Entry into the parent's passport for the child serves as a designation of citizenship. The marks are entered in the departments of the GUVM of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Self-entry of information invalidates the passport.
Stamp about children in the passport of the Russian Federation
The mark represents data about a child born to a citizen of Russia. Legal requirements do not say anything about the importance of its presence.
However, under certain circumstances, the entry becomes meaningful:
- Use of the right to pay maternity capital funds;
- Establishing kinship;
- Transfer of information to the parent passport of the old type;
- Implementation of concessional lending;
- Preschool admission (rare);
- The red stamp confirms the citizenship of the children.
The mark is put only up to the age of 14. Older minors have the right to receive a separate document and do not fit into parental certificates.
Where is the mark
On pages 16-17 of the general civil passport of the Russian Federation there is a section "Children". It contains the following data:
- Full name of the child;
- Floor;
- Date of birth;
- The day the mark was made.
Each mark is certified with a separate seal.
Do I need to enter the child in the passport
A foreign passport is a document by which Russian citizens can travel outside the state. Since 2010, the issuance of biometric samples has been introduced. A citizen has the right to independently choose between a biometric ID and an old-type document.

The standard for the production of a biometric passport does not imply the presence of marks about children. It is possible to register the child's information only if there is a classic copy.
Crossing state borders according to the mark in the parent document provides for restrictions:
- Departure is possible only if accompanied by a parent in whose passport the minor is entered;
- In the absence of their own foreign ID, children cannot cross the border and return to their home state on their own, even if they have a parental document in their hands;
- In a number of countries, mandatory identity cards are adopted for everyone, without exception, and entry by appointment is not possible.
It is possible to fit a child into an old-style foreign passport, but a more reliable and versatile option is to issue a separate passport. Issuance is provided for any age, starting from birth.
Who can put a child on their passport
The child can be registered by his mother, father, legal representative (guardian, guardian). The information is entered into the documents of both parents at the same time. At the same time, the fact of their living together does not matter.
There are situations when a child is recorded with one of the parents - divorce, death, residence of the second parent abroad and other circumstances. Documents are required confirming such cases.
Single mother's passport stamp
The absence of a father cannot be the basis for depriving children of citizenship. A single mother has the right to write in the child's passport. A birth certificate will be required, where in the column "father" there is a dash or a note "from the words of the mother."
The procedure for entering data about the child
Until recently, children were entered in the passport at the registry office when issuing a birth certificate. Since 2016, the rules have changed. Now the migration service is in charge of assigning citizenship with a mark.
You can apply for registration directly at the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, through the multifunctional center and on the State Services website.

Parents contact the department at the place of registration. The employee checks the submitted documents. When no shortcomings have been identified, a red stamp is added to the passports.
The child must be registered directly on the day of the visit. The postponement or a request to come for passports a few days later is contrary to the law and is the basis for going to court.
MFC
The MFC serves as an intermediary in the interaction of ordinary citizens with the authorities. To make a mark, you should collect the required papers and contact the specialists of the nearest branch of the MFC. From there, the information is sent for processing to the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the applicant receives a receipt confirming the acceptance of the package of documents.
Contacting through the MFC is easy and convenient. The service will be provided within a few business days.
Government services website
When entering information through the "Gosuslugi" portal, the entry in the passport does not appear, but the information will be available to the services for subsequent registration.
To record information, you must:
- Enter the public services portal and enter your data;
- In the section "Personal information" you need to find the item "Show all personal data";
- At the end of the form on the left, the link "Add information about the child" is selected, where in the window that opens, you should enter children's information.
What documents are needed to enter a child in the passport
Before applying, you must collect a package of documents, including:
- General civil passports of parents - originals and 2 copies of each document;
- Birth certificate (they will put a stamp on the back of the citizen);
- Marriage certificate;
- Certificate of paternity, if the marriage was not concluded;
- For legal representatives - documents confirming the right of guardianship.
Grounds for refusal
In most cases, entering children's data into a passport is straightforward. But there are certain circumstances under which the GUFM of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will refuse:
- The parent does not have Russian citizenship;
- An incomplete list of required documents is provided;
- To a minor turned 14;
- The documents are invalid.
Difficulties arise when parents have citizenship of another country. Children entered in the passport of a mother - a foreigner, for a father - a citizen of the Russian Federation, cannot be entered, and vice versa. If two parents have foreign citizenship, it is necessary to documentary proof not only the lack of citizenship of the baby, but also his birth within the Russian Federation.
In the event of an unlawful refusal, it is necessary to send a complaint to the regional UVM UMVD or apply to the judicial authorities.
Is there a responsibility for the lack of a record
Under the current laws, there is no punishment for unwillingness to enter information. Responsibility is provided for parents who independently recorded information on the page of the Russian passport.
Such actions are deliberate damage and entail the issuance of a fine in the amount up to 300 rubles... A mark made by oneself is invalid. The damaged document is considered unusable and needs to be replaced.
Despite the optionality of the mark, it is recommended to make it for your own convenience and the absence of problems when making payments. The page of the passport with child data can serve as a replacement for a birth certificate in situations requiring the establishment of a relationship between the baby and the parent.
