Depending on the living space in which the citizen is registered, additional documents may be required:

If, in addition to the owner himself, there are also adult citizens living in the apartment, then the consent of each of them is required to carry out the registration procedure.
In the case of a social tenancy agreement for living space, temporary registration is valid for six months. To live in such apartments, written consent is obtained either from the housing cooperative or from an authorized representative of the owner of the housing.

official title documents for housing;
passports of the owner and the registered person.

Through the State Services portal

The official website of the State Services is one of the most popular and fastest ways to obtain many official documents, including registration. If a citizen is already registered on it and has used its services, then submitting a request for temporary registration will not be difficult.

On the portal you will need to fill in all the required fields, where you enter the passport details of the registered person and the owner of the property, as well as details of documents for the living space.

Interesting article: What risks does temporary registration pose to the owner?

Newborns

Without registering a newborn child, parents will not receive a health insurance policy. In the future, it will not be possible to enroll your child in kindergarten.

Older

Children, like adults, can live in the Russian Federation without a permanent place of residence. It is enough to issue a VR, which makes it possible to enjoy all available social rights.

You can get VR for your child at the nearest FMS office. To do this, you need to provide the following documents:

birth certificate;
if the child is over 14 years old - a passport;
a foreign passport when the child is a citizen of another state.

The parents or official guardian are responsible for completing all registration documents. The procedure for obtaining VR for children is the same as for adults. Additionally, you do not need to obtain consent from the apartment owner.

No permanent registration, only temporary

Temporary registration is a separate official document that indicates the address where the citizen should reside. The difference from permanent registration is the absence of a stamp in the passport.

When is temporary registration needed?

Temporary registration is required in the following cases:

when changing place of residence;
when selling your own home, if you did not have time to choose a new living space;
for newborns;
for foreign citizens.

After moving to a new place, people need work, medical services, registration of children in kindergarten/school, and use of benefits.

To do all this, you need to officially notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs about your movement, that is, make a temporary registration. Failure to do so will result in a fine of 2,000-3,000 rubles.

There are also options when you don’t have to register at your place of residence if:

you have a residence permit, but you live in a different place, but in the same region (for example, registration in the city of Balashikha, but you live in the city of Noginsk - these two cities are located in the Moscow region);
if you live with your relatives (parents, spouse, brothers, sisters) who have a residence permit in this apartment.

Without temporary registration, any citizen of the Russian Federation has the right to reside for no more than 90 days; then he is obliged to notify the FMS about a change of place of residence. The length of stay is confirmed by travel documents. Not only a citizen without registration, but also the owner of the home where the person is staying can also be fined.

Note! A different procedure is provided for foreign citizens. Temporary registration is mandatory for them; the main thing is to do it after 7 days from the date of entry into the territory of the Russian Federation. Citizens of countries such as Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan have advantages. They can register for migration within 30 days, citizens of Tajikistan 15 days.

When can temporary registration be denied?

Registration may be denied if:

the owner who is supposed to register you will change his mind.
the contents of the agreement between the parties violate the requirements of the Legislation;
the applicant does not live at this address and cannot provide evidence;
a person who may be dangerous to society (infectious diseases, mental disorder).

If registration is refused, it is impossible to appeal.

How long can you live if there is no permanent registration, only temporary?

If you have temporary registration, you can live as long as you like. The main thing is to monitor the stated validity period and, in agreement with the owner, renew it at the time.

It’s a little more complicated with foreign citizens. To renew your registration you must have a reason. One of these grounds may be a TRP (Temporary Residence Permit).

Note! A residence permit (residence permit) or a work patent, which allows a foreigner to legally stay on the territory of the Russian Federation and opens up new opportunities in employment and the provision of free medical services.

What to do if temporary registration has ended, but there is no permanent registration?

Extension of temporary registration is possible an unlimited number of times, but only by agreement of the parties.

Its duration also needs to be discussed in advance with the property owner. It should be noted that the period of temporary registration cannot exceed five years.

Temporary registration without permanent registration for foreigners

Foreign citizens outside the territory of the Russian Federation can stay for only 7 days without registration. For residents of visa-free countries, this period is 90 days.

To obtain a temporary residence permit, foreigners collect the following documents:

a written statement made by the receiving party (for example, the owner of the property, employer, relatives, etc.);
arrival form (completed);
migration card;
citizen's passport.

All documents can be brought in person to the nearest branch of the Federal Migration Service, sent by mail or forwarded through the State Services portal. If the decision is positive, the temporary residence permit is issued for 12 months.

How to cancel temporary registration?

Upon expiration of the validity period of the VR, it is automatically canceled. This period is indicated on the registration card. If a citizen wants to cancel its action ahead of time, they contact the FMS department where the document was issued.

First, an application is written, after which the registration is canceled. This happens immediately on the day the application is submitted.

VR is an equal substitute for permanent registration, especially if it is not possible to acquire your own housing. It gives the same rights as citizens with permanent registration. Delay or lack of temporary registration leads to unpleasant consequences - fines.
