Registration of a minor child at the place of residence is carried out. It is considered a violation of the regulations and rules of registration if children are registered at one address but live at a different address. This creates a lot of questions when receiving social assistance, medical assistance, when enrolling a child in kindergarten or school, and others.
Residence and registration at the same address of a minor makes it possible to enjoy social benefits without hindrance.
The result of permanent registration for an adult is a stamp in the civil passport, and for a child - on his birth certificate. If a child needs to be registered temporarily, for example, to move to another city or region of Russia for a certain time, then at the place of stay he, like an adult, will be issued a temporary certificate. There is no need to leave your permanent place of residence.
If the parents admit that the child lives without registration, they will be held administratively liable in accordance with the Administrative Code, Art. 19.15, parts 1–2. Fines range from 2 to 3 thousand rubles. in the regions and from 5 to 7 thousand rubles. in large cities and the capital, you will also still have to register a minor.

Why is it needed and what is important to know
Registration of minors is an important issue not only for them, the parents, but for other family members who may already live in the living space where the children are planned to be registered.
The rights of minors are protected by the state, therefore, after permanent and sometimes temporary registration, it will not be so easy to discharge a child. Often, when owners, for various reasons and legally, discharge children and parents, the latter manage to restore the child’s registration through the court, and then register with him again.
Registering a minor or a newborn has many nuances, but it is easy to do if you have the documents.
Registration will be associated with various moments of a child’s life until he reaches the age of 14 and the age of majority (18 years), but there are also erroneous opinions, for example:
- Many people believe that obtaining a health insurance policy without registration will cause difficulties for parents. But Law No. 326 (11/19/10) states that the insurance company does not have the right to refuse a newborn or older child if he is not registered anywhere at the moment.
- How can I receive child benefits at my place of residence? You just need to indicate the address where the child lives, even if he is not registered there. The benefit is due in any case; no one has the right to deprive the mother and child of assistance. But when receiving a subsidy, the child will be counted not where he lives, but where he is registered, just like an adult.
- Getting medical care. As a rule, the child is served in the clinic at the place of residence, but in order to be registered in the medical record, they will be required to enter the real registration address. Medical care for a child without registration cannot be denied.
- Entering a kindergarten or school without registration is not prohibited, but in most cases the administration of a general education institution will require registration information. It is important for management to know where the child and his parents are registered. When various situations arise, it is important to find parents or relatives.
- A woman will be able to receive maternity capital only if she and the child are registered.
- The procedure for privatizing a municipal apartment requires that only those registered in it participate in the procedure. Therefore, even if the situation develops in such a way that the child will live in another place, but it is possible to register him in municipal housing, which has not yet been privatized, this must be done.
Depending on the situation, parents need to remember if:
- the child is registered only with the father, then the mother’s permission, certified by a notary, will be required;
- the newborn is registered at the mother’s registered address, permission from the father is not required;
- children are registered in residential premises that do not belong to them or their parents; the permission of the owner (co-owners) is not required;
- According to housing standards, there is not enough square footage in the premises. m., the child will still be registered;
- the parent is registered in his share of the apartment or house, and it is small, the child will be registered with him anyway;
- the child will need to be discharged to a different address during his life, then upon departure he will have to be indicated, i.e., minor children cannot be discharged “to nowhere” or to a residential area of a smaller cubic capacity.
Consent form for child registration
Main parts and their order
The procedure for registering a child is carried out in the same way as for an adult, but still, other documents must be prepared to complete it, and how and where the parents can register him will depend on the age of the minor.
Law and age restrictions
The legislator states that registration is mandatory for both adults and children. Registration Rules No. 713 (07/17/95, new edition 02/15/16) states that registration must be done within a week from the date of departure from the previous address.
The Law on freedom of movement of citizens within the Russian Federation and the opportunity to choose their place of residence No. 5242-I (07.25.93) does not say that a newborn must be registered within the same time frame. It is set to 30 days. During this time, parents must obtain a birth certificate.
The place of residence is considered to be the residential premises where the child is permanently located. Place of stay – premises where he can stay for more than 3 months. A child under the age of 14 can be registered only with one of the parents or both at the address of their permanent or temporary registration. The parents choose the place of registration of the child by mutual consent; if the issue cannot be resolved peacefully, then according to the IC, Art. 65 it is decided by the court.
Starting from the age of 14, having received a passport, a child may express a desire to register at a different address where the parents are not registered, but in order to register, they must give their written consent. In this case, the consent of the owner of the premises will also be required, who at the same time must be a close relative, for which a document will be required.
For example, to enter and study at a technical school or university, a child can temporarily register in a dormitory. But the consequences of such registration are such that you will have to live there - this is the main condition. For this purpose, parents and the hostel owner give their consent.
Without the permission of the parents, a child can register in another place, according to the UK - starting from the age of 16, and according to the provisions of the Civil Code - from the age of 18. But in such cases, he will need to have the consent of the owners of the premises or those registered in it. Cases where a child may be registered other than at the place of registration of the parents are controlled by a court decision or a guardianship authority.
For example, parents are deprived of their rights, the child is in the care of the state and lives in an orphanage, boarding school, etc. If, for example, a minor child owns real estate, the parents cannot register him alone in it; both of them or one of them will have to register there.
Mortgage agreements usually contain a ban on anyone being allowed to occupy the premises until the loan is repaid. A family that purchased residential premises on credit may encounter this problem.
Registration of a child’s registration in an apartment that is mortgaged or under arrest is almost impossible, despite the fact that one of the parents may be registered there. They will be able to live there, but will have to register elsewhere, regardless of whether the child was born before signing the mortgage agreement or after.
Sample application for registration of a newborn
Required documents
In the organization that will carry out the registration procedure, parents will be required to be present; if they are divorced or in a civil marriage, then the documents can be submitted by the one with whom the child is registered.
You must submit:
- parents' civil passports;
- marriage certificate or divorce certificate; in case of a civil marriage, such documents will not be available;
- a statement from one of the parents with whom the child is registered;
- an application from the second parent who gives his consent to the child’s registration in a premises where he is not registered (it will not be required if the parents are registered at the same address);
- child's birth certificate;
- permission from the mother to register the child, certified by a notary, if he is registered only with the father;
- a certificate of family composition or an extract from the house register; in case of registration in a private house, the book itself will be required.
A certificate from the housing office from the mother or father will be added to the list of basic papers, indicating that the child is not registered with her (him). It is needed when a child older than 1 month is registered. When the child has been discharged for registration at a different address, you will need to submit a departure form. This document is considered valid only for a month.
If the marriage is not registered and the father is not indicated on the birth certificate, but registration is to be issued for him, then it will be necessary to obtain a certificate from the registry office establishing paternity. Otherwise, an adoption certificate will be required.
If the issue of place of registration has been resolved through the court, then it is necessary to submit its decision. When a child over 14 years old is registered, his passport and personal presence will be required, he also fills out an application himself and asks to register him at a particular address, indicating his father or mother.
All documents must be submitted in originals and copies. In individual cases, a government agency employee may request other documents. For example, to register a child in a country house or dacha, it is necessary to provide documents that the premises are not just residential, but can be lived in all year round.
General points of the procedure
Filling out an application and submitting documents for registration cannot be carried out by persons other than parents, and even on the basis of a power of attorney. If the child is or has been admitted to a special institution (orphanage, orphanage, boarding school, home for disabled children, etc.), then this issue is dealt with by its employee with the permission of the guardianship authority.
If a child stays for a long time in a medical institution (hospital) or, for example, in a boarding house for treatment (rehabilitation), registration is still carried out by his legal representative.
To register a child, parents can choose:
| Municipal apartment |
|
| Privatized housing | If the child is registered after privatization, after the premises have become private, during registration you can separate the share for the minor. This can be done by one of the parents or another family member who owns part of the living space. |
| Private premises - apartment, house |
|
Registration at the place of stay
It should be noted that established judicial practice usually does not recognize the right of tenants (tenants) to obtain registration at the place of residence, indicating that they use residential premises on the basis of lease agreements concluded for a certain period. Thus, the ruling of the Sverdlovsk Regional Court dated January 12, 2012 in case No. 33-102/2012 stated that the request for recognition of the right to permanent registration at the place of residence was rightfully refused, since the plaintiff lives in a private housing stock on the basis of a commercial agreement hiring, which is why he has the right only to temporary registration, since the residential premises are not a place of permanent residence for him, but a place of stay.
- identification document;
- application in the established form for registration at the place of residence;
- a document that is the basis for the temporary residence of a citizen in the specified residential premises (lease (sublease) agreements, social tenancy of residential premises, a certificate of state registration of the right to residential premises or an application from the person providing the citizen with residential premises).

Registration of the child at the place of residence of the parent
If the legislator allows a minor to be registered with only one of the parents, then it does not matter what decision they make. It is most important that the child lives at this address.
What most often happens is that a family does not have its own apartment and lives in a rented apartment for many years. In fact, every parent registers with their relatives, so today registration of a child at the place of residence of the guardian or parents is the norm for modern Russian families.
Father
A family can live together, the parents are married, but this does not mean that they are both registered in the same living space. For example, a woman may be from out of town and remain registered with her parents, living in her husband’s apartment.
In another case, the family rents housing, but decided to register the child with the father. None of this is an obstacle to registering a child. They both come to the government agency and submit documents for registration.
If there is a civil marriage, and the father is not indicated in the paternity column of the birth certificate, and he does not agree to issue a certificate of paternity, then the mother will not be able to register the child at his place of registration without judicial intervention.
By filing a lawsuit, she will have to prove that this particular man is the father of the child. But in any case, if the father wants to register the child with him, and the mother does not give her consent, he will not be able to do this even through the court.
The father will not be able to register the child if he:
- deprived of parental rights;
- is in prison;
- I applied for temporary registration, but it has already expired;
- was evicted from the premises by a court for various reasons;
- owns a micro-share in a residential building and cannot register himself;
- in other individual situations.
Mother
The mother and father can decide that the child will be registered at the place of registration of the mother. This could be her property, a room in a communal apartment, her parents’ apartment or a rented home.
The father has the right to express his disagreement and file a lawsuit if, for example, he proves that the mother leads an immoral lifestyle. He can ask the court to make a decision on the registration and residence of the child with him, unless, of course, they are divorced. In another case, the mother was deprived of parental rights, the child cannot live with her and be registered.
If there are no obstacles, then the mother does not even need to provide the father’s written permission, certified by a notary. It will be enough for him to be present together with his mother at the government agency when submitting documents and applications. When they decide to register a newborn child with the mother, within a month she can even do it on her own.
If the parents have filed for divorce and the mother needs to re-register the child at a different address, she can do this on her own, provided that the child lives with her and she is his guardian.

Is the presence of the mother required?
Both parents must be present at the time of application. This rule applies to registering a child under 14 years of age. If the minor already has a passport, he needs to appear in person.
The consent and presence of the mother is not required if:
- she was deprived of parental rights;
- she lives at the same address as the child’s father;
- missing or dead;
- does not have Russian citizenship.
Do I need the consent of the owner and other residents?
Registration of a minor child without the consent of the landlord is permissible when:
- The father is registered on the premises.
- The father is the owner of the property and is not against registering the child with him.
If a FMS specialist refuses to register a child and requires permission from the homeowner, ask for a written refusal and go to court.
Registration of children with a father is possible if he has a residence permit and agrees to take them to his territory. To do this, collect a package of documents and submit it to the authorized organization.
Sequence of actions
Having legal grounds for registering a child, parents can appear in person to submit documents or submit an application through the State Services website.
For personal appeal, the legislator indicates several government agencies that can be found at the place of residence:
- MFC;
- Passport Office;
- Housing and communal services;
- FMS.
Registration is carried out by the FMS and its territorial branches, but when submitting documents to any of the listed organizations, you should understand that they are intermediaries. A government agency employee is obliged to advise the applicant, accept documents and electronically transfer them to the FMS. Documents are accepted against signature, upon completion of registration of the parents’ passports and the certificate is returned. Other papers are accepted in copies.
Thanks to the large number of MFCs around the country with convenient working hours, parents do not need to stand in line at the passport office or housing and communal services; the issue can be resolved through a “single window”. Parents themselves must choose where to go, depending on which department is closest to their place of residence.
If adults decide to apply through State Services, they will first have to register on the site and gain access to their Personal Account. Then you should submit an application electronically and copies of the necessary documents, which will have to be scanned in advance. After receiving an invitation to your Personal Account, you will need to go to one of the MFC or FMS branches.
In fact, the child’s legal representatives must perform several actions in turn:
- find out which government agency’s territorial office is located nearby and visit it;
- find out what documents are needed in their situation to register a child;
- collect a package of papers, you will need originals and photocopies;
- on the reception day and working hours, go to the government agency;
- fill out an application and submit other papers;
- On the appointed day, come for the child’s passports and certificate.
