A change of place of residence, even temporary, often requires registration. This procedure, although simple, has its own characteristics.
The most important thing is to collect all the necessary documents. You must select a registration method.
Please note that if there are errors in the documents, it is better to correct them in advance. Incorrect data may cause processing delays
.
Often men are required to provide a military ID.
To register in another city, a citizen must have compelling reasons for this, which can be documented. The passport office specialist may refuse registration if the citizen does not have an identity card.
The presence of the homeowner is also necessary; he must also provide a passport.
If it is not possible to check out of an apartment located in the old city, then you need to fill out a departure and arrival sheet. If there is one, registration is carried out faster.
It is important that if the departure sheet is lost, then the passport office specialist does not have the right to refuse registration.
What should you know about registering a newborn?
When a child is “discharged” from the maternity hospital, you must first document the fact of his birth, and then take care of registration at the place of residence. If the parents are married and have an apartment, in this case registration will not take much time and effort, everything will be limited to a visit to the MFS office (now the functions of this department are already performed by units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs)
.
Having received the child’s birth certificate at the regional registry office, you can go to the passport office, where you need to fill out an application form in Form No. 6. The sample can be found in the organization itself, and if you want to save time, you can download the document and fill it out in advance. It is also important to ensure that you have originals and copies of both parents’ passports, birth and marriage certificates.
Actually, it is absolutely not necessary for both parents to be present in person; it is enough if at least one is present, but with a full set of necessary documents.
If the baby is registered in a private house, a house register will be required, and in the case when the child needs to be registered in an apartment, an extract about everyone who is registered at this address will be required. From the accounting department of the passport office, you must also obtain a certificate about the status of the personal account of the apartment in which the newborn will be registered. Of course, you will need your parents' passports and birth certificate, which you will have to leave and then pick up on the appointed day.
You will have to wait a maximum of a week for registration. Residents of private houses immediately make a corresponding entry in the house register. To apply for registration, one of the parents can come to the passport office, but the package of documents must be complete.
If the infant is registered with one of the parents
For couples who live in a civil marriage, it is important to take into account that if the father does not appear at the registry office and does not declare his paternity, he will officially remain a stranger to the child and will not have parental rights in relation to him.
This means that he will not be able to register on his father’s territory, even with the consent of his mother. Thus, to obtain a birth certificate for a child, both spouses must come, but if a couple has registered a marriage, only one person can apply for a certificate.
In the event that the parents do not live or are simply not registered at the same place of residence, the child must be registered with one of them.
Actually, if the child is registered with the mother, the procedure itself is somewhat simpler than when registering at the father’s living space.
The latter must take with him the originals and copies of the mother’s passport and the child’s birth certificate, come to the passport office and fill out the application form. You will also need a document that confirms ownership of the property, as well as a document confirming the basis for acquiring ownership rights (for example, documents of sale or purchase)
. If a child is registered in a municipal apartment, a social tenancy agreement will be required. You also need an extract from the house register, which will be provided at the same passport office, or the house register itself - in the case of registration in a private house.
The child is registered at the place of residence of the mother according to the same rules that apply if he is registered with parents living together. However, if a month has already passed since the birth of the child, and the father recognized him by writing his name on the birth certificate, to register with the mother, you will also need an extract from the house register at his place of residence. One mother can come to the passport office to register a child.
If the couple does not live together, but the child is registered with the father, both parents must go to the passport office at his place of registration.
The father must fill out a form for his living space, and the mother must submit written consent to register the newborn on the square meters where the father lives. This document is notarized and approved by housing offices; otherwise, the list of documents is the same as for registration with both parents.
Legislative acts
Issues of registration and deregistration in Russia are regulated by one of the basic legislative acts - the Civil Code.
According to Article 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation:
- the child must live in the living space where his parents are registered;
- if the child does not have parents - in the guardian’s area;
- if the mother is registered at one address, and the father at another, then their son or daughter can live in one apartment or in another, but only if both parents have given their consent to this;
- when both the mother and father do not have registration, according to the Civil Code, the child can be registered with the grandmother. But there are many nuances here.
Why is it important to complete everything at once?
Eliminating double registration is an important task for passport services , since this illegal act can be followed by all sorts of frauds related, for example, to receiving government assistance.
Therefore, if registration is carried out more than a month after the birth of the baby, you will need an extract from the house register, which the mother must take at her place of residence, or the house register itself, if the woman lives in a private house. These documents are necessary for passport officers to make sure that the child is not registered with the mother.
In cases where the father was not immediately included in the birth certificate, but there is a need to register the child with him, you should first deal with the official establishment of paternity, and then deal with registration issues. Until paternity is established, the newborn can only be registered with the mother.
Law
Registration on the territory of Russia should be in accordance with the following legal acts
- Federal Law No. 5242-1 of June 25, 1993;
- PP No713;
- Housing Code of the Russian Federation;
- Code of Administrative Offenses
The legislative framework is constantly updated, changes are made to the laws in accordance with the spirit of the times.
Permanent and temporary registration
A citizen is required to register at his place of residence on a permanent basis; registration confirms that he lives in the occupied living space. If a citizen needs to go somewhere, and the duration of the trip is more than 90 days, then he is obliged to register at the place of stay. In this case, there is no need to be discharged from your place of permanent registration.
Remote registration options
Nowadays, to register a child to submit an application, you can do without a personal visit to the passport office or multifunctional center. If you have access to the Internet, nothing prevents you from registering your baby through the government services portal. This is very convenient, since there is already a list of documents, scanned copies of which need to be uploaded, and in this case you definitely won’t have to additionally run around for missing papers.
When using this method, you first need to register on the website, wait for the activation code to arrive, and go to the Federal Migration Service tab and complete all the suggested actions. On the portal, the interface of each service has the form of a questionnaire; all you have to do is select the desired options and upload pre-made scanned copies of documents. Within three days, all information will be checked, after which the child’s legal representatives will receive an official invitation from the registration authorities.
To receive the registration document in your hands, all you have to do is put your personal signature on the application and show the original documents. Thus, only one visit to the passport officers will be enough to complete all registration formalities.
Important nuances
The maximum period during which a newborn baby must be registered in an apartment is not specified anywhere in the legislation, which means, it would seem, there is no need to be afraid of fines and other sanctions. However, there is also a rule that when moving to a new place of residence, registration must be obtained within a week; in fact, the child is no exception in this case and the parents may have to pay a fine. Well, of course, without registration you cannot receive either benefits or benefits associated with adding to the family.
Parents who do not live together choose with whom the infant will be registered.
However, it cannot be registered with other relatives, including grandparents. In order to register a child with them, parents will have to formalize a refusal, and relatives, accordingly, will have to formalize guardianship; only in this way can the issue of registration of the child be resolved where circumstances require it.
Where and with whom can I register my child?
A child under 14 years of age can only be registered:
- With parents or one of the parents. If the parents live together, then the question of registering the child is clear; when they live separately (for example, in a divorce), it all depends on the mutual agreement of the parents.
- With a guardian, adoptive parent.
- Registration of children under 14 years of age with other close relatives, and even more so with strangers, is practically impossible.
When a child is registered in a privatized or municipal apartment, there is no need to interfere with:
- accounting standard for living space. It does not limit the child’s right to registration;
- lack of consent of the owner of the property, as well as the persons registered in it. Such consent is simply not required;
As a result, the rights of a child registered in an apartment have the same force as other residents of this apartment.
Registration for rented living space
Even if the parents do not have ownership rights to the housing in which they intend to register the child, there is no need to obtain documentary permission from the current owner. However, this rule applies only to the first registration, and then when changing the place of registration, such permission will be required.
Moreover, if parents rent housing, nothing prevents them from temporarily registering their child there. This possibility is provided for in Art. 70 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation. It is useful to know that the landlord’s written consent is also not required in this case. True, it is possible that the migration service will require a statement from the owner of the apartment and even ask for his personal presence when submitting documentation for registration.
If the tenants are responsible people, it is not difficult to convince the owners of the need to appear on the appointed day and sign documents, since, as is known, they are the owners responsible for people living in their apartments without registration. It may be necessary to provide some clarification and also explain to them that the child will have no bearing on the right to housing and will automatically be de-registered after the specified period.
FAQ
Question: Can the owner or main tenant be an applicant to register a child who is not his own in his own apartment (for example, grandmother, aunt, uncle, etc.)?
No, you cannot, even if the child’s parents live in this apartment. Only the mother or father can be an applicant for registration. This is one of the significant differences between registering a child and an adult.
Question: Can the owner or main tenant register someone else’s child in his own apartment?
Maybe if the mother or father is registered in this apartment, but only the child’s parents can act as an applicant for registration.
Question: If the parents moved to a new address without registering the child from the old one, is it necessary to register the child at the new place of registration of the parents?
Yes, definitely within 7 days
Can they refuse registration?
Sometimes passport service employees become arbitrary and put all sorts of obstacles in the way of registering a child. For example, they refuse to issue certificates of personal accounts and extracts from house books, citing debts for utilities as the reason for the refusal. In this case, you need to show restraint and demonstrate legal “savvy” - registration has nothing to do with debts, but refusing to register a child with parents without reason can become a reason for the official’s lack of career growth.
An insufficient number of square meters according to the standards is not a reason for refusing to register a child. He will be registered in any case, which means he does not face the prospect of being left without a place of state registration.
If the registration authorities, despite submitting a full package of documents, still refuse registration, you must first contact the head of the passport office, and, if this does not help, contact higher authorities. It is worth demanding that the refusal with all arguments be in writing in order to have the main evidence in hand in case of litigation.
What happens if you don't register your child?
Registration is necessary so that the baby and his parents can easily use all the types of assistance and social services they are entitled to.
Long-term residence of a child without registration is a reason for a monitoring visit from representatives of the guardianship authorities and close attention of the migration services. Without registering your baby it is almost impossible to:
- be served in a public clinic;
- obtain compulsory health insurance for the child;
- register maternity capital;
- receive various types of assistance provided to children in the first year of life (for example, dairy services)
; - register the child in a nursery, and then in a kindergarten;
- enjoy other social benefits.
