Russia plans to ease large-family certification with less bureaucracy
Russian lawmakers have put forward a plan to simplify the process for large families seeking official certification. The proposal aims to cut down on paperwork and make it easier for parents to access support benefits. Under the new rules, families would no longer be tied to their home region when applying.
At present, most regions in Russia require large families to apply for certification at their place of permanent registration. This often means long trips and extra bureaucracy for those living far from local offices. The new proposal would change that by introducing a system of extraterritoriality.
Families could then submit applications at any Multifunctional Public Service Center (MFC) across the country. Another option would be to complete the process entirely online through the *Gosuslugi* portal. The shift is designed to save time and reduce unnecessary travel. If approved, the measure would also streamline access to social benefits. Large families would no longer face delays caused by regional restrictions. Instead, certification and support would become available regardless of where they apply.
The proposed changes would remove key administrative barriers for large families. By allowing applications at any MFC or via Gosuslugi, the process would become faster and more flexible. Officials expect this to improve access to essential benefits for parents nationwide.
