How to speed up the process

5 frequently asked questions about leaving housing

1. Is the presence of the owner required?

No. The owner of the property is not needed to submit an application, complete all documents and visit the Federal Migration Service. The presence and consent of the owner is required only when registering a temporary or permanent stay on its territory.  

2. How quickly do they leave the apartment?

Exact deadlines are not established by law, but there are approximate ones. Usually the process takes from 1 to 9 business days if you are in the same city and there are no nuances. Forced discharge can last several months. By proxy - from 3 to 7 days.  

3. Is it possible to deregister temporarily?

This is possible if the person is:

• In the army. You must present a passport and a certificate of conscription from the military registration and enlistment office.
• Prison. If the convicted person is registered in municipal housing, his permission is not required. In the case of privatized real estate, his written consent, a copy of the court order and an identity card will be required.

In both cases, after returning, you can restore your registration without any problems. To do this, they again contact the same department.  

4. Will they take away your passport?

It remains with the FMS representatives until the discharge stamp is affixed at the stated address. Remains with the applicant if he is in another country or city. You can ask the department for a temporary certificate - an identity card.  

5. Is there a state duty? 

Deregistration for citizens of the Russian Federation is free of charge. Only additional services are paid for. For example, issuing a power of attorney.  

In this way, you can check out of the apartment through the MFC, passport office, or local FMS department. Multipurpose centers are often a more convenient option for three reasons:

• Schedule. Many departments have short working hours or a shortened week. It can be difficult to get into them with a busy schedule. MFCs are usually open daily.  
• Possibility of applying in another city. 
• Fast processing of all paperwork. 

If you plan to register at a different address, then you don’t have to do anything in advance. The previous registration is canceled automatically as soon as the current one appears. To do this, you simply write an application in a new place. Within one locality, this will take from 14 to 30 days. When living in another city - two or three months. Sometimes things work out faster.  

For those who are not registered with the military 

In this case everything is simple. Contact the department convenient for you and fill out form No. 6 with a tear-off coupon.

Take with you originals and photocopies of your Russian passport, ownership of the apartment you are moving into, or a house register when moving to a private house.

It is not necessary to bring proof of ownership. They are needed only for those who immediately want to apply for a new registration.  

If you are checking out automatically while already in another city or area, bring proof of ownership or bring the owner to give written consent. When the application is completed, the employee will verify all the data and inform you of the date the documents will be ready.  

Instructions for military personnel 

It can be more difficult for those liable for military service to register and be discharged. Some departments may require you to first deregister with the previous commissariat and register with the new one. According to the law, this is not necessary. But if the organization’s employees insist, but there is no time or desire to argue, act as follows:

• Visit the FMS office at your new place of residence and write application No. 6. Enter the new address at the top and the old one at the bottom.  
• Present originals and photocopies of a Russian passport, an extract from the Unified State Register or house register, a military ID or registration certificate. 

The employee will fill out card No. 9 and give it to you along with the application and other documents. Bring all this to the old military registration and enlistment office and write an application that will be given to you. Then repeat the procedure at the new military registration and enlistment office. When the department employee puts the stamps, return with the same package of documents to the FMS office to submit them for registration. In 14-30 days everything will be ready.  

Try to collect all the necessary papers at once. If something is missing, don’t worry, the department will make a request on its own. But this will delay receiving the departure certificate.  

You can apply online, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have to go anywhere. After you submit the form on the website, you will receive a notification about the time of your visit to the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You must have a verified account on Gosuslugi. The conditions for obtaining it are described in detail on the website.  

If you are already registered:

• Go to the “Registration at place of residence and stay” section.
• Click the "Get Service" button on the right. 
• Enter your personal details, addresses and other information.  

At the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you will fill out another application and give the originals of the documents specified in the application. Employees will verify the information and stamp the deregistration. Everything will take three days.  

Extract by power of attorney

So, what does it take to check out of an apartment without personal presence? Let’s clarify right away that passport office employees do not like to deal with such issues, as there is a possibility of fraud.

Therefore, call there in advance and find out if they will discharge you. This usually requires good reasons.

For example, imprisonment, serious illness, being in another city or country, military service. 

Instructions for those located in Russia

• Draw up and have a simple (not general!) power of attorney drawn up and certified by a notary. It must indicate your data, the data of the representative, his powers and their expiration date.  
• Write application No. 6. The form is issued by the FMS.  
• Give both documents to your representative. 

In some cases, department employees require you to provide your passport, military ID (if you are registered with the military), a house register, or proof of ownership of a new apartment.

The last two points are optional - just indicate any address. 

If you live abroad

You can check out remotely not only from another city, but also from another country. The procedure is as follows:

• At the Russian consulate, certify the application for deregistration and a simple power of attorney. 
• Through the postal company, send both documents along with a copy of your passport and visa to your representative.

The authorized representative acts according to the same scheme as in the first case.

Let's find out whether it is possible to check out of an apartment to nowhere, and how to do it. In fact, the process is not much different from regular deregistration.

Contact the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with your identification card and fill out form No. 6, which they will give you. In addition to basic data, it indicates the reason why the person is being discharged from housing and the new address.

 Enter any - this information is not verified. 

You can also make an appointment with an inspector at State Services and wait for a notification with an appointment time. Next, proceed according to the scheme described above. Usually everything takes seven days. A week later you will receive a departure slip. It is needed to register at a new place. Its validity period is 30 days.  

Problems may arise with the discharge of military personnel and minors.

Procedure for military personnel

• Contact the FMS office with your passport and military ID. 
• Fill out application No. 6. 
• Wait for the registration to be removed/approved. 

Or:

• Fill out form No. 6, present originals and copies of the above documents.
• Receive completed card No. 9 from the employee. 
• De-register at the old military registration and enlistment office and register at the new one. You need to bring form No. 6, No. 9 and identification cards.  
• Return to the FMS office and register at your new address. 

The child cannot be discharged to anywhere - there must be living space with similar characteristics. You can deregister it only with your parents and with their consent.

The procedure may vary depending on whether the minor has a share. If it is not there, the consent of the guardianship authorities is not required.

It is enough to bring your parents’ identity cards, birth certificate, technical passport of the new apartment to the department and fill out the applications that will be given to you.

To discharge the child owner, you will need permission from the guardianship authorities. 

What is required to make a decision:

• Technical passports for both properties
• Birth certificate
• Russian passports of parents
• Proof of ownership or house register
• Statement

The application is reviewed within 14 days.

If it is approved, you need to come to the FMS with the same set of documents and permission from the guardianship. Parents or the minor himself (if he is over 14 years old) fill out all certificates. After three working days, you will be able to pick up the departure sheet.

With it, registration at the new place of residence is carried out. 

How to quickly check out of an apartment

To remove yourself from registration in one or two days, contact the appropriate department in person. Pre-collect all the necessary documents and notify the organization’s employees that you want to speed up the process. If there is a justification for urgency, present it. For example, air tickets.  

You will need a passport, application No. 6, proof of ownership of real estate (optional), a military ID if you are registered with the military registration and enlistment office.

You may be denied quick discharge even if you provide justification. But, as a rule, employees meet halfway.  

How to check out of an apartment | Legal Advice

Last updated February 2023

Permanent registration is not a lifelong phenomenon. Sometimes in certain life situations it becomes necessary to stop registering.

Globally, there are two options for checking out of an apartment, house, or room when changing place of residence:

• Deregistration at the previous address, that is, an extract “in its pure form.”
• Extract simultaneously with registration or “upon request”.

This is when a person is deregistered without receiving a new registration, without a new address. Such situations are not uncommon.

For example : a person is selling an apartment, but has not yet bought a new one. And according to the terms of the agreement, immediately after the transaction is completed, the transaction must be removed from the register. Since there is no new housing, and there are no relatives ready to register it, the deregistration is carried out unilaterally. That is, the citizen is temporarily left without registration at all.

So, how to check out of the apartment to “nowhere”. Where should I go, what documents should I submit, what is the deadline for deregistration?

Where to go

At the choice of a citizen, you can pay a visit to one of the following institutions:

• servicing management company, housing department, homeowners' association, etc.;
• territorial branch of the MFC;
• Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In this case, the application is possible either in person, or by mail (if there was a temporary registration), or through the State Services website.

Which documents

The package of documents, to be honest, is small:

1. citizen’s passport and its copy. The passport must be valid and have a registration stamp.

2. application for deregistration at the place of residence. The application is filled out in any form, but must contain the following information:

• information about the person being issued (full name, year of birth, passport details);
• the address from which the citizen is being discharged;
• the place where it is planned to move in;

3. house book (if a person is evicted from a private house).

4. departure address sheet in two copies. The form of the form is available to the specialist who accepts the documents. A sample form is available on the information boards of the passport service.

What is illegal to demand?

• providing consent from the owner, tenant and other residents, that is, you can check out of the apartment without the knowledge of these persons;
• payment of state duty;
• military ID or registration. The migration department independently provides information on deregistration to the military registration and enlistment office;
• a certificate from the housing department confirming that there are no rent debts;
• documents for new housing. Although until recently they required mandatory documents for the apartment where they plan to move.

To confirm the delivery of documents, the citizen is given a receipt.

You can check out of your home in absentia, that is, by power of attorney. A citizen can entrust this procedure to a trusted person by registering it with a notary.

There is no difference between leaving a privatized or municipal apartment. Just as there is no difference in who is deregistered - the tenant or the owner or simply the persons registered there.

Deadline for de-registration

This is done within:

• up to 6 days , in the case when documents are submitted to the HOA, housing department, MFC.
• 1 day if applying through the State Services portal. That is, after sending the application, you receive a notification that you will appear within 3 days at the migration department. On the day of your appearance, your passport will be stamped indicating that your registration has been cancelled.

But it should be borne in mind that such deadlines are often extended due to the fact that the deregistration procedure falls on holidays. Then it is impossible to accurately calculate how long it will take to be discharged.

Advice: if you need an identification document, then during the procedure, ask the specialist to register it. authority issuing a document temporarily replacing a passport.

How to register

On the appointed date, you must appear at the institution where the documents were submitted. You will be given a passport with a discharge stamp and a second copy of the departure slip.

Be careful: from the day of deregistration, the seven-day mandatory registration period begins to run. For missing this deadline, an administrative fine of 2,000 to 3,000 rubles is provided.

If abroad

You can register even while abroad. There is no need to come to the Russian Federation. It is enough to write a free-form application (it is important to indicate the place of current residence abroad) and make a copy of your passport. All this is certified at the consular office. And then it is sent by mail to the territorial migration department (at the place of deregistration). Next, everything will be done by the employees of the regulatory authority.

Regarding temporary registration

Often, deregistration from an apartment, house, or room without simultaneous registration is carried out not only with permanent, but also with temporary registration.

To terminate temporary registration you need to do the same steps. Only it's even simpler. The package of documents includes only an application (no need to present a passport). The application itself can be submitted not only by the person being discharged, but also by the owner of the apartment where the citizen lived.

And if the registration period has expired, it terminates automatically.

You can check out of your home as part of a single registration-discharge procedure. When registering at a new place of residence, passport service specialists send a request to the migration department at your old address. And deregistration at the place of residence is carried out automatically, simultaneously with registration.

Where to go

With this option, the question of where to check out of the living space has the same answer as for the first method. To submit documents, you must contact the citizen’s choice of:

• Housing department, homeowners association, etc.;
• MFC branch;
• Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
• through the State Services website.

Only the specified institutions should operate in the territory where you are moving.

What documents are submitted?

• citizen's passport;
• housing document;
• document on the right of residence (lease agreement, rental agreement, etc.);
• application of the person registering (form No. 6). The application is signed by the citizen and the owner (main tenant). When filling out the application, do not miss the tear-off slip of the application (an additional bottom sheet for the extract). A sample form is available at the stand at the passport service;
• ​Consent of interested parties;
• Arrival sheet.

For detailed instructions on the requirements for documents submitted to the registry office, see Documents for registration.

Deadline for de-registration

The statement is made within:

• 3 working days if a citizen applies directly to the migration department;
• up to 7 working days , in the case when documents are submitted to the HOA, housing department, MFC;
• no more than 8 working days , when submitting an incomplete package of documents.

Registration of disposal

By the appointed day, the citizen must appear at the passport service where the documents were submitted. His passport is returned with a registration stamp. There will be a discharge stamp in front of it.

If during registration you forget to fill out part of the application for deregistration at your previous address, the deregistration will be made within 3 days from the date of receipt of permanent registration. This procedure is carried out automatically by the migration service, without the participation of the citizen. Accordingly, it is impossible to have permanent registration in two addresses at the same time.

Other grounds for discharge

In addition to these methods, there are other grounds for deregistration from place of residence:

1. Deregistration without the citizen's appearance at the passport service:

• when conscripted into the army;
• in the event of the death of a citizen;
• when a person is serving a sentence in prison.

2.​ By court decision (also in the absence of the evicted person):

• when a citizen is declared missing or dead;
• due to the loss of the right to housing;
• in case of cancellation of the previous registration.

A separate type of deregistration at the place of residence is the deregistration of a child (see how to deregister a child from an apartment).

Procedure for registering and checking out of an apartment

Registration and discharge are simple procedures, but they require the presence of the person being registered and the owner of the property. Although registration is formally only of a notification nature, it is the responsibility of a citizen of the Russian Federation. Living without registration is considered an administrative offense and is punishable by a fine. A person can be registered in one place and live in another. A passport stamp indicating citizen registration is necessary to track population migration. However, a person does not have any strict connection to the place of registration.

VIDEO ON THE TOPIC: Registration at the place of residence. Registration, check out from the apartment. Legal assistance, consultation

Registration at the place of residence, or registration in the apartment, is carried out to record the number of inhabitants of the apartment. This is necessary not only for control by the migration service, but also for the correct calculation of utility bills. When moving, citizens are required to register at their new place of residence within 10 days or apply for a temporary registration if they plan to live away from home for more than 90 days and are not discharged from their main place of residence.

There are several ways to check out of one apartment and register in another. The simplest one is to show up in person and do the whole procedure yourself.

But this is not always possible. The law provides for the possibility of automatic deregistration, by proxy and via the Internet. The law provides for cases when a person is obliged to deregister.

This applies to both owners and tenants of municipal housing, as well as those who live in an apartment without being its owner and tenant.

Indicating the address of the new place of residence in the application is not one of the duties of the citizen, so it is illegal for the registrar to demand that the new address be indicated.

De-registration is a right, not an obligation, of a tenant. When moving, it is not necessary to come to the old housing office for discharge. It is enough to contact the passport office at your place of residence with an application for permanent registration.

Passport office employees must themselves send the documents necessary to deregister from the previous place of registration.

This way he will know that the procedure was successful and there is no need for additional proceedings. If the applicant is registering his children, then their birth certificates will be required, as well as a document indicating his marital status.

The registrar accepts documents against signature. If the applicant is liable for military service, then he will be given a departure certificate, which must be presented at the military registration and enlistment office.

He must come back with the completed form, and he will be given a passport with a note about deregistration.

If the management company does not have a passport office, you can contact the migration service or the MFC. If a person cannot personally go to the passport office, he can use a power of attorney.

He needs to choose a confidant - most often a close relative or good friend. A special document - a power of attorney - is drawn up in his name at the notary.

It indicates exactly what actions the applicant has authorized his attorney to perform.

In addition to the standard documents, he must present the power of attorney and his passport at the passport office. In general, the procedure for issuing an extract is the same as for a personal application.

You can register at your new place of residence by sending the necessary documents with the exception of your passport by mail with notification of receipt.

Upon arrival at your new place of residence, you will only need to put a stamp in your passport. It will not be possible to register in this way, unless automatic deregistration is carried out, which must be notified in the application.

Dear readers, the information in this article may be out of date. If you want to find out how to solve your particular problem, please contact us through the online consultant form on the right or call:. The law, as before, obliges citizens to register at their place of temporary residence or permanent registration at their place of residence.

The migration service authorities carry out this procedure free of charge. Everything necessary to fill out the form is provided by the Federal Migration Service free of charge.

Filling out is carried out by the person moving in or moving out and the person providing the housing. If you decide to change your place of residence, then you should familiarize yourself with the registration procedure, which must be carried out by scrupulously following all the rules. Anticipating the question: how long does it take to check out of an apartment, we inform you that the procedure will take three working days.

If you are moving from one residence to another permanent residence, you must first cancel your registration at the place of departure. How many days are given for registration after discharge? If you violate the one-week deadline, you will be fined.

Disagreements on this matter can be resolved either by filing a complaint with your superiors or by going to court, for example, after a ruling on an administrative offense has been issued.

How to quickly check out of an apartment and register in another? For example, you are moving out of the apartment of your parents or relatives within the same region.

To carry out simultaneous registration at a new place of residence and cancellation of registration at the old address, two corresponding applications must be submitted. As a rule, this is one form that the Federal Migration Service employee will give you.

If there is none, the application for discharge can be written according to an approximate sample. Within two to four weeks from the date of submission of applications and documents, you will receive a passport with registration and deregistration stamps.

However, as practice shows, when moving long distances, it makes sense to carry out a classic, step-by-step re-registration. The simplified method may take several months. That is, you go to the passport office and check out. Even the one you never plan to live by will do.

Military registration and the notification registration procedure have nothing in common at the legislative level.

These are two different duties of a citizen of the Russian Federation, which are imposed on him by different articles of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and somewhat coincide in the time of their execution; registration with the military should take no more than 14 days.

Any demand from passport office employees for documents or military registration marks since August 14 of this year is unlawful. The lack of documentary evidence of a citizen’s military registration is not an obstacle to his registration. These circumstances have nothing to do with the registration procedure.

Although the state has been declaring registration at the place of residence since this year as a notification measure by which a citizen has the right to move within the Russian Federation without restrictions.

In addition to a fine for moving citizens, the law obliges homeowners to report non-relatives living on their territory without registration for more than 7 days.

The law allows 3 days for the owner of the territory to inform the authorities. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in a fine. Violators face a fine of one hundred thousand to half a million rubles or real imprisonment of up to 3 years.

The existing registration procedure does not require a report from the traveler regarding utility bills. If this problem arises, do not contact the passport officer, but directly to the Federal Migration Service.

When you need to sell your home quickly, you may need to sell an apartment with a registered person.

Is such a deal legal, and how to implement it. We are collecting documents for checkout from the apartment link. Let's consider the list of documents for extract and registration in various situations. And in general, is it possible to discharge any person without his consent? The legal rules regarding forced removal of non-owners and owners of residential space differ.

The homeowner can check out of the apartment only by expressing a voluntary desire to do so. Forcible deregistration is impossible, even if the ownership share is very small. Here you can try to initiate the sale of a share of ownership in the apartment through the court, if the owner has other housing and does not live in this area for a long time.

In the application you must indicate your personal data, address of current and future registration. After submitting all documents, you must wait for the established deadlines, after which you will be given a paper confirming the fact of discharge.

Let's look at how discharge and registration at the place of residence occurs. Not everyone knows, but every person can register at a new address without leaving the old one. Deregistration will be carried out by employees of the competent authorities.

Documents must be submitted to the passport office, housing office or multifunctional centers. You must have the following package of official papers with you:. The period of discharge and registration at the place of residence will depend on which of the organizations you applied to:.

Within the specified period, you must pick up your passport, which will have a stamp indicating registration in the new place. It will mean that you have been discharged from your old apartment. If you sold your old home, but have not yet bought a new one, then the process of deregistration will go like this: A document confirming departure is valid for a month and is essential for registering at a new place.

If you do not have time to stand in line, a representative can remove you from registration. To do this, you should write a power of attorney with a notary in advance.

Your representative must appear at the passport office with the documents listed above. Call in advance and check with the employees whether they issue an extract by power of attorney.

Then employees are also provided with paper confirming one of the above circumstances.

Thanks to my work as a realtor, I communicate with different people very often. Naturally, I ask who works for whom. One day a woman came to me and needed to sell her apartment.

Depending on whether the registration is permanent or temporary, the rules for deregistration from apartments have some differences. In addition, the circumstances in each individual case are also important, for example, deregistration of a child or a person liable for military service, eviction of the owner or tenant from a municipal apartment.

On the other hand, we must not forget that registration for migration at the place of residence or long-term stay is legally mandatory for all citizens who are within the Russian Federation.

Failure to do so will result in administrative penalties, as well as difficulties in finding employment, enrolling children in kindergarten and school, obtaining a medical insurance policy, subsidies, child support, and so on.

Some facts

Important! If you plan to check out and then register in the same city, then you don’t have to check out in advance. You can simply apply for registration in a new place and they will deregister you from the old one. The duration of the procedure is from 2 weeks to 1 month. However, if you register in another city, the process may take up to 2-3 months.

A leaflet - an insert confirming temporary registration at the place of stay, upon the arrival of the period specified in it, automatically ceases to be valid.

What documents are needed to check out of the apartment?

The main documents with which to undergo the procedure of deregistration from an apartment at the place of permanent residence are the exhaustive list of documents specified in the regulations. You can find out how a person is discharged through the court on our website.

A citizen of the Russian Federation leaving for another place of residence must contact the passport office - branch of the local Federal Migration Service with a package of the following documents:

• the applicant's identity card - passport or birth certificate for minor citizens;
• application in form No. 6 from the Appendix to the AR;
• house book, if available;
• departure address sheet - form No. 7;
• statistical departure sheet for citizens who make up a special group - those traveling outside the Russian Federation and other citizens provided for by law.

The previously practiced, mandatory requirement for all persons liable for military service, to provide a military ID with a mark from the military registration and enlistment office indicating deregistration from military registration at the place of residence was abolished by law by a Government Resolution back in 2002.

Any requirement to present this document is illegal. FMS employees must still send information about the departure from the registration register of a citizen of the Russian Federation liable for military service to the territorial department of the military registration and enlistment office.

All actions to register at the place of residence, stay or deregistration are completely free for citizens of the Russian Federation. You can also check out to nowhere, read more about this here. Employees of the territorial Federal Migration Service must provide free and unconditional comprehensive information on the question of what documents are needed to check out of the apartment.

You can check out from your previous place of residence. However, this procedure does not make much sense today, since automatic discharge is possible.

This process can be accelerated if the citizen himself attends the discharge.

From this we conclude that a citizen has the right to move into a new home, either by first checking out or by checking out at the same time as registration in the new home, even when he lived in another locality.

List of documents for registration at the place of residence:

• Passport.
• Application for registration.
• A document confirming the right to move into housing.
• Departure sheet (if the person has checked out of the apartment in advance).
• Birth certificate (for persons under 14 years of age).
• House book (if registration is in a private house).

Next, we will consider each point in more detail.

1. Identity document of citizens of the Russian Federation. At the time of presentation of the passport, it must not be expired, damaged or have incorrect information. Let’s say that if you find an error in your passport in the marriage stamp, you will have to first correct the document and only then submit documents for registration. You only need to present the original document, because it will be confiscated from the citizen for a while in order to make the necessary mark. But there are situations when there is no passport.
2. Application of the person registering. This application is written on a standard form, which is issued by the employee accepting the application. In some institutions that process registration, this form may be common for the person registering and for the home owner. There are organizations where you need to fill out an arrival form.
3. A document confirming the right to move into housing - a certificate of ownership, a lease agreement, etc.
4. Departure sheet. It is presented if the person has checked out of the apartment in advance. Such a sheet must be filled out by an official.
5. Birth certificate - for persons under 14 years of age. When a child reaches the age of 14, an application for a passport must be submitted.

What to do if you lost your passport? You need to go to the migration department and restore the document, because it is impossible to replace a passport with other documents proving a person’s identity. There you can also restore your birth certificate if it is lost.

List of documents for registration at the place of stay:

1. Passport.
2. Extract from the house register.
3. Confirmation of consent of interested parties.
4. Statement from the owner or tenant.

Next, we will consider each point in more detail.

1. Passport.
2. Extract from the house register. Depending on whether the apartment is private or municipal, this confirmation can be: a certificate of ownership, a warrant or a rental agreement. Typically, the employee is given copies of such documents, and the originals are shown for comparison with the copies. The law on registration allows not to present such documents, but practice shows that with their provision, registration is completed much faster.
3. Confirmation of consent of interested parties. When housing is personally owned, its owners are required to take their passports with them when submitting a package of documents for registration of a new resident. The owners give their consent to the registration of the citizen by putting their signatures in a special column. When a home has several owners, they can give a power of attorney to represent the interests of one of the owners. The power of attorney must be certified by a notary. When housing is municipal, the consent of all residents living in it and the local government will be required, since it is the landlord of the apartment.
4. Statement from the owner or tenant. It is written in any form under the control of a passport office employee. It must contain information about the address and type of housing, type of ownership, the person being registered and whether there is permission from the owner to provide registration. Applications for registration can be submitted either in person or online through government services.

If something happened to your passport, you should find out whether it is possible to replace your passport if it is damaged.

Fact

Sample application for registration at place of residence

Since the procedure takes a long time, during which a person may need a passport to submit to other organizations, he has the right to request a document that temporarily replaces the passport, but one must understand that this will be an additional concern and a waste of time.

Important

Registration is completely free. There is no state fee for registration, but employees of housing departments and MFCs sometimes offer paid services for writing documents, which must be reported in advance. A citizen has every right to refuse such assistance.

There are sources where a military ID is included in the package of documents; in fact, it is not required. When moving, a citizen is obliged to independently contact the military registration and enlistment office to change information about the place of registration.

When the person being registered does not have the opportunity to be present when submitting documents, he has the right to issue a power of attorney to represent his interests by another person. Citizens have the right to register in any housing located within the territory of Russia, with the consent of the owner.

Also, many are interested in the question of how to register a newborn at the father’s place of residence if the parents do not live together. Usually the child is registered at the place of residence of the mother, and in order to register at the place of residence of the father, the written consent of the mother of the newborn is required.

So how long can you live without registration? If a person temporarily lives in a foreign city, then he can stay there for 90 days, after their expiration he is required to register with the Federal Migration Service. Representatives of the Federal Migration Service will register such a person within 8 working days.

In this case, a temporary registration is issued, which should be applied for no later than 3 months. After this period of time, permanent registration must be carried out.

Registration of citizens at their place of stay is carried out without deregistration at their place of residence.

When a person changes his permanent location, he has 7 days to apply for registration.

How long can you live without registration in your passport? The registration stamp is entered into the passport at the place of permanent residence, that is, if living in your apartment, you must put the stamp within 7 days.

Important

Citizens often believe that they are obliged to make a new registration 7 days from the date of discharge. This is a misconception. The Law on Registration at the Place of Residence states that it is the responsibility of a citizen to register a residence permit within 7 days of moving into a new home.

There are cases when living without registration is not punishable:

1. Residence of an unregistered person with the owner of the property, who is a close relative. Close relatives include: children (natural and adoptive), parents, spouses, grandchildren, grandparents.
2. If a citizen living in the city is registered at one address, but lives temporarily at another address, he does not need to make a new registration. This rule also applies in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
3. Citizens have the right not to make a new registration when they change temporary housing within the federal subject in which they are already registered. This rule also applies to federal cities. Residents of the Moscow region can temporarily reside in Moscow, and residents of the Leningrad region in St. Petersburg.
4. A valid reason could be being hospitalized, an unexpected business trip, etc.

In order to encourage citizens to register, administrative fines were introduced. But it is not always easy to persuade the owner of the property to allow you to live in his apartment, due to various concerns. Therefore, there are penalties not only for persons who are not registered anywhere, but also for home owners who allow such citizens to live in their apartments.

Penalties for lack of registration:

1. Persons who have not legally received registration at their place of residence or temporary residence are fined 2,000-3,000 rubles. If this violation is committed in Moscow or St. Petersburg, then the fine increases to 3,000-5,000 rubles.
2. Citizens who allow persons without registration to reside in their homes are punished in the amount of 3,000-5,000 rubles. If this offense occurred in Moscow or St. Petersburg, the fine will be 5,000-7,000 rubles.
3. When a person lives in an apartment without registration, and the owner of the property is a legal entity, then this organization will be fined in the amount of 50,000 - 757,000 rubles. Legal entities committing this offense in cities of federal significance receive fines in the amount of 250,000-750,000 rubles (Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, Article 19.15.1)

Penalty for late registration. The law does not provide for a separate punishment for such a violation. Persons who are late in obtaining registration bear the same responsibility as those who did not receive it, that is, 2000-3000 rubles. The expiration date does not matter.

This usually happens like this: the local police officer, who has learned about the expiration of the registration period, draws up a protocol on illegal residence and recommends registration. If, upon returning a week later, the citizen has not completed registration, the local police officer will draw up another report, but then the violator will have to pay double the fine.

If a private house is located in the city, then to register you can contact a passport officer, who can be found at the management company servicing the house. In the case of country houses, after registering a private house, you need to contact the local administration performing the functions of the Federal Migration Service or the passport office to obtain registration.

Documents for registration in a private house:

1. Statement.
2. Permission from the owner, if this is someone else's house, or a certificate confirming ownership, wishing to obtain registration.
3. Passport.
4. Birth certificate for children.
5. Title documents for the house.

Read also a separate article: what is the difference between registration and registration.

We have already discussed how to change your registration, as well as what documents are needed. The question arises: do you need to change any documents after receiving a new registration?

Upon receiving temporary registration, the citizen is given a certificate indicating the address of his temporary registration and the validity period, which he agreed on with the owner of the home.

After a change of permanent registration, two stamps are affixed to a person’s passport: the first about an extract from the old place of residence, the second about registration in a new one.

There are simply no other documents reflecting registration information, which means nothing will have to be changed.

And yet, when changing place of residence and registration, a citizen must realize that there are organizations that need this information, and independently report all changes. Examples of such organizations are: the Pension Fund, the traffic police, the military registration and enlistment office, clinics, and so on.

Do I need to change my TIN when changing my registration? Usually, when moving, tax services will transfer all the necessary information to the Federal Tax Service at the new place of residence. Therefore, there is no need to worry about this.

What is the difference between registration and registration? The main difference between these concepts is that registration is a confirmation of a citizen’s permission to reside on the territory of Russia, and registration is a notification that contains information about where a person lives.

Registration without right of residence. There are cases when the owner of the home in which a person lives does not give permission for registration.

And so that a citizen can continue to live peacefully in this city, relatives or acquaintances can come to his aid and register him in their home, but he will not live there.

In this situation, a registration agreement without the right of residence is drawn up, in which all the terms of the agreement are discussed in detail. With such an agreement it is much easier to resolve any property dispute if it suddenly arises.
