What documents are required to register a child's household according to the latest regulations in 2025?
I want to register my child's household registration, what documents do I need according to the latest regulations in 2025?. A matter of concern for Ms. Hoang Thi Van (Hung Nguyen, Nghe An).
Reply: According to the provisions of Clause 2, Article 21 of the 2020 Law on Residence, the regulations on permanent residence registration documents are as follows:
Permanent residence registration application
...
2. Permanent residence registration dossier for persons specified in Clause 2, Article 20 of this Law includes:
a) Application form for change of residence information, clearly stating the consent for permanent residence registration of the head of household, legal owner of accommodation or authorized person, except in cases where there is written consent;
b) Papers and documents proving personal relationship with the head of household or household member, except in cases where there is information showing this relationship in the National Population Database or Residence Database;
c) Documents and papers proving other conditions specified in Point b and Point c, Clause 2, Article 20 of this Law.
....
Thus, registering a household registration for a child is a form of permanent residence registration currently, so it is necessary to prepare the following documents:
- Application form for change of residence information, clearly stating the consent of the parent(s) for permanent residence registration (if the parent(s) is the head of household or legal owner of the accommodation), except in cases where there is already written consent.
- Child's birth certificate or other papers and documents proving the relationship with the parents, except in cases where there is information showing this relationship in the National Population Database or Residence Database.
