Features of registering a child on the State Services portal and linking to an account

Why register a child with State Services?

Due to their age, children cannot independently receive electronic government services using the federal portal. Their parents do it for them.

After a child turns 14, not all government services are available to adults from their account. For example, making an appointment with a doctor or at a kindergarten, hobby group, school, or working with an electronic diary is possible using the parent’s personal account, regardless of any conditions. Children over 14 years old can even apply for a foreign passport themselves. A minor will not be able to obtain ownership of real estate or perform certain other actions in this way. To do this, he must have his own account.

Important. Another advantage of a separate profile is the lack of confusion. After all, if you request services for both an adult and a child from one account, it is very easy to make a mistake.

Services for children

The Unified Portal provides many state and municipal services for minors:

Placement in kindergarten.
Enrollment in a comprehensive school.
Application for visiting clubs and sections.
Registration of international passports for children.
Registration of a minor at the place of residence.
Obtaining a birth certificate.
Submitting an application for child support benefits.
Registration at the clinic.
Registration of the fact of adoption.
Using an electronic student diary.

Just like for an adult, it is necessary to register a child on the State Services portal in order to gain access to its functionality.

From what age is it permissible to use the portal?

At what age can you register on the State Services portal is determined in the rules of its use. They can be found on the website.

A minor has the right to register a full-fledged account on State Services after reaching the age of limited legal capacity. In accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code, this occurs at the age of 14. It is at this age that a citizen acquires the right to make certain transactions and perform certain legally significant actions independently, without taking into account the opinions of parents or guardians.

For children under 14 years of age, a simplified entry can be created. However, for full use it must be attached to an adult account. Thus, the rules of the portal clearly state at what age you can register on the State Services website: from any age. But a minor will not be able to fully use the service.

Account for a child under 14 years old

It is not possible to create a verified account for a minor under 14 years of age. The rules for using the portal do not provide for this.

However, such persons can still receive government services. Only they do this not using their own verified account, but:

using the profile of parents or other legal representatives (for example, guardians, trustees);
through a simplified account.

Such a rule was established based on the principles set out in the current civil legislation.

Thus, the procedure for registering a child under 14 years of age on the State Services website is provided. However, creating a full-fledged account for a child remains impossible.

log in to the site;
click on your last name, which is located in the upper right corner and go to your account;
click on the “Personal Information” tab;
click “Show all data”;

Adding information about the child in your personal account

To add a child to State Services, you will need to perform a number of simple manipulations that will open up opportunities for you to unlimitedly enjoy all the benefits of the site as a parent.

general information: full name, gender, date of birth, insurance certificate, TIN;
birth certificate (when adding a series of metrics, you should write using English letters instead of Roman numerals, and we write the letters in Russian);
compulsory medical insurance policy.

The saved information will be added automatically to all applications that require information about minor children.

Possible problems

Difficulties usually arise when linking a child's profile to a parent's record. They are associated with incorrect indication of information from the birth certificate. It is by his number that the system identifies the child as an adult user. The information must:

match the accounts of an adult and a child;
be similar to those indicated on the paper version of the document.

There may also be technical difficulties. It is impossible to overcome them on your own.

To do this, you need to contact the site support service. This is done in two ways:

by writing a message in the online chat on the portal;
by calling the hotline.

Note. Also, if problems arise, you can contact the MFC. Its employees will contact the technical support service of the State Services and help in solving difficulties that arose when using the portal.

How to enroll your child in kindergarten

You can register your child for kindergarten in 2021 by contacting the MFC in person, or you can also use the online application form on the State Services portal. You can send a request for a so-called kindergarten voucher immediately after the minor’s birth certificate is issued.

How to enter the State Services portal via SNILS

The parent, using the functions of his personal account, selects a service from the list on the portal for enrolling children in a preschool institution. In the “service passport” tab, you can familiarize yourself in detail with the procedure for provision, deadlines, required documents and other necessary information on a specific legal action.

By clicking on the button with the selected service, an application form appears in the information window, in which the user must correctly enter all the information:

Parent's personal information.
Information from the passport.

It is only important to check in the history of the ordered services whether the request was canceled, otherwise the system may fail.

Conclusion

Children, like adults, have the right to create an account on the State Services website. In general, the procedure is no different from registering an adult citizen. The rules of the portal establish at what age you can register for State Services - from birth. But the recording functionality will differ for children of different ages. Minors who have not reached the age of fourteen are entitled only to a simplified profile. To fully use it, it must be linked to a parent or guardian's record. Older children (14 years and older) can have a standard confirmed account, but some services (for example, related to real estate registration) are not available from this account.
