How do children enter the passport? Who inscribes children in the passport?

Every person who receives a passport of a Russian citizen flies through the pages of a new document with pleasure. And then his gaze stops at the spread with the note "Children." Most likely, this view will be fleeting, since a Russian citizen is almost certainly too young to have his own offspring. And only the most conscious will think that the time will come, and they will learn how to enter children in the passport.

And then several years pass, the young family has a child, and at the same time there are so many problems that parents simply do not have time to find out some questions. And they will definitely. Here are the most common of them: do the children enter the passport at the present time, is this procedure mandatory, where and how can the mark be placed? Let's consider each aspect of this procedure.

Entering children in the passport: as it was before and now

Until 2007, a note on children was put on the registry offices. However, at present they do not have such powers, and in order to inscribe the child in the passport, one must apply to the local migration service.

This change is caused by the fact that a mark in a Russian passport about a particular child is an additional confirmation of Russian citizenship. And all questions on the establishment of citizenship are in the sphere of the migration service of the Russian Federation.

Who enters the children's passport

A note on children in the passport of the Russian Federation can be placed in the office of the Federal Migration Service, or, as they say, at the passport office. Contact the FMS is necessary at the place of permanent registration of the applicant, it does not matter whether the children are registered at the same address or not.

In order to enter the child in the passport, the following documents must be submitted to the FMS:

- passport in which it is necessary to put a mark;

- Birth certificate of the child (for each of the children who need to be entered in the passport).

How is the procedure performed

The citizen brings all the necessary documents, after which the employee of the passport desk writes an entry in the column "Children." It should reflect the full name of the child and the date of his birth. Completion of the column "Children" is confirmed by the signature of the employee who made the record and is certified with a stamp.

As a rule, the procedure takes place immediately, within one working day. However, there are exceptions - sometimes they can pick up a passport for several days. When you contact the FMS, you need to take this moment into account, and if you need a document every day, it's better to wait a bit.

How do children enter their father's passport if he can not personally come to the FMS? With this, as a rule, there are no problems. In the passport of the absent parent, father or mother, you can enter the child by proxy from the owner of the document.

Only young children can be inscribed. For example, when you replace a passport at 45 years old, no one will enter into a new document of a child of legal age, even if it was recorded in an old certificate.

In the regional office of the Federal Migration Service, you can put a note on children in your passport. Such a record is made in a foreign passport and can be stamped for the entire duration of its validity. However, if the child has reached the age of 14, then he needs to obtain a personal document.

In a new passport, children are not written: for a child of any age, you need to receive an individual document. With a mark in the passport you can go with the child abroad, unless the second parent has imposed a ban on leaving by applying to the border guard service.

Is it possible to put a mark in the passport

How do children enter the passport on their own? Such a question is not uncommon today, because a few years ago some enterprising citizens took a ballpoint pen and filled the column "Children" with a neat and beautiful handwriting. Moreover, some employees of the passport desk, when they asked them to write down children, recommended that they do it themselves, as the stamp was not certified with a stamp.

In fact, it's strictly forbidden to make records on your own. Such a mark will be equated with extraneous inscriptions and the document will be recognized as invalid. The passport will have to be changed and paid a penalty for damage.

What problems can there be when entering children in the passport?

Sometimes employees of the FMS refuse to enroll the child in the passport, even with a birth certificate. This may be due to the establishment of citizenship.

If the child was born on the territory of the Russian Federation, both his parents are Russian citizens, then the "Children" column will be filled in the passport for both parents.

If one of the parents is a citizen of a foreign country, the situation can develop in several directions:

1. If the mark about the child is in the passport of the parent who is a resident of a foreign country, the second one will not be delivered.

2. If the mark on the child is not in the passport of the parent who is a resident of a foreign country, the second parent is filled in with the column "Children".

There are some other nuances, for example, when a child is born on the territory of a foreign state. They need to be specified in each specific case.

Why do I need to write children in my passport?

The majority of citizens are worried about the question of how to inscribe children in a passport, but about why, in fact, it needs to be done. After all, no one forces it to do, so most of the population prefers to think that such a record will never be needed.

However, this is not quite true. There are a number of cases where you might need it, for example, a mark is required when you write a child into your passport. Quite often the column "Children" needs to be filled before participating in some social programs, for registration of benefits, preferential loans, for obtaining visas, etc.

However, the most common situation when you need a note about children is that you just need to prove that this particular child is yours. Usually in such cases the birth certificate helps, but it is rarely carried with them all the time, but the passport is almost always with the owner.

And once again we remind that the mark in the passport is an additional confirmation of the citizenship of the child.
