A person’s stay outside the place of permanent registration for more than 3 months is a reason for obtaining temporary registration. Such legal provisions are relevant for both adults and young citizens of the Russian Federation. Especially the nuances of the algorithm by which a child is registered at the place of stay should be studied by families who have registration in one place, but in fact live in another. The procedure, legislative norms, price and responsible authorities - we talk about these and other details of registration of temporary registration of children in this material.
“Permanent” registration of a child
Russian legislation defines two types of registration:
- at place of residence (permanent);
- at the place of stay (temporary).
Permanent registration (as it was called in Soviet times) is issued for a long period based on the fact:
- ownership of housing or its share;
- rental agreements;
- social hiring and other legal cases.
Children are registered with their parents, the basis for this is the fact of their birth and a document confirming it. Up to 14 years of age, with permanent registration, a certificate is issued in a special form; from 14 years old, a stamp is placed in the passport.
As for registration at the place of stay, a temporary registration of the child is issued at the place of residence of one of the parents. It is limited in time and, as mentioned above, implies the issuance of a certificate.
Material risks of the homeowner
Here it is worth explaining each risk in detail, given how different they are:
- Risk of loss of property rights. Does not exist, since temporary registration has absolutely nothing to do with the ownership of real estate, no matter who the temporarily registered person is, no matter what age he is.
- Increase in utility bills. That part of them, which is paid not according to meters, but according to the number of registered persons, will increase in proportion to the number of residents. If the rental agreement does not indicate the obligation of tenants to pay for utilities, then the owner of the property will pay for them.
- Inconsistency between the timing of registration of the minor’s parents and the minor’s own. For example, if the child’s registration period has not yet expired, but the temporary registration period for his parents has expired, then they will be able to legally register with their child again.
- Erroneous registration of a minor, not on a temporary, but on a permanent basis, will not allow him to be later discharged even in court. You will have to sell your home, from which the new owner can remove the minor on the basis of Art. 292 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and Article 31 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation.
To summarize, we can say that registering a minor does not entail any risk for the owner of losing rights to real estate, but it is much more difficult to register a minor than his parents, and sometimes this is only possible in court.
Time frame within which a child must be registered
Specific deadlines for registering children at the place of residence or stay are not established in regulations; they are determined by the same rules as for adults.
Permanent registration is issued within a week from the moment of entry into the premises. This rule is relevant for both Russians and foreigners. If the child is a newborn, then 7 days are counted from the date of receipt of the birth certificate or the day of actual move-in (after all, the baby and mother may be in the maternity hospital for some time).
As for temporary registration (at the place of stay), it should be issued if a Russian family with a child lives outside the place of permanent registration for more than 90 days.
A separate issue concerns families of foreign migrants with children. In this case, they have registration at the place of residence in their home country. Russian laws require them to register for migration (this is the registration of temporary registration) within 7 days from the moment of entry into the country.
Reasons for receiving
Why do children need registration for a short period and what are the consequences of its absence?
By law, all Russian citizens who live at an address other than their main one for more than 90 days must have such a registration.
Even moving to a neighboring entrance or house is accompanied by the need for such a procedure. Of course, this rule also applies to children.
If the child is already in school, then there is no urgent need for this. But this does not mean that you can forget about it. You can wait a month or two , but after that you will still have to contact the FMS authorities.
After all, without this, benefits and social payments may not be issued , and free medical care may be denied. In order not to fuss at the last moment, it is still better to register your child in advance.
The need for temporary registration
The institute of registration, although it is of a notification nature, implies access to many state benefits, both for adults and for children.
If the family does not have a permanent residence permit, it is the temporary registration of a minor child at the place of residence that provides access to medical or educational services. Sometimes, in order to get a place in the desired school, parents even apply for a “fake” temporary registration in the desired area. This, of course, is illegal and is punishable according to the norms of the Administrative and Criminal Codes.
In addition, without registration, it is impossible to issue the required financial payments for the child. In this case, it is the temporary registration of the newborn that will help to draw up documents and receive the assistance due from the state. Registration is also needed to prevent fraud, when young parents seek to apply for social assistance in two places at the same time.
The described rules and provisions of the law are relevant both for citizens of the state and for foreigners permanently or temporarily residing in Russia.
How to register a child at the place of stay
The question of how to temporarily register a child at the place of stay is resolved in the same way as in the case of permanent registration: the same rules, the same responsible authorities, the same package of documents.
The nice thing about registering children is that the consent of the property owners (other relatives or the landlord) is not required. That is, if a minor is “moved” into an apartment, no one can prevent this. Provided, of course, that one of the parents is registered at this address.
Place of registration – at the parents’ address or separately
As in the case of permanent registration, the child is registered at the place of residence of the parents. If the father and mother are registered in different places, then the registration of children at the place of residence is carried out at the address of one of the parents after a mutual agreement is made, in the absence of which the issue is resolved in court.
Very important: you need to decide on the registration address as quickly as possible. Indeed, in addition to imposing a fine on the parents, the father and mother, because of such disagreements, deprive their child of the right to enjoy many government benefits.
When a child turns 14 years old, he has the right to choose at which address to register, and from this age registration is possible without parents (but with their written consent). When registering a teenager without a father or mother, the consent of the apartment owner is also attached to the main package of documents.
Package of documents
The main documents for obtaining temporary registration are the identity cards of the parents and the child. For adults this is a passport (TRP or residence permit - for foreigners), for minors - a birth certificate (if under 14 years old) and a general passport (if already 14 years old).
In addition to identification documents, it is also necessary to provide a document proving the parents' registration:
- passports (if the registration is permanent, then it is stamped);
- registration certificates (if the parents’ registration is temporary).
If the father and mother are registered at different addresses, then when registering a child at the place of residence of one of them, written consent will be required from the other. It is also necessary to attach certificates and statements confirming that the baby has no longer been registered at his address.

How to register a minor in this case?
This type of registration of a minor is subject to the same general rules that apply to an adult .
What is needed for this procedure? There are no actual differences between age categories.
Where is this procedure performed? The procedure is carried out by the Federal Migration Service (FMS). Citizens of the Russian Federation have the right to contact institutions both at the address of their main residence and their current stay. In simple terms, you need to go to the “passport office” .
Bodies responsible for registration of temporary registration
All issues related to the registration of citizens are dealt with by the Main Directorate for Migration Issues of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. The department has its own branches in almost all settlements of the country, and in small settlements this area is supervised by village councils.
In large cities, residents have several more opportunities to apply for registration at their place of residence: MFC and the State Services portal. Let's look at each of them in more detail.
A multifunctional center is an advantage of a big city
Organization of multifunctional centers to provide government services to many other authorities. After all, here, in addition to temporary registration, you can get a passport, license, tax identification number, certificate for maternity capital, as well as many additional “formal” certificates, for which you previously had to stand in line.
The service for obtaining temporary registration (like all others) is provided on a “single” window basis, by appointment. The collected package of documents is handed over to MFC employees, who check them and issue a certificate under the same conditions and within the same time frame as the GUVM branches.
Online registration through State Services
Another practical innovation that facilitates the registration process (both temporary and permanent) is the State Services reference and information portal. Through this service, the citizen enters the data of all necessary documents. After this, you need to wait for the papers to be verified in absentia and at the specified time come with the originals to a certain department of the Main Directorate for Migration and Migration.
After checking the data specified in the online application with the original documents, employees of the government agency issue a completed registration certificate.
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.
Cost and terms of registration
According to the approved Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, representatives of government services responsible for the registration of citizens must review the documents and issue the appropriate certificate within 3 working days. If any document is missing for good reasons, the process may take up to a week to verify additional data.
There are no government fees for registration at the place of residence or place of stay.
If a child does not have registration: consequences
If parents do not attend to the issue of registering their child temporarily within the time limits specified by law, they face administrative liability. IN
In Moscow and St. Petersburg, as cities of federal significance, the amount of the fine ranges from 3-5 thousand rubles, in the rest of the country - 2-3 thousand rubles.
The owner of the property who allows unregistered citizens to live in will also face punishment. In capital cities you will have to pay a fine of 5-7 thousand rubles, in other parts of the country - 2-5 thousand rubles.
Liability is also provided for in cases where a “fake” registration of a child at the place of residence is issued, for example, for a school. Thus, having registered someone for money without the intention of providing housing, the owner can be imprisoned for up to 3 years, sentenced to forced labor and pay an impressive fine (100-500 thousand rubles).
Registration of child benefits for temporary registration
As already mentioned, if it is not possible to register the child “permanently,” parents use a different type of registration of the child - at the place of stay. This gives access to all government services, including when applying for child benefits.
Many families who have temporary registration are worried about applying for child benefits. Doubts in this situation are absolutely groundless, because the issue of paying all types of state assistance to mothers does not depend on the urgency or indefiniteness of their registration, the main thing is that the woman has it.
Let us remind you that with both temporary and permanent registration, the mother has the right to the following types of benefits:
- for registration in the early stages of pregnancy;
- at the birth of a baby;
- until the child is one and a half years old.
These payments are also relevant for migrants permanently residing in Russia.
To receive benefits provided by law, you should contact the nearest social security authority.
