While expecting a baby, women sometimes have to deal with the preparation of new documents. A pregnancy certificate (a sample with a stamp will be presented below) is issued subject to certain conditions. This is exactly what the article will discuss. You will learn how to fill out a pregnancy certificate. We will also look at a sample. In addition, you can find out some of the design features of this document.
When might a document be needed?
A medical certificate of pregnancy is often required at the place of work. If a woman’s professional activity involves heavy physical labor or there are conditions at work in which it is dangerous for the expectant mother to stay, then the employer may require such a form. In this case, the fairer sex will count on a change in conditions.
If you want to submit an application to the registry office and you have a certificate of pregnancy, then representatives of the law can speed up the marriage process. On average, future newlyweds have to wait from two to four months. However, if you provide the form, you can expect to register within one month. Moreover, the longer the pregnancy, the faster everything will happen.
In some cases, airline representatives may ask you for this document. Many companies do not undertake to transport expectant mothers after 30-35 weeks of pregnancy. In this case, you will need a certificate indicating the deadline.
There are many other authorities that require a certain sample of a pregnancy certificate. In this case, you need to inform your gynecologist that you need a certain form of document.
Required documents
The basis for the official registration of a new family is a joint statement of the future newlyweds (Federal Law No. 143-FZ “On Civil Status Acts”, Article 24). An application for marriage is possible.
Registration of marriage during pregnancy (terms and required documents) has some differences from the standard procedure.
The application form is the same for everyone who wants to legalize family relationships. The form can be downloaded in advance on the Internet or filled out in person at the registry office.
To conduct an urgent ceremony you must present:
- Russian passports of the bride and groom;
- certificate of termination of a previous marriage (if available);
- certificate of pregnancy of the woman;
- a receipt for payment of state duty in the amount of 350 rubles (Tax Code of the Russian Federation, Article 333.26).
If the future parents are under 18 years of age, the consent of local authorities is additionally required. A special commission considers a minor's request for permission to marry. The result of the consideration is a resolution that is attached to the application.
To whom and how is the document issued?
A pregnancy certificate (each medical institution has a stamped sample) is provided exclusively to expectant mothers. A woman who wishes to receive the form must undergo a thorough examination. If the expectant mother is registered, then issuing a certificate will take only a few minutes. When the pregnancy is still very short, the doctor performs a manual examination, after which he prescribes a control ultrasound diagnosis. This process can take varying amounts of time: from several hours to one week.
Remember that the pregnancy certificate has a certain validity period. Usually the document is not issued for more than a month. That is why you should not try to get this form right away. Only use it when you really need it.
Remember that only the expectant mother can receive a legal document. None of the woman’s representatives can count on such a form, since in order to issue it it is necessary to undergo a preliminary examination.
Child's birth document
There is another document that is provided temporarily and has its own validity period. It is called “Certificate of Pregnancy and Childbirth”. This form is issued when a new mother and her baby are discharged from the maternity hospital.
Such a certificate indicates the date of birth of the baby, the first and last name of the mother, the age of the woman in labor and the peculiarities of the course of labor. Such a document may be used before an official birth certificate is obtained. A similar form is also provided to the Pension Fund and the Social Protection Department to receive various benefits and allowances.
If the mother abandoned the child, then such a certificate will not be issued to her. This condition is mandatory and completely legal.
Form and sample of pregnancy certificate
If you need this document, you can apply for it at any medical institution. Even private companies issue this form. However, a state pregnancy certificate (you will see a sample with a stamp below) is more trustworthy for several reasons. This form contains the stamp of the institution and the signature of the chief physician. The sheet also indicates the full name and certificate number of the hospital. If you do not know what form the document is to be filled in, you can look at a sample pregnancy certificate from your gynecologist. In most cases the standard form is used.
Bride in the hospital: how to submit documents to the registry office
Article 26 of Federal Law No. 143-FZ “On Acts of Civil Status” regulates the methods of filing an application for registration of marriage relations:
- in person to the registry office;
- in person to the multifunctional center (MFC);
- online through your personal account on the “Public Services” website.
When sending documents in electronic format, you must present the originals before the wedding procedure.
The legislation provides for the possibility for one of the future spouses to submit two separate applications. The conditions for accepting documents in the event that the bride, for good reason, cannot take part in the procedure, are enshrined in Article 26 of Law No. 143-FZ (clause 2).
Notarization, State Services portal
The easiest way to apply for marriage registration is to fill out the form on the State Services portal. The groom enters information into his part of the application and sends an invitation to the bride, who completes the formalities. At the next stage, the state fee is paid. For non-cash transfers, the portal provides a 30% discount.
However, online contact with the registry office will not work if the expectant mother is in the late stages of pregnancy. The newlyweds will be able to exchange rings only one month after the filling date. This is due to the fact that the electronic application format does not provide for accelerated registration.
The second option for submitting documents by one applicant (groom) is to present a notarized copy. Any notary can certify the application. In addition, if the bride must be under constant medical supervision, employees of the civil registry office go to the hospital to register the future parents.

If you did not manage to register your relationship before you learned about the upcoming birth of a child, now is the time to do it. Moreover, the law in the described situation protects the interests of both the expectant mother and the unborn baby. The marriage registration procedure for such couples has been simplified and accelerated.
How to fill out a pregnancy certificate correctly?
When filling out this document, you must take into account the sample medical certificates about pregnancy. Experienced gynecologists and obstetricians already know what to write in this or that column. Doctors are also provided with a completed form that they can refer to. To enter your personal data, the doctor will need some documents.
Right to registration “in an accelerated mode”
In accordance with the Family Code of the Russian Federation (Article 11), pregnancy is recognized as a “special circumstance”, in the presence of which the couple can be registered directly on the day of filing the application. If the expectant mother and father still want time to prepare the celebration, but the month period seems too long to them, they can take advantage of the right given to them by law and get married before the expiration of this period. Moreover, future newlyweds can declare their right to marry earlier than a month both during the initial visit to the registry office and after the application has already been submitted. For example, young people notified the registry office in writing of their intention to get married, they were given a date for registration in a month, and a short period of time after that the bride finds out about the pregnancy. In this case, if there is a desire and a medical report, the couple will be married before the deadline.
We are already a family!
The fact of pregnancy
After filling out the main fields of the document, the doctor issues his opinion. If a woman is registered as pregnant, it is not difficult for a doctor to make a diagnosis and give recommendations.
When a representative of the fairer sex is in the earliest stages, the doctor indicates all the laboratory tests that made it possible to establish the presence of a fetus in the womb. Such manipulations include: manual examination, diagnostic ultrasound, blood tests, and so on.
It is worth noting that the pregnancy certificate most often does not indicate the due date. However, sometimes this is exactly what the expectant mother needs. If you need to write down your expected due date, be sure to tell your doctor.
Pelevin and Partners
Labor lawyer Pelevin and Partners Pirogova Agnessa Aleksandrovna reviews the personnel documents of pregnant women. What medical documents (certificate or conclusion) are needed for pregnant women to exercise their rights under the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
Clause 2 of Art. 7 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in the Russian Federation protects the labor and health of people, establishes a guaranteed minimum wage, provides state support for the family, motherhood, paternity and childhood, the disabled and elderly citizens, develops a system of social services, establishes state pensions, benefits and other guarantees of social protection .
According to para. 1 tbsp. 254 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, pregnant women, in accordance with a medical report and at their request, have production standards and service standards reduced, or these women are transferred to another job that excludes the impact of adverse production factors, while maintaining the average earnings for their previous job.
A medical report, but drawn up in an arbitrary form, is discussed in paragraphs 12 - 14 of the Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated May 2, 2012 No. 441n “On approval of the procedure for issuing certificates and medical reports by medical organizations” and in paragraph. 2 clause 22 of the Resolution of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of January 28, 2014 No. 1 “On the application of legislation regulating the work of women, persons with family responsibilities and minors.”
a certificate of pregnancy by medical organizations , issued on the basis of the medical record of a patient receiving medical care on an outpatient basis (form No. 025/u), approved by order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated December 15, 2014 No. 834n “On approval of unified forms of medical documentation used in medical organizations providing medical care on an outpatient basis, and procedures for filling them out.”
A certificate of pregnancy is issued on the basis of an individual card of a pregnant woman and a postpartum woman (form 111/у). The individual card of a pregnant and postpartum woman (form 111/u) was approved by Order of the USSR Ministry of Health dated October 4, 1980 No. 1030 “On approval of forms of primary documentation of healthcare institutions”, which has become invalid, but the use in medical organizations of the forms approved by the above Order is recommended by a letter from the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated 11/30/2009 No. 14-6/242888 until the publication of a new album of forms for medical records.
A certificate for women during pregnancy is issued on the letterhead of the medical organization in which the patient was diagnosed with pregnancy and/or dispensary observation for pregnancy was carried out.
Consequently, in conditions of legal uncertainty, the question arises: are the medical report and certificate necessary for women to exercise their rights regulated by the labor legislation of the Russian Federation identical documents?
This issue arose due to the fact that the employer refused to transfer the employee (a pregnant woman) to another job, since the pregnancy certificate submitted by the employee to the employer did not meet the requirements for a medical report to be issued in accordance with Art. Art. 73, 254 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated May 2, 2012 No. 441n, because According to the employer, the certificate submitted by the employee did not contain:
- reasonable conclusions about the presence of medical indications or medical contraindications for the use of medical examination and/or treatment methods for certain types of activities;
- on the compliance of the employee’s health status with the work assigned to him;
- signatures of the members of the medical commission and the head of the medical commission (in the case of a medical opinion issued by the medical commission).
In addition, according to the employer, he has no right to provide guarantees to the employee in the absence of appropriate documents.
However, the St. Petersburg City Court, in its Ruling dated March 11, 2020 in case No. 33-6228/2020, supported the legal position of the district court and the employee, based on the fact that there are no regulations establishing the form of the pregnancy certificate. The certificate is issued in any form (clause 10 of the Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated May 2, 2012 No. 441n) and must contain the following information:
- stamp of a medical organization with details,
- last name, first name and patronymic of the pregnant woman,
- her date of birth,
- place of registration,
- diagnosis,
- date of registration for pregnancy dispensary registration,
- the basis for issuing the certificate (at the place of request),
- signature of the doctor, signature of the head of the antenatal clinic (chief physician or his deputy for medical work),
- seal of the institution.
Thus, in the opinion of the court, the certificate issued by the employee by the medical institution and presented to the employer is properly executed and contains all the necessary details specified in paragraphs 9 and 13 of Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated May 2, 2012 No. 441n.
Based on the above, we can conclude that both the certificate and the medical report are drawn up in any form (clause 10 and clause 14 of the Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated May 2, 2012 No. 441n, respectively) and if the certificate contains the details that are specified in clauses 7 , 9, 10 and 13 of the Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated May 2, 2012 No. 441n “On approval of the procedure for issuing certificates and medical reports by medical organizations,” then, regardless of the name of the document (certificate - medical report), the employer has no right not to accept a medical document and refuse a pregnant woman in the implementation of the rights granted by the labor legislation of the Russian Federation .
Doctor and clinic details
At the very bottom, the doctor must indicate his own data. Here you can get by with your last name and initials. However, you need to write a specialist position. A stamp that the doctor has for personal use is also affixed.
After this, the certificate must be certified by the chief specialist of the hospital. There must be a special column for this. The chief physician indicates his last name and signs. A confirmation stamp with a coat of arms is required. The stamp can be triangular or round in shape.
Alternative filling method
In some cases, the doctor may give you a free form of a certificate. In this case, the doctor does not take into account the samples of this document and enters all the information arbitrarily. Such certificates must include the patient’s last name, first name and patronymic, as well as year of birth. The conclusion and recommendations are immediately made below. Such a certificate must have the stamp of a doctor and a medical institution. It does not matter at all that it is written in free form.
Private clinics also do not adhere to a specific model of this document. Gynecologists and specialists issue a certificate with a similar seal of the doctor and medical institution, as well as all the necessary signatures. However, in this case, you will have to pay a certain amount for the inspection and the provided document. Typically, the average price category for such a service is in the range from 500 to 2000 rubles.
Confirmation of an “interesting situation”
A medical certificate helps confirm the fact of pregnancy. A doctor's report is presented not only when applying to the registry office. A document confirming an “interesting position” will be useful at work (for transfer to easier working conditions) or in an educational institution (for receiving academic leave).
Mandatory information
The pregnancy certificate indicates:
- information about the medical organization (full name, address, telephone);
- personal data of the expectant mother (last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth);
- DS (diagnosis) – approximate pregnancy period;
- place of presentation (registry office);
- Date of preparation.
Mandatory details include information about the specialist, whose signature must appear on the document (position, surname, patronymic name, personal seal).
Validity period of the certificate
The legislation does not provide for a specific period during which a pregnancy certificate is considered valid.
According to general rules, the relevance of health documents depends on the following factors:
- duration of analysis;
- diagnosis and rehabilitation period;
- age.
The pregnancy certificate is valid for the entire period of pregnancy. However, some civil registry offices refuse to register future parents; the document was issued later than 30 days from the date of submission.
Where to get a certificate, who certifies the document
A pregnancy certificate is issued by a gynecologist at a public or private clinic. In the early stages, the necessary certificate is issued after tests or based on the results of the first ultrasound. At a later date, the document is drawn up during a routine inspection.
There are several ways to get a certificate:
- Register with the antenatal clinic at your place of registration.
- Contact the medical institution at your place of actual residence.
- Visit a private clinic.
When visiting a public clinic, you will need a passport, insurance certificate (SNILS) and a compulsory health insurance policy. The conclusion is issued free of charge. Services of a commercial organization are provided on a paid basis.
The certificate is certified by the attending physician and the seal of the medical institution.
What does the sample look like?
The legislation imposes only one requirement on certificates of “interesting position” - a standard form indicating the required details. Medical institutions issue documents in two versions.
The first sample is a regular medical report, which reflects:
- last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth of the expectant mother;
- fact of pregnancy, approximate duration (in weeks);
- the organization to which the certificate is submitted;
- date of issue;
- data from the attending physician.
