To secure their right to own property, a citizen must register in the Rosreestr system. It contains all the information on real estate: characteristics of objects, information about owners, date of acquisition of property, etc. The main document confirming the existence of registration is the cadastral passport for the apartment. How to get it in 2020 and why you personally need it is worth understanding in more detail.
This is an official document - an extract from a unified database containing accounting and technical data relating to real estate in the country. In other words, a passport is an extract from the State Real Estate Cadastre.

Externally, the document consists of two interconnected parts - text with a description and graphic:
· Address of the object;
· purpose (whether it is residential or non-residential, about the transfer of premises to non-residential stock separately);
· type of premises (house, apartment or room);
· total + living space;
· number of storeys (where located) the total number of storeys of the building;
· cadastral number (individual number assigned to each real estate unit);

Expert opinion
Nina Matveeva, real estate consultant
Changes to the contents of the passport can only be made by competent persons if there is a good reason. For example, redevelopment was carried out, the premises were transferred and changed their status, the site changed its purpose, and so on. And this is documented.
Registration process:
1. Send an application to one of the above bodies. Some have official websites, then you just need to fill out the form online, providing real information. The law provides 14 days for employees to consider applications. The applicant will need to show his passport and also pay a state fee. If the control panel is needed after redevelopment, then he will be asked to call a surveyor from the BTI. He will study the new furnishings of the premises and draw up a report. According to it, the content of the CP will be changed. If the owner has lost the old passport, the registration authorities should be notified about this.
2. required to obtain - the list is individual and depends on the institution where the citizen applies. Usually a passport is enough. If the owner has carried out redevelopment, he needs a SES, permission from the BTI, and a court order. When the apartment is new and the developer has just put his property into operation, title papers + commissioning acts, transfer deed/sale agreement will be required. Some of the papers are provided separately by the developer. Sometimes, after redevelopment, the owner is asked for a technical passport.
3. Before accepting the application, an employee of the institution will ask whether the visitor has collected all the papers. And why does he need a command post? It is important to complete the application correctly. A ready-made example will help; you can view it online or locally. After handing in the papers, you need to get a receipt from the employee confirming that everything has been accepted. The date of the second visit will be indicated there when you can pick up a new CP.
It is necessary to show the original receipt of paid state duty ( 200 rubles ). You can pay at any bank office or use a cashless transfer.

How to order a technical passport for an apartment through government services
A cadastral passport is a mandatory document for performing transactions regarding a real estate property. It is otherwise called an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate (USRN).
The document contains all the information about the property:
- Room layout.
- Date of construction of the house.
- Materials used for the construction of the facility.
- Apartment floor.
- Square.
- The actual address of the object.
Its necessity is as follows:
- transactions related to real estate;
- moving to a new building that has not yet been in operation;
- eviction of a tenant through court;
- change of layout.
An apartment passport is issued for one year, after which the data in it becomes outdated. Any citizen has the right to order a passport for an apartment. You don't have to be an owner to do this.
To understand why a document reflecting State Cadastre information is needed, you need to list government procedures that cannot be carried out without providing this document:
- Registration of ownership rights to a new building.
- Registration of transfer of ownership in Rosreestr (for secondary housing).
- Concluding a loan agreement for the purchase of real estate.
- Checking the legal purity of the apartment during negotiations with buyers.
- Legalization of redevelopment or refurbishment of living space.
- Litigation regarding residential premises (eviction, challenging inheritance, etc.).
The cadastral passport for an apartment in a new building or a house belonging to the secondary real estate market consists of two A4 sheets:
- the first one contains basic information on the residential property;
- the second contains graphic information.
Let's take a closer look at the data contained in the extract:
- individual number of the property assigned upon registration;
- location of housing (address);
- year of construction;
- number of storeys;
- purpose and type of real estate;
- apartment area;
- the cost of the apartment (calculated based on the size of the living space, taking into account market prices for real estate);
- number of balconies (if available);
- date of the last inspection of the living space.
On the second sheet of the statement there is a graphic image of the apartment. The figure shows the shape of the housing, all premises (living and auxiliary), and also indicates the area of each room.
Sample of two pages of a cadastral passport:
Information about real estate registration is publicly available. This is done in case it is necessary to verify the ownership of an object to a certain person. Therefore, anyone can request a passport, not just the property owner.
If you need to make any changes to Rosreestr information or put something on the cadastral register, then only the owner of the property or a person who has a notarized power of attorney has the right to carry out these actions.
There are several ways to get it. You can order a cadastral passport through the MFC, through State Services or on the Rosreestr website. Following any of these paths will result in the same document. Therefore, choose what is more convenient for you.
There are two ways to obtain a cadastral passport through the MFC:
- Call the hotline number to request an appointment. Over the phone, you can ask all your questions, and the consultant will tell you about the required package of documents and set a date for the meeting.
- Come to the MFC in person. You need to get an electronic ticket and go to an open window when your number appears on the screen. The MFC employee you contacted will tell you what documents are needed to receive the service, and you will be able to personally ask all your questions. You will be given a form where you need to accurately write down all your data so that there are no reasons for refusing to issue a passport. After this, wait for a response to your application. You must come for an extract with an identification document.
The procedure for obtaining an extract from the State Cadastre is similar to the preparation of other important papers:
- contacting the necessary authority;
- payment of state duty;
- provision of a package of necessary documents from the owner;
- waiting for readiness;
- receiving the document in hand.
Let's take a closer look at the process of obtaining an extract from the State Cadastre and the government agencies that perform this function.
Contacting the local branch of Rosreestr is the option that first comes to mind if you need to obtain information on real estate and an extract. A visit to these government agencies allows you to obtain the necessary information from the State Cadastre as conveniently and comfortably as possible. The advantages of contacting Rosreestr are:
- speed of consideration of the request and generation of the required document;
- lack of queues (explained by the core activities of government institutions);
- the opportunity to fill out the missing documents on the spot to obtain a cadastral passport for the apartment (read on what documents are needed).
The only drawback is the need to apply only on weekdays and at a certain time (Monday-Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.). This schedule is not always convenient for the working population.
In order for you to receive official papers for living space, you need to correctly collect a package of documents . Let's take a look at it.
The first thing you need to provide to Rosreestr is your passport to confirm your identity. Also, do not forget about the papers confirming your ownership rights, as well as the rights of other owners, if any.
Another important paper is the technical documentation for the apartment and a certificate from the BTI. Don't forget about the receipt and payment for the service.
Documents are submitted to Rosreestr upon consideration of your application and appointment date. The system is also currently testing the possibility of submitting in scanned form via the website . You can take advantage of this opportunity if your papers are in electronic format.
Read our articles about what a cadastral plan of an apartment is, as well as how to obtain a cadastral passport for an apartment in a new building.
Until 2020, land users were required to have two documents: a cadastral passport and a certificate of title (the so-called “green card”). The first contained technical information on the object, and the second confirmed ownership.
Federal Law 218 changed the list of title documents. Now, by and large, it is enough to pick up an extract from Rosreestr for the land plot in order to have proof of ownership in hand. But the cadastral passport did not cease to exist as a legal unit. In some cases you cannot do without it.
The document is issued only for a registered object registered in the cadastre. The paper can be received by the owner, tenant or the person for whom a notarized power of attorney with permission to receive it has been issued.
To register a land plot in the cadastre, you need to have a boundary plan in hand
. It is compiled by authorized licensed geodetic organizations. Surveying includes several stages:
- informing owners of neighboring plots about the upcoming land survey;
- geodetic work on the ground: setting turning points, determining boundaries on the ground, taking measurements and drawing up a site plan;
- desk stage with registration of the received data on paper: technical information and graphic plan of the site;
- obtaining a ready-made boundary (technical) plan.
- identification card of the applicant (owner, tenant, authorized person) - passport;
- for the authorized person - a notarized power of attorney;
- certificate of ownership or lease agreement;
- basis for obtaining the right;
- boundary (technical) plan agreed with the owners (tenants) of neighboring plots;
- application and check for payment of state duty.
If there are minors among the owners, permission from the guardianship authorities will also be required.
Rosreestr is an institution whose database contains information about all sites. Therefore, one way or another, any request necessarily reaches this organization.
Personal visit
You can contact the territorial department of Rosreestr in person, having a complete package of documents in hand. An application for a cadastral passport can be written directly on the day of application.
When applying in person, a Rosreestr employee checks the number of documents provided on site. He will accept the application only if all the necessary papers are available.
Sending letter
It is possible to apply in absentia to Rosreestr by mail. In this case, the time frame for issuing a cadastral passport increases, as do the chances of refusal (for example, if it turns out that the submitted documents do not comply with the rules). All copies in this case must be certified by a notary.
What is the price
Getting a new document from the Cadastral Chamber itself will cost 200 rubles. This is the state duty. Everyone pays it, no matter what the CP is needed for. The cost of the procedure will increase if there are additional nuances .
For example, paper is required due to registration of redevelopment. Then you need to call a surveyor, this is a paid procedure, and wait for his report. When receiving a new plot of land, land surveying is required, which is also paid.
Receipt options:
1. Initial registration of an object in the State Property Committee system. The total costs then are 3,000 - 10,000 rubles . This is the work of a BTI specialist + several state fees for each stage completed.
2. Simple extract from the Unified State Register. Individuals – 200 rubles , legal entities – 600 rubles.
3. Electronic document 150 rubles - ordinary citizens, 300 rubles - organizations.
The amount of expenses depends on the intended purpose of the CP. The legislation does not have a clear validity period for the document. This is influenced by the owner's manipulations. If he simply uses the premises for many years without making any changes or conducting transactions, then the KP/USRN extract can be stored for years. After all, the data in Rosreestr will remain unchanged.

A cadastral passport is required for any kind of land transaction. The procedure for obtaining a passport is clearly regulated by current legislation, and recently it has been significantly simplified. Let's look at the main ways to obtain a document (depending on the method of submitting the request):
How to recover if lost
It is not uncommon for people to spoil or lose important documents. This is life and there is no need to be upset. It is better to restore what was lost in a timely manner.
When required:
- loss/stolen papers;
- damage (wet, children painted or torn);
- the ink has faded;
- the paper is worn out from age;
- softening the paper.
If you can see how a document is becoming outdated, it is better to replace it in a timely manner, while the information is still suitable for study, or convert it into an electronic version.
When there is no extract (lost, stolen, hopelessly damaged), the restoration of the registration document will take place after measurements of the real estate by BTI specialists. It's expensive and time-consuming . Therefore, it is worth keeping documents away from children, animals and third parties.
Only the legal owner has the right to apply for the restoration of the old USRN extract. His data is available in the system. Shared owners can draw up documents for themselves separately if the other shareholders agree.
The recovery procedure is standard. It is necessary to visit the authorized body and leave an application there, indicating the reason for the re-registration. If possible, show the old CP/extract. If the data can still be parsed, the documents will be reissued. If not, you will have to call a surveyor.
How to obtain a cadastral passport in a new building
When citizens purchase real estate in newly constructed buildings, the registration of apartments is handled by the developer company. After all, they require papers that only he can present. However, if such a service was not provided for by the provisions of the DDU, then the shareholder will do this.
The procedure is simple, the main thing is that the developer has already registered the building in which the apartments are located. In practice, companies often face various complications due to this. And shareholders have to wait a long time. True, the owners are allowed into the apartments and allowed to live there, but “with bird rights.”

However, if the new owner plans to sell the property, he has the right to independently register the living space, bypassing the developer. It is enough to draw up a technical plan for it by ordering it from the BTI or private companies that provide such cadastral services. Then submit a new technical plan with the remaining papers to the MFC.
It is easy to check whether the developer registered the house or not. Having opened the Rosreestr website, enter the address of the house in the search engine. If an individual number comes out, then the procedure has been completed.

4. Transfer the request to the employee, wait until he checks all the documents and writes a receipt.
Appear again at the previously appointed time and pick up a new statement (more details here). This is what the receiving procedure looks like, unless any nuances arise. For example, they will ask you to deliver papers.
