Registration of the citizenship of the Russian Federation for children under 14 years old: how and where it can be done

Many parents of young children do not even think about the fact that their children who have emerged in the cities and weights of the Russian Federation do not become citizens of their country only on the fact of their birth. However, in practice, the citizenship of the Russian Federation for children under 14 makes it possible to implement some necessary and important procedures. Russian legislation has introduced this feature since 2002, and such design has become a mandatory element. At the same time, the procedure has some differences depending on the category to which children relate. We propose to consider them in more detail.

To begin with, consider those points that explain why you need to get the citizenship of the Russian Federation before reaching the age of 14 years.

• Firstly, such status is necessary for a child under 14 years living in the territory of the Russian Federation, in order to freely get the internal Russian passport after reaching this age.
• Secondly, the parents whose children do not have it, they will not be able to leave them to another country, as they will not be able to enter their data into their passport or to arrange their own document certifying.
• The third item concerns the Regulations on the earliest documentary immediately after the birth of the baby. This is due to the fact that if the newborn will not have marks about the citizenship of the Russian Federation, his mother will not be able to qualify for maternal capital. If the child was even born abroad, but received the civil status of the Russian Federation, this makes it possible to take advantage of such a right.
• In addition to the above provisions, citizenship to children under 14 may be needed in such cases as registration or registration in an educational institution. Other cases that do not contradict legislation may also be taken into account.

Thus, obtaining a citizen's status is a necessary element and facilitates further relations with the administrative authority.

Registration of status for newborns

In the nearby past, namely until 2007, when making a birth certificate, a special liner was pasted, which determines the citizenship of the newborn. To date, the procedure is issued, as they say "by default", and the mark on obtaining the name of the status is affixed on the reverse side of the birth certificate. Children born after 2007 receive a stamp in the federal migration service under the simplified scheme, which we suggest considering.

To get this mark you need to act, following a specific algorithm.

1. To begin with, the birth certificate should be obtained in the medical institution in which childbirth happened. It necessarily indicates the gender, time of birth, as well as comprehensive information about medical personnel who took the birth and details of the maternity hospital. During domestic birth, those present on them face also record this data in a special statement. This document must be issued within a month after the date of birth.
2. On the same time (1 month), it is necessary to submit an application for the issuance of a birth certificate. His feed is accompanied by the provision of such official papers as a passport of parents, a marriage certificate, a birth certificate from the hospital or a statement of those who attended the birth of the house.
3. The final stage is the immediate execution of documents for the civil status of the Russian Federation in the nearest FMS branch. It lies in the fact that you need to visit the migration service and submit the following documents there:
4. certificate of the birth of a child;
5. passports of both parents or only one of them, in the event of a failure of another child or divorce. Then it will be necessary to write a statement with an explanation of the reason that the documents submit one of the parents.

After familiarization with the documents submitted on the reverse side of the birth certificate, representatives of the migration service immediately put a stamp on the citizenship of the Russian Federation. As a rule, the recruitment to the service is not required.

There are no deadlines to appeal to the FMS, however, as mentioned earlier, since the procedure for issuing citizenship of the Russian Federation for children under 14 years old is needed, it is better to do so immediately after their appearance. In some cases, when, for example, parents managed to illuminate birth certificate and put a mark in it. It is impossible, the document will have to change and only after that get a stamp in the migration service.

In cases where the child under the age of 14 has the status of orphans and is under guardianship, the statement of registration of citizenship of the Russian Federation is submitted by a legal representative of children. The law will assign a ten-day deadline for this. At the same time, the guardian himself must be a citizen of Russia.

If the orphan child has not yet been installed on the child, the status of a citizen of the Russian Federation will be assigned automatically.

Features of paperwork for other categories of children

If parents have citizenship of different countries, for children it is determined by their mutual agreement and is notarized. The decision is then submitted to the migration service and the citizenship of the child is issued.

In the case when parents have refugee status, for providing citizenship to children under 14 years old, such factors are taken into account as the presence of a residence permit or temporary residence permit in Russia. In each case, individual circumstances of such a family can be considered.

When the child's birth outside of Russia, parents must submit a certificate to the migration service that they refuse to provide a child of the country's citizenship.

For those children who were born until July 2002, and for various circumstances did not receive before reaching the age of 14 years and still does not have the citizenship of the Russian Federation, the necessary document to arrange it, will be a certificate of confirming the status of a Russian citizen by their parents at the time of birth.

Speaking about such adolescents, it should be remembered that the legislative acts provide for the consideration of the issues if the parents themselves were still children at that time and did not have Russian passports. There are options to lose or replace documents. Such challengers as confirming documents of residence in Russia, you can use extracts from house books or labor books, you can also show a military ID. In any case, representatives of the migration service are obliged to consider and make a decision individually.
