What documents are needed for temporary registration of a child under 14 years of age?

What is registration (registration)

Citizens of Russia have the right to move freely within the country and live where they wish, but by registering their place of residence.
Previously, registration actions in relation to assigning a person to his place of residence or stay were called registration. Now this word continues to be used in everyday speech, understanding a new meaning enshrined in law. Registration or its absence does not limit or expand the possibilities for people to exercise their rights and freedoms, but the presence of registration makes it easier for a person to find a job, receive medical care and interact with various authorities.

Registration may be permanent or temporary. Temporary registration is done in rented apartments or houses, hotels, holiday homes, boarding houses, on long-term business trips and other similar cases.

Registration registration

All legislative aspects related to the issue under consideration have been discussed. Let's move on to a description of the procedure itself.

Grounds for registration

To obtain registration, you can apply one of the following grounds:

• an agreement between the child’s representative and the rightful owner of the property on the rental of residential premises;
• official voluntary consent of the owner;
• an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate confirming the parent’s right of ownership of housing.

If there is an official basis for registration, then you can proceed to its registration.

Required documents

The papers are handed over together with the documents of the child’s representative. The procedure itself is not subject to duty.

The list of what you need to collect is presented below:

1. An application submitted by a parent or legal representative. The application form is strictly prescribed.
2. A copy of the birth certificate (two sides). Needed to convey information about citizenship. A foreigner must additionally provide a foreign passport.
3. A copy of the child’s passport, if he has already received this document.
4. Consent of both parents if the minor is registered separately from them. If one of the parties does not want to give consent, then the issue will have to be resolved through the court.

There is no need to obtain consent from the owner of the apartment or house and from other residents to register a minor, but only on the condition that the parents are already registered in this housing.

Employees of the responsible authority will check the submitted papers within 3 days, after which they will issue a certificate. We’ll talk about methods of transmitting documents and methods of receiving them a little later. There is no need to remove a child from permanent registration, since the law allows for two types of registration at the same time without any associated problems.

The certificate indicates the period for which it is issued. The maximum allowable is 5 years. After the specified period, you must repeat the registration a week before, or leave the place of temporary stay.

Where to contact?

There are three ways to send papers to the registrar. Regardless of how the documents were transferred, you will still have to receive a certificate upon a personal visit to the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The first option is to use the State Services portal . To use it, you must first create and confirm an account. Next you need:

1. Scan the entire package of documents that must be submitted to the registration authority. The system will note any errors.
2. Log in to the State Services portal and use the appropriate service. The application will need to indicate the address and terms of registration, as well as the composition of the attached package of documents.
3. Upload documentation and submit application.

Once staff has reviewed the application, they will provide notice with a date for an in-person visit. If the minor or his parents do not come for the certificate within the specified period, the document will be cancelled.

The second option is to immediately contact the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the MFC . When choosing an MFC, the review period will be somewhat delayed, since documents will be transferred between organizations. The application can be completed on the spot - staff will help you comply with all requirements.

The third option is to send papers by Russian Post . This must be done immediately before moving (so that upon arrival you can immediately pick up the completed papers and not have to deal with their preparation in the future).

So, in general, the registration procedure looks like this:

1. Obtaining grounds for registration of a minor (one of those described in the third section of the article).
2. Transferring the established package of documents to employees and completing the application.
3. Receiving a receipt from employees, which will indicate the list of transferred papers.
4. Waiting for the result. Standard period is up to 3 days. Sometimes the review may take longer; you will be notified of this.
5. Obtaining an official certificate drawn up according to the established template.

The fee will have to be paid only if the child is a citizen of another state. Size – 350 rubles.

The principle of registering children under the age of majority

The Family and Civil Codes require the registration of minor children under 14 years of age at the place of residence of their parents or other official guardians. Upon reaching 14 years of age, a child has the right to register with their written permission in any place.

It should be noted that a child under fourteen years of age is registered at the place of registration of his legal representative without the participation of the homeowner.

The procedure for registering a child’s temporary registration can be clarified with the authorities authorized to carry out this procedure:

1. At the passport and visa service department.
2. In the nearest multifunctional center.
3. On the government services portal.

When moving for temporary residence to rented housing, you need to take care of the child and ask the owners about the possibility of his registration, and for what possible period of time.

Having received information about the procedure for temporary registration and collected the required documents for registration, you need to arrive at the registration authorities. To register a child at the place of residence of the parents or one of them, you must provide:

• parents' identity card (passport);
• child's birth certificate;
• a document confirming the rental or rental of housing;
• consent of the owners of the premises for temporary registration.

Important! Temporary registration does not provide for the termination of permanent registration.

Design rules

You can organize the receipt of registration by sending an online application through the State Services website if you have authorized access. In this case, the procedure is reduced in duration, eliminating the need for a preliminary visit to the authorized government agency that accepts documents for temporary registration.

Only representatives of the Migration Service have the right to issue certificates of temporary registration. However, if desired, documents are submitted:

• through the State Services website;
• to the MFC window at the location of the apartment;
• directly at the territorial department of the FMS.

All that is needed for registration remotely is the creation and access to a personal account on the government electronic services portal. This method is also the fastest - within three days after applying through the website, a specialist will notify you that the certificate form is ready for issue. When submitting indirectly through the MFC, the period is increased by 2-5 days, which are necessary for sending documents between the applicant and the migration department.

By place of stay

If the trip to another region does not exceed 2.5 months, the duration of absence does not entail obligations to register the registration of residence of children, however, if staying in another territory for more than 90 days, you must contact the authorities to obtain a certificate of stay at the new address for adult family members and their children.

In order to obtain legal grounds to live at a different address for six months or a year, the child will not need to present the owner’s consent among the papers. However, already registered citizens have the right to independently register their minor dependents with them. In the future, this will entail certain obligations in granting the right of residence to new residents, as well as an increase in utility bills, calculated according to the number of registered citizens.

Without parents

When a child is registered after turning 14 years old, the restriction of mandatory temporary registration with either the father, the mother, or both spouses is lifted. However, a minor can obtain the right to live separately only with the approval of both parents.

The child himself applies to the migration authority with a personally completed application, as well as written consent from the owner of the property to carry out the procedure.

Without the owner's consent

In the case of registration at the place of residence, the main difficulty is obtaining registration by the parent himself. In the future, dependents are registered at this address, based on current legislative norms.

The owner of the property is unable to prevent the registration of young children, as this would violate civil rights enshrined in civil law.

The complexity of the procedure lies in the impossibility of terminating the registration before the expiration of the certificate. You will have to wait until the end of the period specified in the document, or resolve the issue through the guardianship authorities.

Responsibility for lack of registration

The Code of Administrative Offenses provides for punishment for non-compliance with the legislation on registration at the place of residence or stay of citizens. Articles 19.15.1 and 19.15.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses contain a fairly extensive list of possible violations and corresponding sanctions.

If you change your place of residence, you must register within 7 days from the date of termination of registration at your previous address. You must register at your place of stay if you are on a business trip, trip, on shift, etc. for more than 90 days.

If the rules for registering citizens are violated, administrative punishment is imposed not only on the culprit, but also on the owner of the premises where the violator resides.

Concept: registration at the place of stay

The legal concept of “registration” appeared recently, a quarter of a century ago. Previously, another term was used to determine the registration of citizens - “registration”. After the introduction of the law on the freedom of movement of citizens throughout the country, it remained only in spoken language. Lawyers now only use the word “registration.”

According to the law, a citizen planning to live for a long time outside of his registration is required to notify government authorities of his decision. For children under 14 years of age, an application must be submitted by one of the parents. The period of stay at the new address must be more than 90 days.

Interesting! Children become adults and fully capable only at 18 years of age. At the age of 14 they receive a passport, but do not yet have full rights. And they also cannot apply for registration on their own without their parents.

Why should a citizen who has a stamp in his passport on the “place of residence” page bother registering at his place of residence? There are 2 aspects here. One of them concerns the citizen himself, his duties to the state. For example, paying taxes, loans, paying wages from an employer to its employees. As well as obligations to other people: the ex-spouse to their minor children.

On the other hand, the state protects the rights of citizens of any age. Minors cannot protect their rights themselves, so parents temporarily perform this function. If negligent parents perform their duties in bad faith: they register their children in an apartment or house with their relatives, while they themselves live separately. Registration helps to identify such cases.

Interesting! According to the law, the difference between the terms “registration and registration” is significant. The old term meant linking a citizen to a specific locality, the new one - to a specific residential premises.

Peculiarities of registration of minors

According to current legislation, until the age of 14, the place of residence of children is recognized as the place of registration of their legal representatives. If the parents live separately and are registered, the child is registered with only one of them.

When registering a minor at the place of residence of both or one of the parents, obtaining the consent of other residents of the living space or owners is not required.

Is it possible to register a child separately from his parents?

A teenager over 14 years old is recognized in Russia as having limited legal capacity. With the written consent of the legal representatives, a child who has not reached the age of majority, but is over 14 years old, can register separately from them. Consent will be sufficient from one of the parents. Together with the parents, the child submits an application for registration to the passport and visa service or to the MFC, where the written consent of the legal representatives is also issued.

This is important to know: What is the difference between registration and registration?

Temporarily, a teenager can register in the living space of a close relative with confirmation of the fact of relationship.

Duration and cost of registering a child at the place of stay

The procedure for temporary registration itself takes several days. It will take 3 days to complete the documents. Delays may occur only for technical reasons, but not for long.

For residents of Russia, registration is done without paying a state fee. Citizens of another country, when registering permanently at their place of residence, will have to pay a small state fee of 350 rubles, and temporary registration is also done without paying for the service.

Upon expiration of the period of temporary registration of a minor at the place of stay, he will automatically be deregistered the next day. You will not have to take any additional steps to terminate your registration.

If you need to cancel your temporary registration ahead of schedule, you will need to:

• application on behalf of one of the parents;
• his identity card (passport);
• written approval of the cancellation of registration from the second parent;
• the child's birth certificate or passport, if you already have it.

Cancellation of temporary registration is even faster, on average it will take one day.

Pitfalls when registering children

First of all, it is worth understanding that an apartment owner who registers an adult with a minor child has certain risks. What are they?

1. There are cases when a parent takes advantage of the fact that the child has been given a period of temporary registration longer than he has, the citizen takes advantage of this and registers under the child.
2. If, after the expiration of the temporary registration period, the parents go to court with the fact that they have nowhere to register the child for permanent registration, the judicial authority may extend the temporary registration.
3. The risk of non-payment of utilities is inherent in this procedure. Very often there are dishonest tenants who do not fulfill their direct obligations.
4. There is a risk that the child will be mistakenly registered not temporarily, but on a permanent basis.

In order to avoid such situations, the homeowner must approach the issue of registering temporary residents in his apartment very responsibly. It is worth understanding and not registering strangers. If any difficulties arise, a citizen must immediately file a lawsuit to resolve this issue.

Procedure for admitting a child to school. Why temporary registration may be needed

The Law “On Education” defines the general principles and conditions for the admission of children to educational institutions. The “Procedure for Admitting Citizens to Study,” approved by the order of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, specifies these rules. The country has introduced a territorial principle for admitting students to schools. The first to be enrolled are children living in the territory assigned to the educational institution. After accepting this category of children and subject to the availability of free places, the remaining applicants are accepted.

To confirm your right to priority enrollment in a school, you will need a certificate of registration at your place of residence. For those who live in another territory and do not have such a certificate, temporary registration at a suitable address can help.

Important! You should be aware that if temporary registration is issued at an address close to the place of permanent registration, this may arouse suspicion and, at best, the child will not be accepted into the chosen school.

Basic methods of temporarily registering a child

How to apply for temporary registration? The procedure for time-limited registration is general. However, practically people have long been using various options, which not only allow them to resolve the issue of accounting, but also provide certain preferences.

Can an unregistered parent who does not have a permanent residence permit use alternative options?

Today, in practice, when registering persons, they use one of the following options, which gives some freedoms when resolving the issue under consideration:

1. If parents have temporary registration at one or another address, then they can register their child without any problems. This does not even require the consent of the person who is considered the owner of the relevant housing.
2. If parents have registration in different homes, then they can agree on a time-limited registration of the child at one or another address. At the same time, they have the right to establish registration for a certain period with one or another parent and the same period with the other. It all depends on what decision the parents come to.
3. If the mother and father have not registered their relationship, then the father will not be able to register the children. In this case, official recognition of paternity through the court is necessary.
4. Registering a child with close relatives can also be carried out on the initiative of the relatives themselves, who want to register the child for a limited time. This provides certain tax or utility preferences and social assistance from the state.

But it is worth noting that the deliberate registration of any persons in one’s apartment for the purpose of receiving social preferences is punishable by the following types of sanctions:

• imprisonment of the guilty person for up to 3 years;
• fine from 100 to 500 thousand rubles.

For this reason, you need to be careful when the number of registered persons in an apartment exceeds a certain number.

Registration can be granted only when there is enough space in the apartment. After all, at the very first complaint of any interested person, a criminal case will be initiated for fraud with social benefits.

How and where to get a temporary registration for a child

If the parents or one of them already have temporary registration, then the child will have to register with him, since children under 14 years old cannot do this separately by virtue of the law. In order to temporarily register a child in the required territory, you will have to find an owner who is willing to temporarily provide his housing, at least for an adult.

Expert opinion

Practicing lawyer with 15 years of experience. Specializes in family law

It will be possible to register a minor with his parent later without the consent of the owner. An application for a child is filled out by his father or mother. Temporary registration is issued at the passport and visa service, multifunctional center or on the State Services portal. The period for registering children cannot exceed the period allowed by the owner or renter for their parents.

Temporary registration of a child without parents

We recommend that you read:

How to register a newborn baby

Persons are subject to registration where adult members of their family are officially registered. However, the law allows for some cases when they can be registered at a different address.

The list of such cases when registration without them is possible includes the following circumstances:

• when parents are no longer alive or their whereabouts are unknown;
• when parents were deprived of their rights to children;
• when parents have not decided on a place to live.

Then minors are allowed to be registered in a house other than the house of their parents. The legislation allows this, because for minors it is important to be taken into account in order to exercise certain powers, for example, to go to school.

Due to circumstances that force a minor to be registered without the participation of representatives, he may be registered in the following places:

• in an orphanage, when persons do not have parents or their whereabouts are unknown;
• from close relatives when the parents do not have a fixed place of residence.

So, in situations where parents have temporary difficulties with housing, they can temporarily take minors into account with a close relative. This is done in their interests so that they can exercise their powers.

When everything is normal with the housing of representatives according to the law, minors can also register for a limited period or regularly in another housing. However, this authority accrues to them by the age of 14.

Documents required for temporary registration of a child

Registering at your place of residence will not be difficult if you provide the registration authorities with a package of documents:

• parent's identification document, usually a passport;
• child's birth certificate;
• title document for housing or the owner’s application for permission to register;
• If children 14 years of age and older are registering with one parent, the consent of the other may be required.

An application form to be filled out is issued by an employee of the passport and visa service on site or it is filled out by the employee himself if the MFC is selected for submitting documents. When submitting an application through the State Services portal, the form is filled out electronically by the applicant independently.

It takes 3 days to prepare the registration certificate. There is no state fee for the service.

Newborn registration

You can register a recently born child at the registration authorities or at a multifunctional center.

To do this, you must submit the following documents:

• parent's registration certificate;
• child's birth certificate, citizenship insert;
• application for temporary registration;
• an application from one parent for consent to registration (if the parents do not live together) and a certificate stating that the child is not registered with him.

The deadlines for registering newborns are the same as for other citizens of the Russian Federation.

Possible difficulties when registering a child

The owner who has provided his premises for temporary registration should remember the possible complications that may arise due to a rash decision.

Consequences of obtaining a fictitious registration

If the registration at the required address is fictitious and the child lives at the place of permanent registration, then if such a fact is revealed, criminal liability may be applied to the citizens who committed the offense.

Parents who seek to place their child in their chosen school by any, sometimes illegal, means, and those who assist them in this, should think carefully about the consequences.

Removal from the register

The citizen will be automatically deregistered immediately after the expiration date of the registration. If the child’s representatives want to cancel their registration ahead of schedule, they need to prepare:

• statement;
• applicant's passport;
• consent from the second parent;
• birth certificate or passport of the child.

After 14 years of age, a minor can withdraw from registration using the following documents:

• statement;
• passport;
• consent from both parents.

Actions to cancel registration can be carried out literally on the day of filing the application.
