Many citizens may need a duplicate birth certificate for their child, sister, brother, or even parent if the document is lost or has become unusable. But how to get a duplicate of a child’s birth certificate, where should you go, and what documents will the applicant have to present?
Documents for restoring a birth certificate.
Restoring a birth certificate involves preliminary preparation of the necessary documents, namely:
- a copy of the applicant's passport;
- application in form No. 18 to replace the certificate;
- original certificate form (if it was damaged);
- original receipt of payment of the duty;
- a copy of the registration (divorce) certificate of the parents’ marriage, if a duplicate is issued to the child.
By the way, the amount of the fee for issuing a duplicate certificate is, according to paragraphs. 6 clause 1 art. 333.26 Tax Code of the Russian Federation, 350 rubles.
Details for payment can be found at the local civil registry office or on the portal of the regional State Committee for Civil Registry Affairs.
Moreover, if parents or other guardians apply to the registry office to restore a document for a child, the initials of the minor should be indicated as the payer of the state fee.
If a birth certificate lost it without a personal visit to the registry office, this question worries citizens who, for one reason or another, cannot come to the registry office where the original document was issued.
In this regard, you will have to prepare another document - a power of attorney, certified by a notary. The person to whom it will be issued will be able to represent the interests of the applicant within the framework of the powers specified in it.
