Where can I get a citizenship certificate? How to confirm Russian citizenship

In the process of obtaining citizenship for a child, if both of his parents are citizens of Russia and at the same time live in the country, there is nothing complicated. This is a regular procedure that does not require the collection of any additional documents. Another thing is if the child was born in the territory of another state or if one of the parents is a foreigner. Then the situation is a little more complicated.

By law, any child born in Russia, whose parents are citizens of our country, has the right to obtain Russian citizenship. By default, he is already considered a Russian, and in order to reflect this in the documents, only formal confirmation is required.

In fact, confirmation of the child's citizenship is an entry in the parents' passport. In addition, employees of the migration service register the baby's data in their archive and can put the appropriate stamp on the birth certificate.

The law does not oblige parents to confirm the citizenship of an infant within a certain period of time. But this should not be delayed. If there is no entry in the passport, there may be problems with getting into a kindergarten, when applying to a hospital, traveling abroad, and so on. Applying for this service to the local department of the migration service is a matter of minutes, especially since the presentation of a specific package of documents is not required.

In order to confirm the citizenship of the baby and register it with the FMS, the following documents are sufficient:

Parents' passport.
Birth certificate.

You do not need to pay any state duties, and you do not need to write applications.

According to international standards, if a child was born from persons with different citizenship, parents can register him as a citizen of any country to which they belong. Mixed marriages in our time are not uncommon, especially between people from the former Soviet republics, so the issue of obtaining Russian citizenship for a baby born in such a family is relevant.

If the child was born in a Russian family, which for some reason ended up abroad or specially left so that the mother could give birth in a foreign clinic, then the procedure for awarding citizenship to a newborn is similar.

First you need to get a birth certificate in the place where the child was born. Each country issues its own certificates of the established form. It reflects:

When and where was the child born.
What is his name.
Who are his parents.
Who recorded his birth.

The parents then choose : they can apply to the municipality of the city where they live, or directly to the Russian consulate.

If you first go to the local administration, then the algorithm for further actions will be as follows:

Submitting a certificate to the municipality and obtaining a national birth certificate.
Translation of the certificate into Russian.
Certification by a notary of the correctness of the translation.
Delivery of the original certificate and translation to the embassy and obtaining an apostille for the certificate.

If you go directly to the consulate, the procedure is simpler:

Obtaining a certificate from a medical facility and translating it into Russian.
Certification of the translation by a notary.
Apostille at the consulate.
Obtaining a Russian birth certificate at the consulate.

If you do not receive a national or Russian birth certificate for a child, then such a family simply will not be released abroad: they will have nothing to certify the fact of the birth of the baby. A medical certificate is not yet a convincing document.

Citizenship

If, for any reason, the child's parents transfer to Russian citizenship (for example, if they want to work in Russia), then they must apply for citizenship for their baby as well.

Moreover, this is done regardless of whether both parents were originally foreigners or one had Russian citizenship.

To obtain Russian citizenship, a child under 18 will need:

Application in 2 copies in the prescribed form.
Birth certificate (up to 14 years old) or passport (after 14 years old).
Consent of the child to obtain citizenship (after 14 years).
Passport of the parent or parents, citizens of Russia.
Documents that confirm the child's right to reside in the country: a residence permit or residence permit indicating information about the child, an extract from the house book, and so on.
Three photographs 3x4, color or black and white, without a corner (after 6 years).
Receipt of payment of state duty (1000 rubles).

Usually, when applying for citizenship, employees of the migration service offer to undergo fingerprinting to enter the fingerprints of the child and his parents into the database. To refuse this or not is at the discretion of the parents, no one has the right to force this.

Parents are also recognized as LBG and their passports are also invalid. For six months I have been knocking on the thresholds of the FMS and other authorities, trying to confirm. Got rejected several times. What should be my next steps? Answer: Six months ago, it was really difficult to solve your problem, although it was possible. On November 18, 2012 came into force new law, No. 182-FZ, now you and your parents can apply for recognition.

How to verify citizenship

Confirmation of Russian citizenship

The list is set out in paragraph 45 of the "Regulations on the procedure for considering issues of citizenship of the Russian Federation" (approved by Presidential Decree No. 1325 of November 14, 2002).

Recognition of a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation as unreasonably issued and confirmation of citizenship of the Russian Federation

The children of citizens of the Russian Federation were forbidden to require confirmation of citizenship

The ministry told officials not to load the birth certificate with superfluous marks. If both parents are citizens of Russia, the child also becomes one by birth.

In this case, no additional marks in the birth certificate are needed, and the requirements to provide them are illegal. This issue is devoted to the letter, which is called - "On the groundlessness of claiming birth certificates for a child at the age of 14 with marks of citizenship of the Russian Federation."

Login or Register

As if the “red-skinned passport” was not enough for this. And yesterday it became known that the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation recognized such actions as illegal. By law, when replacing a passport, citizens are required to provide only an application, a passport to be replaced, personal photographs and documents confirming the grounds for replacement. As a result, the employees of the Federal Migration Service, guilty of seizing passports, were brought to justice.

Unverified citizenship

At the request of the parents, an entry about the nationality of the parents (one of the parents) can be made in the birth certificate. 06 October 2014, 15:50 Have a question for a lawyer?

Refusal to confirm Russian citizenship

I submitted a request/application for confirmation (through the passport agency), but received a negative response. In February 1992, I lived in a zone of armed conflict on the territory of Russia; archives confirming this are lost. Those. the official answer is this: we cannot confirm your citizenship (and not this: you are not a citizen of Russia). Do you think they will give me Russian visa as a citizen of the United States or they will fool their heads, claiming that I am still a citizen of Russia. Why won't they let you into Russia with your old passport? If you have grown up.

For a child

Moreover, it is simply necessary to do this even if both parents have already received new passports that do not provide for a record of children. Registration The question is how to apply for citizenship of a newborn in 2016. affects not only the algorithm of necessary actions, but also different possibilities provided by modern Russian legislation.

If the employees of the Federal Migration Service (now the Ministry of Internal Affairs) could not establish the fact of permanent residence.

I support my colleagues, first you need to apply to the Russian court at the last place of registration (registration) with an application to establish the fact of permanent residence in the territory of the Russian Federation from birth until the moment of departure. Documentary evidence in the case can be any Russian documents: an expired passport, employment history, student card, i.e. everything that has been preserved. It would be nice to have a couple of witnesses. For legal representation in Russia, you can issue a consular power of attorney and send it to the authorized person by mail.
