But in order for this little man to become a real member of society and a citizen of his country, Dad and Mom must take care and in time to issue citizenship to the newborn baby.

Parents need to understand that only the born man requires constant attention, it cannot be left alone. It is not always possible to go outside with a baby or entrust the baby to grandmothers. At this time, walk on instances, to learn what documents to prepare, becomes burdensome.

Is it possible to live without definition

Unfortunately, in Russian legislation, there are enough difficulties and inactive citizenship. In different life situations, it may arise about the design of this important status. Therefore, attentive parents get acquainted with the documents you need to get, find out which forms required to fill, and other subtleties.

The Federal Law on Citizenship in Russia, adopted on 05/31/2002, provides for the obligatory citizenship to persons with the achievement of 14 years of age. Prior to this, the law was accepted, adopted on November 28, 1991. When making a child of this status, both laws should be taken into account, in particular, Article 4, Ch.7 (2002) and Article 14.15 (1991).

While the child is small, the parents decide for him for him

The child can safely live without issuing a citizen under 14, when he needs a passport. Recently, some 30 years ago, we all automatically become citizens of the Soviet Union. Now we are given the opportunity to independently define, a citizen of which country we want to become.

By and large, the question of status may occur only when the child reaches 14 years. But obtaining this status is necessary in other cases:

  • sometimes this question is rising for the first time when making a certificate for maternity capital;
  • if you need to record a child in your passport;
  • if you take a baby with you to rest or on other cases abroad;
  • when the baby receives a passport;
  • when the crumb will grow up, with a device in kindergarten or other educational institutions;
  • when you need to register a child at accommodation;
  • when a teenager is 14 years old, when receiving a passport of the Russian Federation.

The experience of everyday life shows that all sorts of documents that may be needed throughout life, it is better to issue in advance. Thanks to the legislators, the procedures for obtaining documents and citizenship simplified. Now it takes less information confirming references as it was in Soviet times. But the laws are constantly changing, which will be required tomorrow, we do not know. Weighing all the nuances, we conclude that it is better to make documents right away.

Registration of citizenship

Although the procedure for obtaining citizens is recently simplified, the following documents will be required.


If the baby was born in Russia, he automatically becomes a citizen of this country. But there are cases when it is necessary to confirm citizenship: for example, when parents are driven by a child abroad, as well as when receiving maternal capital

  • Birth certificate indicating where, when, in the presence of some kind of childbirth and the floor of the newborn. This certificate is valid for a month, it is submitted to the registry office to receive a child's birth certificate.
  • In the registry office no later than the month of birth, Pad and Mom passports are provided, marriage certificate, a certificate of birth of a child. If the childbirth was homework, a statement from a person who has taken childbirth or present at the same time.
  • For registration, go to the District UFMS with passports and the birth certificate of the baby. It is not necessary to go there with the whole family, just one, for example, dads with documents. You write a statement about the adoption of citizenship by the newborn. Specialist of the Migration Department in the first children's document, birth certificate, puts the child a mark that he is a citizen of the Russian Federation.
  • Here you register, that is, insertion, baby at the place of residence.
  • Russian children born abroad are registered in the Russian consulates of countries in which childbirth occurred.

Russian citizen

If at least one of the parents is a citizen of Russia, the newborn, even born abroad, has the right to receive Russian citizenship. Therefore, a foreigner's parent, a citizen of another country, gives written consent that he is not against the Russian citizenship of the child. Consent is certified by a notarized employee.

At the same time, parents should hurry with the definition and receipt of Russian citizenship, otherwise the baby will receive a person's status without citizenship - Apadrid. And the man without his homeland can not count on the protection of the state.

In fact, the kids get the citizenship of parents. If the parents of the kid have no citizenship, but have a residence permit in the Russian Federation, the newborn receives the citizenship of Russia.

Complicating circumstances

In the adoption of citizenship, situations may arise that complicate the design procedure.

  • If parents are divorced and one, more often, the father does not come to the registry office and does not provide a passport, lawyers advise the second parent, more often, to apply, that it does not know the location of the former spouse. After consideration of the application, the design is performed in the presence of only one parent.
  • If, let's say, Mom is a citizen of Russia, and dad ─ another country, the citizenship of the newborn, they determine the joint agreement certified by the notary. Consent is submitted in writing.
  • If the baby was born not in the Russian Federation, then a certificate will need a certificate that the state in which the childhood occurred refuses him to receive citizenship of this state.
  • If one or both parents are not citizens of the Russian Federation, there will be a certificate of the absence of citizenship and residence permit in this country.

Subtleties of the procedure

It happens that disagreements arise in the migration service about the execution of not only civil status, but also other important documents. So, there were cases when they refused to make a birth certificate to raise citizenship. Motivate that such a stamp is not required. Therefore, parents better know the subtleties procedure for issuing citizenship.

In a good, newborn is provided with the right under any circumstances to obtain such citizenship that his parents possess. In many countries, this is called "right blood".
