General information about registration

Resolution 713 developed registration rules back in 1995. The rules are still relevant today, but they change occasionally (the last changes were made in February 2020).

According to the rules of the Rules, registration can be:

permanent (in one’s own apartment or house, with relatives or in other housing, including rented housing, where a person has settled for a long time);
temporary (for the period of study, work, recreation or for other reasons, when a person leaves his permanent home for another longer than 3 months).

Where can I apply?

Although the Migration Service (FMS) was abolished in April 2016, its functions were transferred to the departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on migration issues. Passport offices operate in the same mode and at the same addresses, the same documents are required. That is, except for the name, nothing has changed.

As before, it is the passport office that deals with registration/extract. If the procedure is completed in another place, the registration information still flows here and is entered into the federal register.

But the passport office is not the only organization involved in registration. You can also contact other authorities:

to the passport officer of the management company, if the house is under its management;
to the passport officers of the housing cooperative, HOA or developer, if the house is managed independently;
in the MFC, if the house is private or in an apartment building there is no passport officer or housing department (today, multifunctional centers operating on the one-stop-shop principle are located in almost all cities and regions).

How to register or register at the place of residence through the MFC, and whether it is possible to register temporarily, read here.

Passport officers complete the paperwork and submit it to federal registrars.

General provisions on registration of military personnel

Persons undergoing compulsory military service are not free to choose their place of residence and are forced to live at the location of the military unit or the place of performance of official duties. In the same way, military personnel under contract do not have the right to arbitrarily change their place of residence before the expiration of the contract.

It follows from this that during the period of military service they must live somewhere and be registered so as not to violate the provisions of the legislation of the Russian Federation on mandatory registration of citizens.

This issue can be easily resolved directly with a conscript. For the entire period of conscription service, he is registered on the territory of the military unit and, if it is necessary to perform legally significant actions, a registration mark is affixed to his military ID, which replaces a civilian passport for the duration of his service.

The situation is more complicated with the registration of military personnel who have voluntarily chosen military service as their profession and have entered into a fixed-term contract with the Russian Defense Ministry.

By the time the contract is concluded, this category of employees must be registered somewhere. Otherwise, it is impossible to conclude a contract. This may be temporary, official or municipal housing, for which the contract employee did not have ownership rights, but there may also be a share in residential premises owned by personal property rights.

A natural question arises whether a serviceman needs to register at the place of service, because at the end of the contract he can return to his previous place of residence, but during this time the living quarters in which he lived will be transferred to another. It will be impossible to restore the right to it if it is not registered as property.

The answer to this question is contained in the law “On the Status of Military Personnel”.

Part 3 art. 15 of which provides that a contract serviceman or an officer who arrives at a new duty station in another locality cannot be deprived of his constitutional right to register at his place of residence. If accommodation is not provided immediately upon arrival, it must be registered at the location of the military unit. The same right applies to members of his family:

The influence of family ties on registration

What to do if you need a wife’s registration in her husband’s apartment, a relative’s registration in the apartment, or a non-relative’s or mother’s registration in the apartment? Registration rules do not make any difference between the relatives of the owner of the premises or strangers if the apartment is privatized. That is, the owner is free to register anyone he wants in his home . Registration algorithm:

the new tenant and the owner of the apartment go to the passport officer together;
The documents needed are: passports, children's certificates, property certificates and, if required, a house register (or apartment card).

Important! If the registration is permanent, the owner must take into account that the tenant can only be discharged by the court!

Another case is if the apartment is municipal. According to the rule of Article 70 of the Housing Code, only family members (or a stranger, but only as a family member) can be registered in such an apartment. How to correctly register in a non-privatized and municipal apartment, what the law says about such registration, read here.

In this case, the following conditions must be met:

The procedure for registering a military personnel

To register at the address of the military unit, in addition to the report addressed to the commander, the serviceman fills out an application on form No. 6.

The application must be accompanied by passports of all family members (wife, parents), birth certificates of children.

The commander may make a negative decision regarding the registration of family members if they are provided with living quarters at the location of the military unit. But in relation to minor children, such a refusal is unacceptable. At the request of a military parent, minor children can be registered at the same address as himself - on the territory of the military unit.

Questions regarding the registration of military personnel arise in cases where, during a transfer to a new duty station, family members remain living in the residential premises previously provided by the Defense Ministry. Or the serviceman himself is provided with living quarters, but applies for official living quarters, deliberately worsening his situation - by deregistering the apartment he owns and applying for a service apartment at his place of service.

Extensive judicial practice has developed to resolve issues related to the registration of military personnel. But each situation is resolved individually and cannot be recommended for use without taking into account the personal circumstances of the refusal to register.

Registration in the city or outside the city

In the city, you can register with the passport officer of the cooperative, the management company, at the MFC, or directly at the passport office.

Typically, house books or apartment cards are kept by them, so their presentation during registration is not required. What about rural or regional registration?

In regional settlements - villages and hamlets, registration was previously handled by village councils. But now these functions have been transferred to migration departments .

This means that you need to go exactly there – to the passport offices. But you can also come to the district MFC, which is preferable:

the centers are located geographically in the district, and not in the city;
There are significantly fewer people in them, and there are more registrars (you will save time).

But you need to take into account that in an individual house the house register is kept by the owner, so take it with you if you plan to register permanently. Passports are also needed (as well as certificates for children).

Attention! Registration in a village will be cheaper for the homeowner, since the difference in paying for utilities in the city and the countryside is quite significant.

And if the person registered agrees to pay for registration (at a time or as part of utility bills), then he will also save. These are the pros and cons of registration in a village, including the disadvantages of regional registration.

Registration in a service apartment

Sometimes employees of organizations move into houses of a specialized fund. These could be dormitories or high-rise buildings that rightfully belong to the employing organization. The employment contract is signed for the duration of the work .

It is the agreement that will be the basis for registration. However, the conditions for registration in a service apartment are no different from registration in municipal housing - only family members can be registered .

Residents are registered with passport officers based on the following documents:

rental agreement;
passports and certificates of children;
written consent for registration of all apartment residents.

Child registration

To do this, you need to enter the details of your birth certificate in your application for registration. The result of registration of children is a certificate of permanent or temporary registration.

Disabled person

What do you need to know when registering disabled people? There are no special features for registering people of this category, that is, the procedure is drawn up according to the general rule. However, disability can affect mobility. If a person is physically unable to come to the passport officer in person, he can be registered through a representative .

To do this, you need to issue a power of attorney and have it certified:

at a notary;
the head physician (if the disabled person is undergoing treatment or in a social institution);
at the place of residence (in KOS, KUM, by the chairman of the cooperative, HOA or house committee).

At the same time, a specialist can be called to your home (for a certain fee).

If the disabled person is incapacitated, the guardian is responsible for registration. You must present the above documents, plus a custody decision.

Orphan registration

Until the age of 14, guardianship is established over orphans, and it is the guardian who acquires the rights of a parent. Therefore, the baby must be registered with a guardian or in an orphanage, which actually carries out guardianship functions. Children over this age are registered on a general basis.

In conclusion, a piece of advice: violating registration rules can lead to fines or, worse, a criminal record. Don’t forget that you need to register for permanent housing no later than a week from the date of entry, and for temporary housing no later than three months.

Contents of the question:

As a general rule, permanent registration is only possible in your own home. You can obtain permanent registration in an apartment other than your own only with the consent of the owner of the property. In other words, if you don’t have your own home yet, it is not necessary to have permanent registration. However, the law does not indicate that the lack of permanent residence and the presence of temporary registration is a punishable offense. Now, if a citizen has his own home, then the obligation arises to make permanent registration within 7 days. In addition, temporary registration has the same force as permanent registration, only for a different period. Therefore, it is not clear why you need constant registration so much. Apply for a temporary one and you won’t lose anything. You can register in a service apartment received from the Moscow Region, but only based on the terms of the agreement you concluded with the owner of the residential premises. If a specialized rental agreement is concluded for a certain period, for example, for the duration of a service contract, then they will register in a service apartment for the duration of the rental agreement for official residential premises at the place of stay (temporary registration), and if the rental agreement for official residential premises is concluded for an indefinite period, then must register at the place of residence (permanent registration).

Restrictions on this right are permitted on the basis of legal acts, as noted in Federal Law No. 5242-1, issued on June 25, 1993. It secures the rights of citizens to freedom of movement, choice of place of residence and residence throughout the country. All citizens are required to register within 7 days, counting from the date of arrival at their new place of residence.

Questions regarding the right to register in municipal housing are regulated by the Housing Code. It notes that the basis for registration is a social tenancy agreement. As for the procedure for determining the place of residence of Russian citizens, it is established in accordance with the standards of Article 20 of the Civil Code.
