• building permit;
• the application and the passport of the person who writes it;
• a written assurance that the house will be re-registered as a common family property.

Within a month, a decision will be made to allow construction or to refuse. In the first case, you can wait 50% of the amount on the account. The second part is paid in half a year, if it is confirmed that the work is already underway. To receive these funds, the Pension Fund requires that there is already a foundation and walls, sometimes a roof.

Also it is worth remembering that such an opportunity, as to use the maternity capital for the construction of the dacha, is not provided.
