Many bureaucratic procedures are carried out with the aim of further providing supporting documents to government agencies. Paper proving the fact of a person’s residence in a certain living space may be required in a variety of situations. But, if the citizen is not yet 14 years old, the certificate is issued taking into account certain features.
Placing a newborn on reguchet is as obligatory as for an adult. The possibility of obtaining all other documents for the baby will depend on this. Thus, the social rights of the small citizen are protected, since he has not yet been issued a passport. The baby's parents are responsible for performing this procedure.
Over the past few years, the process has become significantly easier. Now all documents for registration can be submitted through a single portal of public services online. This will significantly save the applicant’s time and effort. You only need to enter the necessary information and indicate the department of the Federal Migration Service (or MFC) where it is preferable to receive the finished document.
How to change your registration through State Services: step-by-step instructions
The service is free and available to any citizen.
To change your registration, you do not have to specially check out of your apartment. When you submit your application, you will be automatically discharged from your previous place of residence. But if you have already been registered at your old address, an application for registration at a new place must be submitted within seven days, otherwise you will have to pay a fine of 2,000 to 5,000 rubles, depending on the region. There are permanent and temporary registration.
Temporary - gives its owner the right to live in the premises with the permission of the owner. The length of stay is determined in advance, but it must be at least 90 days. When registering temporarily, you do not need to deregister at your permanent place of residence.
Permanent is a stamp in the passport confirming that a citizen can live in an apartment, participate in its privatization, and register other people, including minor children.
We will consider in detail the procedure for changing permanent registration.
Reasons for refusal to issue
According to the law, in order to register a child according to the place of residence of the parents, there are no grounds for refusal.
At the same time, registration must be carried out even in an apartment in which many people live, regardless of the fact that the living space belongs to it. Debt to pay for housing and communal services also cannot serve as an obstacle.
If migration service employees refuse to issue this certificate, you must request the refusal in writing, and then send a complaint to the prosecutor's office or other higher authorities.
In fact, the only reason for refusal is the parents’ lack of documents or registration, because a child under 14 years of age can only register with one of the parents.
What is certificate form number 8
Form No. 8 is a certificate of registration at the child’s place of residence. This document is one of the most important for citizens under 14 years of age, and essentially replaces their passport. Based on the certificate, the child will be provided with guaranteed government services and benefits (the school will require it!).
The corresponding certificate is mandatory for all children who were born in territory under the jurisdiction of the Russian government and were entitled to Russian citizenship at birth. Without registration, it will be impossible or extremely difficult to obtain most of the guaranteed services. Therefore, you will have to deal with such a procedure as document restoration.
- the baby and his parents move to another region of the country;
- receiving social benefits;
- during registration, if the parents purchased a new apartment or house;
- receiving medical care at a local clinic;
- upon admission to kindergarten or educational institutions;
- if necessary, obtain a certificate for maternity capital;
- parents during divorce, if there are children.
Only persons who have confirmation of guardianship, parents or representatives with the appropriate power of attorney can count on receiving Form No. 8. A person must also have documents with him, a list of which can be found below. If parents live separately, they may ask for confirmation of the absence of registration at a different address.
Why is it necessary?
This document is absolutely necessary in a situation where young Russians have a child. This document will be a consequence of the fact that the parents have registered the newborn at their place of residence.
Without this document, Russian migration services have every right to impose administrative liability and a fine on such citizens.
In general, the most important thing for parents is to meet the deadlines for completing this document. In practice, obtaining certificate No. 8 does not take much time - it takes no more than 1-2 weeks.
It is imperative to provide a complete package of documents so that the newborn is registered in accordance with all the rules, and as a result, certificate No. 8 is completed correctly and accurately.
Service cost
Since 2005, the registration procedure has been carried out completely free of charge, without paying any fees. However, such a statement is true in cases where the child has Russian citizenship. Otherwise, a fee of 350 rubles will be charged.
If the registration deadlines specified in the legislation are not met, a fine of 2,500 rubles may be imposed on parents. It is important to take into account that when a child is registered in municipal housing, he is automatically allocated a share of the premises on an equal basis with other persons registered there. Privatized housing does not provide for such an opportunity and only allows the child to live on the territory of such an apartment.

Certificate of registration of a child at the place of residence - where and how to obtain form #8?
- passport and copy (the document must have a registration stamp);
- birth certificate and copy;
- any document that confirms ownership of real estate (for example, an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate);
- if documents are submitted by an authorized person, then a power of attorney certified by a notary.
MFC Multifunctional centers operate in most major cities of Russia. They provide the same services as the FMS. Registration at the MFC branch is faster than at the passport office.
MFC employees take information from the state database, so there is no need to collect documents.

How to restore a child’s registration through State Services?
Hello Tamara! Please clarify what you mean by the word “registration” - registration at the place of stay or registration at the place of residence, and also under what circumstances was the “registration” lost?
We would like to clarify that “registration” is correctly called “registration at the place of residence.” According to clause 2 of Article 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the place of residence of minors under fourteen years of age is recognized as the place of residence of their legal representatives - parents, adoptive parents or guardians. In accordance with clause 1 of Article 70 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation, the consent of the remaining members of the tenant’s family and the consent of the landlord are not required for the parents to move in their minor children. In relation to residential premises owned by citizens, such a rule is not provided for by housing legislation.
According to clause 114 of the Administrative Regulations for the provision by the Federal Migration Service of state services for registration of citizens of the Russian Federation at the place of stay and place of residence within the Russian Federation, approved by Order of the Federal Migration Service of Russia dated September 11, 2012 N 288, registration at the place of residence of minor citizens who have not reached 14 years of age and living with their parents (adoptive parents, guardians), is carried out on the basis of identity documents of the parents (adoptive parents), or documents confirming the establishment of guardianship, and the birth certificate of these minors with the written consent of their legal representatives (one of them ). This registration is carried out with the issuance of a certificate of registration at the place of residence of the form (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations).
Currently, the Federal Migration Service of Russia has been abolished, and its functions and powers have been transferred to the Main Directorate for Migration Issues of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. In accordance with paragraphs 115,117 of the said Regulations, the consent of the owner, members of his family, landlord, or tenant is not required for the registration of minors. The procedure for registering minors at the place of residence is determined by the Rules for registration and deregistration of citizens of the Russian Federation at the place of stay and at the place of residence within the Russian Federation, approved by Government Decree No. 713 of July 17, 1995 (hereinafter referred to as the Registration Rules). Documents on registration of a minor at the place of residence are submitted to the registration authority directly, either through the MFC, or through the State Services portal. As a general rule, a citizen, in accordance with clause 16 of these Rules, for registration at the place of residence provides: - an identification document; - application in the established form for registration at the place of residence; - a document that, in accordance with the housing legislation of the Russian Federation, is the basis for moving into a residential premises. In relation to the registration of minors in the residential premises where the parents live, the basis is the registration of the parents at the place of residence in the specified premises, therefore the provision of a basis document is not required.
In general, cases of failure or problems are divided into three categories, each of which we will now examine in detail:
- In some situations, one of the homeowners opposes the registration of another person at the place of residence, in our case a minor. Registration is refused if this owner is the only one and he is not the legal representative of the child. In other words, the parents do not have their own property or at least a share in it.
To obtain a certificate of registration of a child, Form 8, you need to apply for registration at the place of residence to the territorial office of the Federal Migration Service, or through the MFC or the State Services portal.
In any case, when receiving the document from the civil registry office, you must present: - a passport, - a receipt for payment of the state fee: for issuing a repeated certificate - 350 rubles, for issuing an archival certificate - 200 rubles.
Nuances of registering a newborn
There are several nuances for carrying out the procedure for adjusting a newborn. These include:
- The deadlines for registration of a newborn in the Russian Federation are not established at the legislative level, that is, there is no administrative responsibility.
- Only one parent can be present when registering a newborn. This rule also applies if the mother and father have not entered into a marriage union. An exception is the situation when a child is registered with his father in the absence of a registered marriage between the parents.
- The mother and father independently decide where their child will be registered. If the parents are registered at different addresses, then when registering the baby at the father’s place of registration, the mother’s consent document must be attached. If a child is registered together with his mother, then the father's consent is not necessary.
- If a newborn is placed on a newborn for the first time, this action does not need to be coordinated with the owner of the apartment. During subsequent extracts and registrations, the owner's opinion will be taken into account.
- A newborn will be registered even if, in accordance with the standards of residential premises, it is determined that the available square meters are not enough.
Receipt procedure
The legislation of the Russian Federation establishes the obligation of legal representatives to register a minor at their place of residence. After receiving a child’s birth certificate, a certificate of registration at the place of residence should be in second place in terms of importance of paperwork.
Obtaining a registration certificate does not require any impossible actions on the part of parents. It is enough to visit the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the MFC, submit the necessary documents (read above) for consideration by the authorized body, find out the date and time of issue of the completed certificate and pick it up.
When registering a document through the MFC, the applicant has the opportunity to track the status of the request using a special unique registration number, which is issued when the documents are transferred to the center’s specialist.

Timing and cost
After specialists accept the documents, they will need about a week to verify this information.
After this period, parents will be able to receive a certificate, along with the original documents that were previously submitted.
While the document processing procedure is being carried out, parents will use temporary identity cards.
It is worth remembering that registration of registration according to the place of residence for Russian citizens is a free service, and therefore no state fee will have to be paid to obtain the certificate.
Types of child registration certificates
The registration certificate is an officially approved document issued on A5 format. For persons aged 0 to 14 years, it is an identity document, along with a child’s birth certificate.
There are two types of registration forms:
- Form No. 8 – on the registration of the child at the place of permanent residence;
- Form No. 3 – temporary registration at the current location.
Each document is issued in a single copy, transferred for safekeeping against signature to the child’s legal representative and presented at the request of the competent authorities or as necessary. Each certificate of registration of a child has its own registration number, which corresponds to the data entered into the general information database of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The validity period of Form 8 for registration depends on the type of document:
- A certificate of registration of a child at the place of permanent residence is valid until the teenager reaches 14 years of age and receives a passport, where it will be necessary to put a mark on permanent registration at the place of residence.
- The certificate of temporary registration has a limited validity period from 1 to 36 months. The validity period of the documents is determined by the package of documents provided by the parents during registration (tenancy agreement, owner’s permission for temporary registration, etc.). After the deadline has passed, the certificate automatically ceases to be valid and is declared annulled.
Parents or other legal representatives can obtain a certificate of place of registration at several government agencies:
- through the Gosuslugi website;
- territorial branch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
- in the multifunctional center.
In addition to parents and guardians, a certificate in Form No. 8 can also be issued by the owners of the property where the minor child is registered. To do this, they need to provide documents confirming ownership of the capital property or part of it.
Types of state registration certificates
There are several different established forms that confirm that the child has been placed on reguchet. They are divided depending on the type of registration:
- No. 3 – on temporary state registration at the place of stay;
- No. 8 – about permanent registration;
- No. 9 – on the registration of all persons who live at a specific address.
Form 9 contains a list of all persons who are currently registered in a specific residential area (apartments, houses, etc.). The remaining two forms are certificates of registration. They are special types of documents that are issued to a citizen. He can keep them with him (as well as a passport, INN, SNILS) and present them if the need arises.
Help: Sometimes it is necessary to find out who lived at a certain address in the past. In such a situation, an archived version of the state certificate is requested, but, as a rule, it is not required for children.
About form No. 8
Many people ask about a state certificate for a child in Form 8 - what it is and where to get it. This type of document is issued to minors until they reach the age of 14. The request is made by their parents if it is necessary to submit the form to the government agency. State certificate No. 8 is issued to a child with permanent registration as a result of:
- his birth;
- purchase of new housing by parents;
- moving to a new address.
Certificate form 8 about the child’s registration
If a child was born out of wedlock and the latter is not listed in the “father” column on the birth certificate, then only the mother needs a passport;
- marriage and birth certificates;
- certificate of ownership of residential premises;
- power of attorney, if the certificate is issued through a third party.
Additionally you may request:
- a certificate from the second parent, whose registration is different from the place of desired registration of the minor, stating that the latter is not registered with him;
- extract from the house register;
- personal account statement.
Sample, form Certificate in Form No. 8 looks a certain way, defined at the legislative level, regardless of the body or organization that issued it. A sample of it can be seen in the photo below.

When choosing a certificate, we additionally enter its series, number, who issued it and when. On the above sample, I highlighted the necessary points.

Sometimes they may send a message that the service has been suspended for some reason. There is no need to panic, because you can still come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the appointed time and your service will be resumed. It was the same for me.
Along with the completed application, the parent/guardian submits originals and copies of: 1) the child’s birth certificate; 2) passports of both parents or guardian; 3) an act of guardianship when the guardian submits an application. Documents on ownership of the apartment are not required. This is stated in paragraph 50 of Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs N 984.
How to make an appointment through the portal
A detailed procedure and list of documents can be found at the link above. All applications will need to be completed independently using the forms provided.
How to get
The document in question has a validity period of no more than one month, although this period is not fixed anywhere at the legislative level. Government agencies installed it unofficially.

- local passport office;
- Multifunctional Center.
The specialist responsible for processing and issuing the certificate is obliged to check all the data provided by the applicant against a single database. Only after this the application will be accepted for processing.
You can also request paper by mail by sending an application with all required papers attached. After their consideration, the requested certificate will be sent to the citizen at the specified address. But this option will require much more time than personally contacting a government agency.
What documents are needed to register a newborn?
- an application from one of the parents or adoptive parents in the prescribed form;

- consent to register the child from the second parent;
- an extract from the personal account of the apartment of the second parent to confirm that the child is not registered there;

If the registration authority can request certificates and other information as part of interdepartmental interaction, then, as a rule, others are not required from the applicant. In any case, the exact list of documents must be obtained from the registration authority.

- Save time. The applicant will not have to stand in line to use the service
- Fewer documents are required. FMS employees will receive most of the information about the applicant from databases
- Access to public services is simplified. Both disabled people and people who spend most of their time at work or traveling will be able to apply for it.
The applicant will not have to stand in line to use the service.
The only downside is the three-day waiting period, which exceeds the verification time for personal application.
Who can apply
According to the law of the Russian Federation, not every Russian citizen can obtain certificate 8 of registration at the child’s place of residence.
In addition to parents, these may be the following persons included in the list of legal representatives:
- Guardians of a newborn. This includes adoptive parents, but only after the adoption procedure is completed, and guardians.
- Third parties who have a power of attorney with a notary seal from their legal representatives. This is convenient if the baby’s parents are in another city or country.
Note! The person who has the power of attorney has the right to receive the same services as the parents, but only if this is provided for in the document. Therefore, in the process of drawing up a power of attorney with a notary, the powers of the third party should be clearly defined.
When it might come in handy
At the state level, there is a whole list of free services for minors and their parents. But to obtain them, you will need proof that the child is officially registered in a certain living space, which can be confirmed using the F-8 certificate.
- Registration at a medical institution. To receive free medical care, you will need to be attached to a clinic at your place of residence or stay, providing certificate No. 8. Based on it, a compulsory medical insurance policy is issued, after which you can register as a patient.
- Registration of a minor in preschool education institutions.
- Registration of various types of child benefits. For example, maternity capital to the mother’s bank card. If an employee of state social security institutions finds out that the mother belongs to the category of unemployed, he may request a certificate of registration of the child.
- When registering at school. In this case, the type of educational institution does not matter (public, private). You can enroll in the chosen school only in the place where the little citizen is registered.
