The appearance in the family of a toddler obliges parents to engage in the procedure of obtaining a certificate of his birth in the first days. Young moms and dads have many unresolved issues that they may have encountered for the first time. And it is necessary to act quickly enough, because there are certain terms, after which it is possible to obtain a child's birth certificate only if the fine is paid at the same time.
Where to apply, which documents to provide?
For the official registration of a new small citizen, parents must collect documents for a birth certificate. Citizens should apply to the registry office, and villagers - in the village council, there will prompt how and where to get a birth certificate. Maternity workers can also provide advice on how to issue a birth certificate. Nothing is complicated in the procedure. All that parents need is:
- certificate from the maternity hospital, which must be given to the woman in childbirth;
- Parents' passports;
- at official marriage - the certificate on its registration.
With official marriage and identical surnames of parents, registration can be carried out in the presence of one of them. But there are situations when registrars are obliged to observe both mother and father. So, if the name of the baby is unusual or foreign, the surnames of the parents are different, the birth took place in another city, then the presence of both is mandatory. A civil marriage requires not only the presence of the father, but also his written application for consent to adoption.
Interesting Facts
Most people know what a birth certificate looks like, but some graphs are ignored. So, where nationality is indicated in the birth certificate and if it is indicated at all, not everyone knows. And it is not surprising, because this graph is filled by parents at will. It's one thing when a mother and father are of one nationality, but it often happens that dozens of nationalities are intertwined in the family. In the end, whether to indicate or not is a personal matter. In addition, representatives of some nationalities sometimes have not been sweet in certain countries of the post-Soviet space.
If you suddenly have a question about why you need a birth certificate in general, then the answer is simple: in 16 years you will have to issue a passport. And the manual has not prevented anyone, and without a certificate you will not get it.
Special cases
If everything is clear with mothers in 99% of cases, then paternity often raises a number of questions. Must the father be inscribed on the birth certificate? If previously a single mother could put a dash in the column about the father on the birth certificate, then today it can not be done.

Another situation is related to the birth of a child after the divorce or death of the spouse. If this happened no later than ten months (three hundred days) before the birth of the baby, then the ex-spouse will be considered the father. To challenge such a record in the certificate is possible through the court.
The birth certificate is the very first official document in the life of every person. It must be carefully stored until the age of sixteen, in order to secure itself in advance from unnecessary problems in its recovery when obtaining a passport.
