The birth of a baby certainly brings enormousjoy for young parents and all relatives. However, after the first storm of emotions passes, it is necessary to ensure that the baby becomes a full-fledged citizen, it is necessary to understand the main questions:

• What is the birth certificate of the child?
• Why do you need a birth certificate for a child?
• What documents other than a birth certificate can a baby need?
• Where can I get a duplicate of the birth certificate if the main document is lost?

First, let's look at the question - where to get a birth certificate for a child and what is this document?

A birth certificate is issued on the basis ofFederal Law of 15.11.1997 (amended 05.04.2010) "On Acts of Civil Status", adopted by the State Duma of the Russian Federation on October 22, 1997. Previously, birth certificates were made in the form of small booklets, today it is a regular A4 page, equipped with watermarks, having a series and a number. Filling out a birth certificate can be done either by hand or by machine (computers, typewriters). If the document is filled out by hand, the text must be written in blue or black paste (ink) and legible. If machine typesetting is used, the dye must be only black (according to the legislation of the Russian Federation) and ensure color rendition throughout the entire service life of the document. When you come to receive a birth certificate, you must pay special attention to the above points. A state birth certificate must be obtained within the first two months from the date of birth of the baby, since after the expiration of the term the law on violation of registration rules comes into force. The issuance of certificates and registration of newborn children is handled by the civil registry office (ZAGS). The birth certificate must be signed by the head of the office with a signature transcript (name, surname). Registration is carried out at the place of residence of the parents. The child's surname is entered according to the surname of one of the parents (by agreement of the parents). The baby's name is also given by mutual agreement of the mother and father. And according to the father's name, the child is assigned a patronymic. A single mother can, at her own discretion, choose a patronymic for the child. The child's nationality is entered at the request of the parents. When registering the citizenship of a newborn, a stamp is placed on the back of the certificate indicating affiliation with a particular state.

We turn to the question - how to get a birth certificate?

In order to obtain a certificate ofbirth, you must write and submit an application to the registry office. This should be done within the first month from the baby's date of birth. The following must be attached to the application:

• a certificate from the medical institution where the child was received, confirming the fact of the appearance of the child;
• passports of parents (single mother only to attach her passport);
• documents certifying paternity (not medical): marriage certificate, court decision, etc .;
• a receipt for tax payment (if paternity was established).

If the parents are legally married, thenthe application can be submitted by either of them. In this case, information about the father is taken from the marriage certificate, and information about the mother is entered from the medical certificate of birth of the child. If the parents are not officially married, then both of them must appear at the registry office to submit the application. In the event that the presence of one of the parents is impossible for a valid reason (business trip, illness), then the other parent should submit an application from the absent parent, certified by a notary seal. If the child's mother is not officially married to the father, then she will be issued a birth certificate for the child, in which the baby will have her last name, and the patronymic that the mother herself has chosen. At the request of the mother, a note about the father may not be made, unless, of course, there was a court decision according to which the registry office employee is obliged to enter the data of the second parent. A mother who is not a citizen of Russia and is not married, in order to receive a birth certificate, should present a document characterizing her marital status. In the event that neither parent can appear at the registry office, an application for birth registration may be submitted by an authorized employee of a medical institution (maternity hospital) or a close relative of one of the parents, who must have an identity document and a notarized power of attorney from the parents of the newborn.

What other documents are needed for the baby?

After the child's birth certificatereceived, you should register the baby in your city. To do this, parents need to apply to the passport office for registration of citizens at their place of residence and submit the following documents:

• a certificate of birth of a child and a photocopy in duplicate;
• passports of parents and their photocopies;
• certificate of marriage and also his photocopy.

In the event that the parents are registered at different addresses, the newborn is registered at the place of registration of one of them. In this case, additional documents must be submitted:

• certificate from the place of registration of the second parent;
• written consent of the father or mother for the registration of the child's registration.

Usually the process of registration at the place of residencetakes two weeks, after which you receive a certificate of registration of the child and can deal with his citizenship. To receive an insert stating that the child is a citizen of the Russian Federation, parents must appear at the passport and visa service of the Department of Internal Affairs (UVD) at the place of registration with the following documents:
