Reasons for registration
Most often people are prescribed to see their grandmother for several reasons:
- At the place of residence of the father and mother, it is not possible to enroll the child in a queue for preschool institutions.
- I would like to send my son or daughter to a certain school, but the parents are registered in another area.
- The child stays with a relative for a while (for example, while the legal representatives are at work).
- For the sake of receiving subsidies and benefits (utility benefits, “linkage” to a hospital, children's libraries, clubs, etc.).
In some cases, these issues can be resolved without registering with a relative. If parents rent housing in the area needed for the kindergarten or school, they can make a temporary registration for the child themselves.
IMPORTANT! You should not delay the process of registering a minor, otherwise the guardianship authorities will pay special attention to the family. If the child is not registered anywhere for a long time, a fine is imposed on the parents.
Is it possible to register a grandson or granddaughter in an apartment without parents?
It is impossible to unequivocally answer the question whether a grandmother can register a grandson without parents.
This is influenced by several factors at once:
- age of the person being prescribed;
- who the grandmother is: just a relative or the baby’s guardian.
It is impossible to register children under 14 years of age without a mother, father or legal representative in “someone else’s” living space. A grandmother can accommodate her grandson without parents only if she is his guardian. In other cases, such registration is illegal.
After 14 years of age, a teenager can register himself to live with a relative. The presence and cohabitation of the father or mother is not required.

Registration of a minor: step-by-step instructions
The first thing you need to do to register a child with your grandmother is to prepare a package of documents.
Let's try to list what you might need:
- Grandson's birth certificate.
- Application from the father or mother with a request to register the child in the living space of a relative.
- Identity documents of both parents.
- Consent of the second parent to register a minor with a relative (preferred).
- Agreement on the free use of living space by one of the child’s parents. Or a statement on behalf of the grandmother agreeing to provide living quarters to the father or mother of the person being registered.
If the living space is privatized, then you need to have:
- document confirming ownership;
- a copy of the grandmother’s personal financial account;
- if there are several owners, then consent for the registration of the child and the residence of his legal representative in the apartment is required from each of them.
Slightly different rules apply to municipal apartments. Additionally, you will need to submit the following documents:
- an extract from the house register;
- documents confirming the family ties of the grandson and elderly relative;
- If minors already live in the apartment, the official consent of their representatives is required to register another child in it.
A complete list of required documents can be obtained from representatives of government agencies. It may differ slightly and be supplemented depending on your specific case.
Is it possible to register a child with his grandmother without his parents?
Parents sometimes have circumstances when they cannot register minor children at their place of registration. The reasons for this may include the following circumstances:
- housing is planned to be sold soon;
- mother and father want to give up parental rights;
- the baby is recognized as an orphan;
- the mother and father do not own housing on a property basis that would allow a child to be registered there.
If the above circumstance is present in the life of the parents, then the child can be registered with the grandmother. It is impossible to register a minor child with a grandmother without parents, without their approval. Registration can be issued for a child, without the consent of mom and dad, if he is 14 years old. Before reaching the specified age, parental approval is required.
Where to submit documents?
The documents have been collected, where to submit them? There are several options:
- To the department of the Federal Migration Service (UVM).
- In the housing office that services the house where the minor will be registered.
- To the territorial branch of the Multifunctional Center (MFC).
It is best to submit documents directly to the MFC. The center competently organizes the reception of citizens, as well as the largest database of people living in the territory controlled by the MFC.
Citizens of the Russian Federation are not charged fees or state fees for registration at their place of residence. Stateless persons and residents of other countries pay a state fee of 350 rubles for registration in an apartment. You can clarify information about a minor at the government organization where the documents were submitted.
