Large family: definition and status

What is a large family? This is a family consisting of three or more children. In the conditions of the demographic crisis, not everyone will decide to raise such a number of children. Having many children is simply not in fashion today, but a few decades ago it was the norm.

A family in which there is only a mother, father and one child, and even more so if he has only one parent, cannot provide the child with normal socialization within this unit of society. But children from large families, with proper upbringing, grow up to be independent people, mentally stable and able to better adapt to any life situations.

The government is trying with all its might to change the demographic situation in the country for the better. Therefore, it takes measures to ensure that the number of children in families increases, and the well-being of the families themselves grows. One of these measures is precisely the issuance of certificates for large families.

Issuance of a certificate for a large family

• violation of the deadline for registering the applicant’s request for the provision of a public service;
• violation of the deadline for the provision of public services;
• requesting from the applicant documents not provided for by the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, regulatory legal acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation for the provision of public services;

Of course, the state allocates funds for various types of assistance to large families. This is humanitarian support, benefits, discounts, vouchers, free provision of various things, etc. Entire plots of land are allocated for construction and farming for large families.

Which families are considered large

According to the approved rules, a large family is a family with three or more children under 18 years of age. The status continues to be valid until the youngest child reaches 16 years of age. The upper limit is increased to 18 years of age if studying at a school with general programs. The origin of the child is not taken into account - both natural and adopted children fall under the rule.

Both two-parent families and those with only one parent have the right to seek help. The main thing is to officially confirm your status.

List of documents required to obtain the status of a father of many children

In accordance with the law, a preferential package of services can be used only after providing all the necessary documents that could confirm the status of a father with many children and the need for support or refute it.

Single dad will need to provide:

1. Originals + copies of children's birth certificates.
2. Applicant's passport.
3. Father's Taxpayer Identification Number.
4. If available, a certificate of income, place of work or service.
5. If there is a child with disabilities in the family, all documentation indicating disability.
6. For children studying full-time at universities - a confirming certificate from their place of study.

The applicant will need to attach additional documents in cases where:

• establishment of paternity was required - a copy of the court decision on the basis of which the law came into force should be attached;
• in case of divorce, you will need a copy of the court proceedings;
• in connection with the death of the mother - a copy of the death document.

Advice! Please note that if one of the children has reached the age of majority or the parent has been deprived of parental rights, then payments will be stopped and the status of the father with many children will be cancelled.

Naturally, it is impossible in principle to take into account all the needs of low-income families in a single regulatory act, therefore, for this category of people, regional legislation has provided additional benefits, which can be found in the regulations of your region.
