How to register a child in an apartment through government services 2021

Why is this necessary?

The process usually goes without much difficulty if parents are prepared for it in advance. At the same time, having registration in the future will make life much easier for the baby and the citizens responsible for him. This will make it possible:

obtain a compulsory medical insurance policy and count on medical services provided on a budgetary basis;
apply for benefits and other types of assistance in child social protection structures;
submit an application for the accrual of maternity capital;
enroll in kindergartens and other educational institutions;
issue a passport.
This is what a certificate of registration of a child at the place of residence looks like

Without registration, all of the above items will be unavailable for infants, and parents will not be able to obtain a certificate of family composition if necessary.

Is it possible to do without registration?

Many parents are concerned about this issue, because if the child is not registered in the place where he lives, he will not have to pay utilities for another family member. But this is a rather dubious way to save money because, firstly, if it is necessary to prepare urgent documents for a child in the future, parents may encounter difficulties and lose time. Secondly, there is a possibility of receiving punishment for non-compliance with legal norms from the state.

It is important to understand that a fine will be imposed not for lack of registration, but for the illegal residence of an unregistered person in the owner’s living space. Such a decision is made by employees of the migration department if the fact of illegal residence is established and proven.

What is the penalty for staying without registration?

You can learn more about the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 984 of December 31, 2007 on the procedure for registering citizens at the place of residence and place of stay here.

How long does it take to process

In general, a permissible period of 3 months is allotted for the preparation of relevant documents. If registration is not completed during this time, then when submitting an application later, you may need an explanatory note indicating the reason for the delay.

If the child is not registered after the allotted period and there are no compelling reasons for this, the state may take a punitive measure against his representatives, namely the obligation to pay a fine in the amount of up to 5,000 rubles.

During the registration period, which lasts up to several days, the parents’ passports are kept in the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is better to clarify the exact time frame when submitting your application.

The following video is about the timing of registration of newborns.

Where to apply

To apply for registration you can contact:

To the department of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the place of residence of the parents or one of them, if they live separately.
To the territorial MFC.
On the Internet through the official portal for the provision of government services.

Registration through multifunctional centers

Registration for a newborn at the MFC is a simple and convenient way to carry out the procedure without standing in long queues and encountering bureaucratic difficulties that may arise when contacting directly the department of the Main Department of Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The advantages of this option:

The organization works at convenient times.
Documents are submitted and collected in one window, there is no need to get confused in different offices in search of what you need.
Often, MFC centers have a more convenient location than government department branches.
You can seek advice and help from the center staff.

At the same time, the registration procedure itself is no different in both structures; data from the multifunctional center is sent to the migration service for registration, then the completed documents are returned to the filing department, where the applicant receives them. There is also no need to pay when applying through the MFC.

How to register at your place of residence through the State Services portal. Detailed instructions in the next video.

There are situations when online applications are rejected, based on the specified reasons, the applicant needs to either repeat the procedure or come to the department directly.

Features of registering a child through State Services

It is possible to use the State Services register for registration and deregistration issues. The portal provides the following services to users:

register for temporary stay;
change your registration through the State Services website - that is, the address at which a person is registered changes;
register a newborn;

This is a service that provides users with a number of services. With its help, you can both register and check out of your living space.

To apply for registration through the State Services portal, you must first submit an application. And for this you need the following list of official papers:

identification document (passport, driver's license, etc.);
if registration is issued for a child under 14 years of age, a birth certificate is provided;
documents that confirm ownership, or documents of hire.

Attention! If you change your residence address, you must change your registration within 7 days. If there is no new place of residence, you can extend the time to obtain registration to 3 months.

Soon after submitting an application, an invitation will be sent to the citizen’s personal account at State Services to visit the selected branch. In addition, the information will be sent to the mobile phone specified in the application or by email.

You must have the originals of the submitted documents with you. If there are several owners, they must all come and give written consent to temporary registration.

If everything is in order with the documents, if all formalities are completed, the applicant receives a temporary registration form indicating all the data and period of registration. According to information on State Services, the operation is completed within 3 business days.

When filling out an application for temporary registration at State Services, the applicant manually enters the start and end dates. You can find information online that the registration period should be between 1 month and 5 years, but the law says something completely different.

There are no restrictions; the owner himself decides for how long to register the tenant. But in fact, rarely does anyone do long-term temporary registration, since this is still somewhat dangerous from a legal point of view. For example, he can register a newborn.

Previously, all documents were prepared in specialized institutions, with inevitable queues, piles of papers and a lot of time. They were in different parts of the city and worked individually - each according to their own schedule. Modern technologies have simplified this process, allowing most services to be transferred to electronic format.

This approach ensured that queues were reduced to reasonable limits and the amount of paperwork was kept to a minimum. The portal was created to save personal time and facilitate the preparation of documentation for citizens who have problems with personal visits to institutions (disabled people, pensioners, workers who are unable to leave work, parents with small children, etc.).

For a short period

Temporary registration of a newborn can be carried out for a period not exceeding 3 years; it is not necessary to be discharged from the place where the child will live all the time. For example, there are situations when the place of permanent residence is in Moscow, and a family with a baby decides to leave for a long period to visit relatives, on a work trip, or for any other reason to St. Petersburg or another city in Russia.

There may also be a situation where parents are waiting for the apartment to be vacated by previous tenants or after renovation in order to move in. When temporarily registering a child, the parents or legal representative must also have any type of registration at the same address. Confirmation of this, together with the main list of documents, is provided to the territorial migration department.

It is still very advisable to complete this type of registration, even if it is not immediately necessary, because this way the child will be able to receive medical services if necessary or will be freely registered in kindergarten.

Certificate of registration of the child at the place of stay

Temporary registration is carried out a week in advance; if you have permanent registration in another region of the country, the period may increase due to data verification and waiting for a response to the relevant request.

How much does it cost to register a newborn at the place of registration?

Registration of an infant or adult child using the State Services portal is free; this resource is supported by the government. Expenses can only be associated with the preparation of documents necessary to register the baby. Material losses are possible if registration rules are violated.

If the child is not registered within 7 days after arrival or birth, the parents will be fined. Payment receipts are not presented to obtain registration. If there are good reasons why there was a delay, try to explain to representatives of the Federal Migration Service during reception hours or leave information on the website.

If you need to register a child with the citizenship of another country using the State Services portal, you will need to pay a state fee of 350 rubles. A receipt for payment must be presented upon receipt of registration documents.

Required documents for registration

One family member can submit documentation in full.

For an official marriage, you will need to collect the following documentary evidence:

civilian identity cards;
a certificate from the maternity ward, which will indicate all the information about the newly born baby, how much he weighs, how tall he is and other important information;
marriage confirmation from the registry office.

It is important that the family receives a certificate within the first month that the child has been born; for this, it is important to choose the baby’s name in advance, otherwise administrative punishment will most likely follow.

Birth certificate of a Russian citizen

The next step is to go to the passport office with the birth certificate you have already received. You will need to submit an application for registration of the child using Form N6. The form can be picked up at the branch itself, or you can download it here.

Originals and copies of the following documents are submitted with the application:

birth certificate;
civil identity card of representatives;
confirmation of marriage;
Based on the type of housing facility the child fits into, you will need:
an extract from the registration log, if registering in an apartment;
When registering in a private house, a house register is submitted, which is kept by the homeowner; he must provide it upon request to register a new person if the house is rented.
Certificate of personal account of the housing property from the place of future registration.
If the child receives registration at the father’s place of residence, then it is also necessary to submit confirmation that the mother does not disagree.

When the entire set of documents is provided, it remains with the department until the end of registration. If everything is prepared correctly and there are no difficulties, registration can be completed within a day, but on average the period is up to 7 days.

Sample application for registration at the place of residence of a newborn, form No. 6

When registering a newborn in a private home, an entry about this is made in the house register. And also directly during the submission of documents, parents can make an entry in the column about children in their civil passports.

Fitting the child in with the mother

In order for a father to register his offspring with him, he must either be in a marital union with his mother, or appear at the appropriate institution, namely the registry office, and put his signature on a document establishing the right to paternity. If he does not do this, then the mother must independently attend to the issue of registering the child with herself:

receives a birth certificate for his child;
fills out form No. 6;
brings:

Civil ID card with a copy.
Birth certificate with a copy.
An extract from the home registration journal or the journal itself.
If more than 30 days have passed since the birth of the child, you will also need an extract from the registration register at the address of residence of the baby's father.
A certificate showing the status of your personal housing account.
An extract about the living space or a document that will act as evidence of ownership. In situations where these papers are not available, any basis agreement can be provided. For example: purchase and sale, inheritance, social rent agreement in the case of municipal housing.

Registering a child at the mother's place of residence does not cause any difficulties.

Extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs confirming ownership of the apartment

At the registration address of only the father

Both parents must appear at the passport office to submit their own application. The father submits Form No. 6, the mother submits consent for the child’s registration with the father.
Along with the applications, the same documents are submitted as in the previous case, plus:

civil identity card from the second parent;
extract from the house register or house register;
If more than 30 days have passed since the birth of the child, an extract from the house register at the mother’s place of residence will also be required.

When you can’t register through the portal

It is impossible to register a child through the State Services portal in a number of cases:

When the birth of a child occurred outside of an institution.
If the spouses signed consent for the other woman to bear the child.
The fact of the birth of the child was not established.
The child was found or abandoned.
When the child has reached 18 years of age.
If the mother and father are not registered at the declared place of registration.

It will not be possible to register a child through the portal into a new home if the parents themselves are not yet registered there.

It’s even more difficult to be with him in stuffy rooms while waiting for your turn. The government service website also comes to the aid of young parents in this matter. You can start registering your child via the Internet and it is better not to delay this issue, since registration will be needed to obtain a medical insurance policy and to be placed on the waiting list for kindergarten or school (for older children). We would like to immediately remind you that you can register a child at the place of registration of the mother or father. If they are not even the owners of this apartment, then no consent is required.
