In the maternity hospital

Registration of the child begins immediately after birth. Upon discharge from the maternity hospital, the mother of a newborn is issued the following documents:

1. Maternity exchange card

The second sheet (“Information from the maternity hospital, maternity ward of the hospital about the woman in labor”), which contains complete information about the course of labor and the postpartum period and the woman’s health status. It should be taken to your gynecologist.

The third sheet - “Information from the maternity hospital, maternity ward of the hospital about the newborn” - is a report on the condition of the child:

• physiological parameters of the newborn: gender, height, weight at birth and at discharge, assessment of the child’s condition;
• health status of the newborn;
• the day of the first application to the breast and the day the umbilical cord falls off;
• carrying out anti-tuberculosis vaccination.

This document is attached to the newborn’s medical record in the clinic where he will be observed in the first years of life.

2. Third birth certificate coupon

You don't need the coupon itself, only the attachments to it. They need to be taken to the children's clinic.

• Coupon No. 3 -1 is intended to pay health care institutions for services for the first six months of clinical observation of a newborn.
• Coupon No. 3 -2 is intended to pay health care institutions for services for the second six months of dispensary observation of a child.

3. Child’s birth certificate

In fact, this is the main document confirming that the child was born by you. It says when and where the child was born, what gender the newborn is, and who delivered the baby. This certificate is valid for 1 month. You need to take it with you to the registry office to issue a birth certificate for the child.

Birth certificate

A child can be registered in any registry office in the city, but most often the child’s birth certificate is issued in the registry office at the place of residence of one of the parents. According to the law, an application for the birth of a child must be submitted no later than one month from the date of his birth.

To register a newborn, you must provide the following documents:

1. A document that serves as the basis for state registration of the birth of a child.

This:

• Certificate of birth of the child from the maternity hospital (it is valid for a month);
• A birth document issued by a private practitioner during childbirth outside a medical organization;
• If a newborn was born outside a medical organization and without the participation of doctors - a statement from a person present at the time of the birth of the child.

2. Passports of the mother and father (if the family is incomplete - only the mother).

3. Marriage certificate (if available).

When registering a birth certificate, the surname of the newborn is recorded according to the surname of his parents, the name - by agreement of the parents.

If the parents of a newborn are married, either of them can apply to register the child; the presence of the other when issuing a birth certificate is not necessary.

If the parents' marriage is not registered, the physical presence of both the father and mother of the newborn is required when registering a birth certificate. Information about the child's father in this case is entered on the basis of the record of the act of establishing paternity.

If paternity has not been established, information about the child’s father is recorded on the birth certificate according to the mother’s words or, at her request, not indicated at all. In this case, the newborn receives the mother’s surname, and the patronymic is written down from her words.

Along with the child’s birth certificate, the registry office will issue a certificate in form No. 25 for processing benefits for a newborn child, which is valid for 6 months. At the same time, the certificate from the maternity hospital is taken away.

If it is impossible to present to the registry office certain documents that are the basis for state registration of the birth of a child, registration is carried out on the basis of a court decision establishing the fact of the birth of a child.

Registration at place of residence

The next step is to register the child at the place of residence of one of the parents. A newborn child can be registered both at the place of residence of the mother and father. At the same time, the consent of all other people registered in this apartment or house is not required to register the child.

To register a newborn, you need to contact the passport office at your place of residence. They will ask for the following documents:

1. Application from the mother (father) to register the child at the place of residence of the mother (father).

2. Extracts from personal accounts and house books from the place of residence of the father and mother (EIRC, passport office).

3. A certificate from the second parent stating that the child is not registered with him or her at the place of residence. (REU, passport office).

4. Child’s birth certificate + photocopy.

5. Parents’ passports + photocopies.

6. Marriage certificate (if registered).

7. Statement from the 2nd parent that he does not object to the child’s registration.

Before submitting to the passport office, all documents, except passports and birth and marriage certificates, must be certified by the head of the housing office. Registration of a child at the place of residence usually takes several days. As a result, a small stamp will appear on the birth certificate confirming the place of residence of the newborn. There is no need to pay any transfers or fees for registering a newborn - this is done free of charge.

After this, you must receive a certificate from the Housing Office about the child’s registration and about his joint residence with you - this will be needed to receive benefits.

Compulsory health insurance policy

A compulsory medical insurance policy can be obtained from a children's clinic at your place of residence or from an insurance company working with this clinic. To complete it you will need only two documents:

1. Passport of one of the parents of the newborn, which contains a mark of registration at the place of residence (registration).

2. Child's birth certificate.

At the time of registration of the policy, you will be given an Application Registration Sheet for the production of a compulsory medical insurance policy, which replaces the policy until it is received. You should also remember that during the first six months of a newborn’s life, they are required to provide free medical care, regardless of whether the child has a compulsory medical insurance policy.

If you can only get a policy for a child at your place of residence, then for treatment under the compulsory medical insurance system you have the right to choose any district clinic in Moscow - even if the child is not registered in this area. Just don’t forget to get an absentee ballot from the clinic at your place of registration - you will need it to receive free medicines and baby food.

Registration of citizenship

If before the adoption of the Law “On Citizenship of the Russian Federation” in 2002, parents of a newborn only needed to obtain a birth certificate, registration and compulsory medical insurance, now registration of the child’s citizenship . Without this, you will not only not be able to travel abroad with your baby, but also will not receive a state certificate for maternity capital. In the future, the child will need proof of citizenship to obtain a general passport.

For newborns born after February 2007, the collection of documents for registration of the child’s citizenship has been simplified as much as possible. To obtain Russian citizenship, you must submit your parents’ passports and the birth certificate itself to the regional department of the Federal Migration Service. The stamp is affixed directly on the day of application on the back of the birth certificate in the upper left part.

Obtaining a child's birth certificate

This is the first official document of a person under 14 years of age. It verifies a person's identity.

It is necessary in many cases, for example, in order to receive childbirth benefits 2020.

See here for more details on the list of documents required for registration of maternity capital. The document is received by parents or other legal representatives of the newborn at the registry office.

The certificate has a number and series; it indicates the person’s last name, first name, patronymic, the date of his birth, as well as information about his parents. If the newborn has only one parent, a dash is placed in the second column.

To obtain a birth certificate for a child, adults are required to bring it to the registry office:

• passports;
• Marriage certificate;
• certificate from the maternity hospital.

IMPORTANT: The absence of an official relationship between the father and mother of a newborn is not a reason for failure to issue the necessary papers.

On this basis, his data is entered in the “father” column. But this is only if the child was born out of wedlock.

See here what a civil marriage is and what legal consequences its dissolution has.

This paper is processed at the registry office in one day. Together with him, a certificate of his birth is issued to his legal representatives.

According to the law, it has a strict form F-24 and is necessary to receive a one-time benefit.

Child's citizenship

If a child was born in Russia and his parents are citizens of the Russian Federation, the child’s citizenship is automatically recognized as Russian. In this case, no additional paperwork is required - a record of citizenship is included in the birth certificate.

The following government organizations are authorized to affix a stamp on Russian citizenship:

• Consulate of the Russian Federation - if the process takes place in another state;

The baby is registered at the place of residence of one of the parents, mother or father.

Registration is completed at the passport office serving the residential address of one of the parents.

When registering a newborn, papers are provided at the passport office:

The baby must be registered within 7 days as a new arrival at the place of residence.

But this provision contradicts another norm: legal representatives are given a month to receive a birth certificate. And without this paper they cannot register a person.

Therefore, parents receive a certificate, and then come to the passport office and register the child.

Obtaining the child’s documents at birth is necessary to obtain citizenship, which is issued along with registration.

A stamp is placed on the certificate, which damages the child’s place of residence and his citizenship. The public service is provided free of charge.

In addition, the execution of this document is necessary to use the government services portal, where a child can be enrolled in sections and clubs. SNILS is required only for children with disabilities.

What documents will be required?

To complete both documents you will need the following paperwork:

• passport of one of the child’s parents or guardians;

Both documents are opened within 2-3 weeks from the date of application. As a rule, the exact date is announced at the first appointment. While the application is being considered, the child will be issued a temporary policy.

Documents for obtaining benefits for the birth of a child

When a baby is born, financial assistance is paid, which is one-time in nature.

It can be provided to mom or dad, and is paid for each birth.

If the baby died during childbirth, the woman is not entitled to it. From winter 2020, the benefit amount is 15,512 rubles.

If any of the legal representatives is an employee of the Far North, then the amount of the benefit increases by the regional coefficient established in a certain area.

Money is paid in two ways:

Documents for childbirth benefits:

According to Russian legislation, a newborn can only be registered in the living space where one of the parents is registered. Despite the fact that registration is necessary for every citizen of the Russian Federation, you can obtain all other documents without registration. However, you should not delay the process, since registration will be useful for lining up for school and kindergarten, as well as for applying for benefits and benefits.

Frequently asked questions about paperwork for a newborn

How long does it take to register a child?

The statutory period for registering a child after birth is 30 calendar days. If, after one year, the parents have not announced his appearance, then the procedure at the registry office will be slightly changed. Instead of making a birth record in the current register of deeds, a procedure for restoring the record will be carried out. In this case, the operation of restoring the vital record cannot be done by township and rural departments (branches) of civil registry offices. Parents or persons authorized to register the birth will need to contact city and district offices.

What is the procedure for assigning a surname, name and patronymic to a child?

Surname . With a baby born to a mother and father who are officially married, everything is clear. If the spouses have officially registered their relationship, but their surnames are different, the baby, by agreement reached between them, can be assigned the surname of one of them. However, if the parents could not decide, the child’s surname will be given to the authorized guardianship authorities.

Name . Parents, by mutual agreement, assign a name to their child. How will the child be registered at the registry office if mom and dad can’t agree? The decision on what name to give the baby will be made by the guardianship authorities.

Surname . Usually assigned after the father's name. However, based on national traditions, this generally accepted rule can be changed. In the absence of a marriage certificate, as well as another document confirming that the baby has a father, the registration of the child in the registry office is carried out by the only parent, the mother's surname is assigned to the baby, and she also independently chooses his name. The patronymic is given to him by the name of the father indicated by the woman in a certain column. If the mother has put dashes, it is written according to her wishes.

What documents do you need to receive upon discharge from the maternity hospital?

Despite the first troubles with a newborn, young parents, when discharged from a medical institution, will need to remember to take:

1. The second sheet of the exchange card, which describes the characteristics of childbirth. It is filled out by the doctor who assisted in the birth. The specialist will assess your health after childbirth, record complications (if any), as well as the specifics of the therapy performed. After filling out the form, you must submit it to the antenatal clinic.
2. The third sheet from the exchange card. It is prepared by a pediatrician or neonatologist. Describing the features of the birth of a baby, experts indicate the consequences for the baby, its physical parameters (height, weight), and method of feeding. The completed third sheet will then be filed with the baby’s children’s record and used by the visiting pediatrician to track the dynamics of development and the baby’s health status.
3. A certificate from the midwife who assisted in childbirth, with her signature, as well as the seal of the maternity hospital. This paper is the basis for registering in the registry office the fact of the existence of a new member of the society and confirming his right to benefits. The time, date of birth of the little man, his gender, full name are written down on the sheet. specialist who assisted in childbirth.

In what order to receive documents and services

I made the following plan for myself in advance:

1. Receive documents from the maternity hospital. They are needed to complete other papers.
2. Get your son’s birth certificate at the registry office as quickly as possible: without it you won’t be able to get other documents.
3. Already with a birth certificate, apply for permanent registration of your son and SNILS through the MFC.
4. Enter information about the child into the internal passport.
5. Apply for a compulsory medical insurance policy from the insurance company.

I intended to spend a week on all this.

I decided to make a TIN and a mark on citizenship for the occasion when I will be near the tax office or the migration department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was not my plan to specifically allocate time for this. I have not issued a foreign passport for my son: this is not necessary yet.

After receiving the compulsory medical insurance policy and registration, I was going to attach the child to the clinic and put him on the waiting list for kindergarten. This required a day and full access to the government services portal.
