A birth certificate is the main, but not the only important document that is recommended to be issued before the child is 14 years old. Not many people understand the importance of confirming the indigenat, and in addition, they know where to get the insert about the citizenship of the Russian Federation of the child, the purpose of its registration and whether it will be useful to the guardians in the future.

The personal data of the newborn are indicated in the birth certificate. Information about the citizenship of the baby is not contained in the certificate, since the procedure for assigning the status is not decided by the registry office employees who issue this document, and depends on many factors.

The confirmation procedure is important for the further possibility of obtaining a passport by the offspring at the age of 14, for the mother to issue maternity capital, as well as for possible travel abroad and issuance of a children's international passport until the child who has not reached the age of majority receives a full-fledged national passport. It is also impossible to fill it with data in the column in the parents' passport about children for a trip abroad without confirming the status of the baby.

If there is no desire to draw up maternity capital or travel abroad, you can confirm the citizenship of the baby at any time convenient for parents / guardians until the moment when the person needs an internal passport of the Russian Federation. Then it will be necessary to confirm citizenship.

There is no set time frame for parents to invest in order to obtain proof of status. There are no sanctions for them if they missed the procedure in question. Making an insert is necessary first of all for a person to receive a national passport in the future.

Confirmation methods

We can talk about 2 methods, one of which was used only until 2007, and the second - at the present time. Firstly, this is the design of the insert and, secondly, the stamping. So, if Russian citizenship was granted to the applicant before the beginning of 2007, an insert to the certificate was issued as an assurance of this procedure. If the status was assigned later than the specified date, the person was stamped in the birth certificate.

The insert could be issued at the FMS department (since 2016 - the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs). You can also affix a stamp at the department of the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the region where the citizen lives. Is it possible to put a stamp on the child's citizenship at the MFC? Yes, today a stamp can also be obtained at the My Documents (MFC) offices.

How to get a mark on the certificate

So, a stamp in the birth certificate of the child’s citizenship is affixed either at the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or at the My Documents Public Services Center, if the interested persons have a copy and original of the child’s birth certificate, copies and originals of their passports. An employee of the department enters the necessary information about the child into the passports of the applicants, then into his database, and then puts a stamp on the assignment of an indigenat to the person in his main document. The operation does not take much time and is carried out without paying the state fee, i.e. free of charge.

The procedure can be carried out by only one parent if he is an indigenous person of the Russian Federation and registers his offspring in his real estate. The presence of the second is not necessary, however, he will be required to provide a receipt in which he agrees to receive the registration of the child at the specified address.

If one of the parents does not have citizenship in the Russian Federation, but the child was born here, from a foreign citizen, in addition to the original of his passport, a notarized translation of this document will be required. Single parents provide only their internal national passports without any additional documents. No documents are required from a parent without the status of a citizen of the Russian Federation, and for the confirmation procedure, only the passport of the Russian Federation of the second of them is submitted to the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

How to get a citizenship insert for a birth certificate? Inserts to the certificate were issued to applicants only until 2007. After this procedure was replaced by stamping. Owners who once received indigenate inserts may not affix additional stamps, since this document is quite enough to prove, if necessary, the fact that a person has been granted citizenship of the Russian Federation.

What does the document look like

The assignment stamp is placed in the left corner on the back side of the main document of a child under 14 years old. Its size is 4 by 6 cm. The stamp contains information about the article on the basis of which the status was assigned to the person, and data about the competent authority that issued it. The stamp indicates the date of granting citizenship and the signature of the authorized person.

What does the insert about the citizenship of the child look like? Having confirmed the status of the offspring until 2007, the parents become the owners of a document in the form of an A4 sheet, which contains the name of the baby, information on granting him Russian citizenship from a specific date on the basis of a specific article. The date of issue of the insert is also indicated on the document.

Birth of a child abroad

Born abroad, it is assigned at the consulate. For this, newly-made parents provide their passports, a certificate from the maternity hospital, as well as its translation, previously certified by a notary. Also, at the consulate, parents can fill in the information in their passports about the presence of their offspring, and in addition, issue a passport for him. If a foreign birth certificate was issued for a newborn, you can not receive a similar Russian-style document at the consulate, but leave the existing one and apply with it for the assignment of Russian civil status.

Until what age do you need to confirm

The legislation of the Russian Federation does not oblige parents to apply for confirmation of the assignment of civil status within a certain time frame. However, it will be needed in case of traveling with a child abroad, when applying for a mother's capital and when a person receives a passport at the age of 14. The official assignment of the status is voluntary and optional, except in the cases indicated above. Those who miss the described procedure cannot be fined or punished by any other legal methods.
