Registration of a newborn child - list of documents and procedure in 2021

After the birth of the baby, it is necessary to resolve the issue of his registration at the place of future residence. This right of a young citizen of the Russian Federation is enshrined at the legislative level - Article 20, paragraph 2 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Timely registration of the newborn is carried out by parents or guardians. There are no significant changes in this procedure in 2021. Therefore, we can consider a standard scheme for registering a newborn.

1.What is registration and what rights does it give?

The word “registration” excites the minds of not only parents, but also everyone who has had to deal with buying apartments or moving to another city. What kind of magical piece of paper is this, what dangers and benefits does it contain, and is it possible to lose your apartment if you register in the wrong place? Let's figure it out. In fact, everything is simpler than it seems.

The legal significance of registration and what rights to an apartment it gives. History of the concept and meaning of registration in 2021. (Click to expand text).

The word “registration” is familiar to every Russian. However, few people know that the term “propiska” is a relic of Soviet times, and there has been no such concept in the legislation of the Russian Federation for a long time. And there is registration - permanent and temporary. Let's figure out what the difference is and what the point is in all these bureaucratic manipulations.

In the Soviet Union, no one personally owned housing. All real estate belonged to the state, which granted citizens the right to live in it. The right to be in a particular apartment was given by “registration” - paper permission from the state to live at a particular address. That is, during the Soviet Union, this piece of paper was the only document granting the right to this or that housing. Popular misconceptions and horror stories about the dangers of registration (“register her with you, and then she will take your apartment away!”) are still popular today and have their roots in the Soviet past. In fact, almost all of them are groundless and here's why:

After the collapse of the USSR, such a concept as private property appeared in Russia. Now citizens can own apartments - that is, manage them completely as their own property. The right to ownership is acquired upon purchase or privatization of an apartment and is confirmed by completely different documents that have nothing to do with registration. The owner can do whatever he wants with his apartment (rent, sell, etc.).

And he (and not the state, as before) can register, that is, give permission to live, to other people in his apartment. Please note: the owner can either register or discharge any tenant at his discretion.

Registration (renamed “registration at the place of residence”) remained a document that gives its owner the only right: to live in the apartment in which he is registered.

Registration at the place of residence gives the right only to reside at the place of registration. Non-owners registered in it cannot have any property claims to the apartment.

However, in addition to securing the right to residence, registration at the place of residence performs a number of functions:

Firstly, registration is required by law. Every citizen must register with the Federal Migration Service at the place of his permanent residence (parents register children). This is necessary for demographic and legal control over the population. Staying on Russian territory without registration is subject to a fine;
Many free social services are based on territoriality and are provided at the place of registration. These include: a clinic (and receiving baby food at the site),
kindergarten and school,
receiving cash benefits after childbirth.

And although in Russia the strictness of the implementation of laws is uneven and varies greatly not only between cities, but also between individual districts of the same city, the chance of being denied any service without this document is very high.

Registration can be permanent (without expiration date) or temporary. In common parlance, the first is called “registration”, and the second – “registration”.

You need to understand that there is no difference between permanent and temporary registrations. They differ only in terms of validity, but give their holders exactly the same rights.

Now that we have looked at the legal basis of registration at the place of residence, let's move on to their practical application.

What device should be used to collect urine from a child?

Naturally, urine should be collected in some sterile container. The following containers are suitable:

special medical urinal;
plastic container or glass jar;
new plastic bag.

Whatever container you choose, it is important that it is clean or sterile. So, if this is a medical container or urinal, they must be new and opened only before collecting the analysis. If it is a glass jar, then it must first be boiled. And if you use a package, it must be new, never used.

Does a newborn child need registration?

If you read the previous paragraph, then you already know why a child needs a registration:

firstly, so as not to be a small illegal immigrant (after all, it is required by law to register at the place of residence)
secondly, registration at the place of residence is needed to obtain a health insurance policy, a foreign passport, and enroll in kindergarten and school.
thirdly, parents need to register a newborn child in order to receive cash benefits for the child. Many regions have their own budget, from which they make additional payments in addition to those paid from the national budget. To receive a regional supplement, you must be registered in that region.

We issue a birth certificate

Birth certificate

- certificate of state registration of a civil status act - the fact of the birth of a child. This document contains information about the child's name, date of birth, and the names of his parents.

A birth certificate is obtained from the civil registry office at the place of residence. To obtain a certificate, you will need to provide the following documents: a certificate from the maternity hospital where the child was born, parents’ passports, a marriage certificate.

You can get a birth certificate quite quickly , it won’t take much time. Together with it, you will be given Certificate No. 24, which is necessary for the payment of a number of benefits.

Married couples can obtain a certificate without the presence of the other parent. In the case when they are not scheduled, the presence of both is necessary. If the baby has only a mother, she will have the status of a single mother, and in the paternity column there will be no information about the father.

Parents must receive the document no later than 30 days after the birth of the child.

Registration dates for a newborn.

According to the law, a newborn must be registered within 7 days from the date of receipt of the birth certificate . If you have moved, you must also re-register your child within 7 days. Failure to register a newborn will result in a fine of 3.5 thousand rubles (according to Article 19.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). It is most convenient to register a child at the same time as registering a birth certificate at the MFC.

How to help a baby pee?

If you have prepared everything for collecting the analysis, but the child does not want to go to the toilet, you can stimulate his desire to urinate:

The sound of pouring liquid can speed up the approach of this act - turn on the water in the bathroom or pour it from glass to glass;
Most often, the process of urination occurs when the baby eats - feed him or give him water to drink
You can also gently stroke the tummy in the area of the bladder above the pubis.

It is unacceptable to force a child to freeze or put him on wet sheets to stimulate urination - in this case, you will only harm the health of your baby, and cause inflammation of the internal genital organs in the girl.

Where can a newborn be registered?

The choice of places to register a child is very limited. By law, a child under 14 years of age can only be registered with one of the parents. Therefore, it will not be possible to register a newborn “with the grandmother” separately from the parents. However, this essentially ends the restrictions on registering a newborn. Apart from the clause “with one of the parents,” minor children are in a special position in the law. To register a newborn in an apartment, no one’s consent is needed: neither the owners nor others registered in the apartment. (clause 2 of article 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). Moreover, it makes no difference whether the parents are officially married, in a civil marriage or divorced.

So, let's take a closer look at each possible situation.

If the parents are registered in their own apartment:

The most convenient and simple situation. Just register your child with you. The child receives indefinite registration. It does not matter whether the parents are registered together or separately. A newborn can be registered in the mother’s apartment or in the father’s apartment with equal success.

If the parents have permanent/temporary registration in an apartment in which they are not the owners.

In fact, the situation is not much different from the one when parents are registered in their own apartment. The only difference is that the registration period for the child will coincide with the registration period for the parents (i.e. if the parents have registration for 1 year, then the child will also have registration for 1 year). You can simply, without asking anyone (even the owner of the apartment), take the documents for registration of a newborn to the MFC or passport office, and the child will be registered.

If parents have both permanent and temporary registration.

It is not uncommon for parents to be registered in one city, but live for a long time in another, having temporary registration there. In this case, two options are possible: - you can give the newborn only temporary registration at the place of stay - you can give the newborn both permanent and temporary registration.

If parents do not have registration.

This is bad
