Every person who lives in a state governed by the rule of law has rights that must be strictly observed by everyone. One of the rights is registration at the place of temporary residence or permanent residence. It is necessary to register a newborn child, thereby declaring the location of a new citizen on the territory of the state. This procedure is quite simple, and requires a minimum quantitative set of documents and very little time.
Documents required for registration
To register a newborn, you will need all documents confirming his identity and the identity of his parents. The list of required documents is not long, you can easily collect everything you need:
- parents' passports;
- baby's birth certificate;
- marriage certificate by the parents (if the marriage is registered);
- a statement from one of the registering parents that he does not oppose the registration of a child in the territory of another;
- a statement from mom that she permits to register the baby with the father, if it is decided to register the child at the place of dad's registration.
Nuances arising when registering a child's registration
Thinking about how to register a newborn and where, it is worth considering the fact that it is obligatory to register him in a house or apartment even if the size of the living space is insufficient.
- if the child is registered separately from the mother, then in addition to the father's statement, the written permission of the mother is required; when registering with the mother jointly, the father's statement is not required
- It is possible to register a child up to one month of age only if there is an application from the mother; it is possible to register a child after one month of age if there is an application from the mother and a certificate from the place of residence from the father.
- when registering with one of the parents, the permission of the other family members is not required, even if they are the owner and not you. when registering registration, the presence of both parents is required.
- one of the parents has the right to register their newborn child for any share of their own real estate, even if it will be a quarter of an apartment and the living space will not be sufficient according to the established minimum.
There is also such a nuance as the registration of a child in a dwelling, the owners of which are neither the mother nor the father. In this case, the consent of the owners of the provided area for registration is not required, just as the consent (either verbal or written) of all the others is not required. When registering a child in a private home, a note about this will be entered in the house book, among other documents.
If the baby's parents are not officially married, but they want to register the baby with the father, then the father must certainly be indicated in the main document of the child - in the birth certificate. For such an option to work, the father must either adopt his own child, or - to carry out the procedure for establishing paternity, or - the procedure for recognizing paternity.
Child registration deadlines
Having prepared all the documents, you can proceed to the most important thing - a trip to the passport office. There you will have to provide the employee with all the collected certificates and other papers, including parental passports. The employee will pick them up for a while, usually for a short time, no more than 7 days. Then you can go to get your papers, where the place of registration of the child will already be indicated.
Despite the seeming simplicity of the procedure at first, there are some nuances, which it is better to know about in advance, so that you do not have to visit the passport office several times. So, if the baby is registered in the mother's territory, then the father's consent is not required, but if on the contrary, then the notarized consent is required from the mother. It will not be possible to register a child in a living space where none of the parents is temporarily or permanently registered, since the legislation prohibits the child to live separately from his parents until the age of sixteen.
About the fine
To register a child, it is necessary to provide a birth certificate, which is required to be obtained from the registry office within a month from the birthday, otherwise irresponsible parents will face a big fine. (in the amount of 1.5 to 2.5 thousand rubles (clause 6 of article 16 of the Federal Law "On acts of civil status")
A residence permit can be issued for a longer period - up to 3 months, but it is still not worth delaying with it. Failure to register is punishable by a substantial fine, regardless of the person's age, and since it is the parents who are fully responsible for the baby, the payment of the fine will fall on them.
By registering a baby, you will not only comply with the requirements of the law, but also provide your baby and yourself with a quiet life. The very actual registration at the place of residence makes it possible to get a medical policy for the child, to issue all monetary and other relying benefits and maternity capital without any problems, if you are not your first child.
