A person who lives at a single address throughout his life is a rarity. Changing jobs, personal circumstances, and improving housing issues force citizens to change their registration several times. When changing their permanent residence address, Russian citizens are required to find out what documents are needed to check out of their apartment and resolve the issue of obtaining a new registration within 7 days.
The process is strictly regulated by legislation, and the list of required papers is determined taking into account many factors. There are general requirements for documentation, which is most often required when registering for another property.
Why do you need a receipt?
A receipt for receipt of documents is written evidence that certain official papers were transferred from one person to another.
It is permissible to use a receipt regardless of whether the receiving person is an employee of any organization or an ordinary citizen of the Russian Federation.
From the moment the documents change hands, responsibility for their safety shifts to the person who accepted them.
In some cases, a receipt for receipt of documents is mandatory (usually when it comes to government agencies), and sometimes it is voluntary, although recommended.
At the same time, it is still not worth neglecting to draw up a receipt if for some reason you need to transfer your documents to someone - the fact is that if the papers specified in the receipt are damaged or lost, they must be restored, just like paying various fines and government duties, the direct culprit will have to pay.
This is especially important if such important papers as:
- personal documents (passports, birth certificates, SNILS, INN, etc.);
- certificates of title to real estate;
- certificates of tax registration, etc.
We must not forget that in situations where disputes and conflicts arise between the parties involved in drawing up the receipt, as a result of which one of them decides to go to court, it is the receipt that becomes the official document that proves the fact of transfer of documents .
How to register
In addition to the fact that in order to register, a person will need to collect a certain package of documents, it is also necessary to obtain the consent of the property owners for registration.
This will be necessary only on the condition that there will be several of them, and the living space itself will be privatized.
In a situation where there are many owners, this process is quite difficult to organize, even if we take into account that all owners agree.
In this case, the person being registered will have to take all the necessary persons to the institution to obtain registration, or to a notary to formalize the consent in documentary form.
If registration is carried out in a privatized apartment, then the citizen being registered must have the following documents on hand:
- A sheet that characterizes departure from the previous place of registration.
- Passport for an adult citizen, or certificate for persons under 14 years of age.
- Owner approval in writing.
- Documents proving the right to own the living space.
- Certificate of marital status.
When is the document most often used?
There are many circumstances under which it is necessary to transfer any documents into the wrong hands:
- registration at place of residence;
- purchase and sale of real estate;
- interaction with tax authorities on various issues;
- transfer of the right to represent one’s interests in various institutions to another citizen;
- obtaining a loan from a bank, etc.
It must be said that sometimes the transfer of documents is formalized by an act of acceptance, but usually this practice is used in relations between legal entities (enterprises and organizations), although the essence and structure of both documents are for the most part very similar and they have almost equal legal force.
Application for registration from the owner - sample
In general, such an application can be submitted in different ways. The first and most convenient option is to use the single portal “Government Services”.
On the website of this portal, a person can find the appropriate service and use it.
You will need to follow the following procedure:
- Find the section “Authorities” and follow the link “Federal Migration Service”.
- Then you need to find the required service. Here it is called “Registration of citizens at the place of residence”.
- You must select this service and enter your profile credentials.
- Then you must fill in your personal information and then click on the “Next” button.
- The resource contains various electronic tips. Following them, you will need to fill out all the other required information.
- After this, you need to decide on the nearest department of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, mark it and click “Submit an application”.
Then the person will receive a notification that they need to visit the control authority within 3 days. You will need to bring the necessary documents with you.
After the information has been verified, a stamp is placed in the citizen’s passport. It is important to understand that if a person is denied registration, he will definitely find out the reason for such refusal.
It is also worth considering that if a person does not come to the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs three days after receiving the notification, then the application will not be considered further.
As for the second option, here the person must personally visit the department of the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In order not to waste a lot of time, a citizen can fill it out immediately on the spot.
The application should indicate the following information:
- Date of Birth.
- Full name.
- Old registration address.
- Name of the department of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
- Display the details of the registration certificate.
- Applicant's passport details.
- Signature and date.
Currently, you can find a sample application here.

From the owner
Regarding the issue of registration from the owner, it is worth paying special attention to the fact that consent is required from all persons having the right of ownership, which will be expressed in writing.
Only if this paper is available, as well as the presence of all owners during the registration procedure, can a person be registered in the living space.
It should be understood that the registration process here must necessarily be accompanied by a personal visit to the territorial unit of the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with all the necessary documents.
It will not be possible to submit documents through “State Services” here - you can only use the service of making an appointment for a certain time.
At the place of residence
In such a situation, submitting an electronic application would be the most logical and simple measure, since such an opportunity to transfer documents in this situation is welcome.
The process of sending documents electronically should be treated responsibly, because if a person does not send at least one of the required documents, or does not provide the complete necessary information about himself, the application will not be considered by registration service specialists.
True, if we rely on statistics, still a large number of citizens do not trust this method of submitting an application.
If a person applies directly to the passport office, then in this situation he will be able to accurately fill out the application, and also immediately find out all the information he is interested in from specialists.
Moreover, despite the fact that this method of submitting an application will take longer, people choose it precisely because it is more informative.
Do I need to get it certified by a notary?
The obligation to certify a receipt for receiving documents from a notary is not stipulated in the legislation of the Russian Federation, therefore, in each case, the parties independently decide whether they need to do this.
We will only note that the fact of having the autograph of an employee of a notary office gives the receipt significant significance, so it should not be neglected, especially if the documents are not transferred to official government bodies, but into the hands of a citizen of the Russian Federation.
The only inconvenience here is time and additional cash costs.
List of papers

Just in case, if a citizen turns to the passport officer of the housing department, homeowners association or management company, it is better to obtain here, in the accounting department, a certificate of absence of debts on rent and utility bills, in order to exclude refusal for this reason.
Witnesses. Are they necessary?
Some people, when transferring their documents to someone, prudently enlist the support of witnesses. These can be any uninterested persons (adults and capable), information about whom is also included in the receipt (their full name, passport details and registration address).
With their signatures, the witnesses confirm that certain papers were transferred in exactly the quantity and condition indicated in the receipt.
Thus, in a certain way, witnesses perform the role of a notary.

How to create and issue a receipt
If you need to draw up a receipt for receiving documents, use the tips below and pay attention to our sample.
General information
A receipt for receipt of documents is formed in simple written form in any form on a regular sheet of paper or on a unified company letterhead (if documents are accepted by a state or commercial organization).
It is also possible to print the receipt on a computer, but if we are talking about individuals, then this method of execution is not the best, since in the event of disagreements between the parties, it will be difficult to conduct a handwriting study.
Contents of the receipt for the transfer of documents
- The contents of the receipt must include:
- date and place of its compilation;
- last name, first name and patronymic of the person who accepts the documents, his passport details, registration address and place of residence;
- in the same way, information about who is giving the papers is entered in the receipt.
- Next, enter the type of documents being transferred - here it is important to write not only their name, but also the number (if any) and other identification characteristics - if desired, this part of the form can be formatted in the form of a table.
- It is also important to note for what purposes the documents are transferred, in what quantity and on how many sheets, as well as when they should be returned to the owner.
- Finally, the receipt should be certified by the autograph of the person who takes the documents (in this case, you need to make sure that the signature matches the one in his passport) and the signatures of witnesses, if they were present when the documents were handed over.
The receipt, as a rule, is made in a single copy and remains in the hands of the person who transferred the documents. After the papers are returned, in order to avoid further misunderstandings, the receipt should be given to the person who wrote it.
Procedure for 2020
In order to begin the process of registration in the owner's living space this year, it is necessary to keep in mind two developments. The first option is that the person who registers is not the owner of the property.

In this situation, he undertakes to initially obtain consent from all existing owners of this living space.
It should be understood that approval from the people living in the apartment and registered people is not required at all.
The second situation is when the person being registered is himself the owner of the residential premises. Here he will not need any consent, even if there are other owners of the living space, and the person being registered owns only a share of the housing.
Accordingly, the main requirement on the part of the regulatory authorities is the availability of written consent from the owners, as well as their presence during the registration procedure.
If the owner himself is registered, his consent is not required, except for the situation when the person being registered is a third party.
The owner must collect the necessary documents for registration, as well as write an application according to the established template to the control body selected in advance.
These may currently include:
- Federal Migration Service.
- MFC.
- Housing department
In such a situation, the owner will be able to register without unnecessary problems and hassle, without relying on the necessary standards for square footage, which is limited per person, because the living space will be owned by the person being registered.
At the same time, we should not forget about the difference between the concepts of “registration” and “registration”. A large number of people believe that these concepts are equivalent, but in reality this is not entirely true.
The fact is that registration is based on the permitting process, while the registration of a person presupposes a notification nature of the procedure.

Sometimes the seller asks to make concessions and not discharge a citizen from the apartment due to specific circumstances.
