What is an apartment card (form No. 10)? When and why to apply?

General points

The Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation has developed and approved an official document that records all persons staying or living in an apartment, regardless of the degree of relationship or other factors.

Apartment card is an official document containing comprehensive information about each citizen registered in residential real estate.

In addition to those currently residing, it also includes information about previously residing and departing persons.

At the same time, the reason for leaving housing is clearly indicated. Minor children are entered on this card every time their place of residence changes.

The apartment map serves as the basis for entering data into the arrival sheet at the new place of residence, which must be filled out at the address office.

As a result of maintaining apartment maps, government agencies have a real opportunity to control the arrival, departure and registration of all citizens in residential real estate throughout the Russian Federation.

The standard type of apartment map is approved at the legislative level and requires the completion of all columns.

This document must be drawn up at the time of registration of persons in apartments in residential buildings of any form of ownership - state, municipal or private.

In practice, apartment cards are mainly kept by management organizations of apartment buildings.

The document confirms a certain number of registered citizens in housing and may be requested in the process of carrying out various transactions with real estate.

The paper is issued only if you have a passport and a title document for the living space.

Does the apartment card have an expiration date?

The apartment card loses its relevance when some changes occur - a new tenant is registered, the previous one is deregistered, the owner of the property changes.

In practice, it happens that an apartment card is needed to conduct a transaction or submit it to some authority. Conventionally, the validity period of an apartment card is from 2 weeks to 1 month.

At the legislative level, there is no direct validity period for the card. Therefore, in fact, the information contained in it is reliable as long as there are no changes in the composition of the residents. In this case, the PC becomes invalid.

What is its purpose

An apartment card is an important document when conducting real estate transactions.

Because it is the official confirmation of how many people are actually registered in the apartment.

It can also be used to track the entire history of housing with persons registered and those who left it for the entire period, starting with the commissioning of the house and the acquisition of the apartment by the first owner.

Information from the apartment card is used in the following situations:

conducting purchase and sale transactions;
transactions regarding the transfer of property under a gift agreement;
exchange or privatization of an apartment;
registration of subsidies for utility bills;
renewal of personal information in the event of a lost passport;
requests from the military registration and enlistment office;
confirmation of the number of people in the family for submission to various authorities (for example, to banking institutions when applying for mortgage lending);
registration of the status of a large family.

A citizen is entered into an apartment card when registering a permanent place of registration or temporary registration at a temporary residence address.

The document is filled out regardless of whether the apartment belongs to an individual or a legal entity.

Also, data from the apartment map may be requested by territorial regulatory authorities - the prosecutor's office, the tax service, and educational institutions.

The document is often called a family composition certificate.

Form 10 and 17

This document is issued to the owner of real estate and contains detailed information about all citizens living in residential premises.

Without this document, you will not be able to receive benefits, subsidies, or complete any real estate transaction.

So, let's figure out where to go to get an apartment card, and what documents are required for this.

By order of the Federal Migration Service, Form No. 10 of the apartment card was approved, which is valid in all regions of the Russian Federation.

It requires mandatory completion of all columns and lines:

the exact address of the apartment building;
number of the apartment or other premises for living;
total and living area of the premises in sq.m;
Full name of the owner or current owner of the apartment;
name of the managing organization;
personal information about citizens registered and living in this housing.

Form No. 10 is filled out on a standard form measuring 210 x 148 mm. The form is available for sale in print stores, and a sample card can also be found on special government portals.

Form No. 17 is also valid, with some differences from the previous form. It was approved by Resolution of the Ministry of Internal Affairs dated May 18, 2005 N 149.

The form has dimensions of 210 x 150 mm and is filled out on both sides. The card also contains data on all registered and retired persons in chronological order by year. From the site jurist-protect.ru

An apartment card is a document of a strictly defined form that records information about citizens living in residential premises (apartment, house, etc.). Its form was approved by Order of the Federal Migration Service of Russia dated September 11, 2012 No. 288 “On approval of the administrative regulations for the provision by the Federal Migration Service of the state service for registration of citizens of the Russian Federation at the place of stay and at the place of residence on the territory of the Russian Federation.”

An apartment card is a document that contains information about each resident of a residential premises. At the same time, the card records data on citizens living in the premises at the moment, as well as those who lived previously, but have already left. In addition, it indicates the reason for leaving this housing.

Children under the age of fourteen are included in the card each time the child changes place of residence. In this case, the child must be registered at the place of residence of his legal representative (parent, guardian, trustee).

Thus, government agencies have a real opportunity to monitor the stay and registration of citizens in residential premises.

In what cases is it required?

The apartment card must record all persons who have ever lived and are registered in a particular apartment. It also contains data on when the person was registered in this premises and when he was removed from it. The reason for deregistration must be indicated.

Thus, this kind of document is needed for:

registration of permanent registration of citizens at the place of residence and temporary registration at the place of temporary stay;
registration of their deregistration at the place of residence or stay in residential premises of a private housing stock, which belong to individuals or legal entities by right of ownership.

Since the apartment card records all the information about those living and staying in a specific residential premises, this document is necessary when registering various types of real estate transactions.

So, when selling an apartment or any other residential premises, an extract from the apartment card is ordered. It is proof of how many persons are registered in the premises at the time of the transaction.

Extract from a PC: what is it and how does it differ from the original

Actually, like the original, the extract from the apartment card has a unified form, defined at the legislative level. This means that the form is not drawn up in any form.

Specific columns are predefined, the filling of which is strictly regulated. The information is kept by officials responsible for registering citizens.

An extract from the PC is issued to the owner of the residential premises or to the person living there under the terms of temporary or permanent registration.

An extract, like an apartment card, can be obtained from the management company, multifunctional center, passport office, regional office of the Federal Migration Service, or municipality.

An electronic copy of the extract can be obtained on the State Services portal. However, it is for informational purposes only and is not a document for submission to authorized bodies.

To obtain an extract from the apartment card, you must present the following documents:

passport;
original or certified copy of title documents for the property;
if the apartment is state or municipal - a social rental agreement;
statement.

However, the application must be filled out when applying for an extract through the State Services website. The document can also be received by mail. When contacting in person, a verbal request is sufficient.

An extract from the PC is provided on the day of application. When ordering a form by mail, the document is sent the next day after application.

What is an archival certificate

The archival certificate contains information about all residents registered and discharged from the apartment. The document may be needed, for example, to check whether persons currently in prison are registered in the residential premises.

Concept and purpose of an apartment card

What is an apartment card?

Why do you need an apartment card?

A card is required for:

privatization: everyone registered in the apartment, including children, has the right to their own share;
purchase and sale: you need to find out whether people currently in the army or in prison (or children in a boarding school) have been registered in this living space;
issuing a document confirming the status of a citizen of the Russian Federation to a minor;
registration of benefits for housing and communal services: the amount of the subsidy directly depends on the area of the apartment itself, the composition of the owner’s family and the amount of family income;
loss of a passport: one of the conditions for document restoration is confirmation of registration.

What is a subsidy and how to get this benefit for buying a home, you can read in this article.

Where can I get an apartment card?

Since the procedure for issuing an apartment card is determined by the FMS, the same body has determined the procedure for providing services for the preparation of such a document. There are also persons responsible for providing such services for maintaining registration of citizens and filling out apartment cards.

Such persons include:

owners of residential premises (only if citizens have chosen direct management of an apartment building);
housing cooperative management bodies;
officials who have the authority to register citizens staying in nursing homes, hotels and other places;
employees of institutions that monitor the use and safety of state and municipal housing stock;
officials of multifunctional centers providing public services.

Thus, the list is closed and exhaustive. These documents are subject to storage by those officials who are responsible for registering citizens at their place of stay or residence. As a rule, they are stored with an organization that is chosen by the owners of residential premises or directly senior in the house.

Procedure for issuing a card

The process of making entries in the apartment card does not depend on the type of property of the housing stock (state, municipal or private). Entries are made on the basis of data on the registration of a specific person at this place of residence and information on departure from the previous place of residence.

The FMS bodies transfer information between their departments, so an additional visit is not required to obtain an extract from the previous place of residence. When registering at a new address, deregistration from the old place of residence is carried out automatically. Forms to be filled out are ordered from a printing house, but it is also possible to independently produce cards of the established form.

The card is drawn up with the involvement of the owner of the property, confirming the grounds for creating a record about a specific person living in this living space. The paper can be filled out by one of the following persons:

if direct management of the house is chosen, the owner of the residential premises can fill out the form;
manager of a housing cooperative;
the person responsible for registering citizens staying in a social assistance organization, for example a nursing home;
persons who control the safety of the housing stock of the state and municipality;
MFC employee.

To register a newborn child, the mother registered at the specified address contacts the authorized organization. However, the child’s mother is not necessarily the owner of the apartment.

Alteration

New information or changes to the apartment card can only be entered by a person authorized by law to carry out such actions (for example, a management company, a property owners' association).

Changes are made based on information provided by persons who want to register in a residential premises. Also, in the case when a citizen temporarily stays in one place or another, temporary registration is issued by employees of that organization (for example, a hotel, campsites, sanatoriums, etc.).

Thus, the information contained in the apartment cards is transferred to the territorial bodies of the FMS. But the documents themselves, as a rule, remain in storage in organizations that manage apartment buildings or other organizations of this kind.

How is an apartment card different from a house register?

Many citizens believe that an apartment card and a house register are the same thing. This is not entirely true. These two documents are very similar in purpose. An extract can be ordered from both the apartment card and the house register.

But there are some differences between these two documents:

A house register is issued for a private house, kept by the owner and transferred to the new owner along with other documents after the sale of the property.
The apartment card is stored in the management company, the Homeowners Association, or the housing construction cooperative. The owner has the right to apply for a PC at any time to designated organizations.
The house register is kept not only for private houses, but also for apartment buildings. To obtain an extract from the house register, you will need to visit the management company or contact the multifunctional center.

The apartment card and the house register also have similarities:

Both documents contain information about all registered persons - temporary and permanent.
Both documents are amended upon arrival or departure, real estate transactions, after which the owner changes.
Both documents are valid until changes occur.
When purchasing, the new owner may require the presentation of one or another document to ensure the purity of the transaction.

Extract from the apartment card

In order to obtain an extract from the apartment card, you must contact the management organization that manages the building in which the apartment is located. It can also be ordered through the Unified Portal of State Services.

As a general rule, to obtain an extract, you must verbally request it from the body authorized to issue such documents. It is issued upon presentation of the following documents:

identification document (passport or other);
confirming the right to the premises, namely a certificate of state registration of the right to a social tenancy agreement, etc.

The completed extract must be issued to citizens who apply for its issuance on the same day. The basis for refusal of such a service may be the citizen’s indication of false information or failure to provide documents that are required to receive the service.

Alternative - apartment book

Since the original apartment card cannot be in hand, you can resort to one trick. You can create a so-called apartment register (similar to the house register) and register it with the Federal Migration Service. In this case, control over the registration of residents in the apartment falls on the shoulders of the owner.

The information contained in the apartment card is extremely important. Ignorance about the people registered in the apartment you are buying can bring an unexpected guest to your doorstep. And such a “guest” will have every right to stay in the apartment.
