Women who are pregnant for at least 20 weeks can receive a Muscovite social card from the MFC for pregnancy. When submitting an application, you must submit an appropriate certificate issued by a gynecologist at the antenatal clinic, in which the expectant mother is registered.
Applying for a card through the MFC to receive child benefits requires indicating a birth certificate and a certificate of the child’s place of registration.

To pay benefits to SCM, a certificate is submitted indicating that one of the parents has not received funds for child care.
