BIRTH CERTIFICATES ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED FOR BORDER CROSSINGS: CHILDREN WILL NEED A PASSPORT
From January 20, 2026, birth certificates will no longer be required for Russian citizens under 14 years of age to travel to Abkhazia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, or South Ossetia.
After January 20, 2026, entry into Russia using this document will only be possible for those children who travelled abroad using a birth certificate before this date.
Also, from January 20, the possibility of obtaining a certificate of entry (return) to Russia in exchange for a birth certificate at Russian consular offices in the territories of the specified countries will be cancelled if the birth certificate has been lost, has become unusable, or if the child has reached the age of 14 during its stay abroad.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends that children obtain international passports in a timely manner.
