What gives to get citizenship to babies and how to get it

Not all parents are thinking about whether the citizenship of Russia needs to make a newborn child. This is not so important if both parents have citizenship of the Russian Federation, but without determining the citizenship of the baby it is impossible to issue maternity capital.

By default, the child's belonging to Russia's citizenship is determined at the place of residence of the parents and the corresponding stamp is set in the birth certificate.

At the legislative level, the registration of citizenship of the Russian Federation for a newborn baby has become a mandatory procedure since 2002. Previously, at the birth of a child, a special investment was issued in a birth certificate. Without him, the child was difficult to get a passport when the age reached the age of 14 or fit into the passport of the parents. Now the procedure for obtaining citizenship has been much simplified.

The topic of our article is the procedure for obtaining citizenship for just born children, determining the necessary documents and subtlety of the procedure for various categories of newborns.

Why do you need to make citizenship of the newborn?

Receiving citizenship to children under 14 years old is not a mandatory procedure, without it it is easy to do and the fines for this are not provided. The question arises to the pencil when receiving a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, without information about the citizenship of the child, it is not issued.

However, there are a number of reasons for which it is not worth tightening with it, since without assigning a child of the Russian citizenship is impossible:

• Go with him abroad;
• Make a mark about him in the passport of parents;
• Issue maternity capital;
• Get a foreign passport for a child up to 14 years old and internal passport of the Russian Federation since 14 years;
• Register at the place of residence (there are reservations);
• Arrange a kindergarten or educational institution.

Among the documentary evidence of the citizenship of the child, born to the exit of the law, 1.07.2002, allocate:

• Abroad passport of the parent with a marker about the citizenship of the child;
• The passport of the child;
• Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• Certificate of birth with a liner or a stamp of citizenship.

The child has the right to receive citizenship of the Russian Federation, regardless of whether he was born in Russia or abroad, under the following conditions:

• Both parents or one of them are citizens of Russia;
• If one of the parents is a foreigner, and another has a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. If it does not arrange newborn citizenship on time, it may be assigned the status of a stateless person;
• If one of the parents is a citizen of the Russian Federation, and the second is a stateless person or recognized as a court decision or without missing.

Conditions for obtaining citizenship of the Russian Federation, if the child appeared in Russia:

• One parent is a foreigner, another - a citizen of Russia;
• Both parents constantly live in Russia and have the status of individuals without citizenship;
• Both parents live in the Russian Federation and are foreign citizens, and their country's citizenship is not issued to the child.

In art. 14, 25 and 26 of the Basic Law of the Russian Federation on citizenship recorded the grounds for which newborn children can receive citizenship of the Russian Federation under a simplified scheme.

You can arrange citizenship for a newborn at any time, the law does not provide for specific deadlines. We divide the procedure for 3 stages:

1. Creating a medical institution in which childbirth occurred, child birth certificates. It indicates information about the field of the child, birth time, the data on doctors and the full name of the maternity hospital.

At home from all participants in the event you need to write a written application where the sex of the child will be indicated and the time of appearance. Such documents need to be issued strictly until the child's age is reached.

2. Harvesting a birth certificate. An application for certificate is submitted to the district registry office until the child reaches the age of one month. The application is applied:

• Passport of one or both parents;
• If parents are in marriage - marriage certificate;
• Help on the birth of a child or statement of those who participated in the childbirth;
• Application for the issuance of a birth certificate (link to download at the end of the article).

3. The stamp on citizenship in the birth certificate. To do this, the nearest branch serves:

• Certificate of the birth of a child;
• Passports of both parents. If the parents are divorced and one of them refused the child, then the second writes a statement about this and gives only his passport.

After receiving documents, a migration service specialist puts on the reverse side of the birth certificate for the child of citizenship.

Attention

The procedure does not require much time and the stamp often put at the first visit to the FMS.

If the child was born until July 1, 2002 and for some reason, Russia has not yet received, for registration of citizenship in the FMS bodies, a statement will be required to confirm the fact of the establishment of Russian citizenship at the parents at the time of his birth.

For children who are orphans or are installed on them, they have no citizenship of the Russian Federation, the legal guardian must apply on the relevant procedure. It will be necessary to write a written application to the UFMS authority. This is only possible when the guardian himself has a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation. The maximum date of the stamp in the birth certificate is set in 10 days.

In special cases, for the stamp stamp in the birth certificate, the document will be replaced. For example, if parents managed to ill. In this case, put a stamp impossible.

Receiving citizenship by newborns, whose parents have refugee status, occurs taking into account legislative requirements and specific conditions. It takes into account the presence of permission for temporary residence per month or a residence permit, the lack of a ban on the assignment of citizenship of the Russian Federation by the native state of the parents.

Attention

If the child remained orply and the care of relatives or other persons is not installed on it, the status of a Russian citizen is assigned automatically.

When the parents of the child have citizenship of different countries, the issue of citizenship of the newborn baby is solved by mutual agreement. The decision of the parents should be issued in writing and in the presence of a notary. This decisions are provided in the migration service to consolidate the citizenship of the child.

Until 2007, newborns received a special investment in the Certificate of Birth as confirmation. Now he was replaced by a stamp, which is raised on the reverse order of the document. Change the liner on the stamp born until 2007 is not required.
