Documents from the maternity hospital

In fact, the first documents of the newborn are issued to the mother immediately after the child is discharged from the maternity ward.

These papers confirm the fact of his birth and will serve as a legal basis for obtaining other papers - for example, on their basis, parents make a birth certificate.

So, after being discharged from the maternity ward, the woman has the following important papers in her hands:

Why is it necessary to obtain a certificate?

Obtaining a child's birth certificate is one of the most important steps you will take. The process of obtaining a document is quite simple and does not require any costs, significant physical effort, time or money from parents. You should not neglect receiving such paper, because for the next few years it will be the main and main one. The absence of a document threatens the family with very unpleasant consequences, which many parents do not even think about in advance. The upcoming difficulties will consist not only in the need to pay a fine, but also in the inability to obtain additional necessary documents, as well as government subsidies and subsidies, which entails the risk of loss of financial resources. So, let's specify the list of existing risks. First of all, these include the inability to obtain:

citizenship for the child (parents’ certificate and passports are required);
maternity capital (for the second child);
compulsory health insurance policy;
passports of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
registration at the place of residence.

Along with the birth certificate, new parents will also receive a special certificate; in the future you will need it to apply for various benefits for the baby. In addition, you will definitely need the document to register for kindergarten or school.

Restoration or replacement of a certificate

A duplicate of the document is issued immediately after applying to the registry office, if it was received in this division of the state structure. It is more difficult if a citizen was born in the Far East and lives in Kaliningrad. Traveling from one region of the country to another because of a certificate is expensive and time-consuming. It’s easier to restore and replace damaged paper through the State Services portal.

A registered user enters the portal, finds the desired service through the search bar or in the catalog. Open the “Life Situations” block. Finds the line “documents were stolen or lost.”

Then they act according to the system prompts. Enter personal data, fill out an electronic application form, pay the state fee. The duplicate document is issued by the registry office where it was originally received. The paper is issued based on the entry made in the civil registration book. It will be easier to solve the problem if the child’s parents still have a photocopy of the certificate in their hands, which indicates its number.

What is the registration procedure?

In 2021, the same activities are required as the year before, since the procedure for obtaining the document has not changed. Ideally, it takes a maximum of three days, since the vast majority of parents do not encounter any particular difficulties when contacting the registry office.

If you have all of the above papers, visit the registry office. Specialists must invite you to fill out an application in an approved form, which should indicate:

time and place of birth of the child;
floor;
information about parents.

Legislative acts do not regulate the period for receiving the paper, but everything happens quite quickly - they sometimes issue it within an hour after applying. The birth certificate is A4 paper, equipped with security watermarks and a special official seal. Each such document has its own unique number.

If the spouses are officially registered, then it is absolutely not necessary for both mother and father to visit the registry office. For example, a woman alone can obtain a child’s birth certificate. If the marriage is civil, both parents are needed at the registry office.

There are situations when spouses cannot come to the registry office specialists for various valid reasons. In this case, either relatives or another person who has a power of attorney to perform this action from the parent can draw up papers for the child.

There is no state fee for the very first receipt of paper.

If you need a duplicate, you will have to pay 350 rubles (for 2021). Registration of paternity will cost the same amount if the parents are not officially registered.

Difficulties in obtaining a certificate

The only serious difficulty when filling out an application for a document for a child is the need to undergo authorization at the MFC. You can get to an employee for registration and identification on a first-come, first-served basis. Persons who have personal accounts with State Services receive an appointment number for this organization online.

You will have to visit the registry office in any case. The certificate is issued upon presentation of the parents' original documents and discharge from the maternity hospital.

Important. If mom and dad have different last names, the registry office employees will require the presence of both parents when issuing the document.

Where is it recommended to go for registration?

Which institution issues and processes a child’s birth certificate? The registry office is where you should turn first and only. They can help you resolve issues related to obtaining such a document at:

The registry office at the place of registration of either parent.
The registry office at the place of birth of your child.
At any other civil registry office in your city.
At the consular office (relevant for babies born outside our homeland).

If your locality does not have a civil registry office, it is recommended that you contact your nearest village council for detailed advice on your next steps.

A little more about the required certificates

The issuance of a child’s birth certificate is carried out on the basis of the documents presented above. Let's talk in more detail about the requirements for them. So, a medical certificate stating that the baby was born is issued either in a maternity hospital or by a specialist who delivers babies outside the walls of a medical institution. In both cases, the paper is official and is valid for 30 days (one calendar month). If emergency relief from the burden occurred without representatives of the medical field, it is recommended to enlist the support of witnesses, based on whose testimony an official statement will be drawn up.

Receiving the document

Where can I get a child’s birth certificate again? After all, it often happens that the original was lost or damaged. The situation is unpleasant, but not the most critical; the document can be restored quite easily. So, you will have to contact the registry office again and provide the necessary list of documents (similar to the initial registration procedure), in addition, you will have to pay a fee and wait a certain amount of time. If the certificate was originally issued at the registry office, which is not accessible, you will have to wait a significant period until the data is restored.

When should I apply for the document?

It is also extremely important to know within what time frame a child’s birth certificate should be obtained. The period for submitting an application for a document is one month from the date of birth of the newborn. The specified time period is determined by Federal Law No. 143, which is called “On Acts of Civil Status”. Please note that the certificate issued at the maternity hospital is valid for the same amount of time.

When submitting an application for paperwork through the court, you should also focus on one calendar month.
