Russia does not have a permit system for registration. The term has survived as a relic of Soviet housing law. It is advisable to replace it with the concepts of “permanent and temporary registration”.
The registration period ranges from 3 to 7 days and depends on the completeness and accuracy of the submitted documents. When registering, the presence of the owner of the apartment or other residential premises is required. The absence of the owner and representation of his interests under a notarized power of attorney may raise questions from the employees of the passport office or the MFC.
What it is
Registration provides the right to permanently or temporarily use the living space for its intended purpose.
Along with the rights, a citizen has responsibilities to maintain housing in proper condition and pay for utilities.
A record of registration at the place of residence is indicated in the citizen’s passport and must be for all persons with permanent or temporary residence.
To obtain registration, the owner must submit a title document for the property, fill out Form No. 6 - application for permanent registration and receive a receipt for acceptance of documents.
If a citizen registers in a privatized apartment, then permission from all property owners is required.
Required certificates and documents
To obtain a new stamp, you must submit to the registrar:
- application of the established form;
- internal passport;
- documents on ownership or a power of attorney from the owner with an apostille to carry out registration actions by a third party;
- departure slip (optional);
- for military personnel - registration or military ID.
Documents must be submitted in original and supported by copies. A corresponding receipt is drawn up regarding the seizure of documents for inspection.

Legislation
Before you find out how long it takes to register in a passport, you need to briefly familiarize yourself with the legislation governing this issue.
The procedure for obtaining permanent and temporary registration is regulated by Government Decree No. 713 of 1995.
According to clause 16 of the document, the owner of the property is obliged to appear at the registration documents at the place of residence within 10 days after being removed from the previous place of registration. Failure to comply with this rule may result in administrative liability under Art. 19.15.1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation .
Design features
The procedure for permanent registration of different categories of citizens has its own subtleties. This applies to minor children, military personnel, students, and nomadic peoples of the North. The action is regulated by Government Decree No. 713.
For minors
The place of residence of children under 14 years of age is considered to be the place of residence of their parents or guardians (Article 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). Accordingly, the child will be registered only at the same address where his parent (one or both) is registered. In this case, the owner's permission is not required.
This obligation also applies to minor owners/co-owners of living space.
A young citizen over 14 years of age and until adulthood is able to independently participate in the registration process with the approval and in the presence of a parent. He can register separately from his legal representatives, for example, with a relative, but the consent of the home owner will be required.

For military personnel
Military registration is carried out on a general basis. An exception is made for conscripts who cannot obtain permanent registration in the barracks.
Contractors are registered at the location of their units. The same rule applies to their family members. If a service apartment has become municipal property, then they have the right to initiate privatization and then obtain permanent registration.
For the nomadic small peoples of the North
Nomads have the opportunity to register in any settlement that is located within the border of the nomads, at the address of the local administration. In this case, the traditional place of residence of the people and economic activities are taken into account.
General terms
With properly executed documents, the time frame for permanent and temporary registration is minimal.
Timing may become more difficult if:
- loss of documents;
- processing additional requests;
- lack of consent of citizens for registration.
It is legally required that all registration actions be completed within a reasonable time.
Constant
Permanent registration will not take more than a week.
The administrative regulations of the passport office employees establish a minimum registration period of 1 day .
The period includes the period for filing an application and processing the submitted documentation. If necessary, requests are made at the applicant’s previous place of residence. The deadlines for obtaining registration under a temporary residence permit are similar.
Temporal
If a citizen has left for another locality for a period of more than 90 days , then he is required to register temporarily. The place of registration can be any property suitable for habitation.
The registration period is similar and is not less than one day.
Temporary registration can be obtained at medical and social institutions, boarding houses at places of recreation and residence. A citizen should fill out an application in Form No. 1 and attach the necessary documents to it.
With different delivery methods
Registration deadlines for different submission methods differ slightly.
The registration procedure may differ significantly if it is accompanied by a dispute over the right.
Then registration at the place of residence will be completed only after the obstacles to registration have been eliminated through administrative or judicial procedures.
Personally
It is quite easy to obtain permanent or temporary registration by personally appearing at the passport office of the apartment owner and tenant.
The application is drawn up on behalf of a citizen who wishes to obtain registration for the living space.
The owner of the apartment expresses his consent with his signature. The document processing time is average and is three days .
By mail
To register by mail, you need to send an application with a notarized signature, a copy of your passport, and a copy of the title document for the property.
If registration is made for a child, then you will need a notarized copy of his birth certificate.
The application must be reviewed within 7-12 days after acceptance. It is advisable to send the letter in registered form.
Through the Internet
You can register online through the government services website .
To do this, you need to pre-register on the portal, indicating your number, passport series, information about SNILS and TIN.
Through MFC
The MFC does not process registration, but transfers documents, using an interdepartmental communication channel, to the passport office.
Usually the period for registration through the MFC is 2 days .
Documents will be returned if incorrect information is provided.
What does the constant depend on?
Consent to permanent registration is given only by the owner or tenant of the residential premises. Exceptions are cases when a citizen registers on the basis of a court decision. In this order, you can register the child at the parent’s place of residence, even if he objects to this.
The price of registration is low. There is no state registration fee to be paid.
The average cost of intermediary services, as well as filling out forms, is as follows:
| Locality | Price |
| Moscow | 800 rub. |
| Moscow region | 600 rub. |
| Saint Petersburg | 700 rub. |
| Leningrad region | 600 rub. |
However, the applicant has the right to fill out the application independently. Officials do not have the right to refuse to register them on the basis of unwillingness to pay for the services of an intermediary.

Without home ownership
Registration is not considered the basis for the emergence of property rights to housing.
It only provides the opportunity to use the apartment.
When the owner of the property changes, the registration of the remaining residents is terminated, but people may not be discharged if they live in the apartment under a permanent use agreement. If disagreements arise, citizens will have to be forcibly discharged through the court.
With a guaranteed period
The period of permanent registration is 1 year .
There is no guaranteed period of registration.
If it is indefinite, this means that the registered tenant has the right to use the property on a permanent basis. Any obstacle may be fraught with legal proceedings, the subject of which may be the forced occupancy of citizens into living space.
Documentation
To get a new stamp in your passport, you need to prepare a certain package of papers:
- Passport confirming Russian citizenship.
- Birth certificate (if you need to register a child).
- Documents confirming the ownership of housing or a lease agreement.
- Statement.
- It is worth noting that if registration is carried out in someone else’s living space, then you will additionally need:
- Homeowner's passports.
- Consent of all residents living in this area.
The list of documents may vary depending on the specific situation. For example, if:
- One of the parents needs to register the child, then the consent of the second parent must be provided to the passport office, in addition to other documents.
- Persons under guardianship or guardianship live in the apartment; permission is additionally issued from the relevant authorities.
- A person who wants to change his address when moving, then the package of documents is supplemented with a form reflecting the fact of departure.

In addition, in order to change their registration, the interested person must fill out a special application.
The following data is entered into it:
- The name of the government body where the documents will be registered.
- Full name of the applicant.
- Date of birth and address.
- Information about the company or person providing the accommodation.
- Grounds that confer the right of ownership.
- Address of the apartment or house.
- Passport details.
It is best to fill out the application under the supervision of a specialist, because you need to take into account certain nuances. For example, if you need to register a child who has not reached 14 years of age, then the form is drawn up by the parents and they are assigned the right to sign. If a minor fills out all the data independently, then at the bottom of the form, along with his signature, a certifying signature from the parents or persons replacing them is placed.
If registered in another city
The applicant does not need to deregister at his previous place of residence. This can be done upon request during registration. At the bottom of the form there is a fragmentary fragment that is filled out by an employee of the passport office.
Removal from the previous place of registration and registration are then processed simultaneously.
After handing over the passport, the citizen is issued a receipt or temporary certificate (at his request).
