regionIn accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, every citizen is required to be registered at his place of residence. This procedure is mandatory for every person living in Russia.
This law even applies to newborns. The fact of registration provides the right to receive various social assistance and allows you to take part in the life of society.
It will allow:
- register with the clinic;
- receive a state-guaranteed benefit after the birth of a baby;
- will allow you to queue for kindergarten;
- in case of the birth of a second child, receive maternity capital.
Thus, the need for permanent residence is obvious in order for the newborn to become a full member of society.
Why is it necessary to register a child at the place of residence?
Firstly, this is necessary to receive all types of social services, such as:
- Providing a place in kindergarten;
- Providing medical care;
- Providing a place in a school educational institution, etc.
Secondly, since all relatives registered in one apartment are, from a legal point of view, a family, the registration of a new member may cause a deterioration in living conditions and entail the right to improve them.
However, if government authorities consider that the registration was carried out intentionally, and not due to the lack of other premises for the registration of the child, then the application for improvement of living conditions may be rejected. Thirdly , when parents divorce, it matters in the living area of which of the spouses the child was registered. But this is not the main indicator, since first of all the parents’ place of study/work and their characteristics are also checked.
Administrative punishment
For failure to comply with the time frame for registering children, the legal representatives of the child may be subject to administrative liability in the form of penalties of 2,000 - 5,000 rubles.
It is also considered illegal to refuse to register a child who has not reached the age of majority for the purpose of registration by representatives of the registration authorities. For example, rent arrears and small housing meters are not an obstacle. If any disputes arise, contact a higher authority or the court.

When must a child be registered at his place of residence?
The law does not establish a separate deadline for registration.
In this regard, the general deadline should be observed: 7 days - this is the period within which parents are required to submit documents for permanent registration; 3 months - within this period parents are required to submit documents for temporary registration.
However, it is worth noting that government agencies are often loyal to the facts of registration after the deadline established by the state. Due to the fact that parents need to obtain a lot of paperwork, especially when registering a newborn. However, you should not abuse it and, in order to avoid receiving an administrative fine, carry out the registration procedure later than the deadline.
Production time
According to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation 713 of July 17, 1995, parents are required to register a newborn no later than 7 days from the date of issuance of the birth certificate at the Civil Registry Office.
The child’s lack fine , as well as a number of difficulties:
- Difficulties when registering a child at a clinic , because... Without registration it is impossible to obtain a health insurance policy; accordingly, the child loses the right to receive free medical support;
- If a child does not have a registration, it is impossible to apply for funds from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation for the birth of a second child as part of the program to increase the birth rate;
- Lack of registration is the reason for refusal to admit a child to a preschool institution .
Attention! For the lack of registration of a newborn, parents can be fined in the amount of 2 to 5 thousand rubles (Article 19.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation)

How to register a child if the parents are registered in different places?
Parents can register a new family member at the place of registration of both the father and mother. Neither the address of residence, nor the size of the living space, nor its condition matter.
The place of registration is a personal decision of the parents.
However, a mandatory condition is the presence of permission to register a new family member at the place of registration of one of the spouses, the second spouse. Otherwise, it will be refused.
Permission to register both one of the parents and the owner of the premises (if the parents live in the living space under a rental agreement) can be drawn up in advance and certified by a notary. In this case, registration of a new family member at the place of residence is possible without the presence of these persons.
How to register a child at the mother’s place of residence?
Spouses or parents of the child (if they are divorced) need to contact the department of the Federal Migration Service at the place of residence of the person in whose residential premises the child is planned to be registered.
The father must assure in writing the government authorities that he allows the mother to register the child in the premises where she is the owner or lives on the basis of a rental agreement.
How to register a child at the father's place of residence?
The mother must assure in writing the government authorities that she allows the father to register the minor in the residential premises in which he is the owner or lives in accordance with the rental agreement.
If no consensus was reached between the spouses. One of them is against registering a minor in the residential premises where the second is registered, then each of the spouses submits an application to the FMS department with a request to register the minor in his residential premises.
State authorities, in this case, will take into account the actual place of residence of the minor, as well as the court decision - which of the spouses was entrusted with the right to raise the child.
Is it possible to register a child at the place of residence of grandparents?
It is possible to register a minor at the place of residence of his relatives, including grandparents, sisters, brothers, etc., only if one of the child’s parents is registered there. Otherwise, registration will be denied, even if the parent actually lives there but is not registered.
However, parents have the right to register children over 14 years of age with 3 relatives, even if they are not personally registered at this address.
But in view of the fact that registration of a minor in the premises may entail the receipt by its owners of the right to improve living conditions. If the parents have a different living space, government agencies may regard this fact as a deliberate deterioration of living conditions and deny benefits.
Required Documentation
To carry out the procedure in question you will need:
- A document by which the child’s identity is verified. When we are talking about a child under the age of fourteen, this will be an act confirming his birth. If he has reached the specified age, then this will be a passport. In a situation where a fourteen-year-old child does not have such a document, the registration process will be impossible. This will not be affected by the presence of the last above-mentioned birth certificate. It is also worth saying that the presence of a foreign passport for a minor will not affect the registration process in any way.
- An application indicating a request to register the minor at his place of residence. Until the child reaches the age of fourteen, such a statement must be written by his representatives, who are established by law.
- A document that certifies the identity of the parent of a minor, and also reflects his registration at this address.
- In some cases, the consent of the other parent will be required for registration.
Having collected the above papers, you should contact the service in charge of migration issues, and at the end of the established waiting period you will be able to receive a document that reflects the child’s registration. When you receive the document, look to see if this mark is in your passport.
What to do if parents only have temporary registration?
Parents have the right to register a minor in a residential building where they have temporary registration, even without the consent of the owner of the premises. To do this, a general package of documents is submitted to government agencies.
However, the owner will be required to appear at the Federal Migration Service and certify with his signature the application for temporary registration of a minor in the premises. Otherwise. Registration of a child in the premises may be refused.
Temporary registration does not carry with it any property rights for the people living in the premises, except for the opportunity to use the entrusted property - for the owner who officially registers the tenants, this condition is not a problem.
But there are also cases when the owner does not want to certify the application for registration of a child in the premises. In this case, the rental agreement will have to be terminated, since renting out the premises is illegal due to the fact that one of the family members is not registered in it. Temporary registration of parents in the premises ends along with the term of termination of the contract if the owner contacts the Federal Migration Service.
Permission to register a minor in residential premises can be drawn up in advance and certified by a notary. In this case, it is possible to carry out registration without his presence.
A rather contradictory situation is emerging in which, on the one hand, the owner does not have the right to prohibit the registration of a minor at the place of registration of his parents, albeit temporarily, and, on the other hand, he may become the reason for the refusal of registration. In general, the law is on the side of the owner, but if he does not want to break the contract with the tenants, then the fact of actual residence of an unregistered citizen on the territory of his living space entails the imposition of an administrative fine, since it is an administrative offense.
In this regard, if the owner of the living space deliberately does not allow parents to temporarily register their child in the territory where they live under temporary registration, then you should contact the district police officer.
What documents are provided in originals and are photocopies needed?
Many people are concerned about the question of what papers must be provided in order to register, and most importantly, whether they need to be photocopied.
Actually, this question is very simple to answer. You must make two photocopies of documents that prove your identity.
Be sure to provide a double copy of the documents that indicate an extract from the house register, as well as consent. If desired, make copies of all papers, and the passport office employee will take certain documents from you at his discretion.
Responsibility for a child’s lack of registration
Established by the Administrative Procedure Code. If, within the period established by the Investigative Committee, the registration of the minor in the residential premises at the place of registration of the parents was not carried out, then a protocol on an administrative offense is issued against the parents. Administrative punishment is a fine in the amount of 2-2.5 thousand rubles.
Registration of a minor at the place of residence is not just a formality, it is an opportunity to provide him with the necessary benefits and available benefits - places in schools and kindergartens are provided precisely on the basis of a document confirming the fact that the minor is registered in a residential area.
Also, a family can take advantage of the opportunity to improve their living conditions by registering a minor in residential premises. But you shouldn’t think that by registering all the children and their parents in one apartment, you can qualify for a new one. State authorities will take into account the availability of other living space for the parents of a minor child, as well as the fact of their registration in the premises where he is registered. In this regard, it is necessary to competently approach the fact of registering a minor in residential premises in accordance with the provisions of the law.
Registration result
As a result of registration, a young Russian receives a certificate indicating the address of his permanent or temporary residence. This document is issued to persons under 14 years of age. Those who already have their own passport receive a corresponding stamp in their identification document.
It is important to note that until 2008, proof of registration of children was a house register or apartment card, in which information of this order was entered. With the adoption of these changes, a certificate of registration at the child’s place of residence began to be issued.
Thus, if your baby was registered before the specified year, there is no need to apply for a certificate. The house register will continue to be proof of his registration.
