officer stating that the child is not registered at the address of the second guardian,
- marriage certificate if necessary,
- other documents.
Registration of newborns. Nuances
According to the law, the deadline for registering newborns is seven days. You can register (register) a newborn in the presence of one legal representative. These simplifications in registering newborns also apply to those cases when the parents do not have a marriage certificate, i.e. they are not officially married. The only exception in this situation is registration at the father’s place of residence; if the marriage between the parents is not registered, then the newborn cannot be registered with the father.
If the legal representatives have
different places of registration , then in the case of registration of the child with the father, notarized consent of the mother is required.
However, when registering him with his mother, such consent from the father does not need to be provided. When registering a newborn for the first time, the consent of the owner of the property where the child will be registered is not required , but in the case of further procedures related to his registration, the owner’s opinion will be valid.
Even if, according to the standards of the living space where the parents of the newborn live, there are not enough square meters required for living, it will still be registered, since children born are protected by the state and cannot be citizens without a place of registration.
Possible difficulties. Registration of a child at place of residence
Often the homeowner refuses to register the child on his square meters. But this is not a reason to panic; the actions of this owner are considered illegal if at least one of the parents of a minor child is already registered at this address.
In this case, lawyers advise obtaining the owner’s refusal in writing, and then submitting an application and a notarized copy of the refusal to the prosecutor’s office.
The following cases are not reasons for refusal
There is another difficult case when the parents of a child living separately cannot determine where to register him or what address to indicate in the application. If there is no mutual agreement, lawyers recommend writing an application to the court, and it, in turn, will issue a decision to conduct an examination describing the living conditions at both addresses, as a result of which the decision on the place of registration of the child will be in his favor.
After resolving issues related to registration of the place of residence of a minor child, you can obtain a certificate of registration at the place of residence, Form No. 8.
Timing and cost
The applicant can receive the certificate on the day of application or the next business day. The service is free and is not subject to state duty.

What is a passport?
A passport is a legal document that allows you to leave the country.
There are two types of international passport:
- old model - resembles a Russian passport in structure;
- biometric - there are additions (retina scanning, fingerprints).
It is important to be careful when applying for a passport for traveling abroad. You need to calculate the time of its issuance and the travel time so that you do not have to refuse it. Any error or lack of information may delay the processing of the document.
What depends on the age of the child?
Whether a child receives a passport depends on the age of the recipient:
- up to fourteen years of age - you can receive a document without having either permanent or temporary registration;
- from the age of fourteen - registration data is transferred from the Russian passport or a temporary registration is issued; there are nuances of registration without it.
According to Russian legislation, a citizen of our country has the right to freely obtain a foreign passport without registration. But in some cases the application may be refused (for example, criminal liability or credit history).
The obtaining procedure takes no more than four months. At this time, specialists from the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs check all documents.
