After the birth of the baby, the mother gets the opportunity to take advantage of state support in the form of a monthly allowance for caring for a child up to one and a half years and a one-time allowance for the birth of a child. These benefits are paid from the federal budget through the Social Insurance Fund. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the list of required documents, as this will save you time and effort in the registration process.

Step 1
They are paid by the Social Insurance Fund. The mechanism for their registration and payment is well established. Working citizens can draw up all documents at their place of work. To do this, the personnel department and accounting department will need to provide:
- a certificate from the registry office about the birth of a child (it is issued on the basis of a birth certificate from a maternity hospital);
- a certificate stating that the spouse did not receive these benefits at the place of work;
- a copy of the birth certificate;
- application for the appointment of monthly and lump sum benefits.
Step 2
Non-working citizens submit a package of documents to the local social protection authorities (department or department for social protection of the population). The following documents are required:
- parents' passports and their copies;
- birth certificate of the child;
- certificate of family composition, confirming registration;
- a certificate from the registry office about the birth of a child, issued on the basis of a certificate from the maternity hospital;
