Issue Russian citizenship to a child born abroad
A child acquires citizenship of the Russian Federation by birth, if on the day of birth both parents or the only parent have Russian citizenship regardless of the place of birth of the child (part 1 of item “a” of article 12 of the Federal law “on citizenship of the Russian Federation” of may 31, 2002 No. 62-FZ).
This means that the parents have no choice to issue or not to issue the child a Russian citizen to enter Russia, the child must obtain a passport of the Russian Federation. We will be happy to help you with registration without personal presence.
If one of the child’s parents is a citizen of the Russian Federation, and the other is a foreigner, the child can obtain citizenship and a separate passport of the Russian Federation AT the request of the parents (but this is not mandatory, and for traveling to Russia, it is enough for him to apply for a visa in his foreign passport).
We do not accept orders for obtaining Russian citizenship if one of the parents is a foreigner, since both parents and the child must be present in person at the consular office.
Whether to get a Russian birth certificate
No, the Russian birth certificate is not issued, since the fact of birth has already been initially registered by the relevant authorities of a foreign country (for example, the United States or Canada).
In accordance with article 13 of the Federal law “On acts of civil status” dated November 15, 1997 №143-FZ official document confirming the fact of birth of the child for Russia, totally the same as Russian birth certificate, a foreign birth certificate with apostille (or authentication state for Canada), translation into Russian language of the Russian and notarization of the translator’s signature.
