A document confirming the citizenship of the Russian Federation for a child under 14 is a necessity that may arise, for example, when traveling abroad. There are several options on how to confirm that a child has the status of a citizen. Russian Federation.

How to verify status

In general, it is provided that a person's citizenship can be documented by:

• birth certificates with a stamp or insert (issued before 2007);
• Russian passport;
• diplomatic passport;
• military ID;
• seafarer's identity document.

Of course, everything except the first paragraph refers to adults. Until the age of 14, the main document for determining citizenship is the child's birth certificate. But in each of the above certificates and passports, at the request of the person, information about children and their citizenship is entered.

The document indicated in each of the paragraphs confirms the status of a citizen of the Russian Federation. All of them are recognized not only on the territory of the Russian Federation, but also in foreign missions and consulates.

It is not uncommon for a person to have none of the presented certificates or certificates. At the same time, he needs proof of the citizenship of the Russian Federation.

Legalization of status may be required in many cases, and in each case it is necessary to consider the situation individually. In some cases, only a certain type of document is issued. The procedure for applying for and processing papers is also different.

The procedure for confirming the status of a citizen

It is important to remember that the absence of these documents is a completely solvable problem. Any situation has a solution, since this process is described in detail in the legislation of the Russian Federation. Often, citizenship is required for a child under 14 years of age. It provides exclusively for the affixing of a stamp by the authorities executive power in the migration sphere (GUVM of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia) on the back of the document.

Confirmation of citizenship of a minor

The children's question in this area is one of the most common, while creating a lot of controversial situations. Parents are often interested in: what can be done to draw up documentation for a child under 14? What kind of papers allows you to certify his status, because there is no passport (and cannot be) due to infancy.

The situation involves being content with little: documentation that has the power of indirectly confirming the child's nationality. But this issue, as a rule, is not easily resolved, and parents need to submit numerous petitions and requests to the Migration Department, and collect an impressive list of papers.

The solution to the "children's issue"

In the vast majority of cases under consideration for young children (under 14 years of age) who are incapacitated, a birth certificate is considered proof. But sometimes organs state power may require the submission of additional papers and evidence.

The procedure for determining the nationality of a child - a citizen of the Russian Federation - is constantly changing, especially in the last decade and a half. So, today it is practiced to put stamps on the back of the certificate. But until 2007, a new paper was issued for the child in the form of an insert.

Thus, for ten years, separate inserts for determining citizenship are no longer used. But the old papers are still valid. They have the same legal force, as the marks of the new sample. The status of a citizen of the Russian Federation is necessary, as a rule, for:

• mortgage processing. Some lending formats require a huge package of documentation. This list also includes comprehensive information about children;
• issuance of a foreign passport for a minor child. The problem is that a person under the age of 14 cannot confirm his status in any way, except through a birth certificate;
• acquisition of an internal Russian passport. In this case, in addition to the insert or stamp, additional documentation will also be required to be submitted to the GUVM.

It is also worth noting that state institutions in the field of providing medical, educational and other services cannot require any certificate from the legal representatives of a minor to identify the citizenship of the child.

There are situations when it becomes necessary to confirm the presence of citizenship of the Russian Federation. This may be required from an adult, and from children. Not all parents know what document is required for a child under the age of 14. Therefore, it is worth figuring out which official papers are suitable for the procedure, as well as studying situations where additional information may illegally be required.

Why confirm?

It may be necessary to confirm the citizenship of the Russian Federation not only for adults, but also for children under 14 years of age. But in what situations it is required, it is worth understanding. First of all, this will make it possible to receive maternity capital and travel abroad. Also, a document confirming the citizenship of a minor may be required for admission to kindergarten or school. For those who plan to travel to a foreign country with a person under 14 years old, it may be necessary to make a foreign identity card. In any of these situations, it is necessary to prove that the person is indeed a citizen of Russia.

As you know, a baby receives citizenship at birth. He gets it either from his parents, or at the place of birth. The fact that he is a citizen of the Russian Federation can be indicated by a mark in the father's / mother's passport about the birth of an heir. But still it is better if the minor has own document. This is especially true in situations where parents have a new Russian passport, where they do not make records of the presence of children.

What official papers can confirm citizenship?

A citizen of the Russian Federation, whose age is under 14, has various documents confirming his citizenship. Any of them is suitable for the case when you need to pass this procedure. By the way, since February 2007, they stopped issuing an insert in a birth certificate certifying Russian citizenship. Those who were born before this point do not need to throw away the insert, as it can still be used for its intended purpose. The rest should think about what documents are suitable. From the general list, parents or authorities can choose the appropriate one for the case.

Documents for a child under the age of 14:

1. Foreign, service or diplomatic passport, which confirms the identity of a citizen of the Russian Federation abroad.
2. Passport of the father / mother, who is a citizen of Russia. Suitable not only internal, but also foreign, official and diplomatic. It is important that information about the heir is entered.
3. Birth certificate. It must contain information about the citizenship of the Russian Federation of at least one of the parents.
4. A mark on the translation into Russian of an official paper issued by a foreign authority as a certificate of the fact of registration of the birth of a child. The mark must be put either in the FMS, or the consulate of the Russian Federation, or the representative office of Russia.
5. A mark on a birth certificate issued by an authority. In this case, the mark must also be put in the FMS, consulate or representative office of the Russian Federation.
6. Insert. Suitable issued in addition to a birth certificate before 2007, as well as received from a foreign authority as confirmation of the registration of the birth of a child.

Parents should remember that government bodies for the provision of services from the field of education, health and social security cannot by law require an additional document if one of the above was shown. Also, they cannot insist on a mark on the certificate of birth for children under the age of 14 years.

When is it not necessary to confirm citizenship with an additional document?

There are situations when the authorities require to show an additional document indicating the citizenship of the Russian Federation in a child of 14 years old. But in some situations, their actions will be illegal. You need to know when there is no need to provide another document.

It is immediately worth noting that if a person has at least one of the above papers, then this already proves that he is a citizen of the Russian Federation. The presence of another certificate is not required, and if someone asks for it, then the applicant has the right to refuse. Only one identity document is required for confirmation.

For example, consider common situations where no additional documents don't need to show:

• When replacing a foreign or ordinary passport with a new one, the person submitting the application is not required to provide any document other than the replacement passport itself.
• When a person under the age of 14 receives a civil or foreign passport for the first time in the Russian Federation, one certificate is sufficient to confirm the identity.
• When receiving a passport due to loss, one should not confirm one's citizenship, since the authorities must record that the person already had a Russian passport.
• When obtaining an internal passport for a foreign one or vice versa. It is enough to show one document of the child to confirm citizenship.

If the authorities of the Russian Federation require you to confirm your registration in order to make sure that the child has citizenship, then the parent is not obliged to do this. A house book or a registration card can, for example, be lost, replaced with new ones, so even the fact of their absence does not mean anything. A person will still be considered a citizen of the Russian Federation if the child has at least one of the documents confirming the citizenship of the Russian Federation.

Often, compatriots face difficulties in confirming their citizenship. Most often, it is required during a routine check of documents by police officers, and at this moment you do not have a Russian passport with you.
