Since February 6, 2007, Russian parents have gotten rid of one more problem. From that moment, the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 1226, dated 03.11.2006, came into force, which significantly simplified the procedure for obtaining citizenship for a child. Namely, the inserts that were previously invested in the child's birth certificate and confirmed that he had Russian citizenship were canceled. Now data on children is entered in the passports of parents who are citizens of the Russian Federation. If desired, a mark on the child's citizenship is put on the birth certificate on the back.
