Wedding and adjustments
Quite often in Russia there is a change of surname after marriage. In this case, a woman usually has to replace a lot of documents, which include a medical policy. There is only one exception: a woman leaves her maiden name. This situation eliminates the need to replace the mentioned paper.
If there is a change of surname after marriage, you will need to bring a marriage certificate with you to adjust the information in the hospital. Without it, the data will not be changed.
The marriage certificate is issued to the spouses in one copy in the registry office at the time of painting (registration). The premarital and postnuptial data of the husband and wife are indicated here.
Upon receipt of the studied service, it is enough to take a copy from the certificate from the registry office. The original certificate is also recommended to be prepared.
Divorce and documents
We have already studied the timing of the replacement of the MHI policy when changing the name. Now consider the possible packages of documents required by government agencies.
Upon dissolution of marriages, the maiden name of the husband or wife is often returned. This situation entails the need for an exchange of civil papers.
What will be required to apply for a new MHI policy in this case? If a person gets divorced and assigns himself a maiden name, he will need to attach a certificate of divorce.
Documentation is made in the registry office on the basis of a joint statement of the spouses or a court decision. It is issued to both husband and wife. You can get a divorce in the registry office for only 650 rubles. How much does it cost to complete the mentioned certificate for husband and wife together. If the parties disagree by court order, 350 rubles will be charged from each.
After the delivery of the certificate of divorce, it is worth keeping the document at home. When exchanging civil documents, a person will have to take a form of a standard form with him and make a copy of it.
Important: in case of loss or damage of marriage / divorce certificates, duplicates can be issued. This is done in the registry office for a fee.
Children involved
When changing a surname, an application for replacing the compulsory medical insurance policy is submitted either by an adult citizen who owns the document, or his legal representative. The second option is relevant in the case of minor children. Their data may also vary depending on life circumstances.
If the minor’s surname has been corrected, you will have to attach to the application:
- birth certificate;
- court decision to change the name;
- certificate of adoption (if any).
As a rule, no problems arise. The exchange of a child’s policy is carried out by the legal representative of the child. At the same time, the civil passport of the applicant parent must be attached to the application.
Important: Children over 14 years old will have to prepare personal passports for medical insurance policies.
To foreign citizens
The service being studied is considered far from the most confusing and difficult. Especially if the citizen is prepared in advance for its implementation.
Under current laws, foreigners can apply for compulsory health insurance policies. It is necessary to exchange the relevant securities in accordance with Russian law.
If a foreigner, for one reason or another, changes personal data, he will have to prepare:
- translation of a passport or birth certificate;
- migration card;
- RVP / residence permit / certificate of registration of a person;
- basis document for the adjustment of the surname.
As practice shows, it is more difficult for foreigners to replace the mentioned documentation.This is due to the fact that upon receipt of the service you will have to prepare copies of some certificates certified by a notary.
Stand alone solution
Occasionally, a citizen for one reason or another changes his last name or first name on his own. This situation does not occur too often, but you need to remember about it. It entails the need for an exchange of citizen documents, including a medical policy.
In the event of an independent change of surname, the applicant will have to prepare a certificate of the established form. It is issued at the registry office at the time of registration of new person data.
An extract on the change of surname will be kept by the citizen in a single copy. It resembles divorce / marriage certificates. At the right time, it remains only to make copies of the corresponding paper.
SNILS preparation
Next, a few words about where to get these or other certificates for the exchange of a medical policy. Let's start with the insurance certificate - SNILS. Recently, this document is among the mandatory when ordering and exchanging a health insurance policy.
Initially, SNILS can be obtained at the FIU or at the MFC. If a person changes his last name, you will have to replace the corresponding certificate. It follows that before re-issuing the medical policy, SNILS will also have to deal with it. Otherwise, the citizen will be denied the studied service legally.
Important: registration and re-issuance of insurance certificates in Russia is free of charge.
Identification
When requesting the MHI policy, citizens have to present an identity card. In the case of adults and persons over the age of 14, we are talking about a civil passport. This is the main document of the "native" resident of Russia.
When changing the name, a person must first replace the passport. After that - SNILS and the policy. The service is provided at the IFC, passport desks and the migration departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. There is a reissue of an identity card when changing the name 300 rubles. The passport should always be kept by a person.
But what about small children? They are given birth certificates. These are "substitutes" of passports up to the age of fourteen. They are issued to the parents of the minor on the basis of birth certificates from the hospital and the application of the established form. It is issued free of charge. After manufacture, it is stored in the legal representatives of the minor in a single copy.
Important: registration of children in the registry offices or in the MFC is free of charge.
Conclusion
We found out how the replacement of the MHI policy is carried out when changing the name. This is a fairly simple and quick operation, especially if you prepare information in advance to make the idea a reality.
The application form can be obtained from the insurance company or at the IFC. Usually, the employees of the relevant organizations fill out the applications themselves, and the citizens have to check the authenticity of the specified information and sign it.
Important: when exchanging the policy, it is recommended to indicate what type of paper you want to draw up. There is a paper and "card" type of document. In the first case, a white-blue-colored sheet is drawn up, wrapped in a special envelope. In the second - a small plastic card. If you wish, you can order both policy options at once.
