MFC
According to the order of the FMS, you can obtain a certificate of permanent registration in Moscow or other large cities by visiting the nearest branch of a multifunctional center.

Having submitted the documents, the citizen receives a request registration number, thanks to which he can monitor the process of document preparation online.
Is it possible to get a certificate by submitting papers online?
It is not possible to submit an application for a registration certificate through the State Services website, due to the peculiarities of document preparation, which requires a personal application to the Federal Migration Service, the provision of original documents, and the signature of an official representative.
Using the website, you can schedule a day and time to visit the MFC, as well as receive a certificate about the current status of the ordered service.
Why do you need registration?
- To confirm the rights of the child as a citizen of the Russian Federation. Now he can use all social services on an equal basis with others;

All papers are submitted to the passport office at your place of registration, and a week later you receive your passport and your child’s birth certificate, which will have a registration stamp.
If more than a month has passed since the birth, then two more papers will be required from the father or mother. Do not delay the paperwork, but also call the information department of your passport office and find out exactly what papers are needed in your case .

For registration you need:
- statement;

The list is almost the same for temporary and permanent registration of a child. The only difference is that for permanent registration, which is carried out simultaneously with the registration of parents, you will also need title documents for housing.
Parents must register their newborn within a month and one week from the moment of his birth. Otherwise, a fine of 2,000 rubles will be imposed. Children under 14 years of age are registered only with their father or mother.
Personal documents of parents and child

Extract from the house register
This document was previously required by the regulatory authorities to verify persons who are already registered in a country house. The extract was issued only to property owners and tenants.
It was possible to take an extract from the house register upon presentation of a certificate of registration of property rights or an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate or a lease agreement. However, according to the new regulations of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, a house register is no longer required for registration.
Consent of homeowners
When registering children under 14 years of age, permission from homeowners is not required. After this age, the child has the right to independently initiate the registration procedure.
Processing time, cost
The processing time for submitted documents will vary depending on the place of submission:
- when applying through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 3 days are allotted for consideration;
- When documents are accepted by employees of the passport office or MFC, the deadlines increase to 7 working days. This is due to the need to send verified documents directly to the registrar.
Under certain circumstances, review of documents may take longer. This is possible if it is necessary to check documents for forgery, as well as a request for deregistration sent to other regions.
To obtain registration, it is necessary to temporarily confiscate the original documents, for which the responsible employee issues a receipt for the confiscation. Registration at the place of residence is a free service and is not accompanied by the need to pay a state fee.
How and where to submit documents?
When registering a child, documents are submitted to the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, MFC (“My Documents”). The procedure is free of charge. The application can be submitted remotely via the Internet. This will speed up the registration time.

When registering a newborn, a minimum of documents are required. You will definitely need your parents' passport and a recent birth certificate. You will also have to fill out an application form remotely or in person. Within a week, the newborn will be registered at the specified address.
Important points when registering a newborn baby
The laws of the Russian Federation do not clearly establish deadlines during which it is necessary to register a child at the residence address of the mother or official representative.
During the first 30 days after birth, the mother can register the child at her place of residence without the father's permission, providing only her own passport and birth certificate. This is important to know: How to change your registration in your passport
If the mother, for good reason, cannot register the child, the father can register the child at the joint address or in the mother’s apartment.
If the 30-day period is missed, the child can be registered only with the written or personal consent of the other parent or all legal representatives.
When registering a newborn, the norms for living space per person are not taken into account, regardless of whether registration is carried out in privatized or municipal housing.
Birth certificate
This is your child's first document. To obtain it, you must contact the registry office at your place of residence. To obtain a birth certificate, you need to present a certificate from the maternity hospital, a photocopy of the passport of one of the parents (along with the registration page in the apartment at your place of residence) and a marriage certificate. You can submit papers to both mother and father. The deadline for obtaining a birth certificate is determined by law. This must be done in the first month of the baby's life . You receive it at the same registry office at your place of residence where the documents were submitted. If you do not do this on time, you will need to pay a fine of a little more than two thousand. If your baby’s birth certificate is written in a foreign language, then to register the newborn, it must be translated into Russian. After which it should be certified by a notary at the embassy.
Can they refuse?
The legislator provides maximum opportunities for registering a child at the place of registration of one of the parents. To register a child, permission from all owners and residents of the residential premises is not required. The presence of utility debt is also not an obstacle to obtaining a certificate.
Refusal to register a child is a rather rare occurrence, possible when:
- attempting to register in a dilapidated or dilapidated house;
- if the housing is under arrest;
- if one of the parents does not give permission for registration;
- lack of all necessary documents from parents or guardians;
- absence of a notarized power of attorney if registration is handled by an authorized person.
If the applicant considers the official’s refusal to be insufficiently motivated, he must request the preparation of an appropriate written statement with which he can appeal such a decision.
Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are prohibited from putting any registration stamps on the birth certificate; such actions violate the law and internal instructions.
Additional documents in special cases
When registering newborn children, additional paperwork is sometimes required. For example, if the parents are divorced, do not live together, or in other cases.
Additional documents:
[vote2x id=”1398" align=”center”]
- consent of the second parent to register the child (download a sample here);
- confirmation of citizenship (if parents are foreigners, stateless persons);
- guardianship document.
Written consent with notarization is only necessary if the parents have different places of residence or are not married, and they cannot both come to the procedure. The place of residence of children when their parents divorce is established by their agreement or by a court decision. Accordingly, the child is registered with one person (father or mother).
We advise: How to obtain temporary registration for a child?
If both parents of a newborn are citizens of the Russian Federation and this is noted on the birth certificate, then there is no need to additionally confirm citizenship. If the parents or one of them has foreign citizenship, a mark will be required on the child’s certificate.
When registering guardianship of a child, you will have to provide an act of appointment of a guardian. The procedure for establishing guardianship must be fully completed.
Registration of a child is possible without the approval of other family members, the owner or tenants of the property.
Registration with mother
When registering a newborn child with his mother, a standard set of documents is provided. The father's consent or presence at the procedure is not required, but the mother must go through the entire process on her own. Registration is possible in any residential area without the consent of the owner.
Registration with father
To register a newborn at the father's address, the mother's consent is required if the parents are not married. Registration of a child is possible only if the father already has permanent or temporary registration at this address.
It is impossible to register a newborn with his father if he is deprived of parental rights or, by a court decision, the child’s place of residence is considered to be the mother’s address. It will be difficult to register a newborn if the father is officially declared missing or dead.
At the guardian's
In relation to persons who have obtained guardianship, the law follows the same rules as in the case of parents. They go through the standard procedure for registering a newborn, indicating themselves as legal representatives.
As additional documents, they are only required to confirm the fact of guardianship, as well as registration in the residential premises. When registering guardianship itself, government agencies always check whether future representatives have adequate housing and a source of income.

Temporary registration of a child
A newborn can be registered not only at the place of residence, but also at the place of temporary stay. It all depends on where exactly the parents are registered. For temporary registration, a standard set of documents described above is submitted.
Difference from permanent registration:
- Instead of an application in Form No. 6, a form in Form No. 1 is submitted (download a sample here). The address of temporary registration, citizenship, as well as contacts of parents are indicated. At the end of the procedure, the child is issued a certificate of registration at the place of residence.
- The duration of temporary registration (maximum 60 months) is usually tied to the period of registration of the parents.
- The presence of the homeowner at the procedure is optional and his consent is not required. However, when registering, the parents themselves must provide the consent of the apartment owner (notarized or in the form of a signature on the application).
