The birth of a baby is very exciting and important in a young family. At a time when the mother is completely busy caring for her child, the Pope will have to take care of the registration of the birth of the child in the registry office.
How to register a child in the registry office?
As it is not strange, but the registration of a newborn child in the registry office begins with the selection of the name of the baby. Cases where parents can not agree on the name of the child are quite frequent. Discuss this moment with your husband and then send him for registration.
To register a child in the registry office will need the following list of documents:
- certificate from the hospital about the birth of the baby;
- the father's passport;
- in the event that the marriage is officially registered, a marriage certificate is provided (in this case, only one of the parents is sufficient to apply);
- if you are in a civil marriage , you must write a joint application for the issuance of a birth certificate of the child and both parents must be present;
- certificate of establishment of paternity (it can be received both before the appearance of the child and after, the reason for obtaining is the situation when the parents are legally married, but the father of the baby is another man);
- if you can not independently file an application, you need a notarized power of attorney and a representative's passport.
In what terms is it necessary to register a child in the registry office?
You must write an application within a month after the birth of the baby. In some cases, the registration of a child up to the age of majority is allowed. It happens that the registration of a child in the registry office is impossible because of the loss of a certificate from the hospital. In this case, you can get it again before the child turns one year old, and then write a registration application. If you do not have time to get a certificate from the maternity hospital, instead of registering the child in the registry office you will have to receive a birth certificate on the basis of a court decision.
After registering the child in the registry office on the birth certificate will be inscribed:
- surname, name and patronymic of the child;
- date and place of birth;
- surname, name and patronymic of one or both parents;
- citizenship of one or both parents;
- nationality of one or both parents at will.
In the event that the father of the child is not established, the name and patronymic are recorded on the application of the mother. If the father is established, but the parents' surnames are different, the child is given the surname of one of the parents by agreement of the latter.
Registration of the birth of the child in the registry office, if the birth took place at home
Today, the refusal of the maternity hospital and the provision of obstetrician services at home are becoming fashionable. In this case, you can not get the birth certificate. Instead, a statement is given by the person present during the home birth, the birth of the child outside the maternity institution and without the provision of medical care. If a woman goes to a maternity institution immediately after the birth of the baby, she can be given a certificate of the established sample.
It is possible that there will be a situation in which it will be much more difficult to register a child in the registry office. You may be required to submit additional documents and it is possible that you will have to prove in court that this is indeed your child.
Solemn registration of the child in the registry office
Since the birth of a baby is no less important event than the registration of a marriage, parents can order a ceremony of naming the crumbs. This can be done both in the registry office, and directly in the maternity hospital at discharge. You can invite relatives and close people to the celebration.
