Registration of citizenship to the child: procedure

Now the registration of citizenship to the child is carried out by a simplified procedure. If previously required the receipt of individual inserts, now only the stamp is stamped. As a rule, the citizenship of the child will depend on the citizenship of his parents. Many caring fathers and mothers decide to register citizenship for their child, completely unaware that he already has it. So, let's consider the issue "Registration of citizenship to the child".

When it is necessary?

A person can obtain citizenship in two ways:

• At the request of the parents (parent);
• By place of birth.

If a child, for example, was born in Russia, but neither his father nor his mother does not have the citizenship of this country, he will be a citizen of the state whose citizens are his parents. This rule extends to the entire territory of Russia and is called the principle of blood.

In some countries, dual citizenship is permissible . For example, if a child is born in the US, but one of his parents is Russian, he can obtain the citizenship of both states. In America, there is a "right of soil," that is, every person who is born in the United States automatically becomes its citizen.

In most cases, the issue of such a process as the registration of citizenship to a child arises in connection with the need to obtain a passport, when collecting documents for traveling abroad or for obtaining maternity capital.

Grounds for acquiring Russian citizenship

On the basis of the Federal Law on Citizenship of the Russian Federation of May 30, 2002 (Article 11), citizenship of the Russian Federation can be acquired in such ways:

• By birth (applies to children who were born no earlier than 1992);
• As a result of its reception in the general order;
• Due to its receipt in a simplified manner;
• In case of restoration of citizenship.

The main condition for obtaining citizenship is residence in Russia for 5 years (continuously). For individuals this term can be reduced to one year.

Registration of citizenship of the Russian Federation

If the child was born in the period from 06.02.1992 to 01.06.2001, his parents need to write an application, which should be attributed to the passport office. In addition, the father and mother must have a residence permit, passports and, of course, a certificate of the birth of a son or daughter. If the child is 14 years old, then he will still need a statement that he agrees to become a citizen of Russia.

In case the child was born after February 1992, it is necessary not only to write the relevant application, but also to submit data on registration. Such documents must also be addressed to the passport office.

If the father or mother is not a citizen of Russia, then in order to carry out the registration of citizenship to the child, he will additionally need a statement on his consent to such an action (notarized).

All submitted documents must strictly comply with the standards established by law. The application for citizenship is written in the form of 7. Its form can be asked at the FMS offices (in electronic or printed format). After receiving the package of documents, the employee of the migration service must personally assure them.
