“A government statement to simplify the process of registering maternal capital is a good sign and move forward. When a baby is born, it is very difficult for parents to collect a lot of documents. If you can just bring a birth certificate, and the employees themselves will pick up the remaining necessary documents, this will greatly simplify the possibility of registration. With this innovation, everything can be done quickly and almost automatically, ”she said.

According to Letkova, the child’s birth certificate “should be enough to obtain a certificate for matkapital, and state bodies can check the other documents themselves.”

“This is a completely correct and constructive initiative that will greatly facilitate the lives of citizens,” she concluded.

Earlier, Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov said that the Russian government intends to simplify the receipt of a certificate for maternity capital, this can be done after discharge from the hospital based on the data received upon receipt.
