Temporary registration is a mandatory condition for citizens to live in a city where they do not have their own housing. Essentially, it is a way for the state to control the movement of citizens.
According to current legislation, a person may not complete the relevant documents during 90 days of stay in another city. After the specified period, staying without registration is punishable by a fine.
How to make a temporary registration, what documents are needed, validity periods and cost of services. Here are perhaps the most common questions related to this topic. Let's try to give as detailed an answer as possible.
general information
So, how long is temporary registration valid for? “Registration Rules...” approved by Government Decree No. 713 require registration of temporary registration for a period of 1 month to 5 years .
What is the minimum period of temporary registration for citizens of the Russian Federation? Some passport office employees adhere to the rule of registering at the place of stay for a period of at least 3 months. Such a demand is not legal.
If a citizen still needs a registration period of less than 3 months , you can require FMS employees to issue just such a registration.
Often such registration is necessary when staying in a hotel, sanatorium and other similar places. Special employees who can be contacted to carry out the procedure are most often responsible for registering with them.
A citizen is registered for a certain period (for a month, a year, three or 5 years) in accordance with a personal application and consent of the owner of the premises .
If registration is carried out in a hotel, boarding house, medical institution and other similar premises, the period is limited to the period of validity of the voucher, sanatorium card or other document on the basis of which check-in was made.
If the temporary registration is based on a notarized lease agreement or gratuitous use of residential premises, the period coincides with the validity period of this document. In this case, the period can be extended only with the personal consent of the owner, subject to his presence during the procedure.
What is the validity period of a temporary registration, that is, the maximum period of temporary registration at the place of stay? Many owners and citizens, wanting to save themselves from additional hassle, try to immediately apply for temporary registration for a longer period .
But the internal regulations of the FMS prohibit registration for a period exceeding 5 years . Previously, this period was limited to three years. The 3-year limit currently applies to foreigners.
Deregistration is carried out automatically upon the departure of citizens or upon expiration of the Certificate of Registration. In this case, no action is required on the part of the registered person.
If necessary, upon early departure of the registered person from the place of temporary stay, you can submit a simple written application about the expiration of the registration period and deregistration.
An application for termination of the period can be submitted in person, sent by mail or posted on the State Services website. FMS employees will enter the necessary information into the internal documents of the organization, and the document will be canceled .
The owner of the premises can also terminate the temporary registration before the end of the period . He can do this at any time, regardless of the wishes of the person registered in his living space.

How long does it take to register at your place of stay and why?
The law establishes the obligation of a citizen to register at his place of residence if he leaves his main place of residence.
This norm is regulated by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 17, 1995 No. 713. It states that a person is required to register if he has moved into a residential premises for a period of more than 90 days. Read about liability for absence or violation of temporary registration here.
This period is calculated from the moment the person arrives at the home. A citizen can leave for his place of residence every 89 days and then return again , and he does not have the obligation to register. It is also almost impossible to control the fact that the guest went to his home. This is used by those persons who do not have the opportunity to obtain temporary registration.
The law does not contain an obligation to keep tickets used to travel home. In addition, a citizen can go to his home on foot or by car. In fact, registration on a temporary basis is necessary for the transfer of information to the state, statistical data, etc.
In some cases, such registration is useful specifically for residents, since it gives: the right to medical care, registration of children in kindergarten, school, the opportunity to get a job, get a loan, etc.
Reference! If a person goes to a rest home, boarding house, hotel, health care facility, etc., then the responsibility to register him rests with the administration of the institution.

This term refers to a place of residence, which may be someone’s property, which you occupy under a rental agreement, and so on, but that housing that is not your permanent place of residence.
You have another permanent registration, which you do not intend to give up yet, which means that the temporary one has its own specific validity period.

Procedure
It is also possible to extend temporary registration; this is not only not prohibited by law, but is also encouraged if the period of stay has expired, but you do not intend to leave yet.
In order to extend the validity, you need to come to the department again. There you should explain what served as the basis for the extension and fill out an application.
Next, you must provide your passport and a stamped certificate issued earlier.
An important nuance is the fact that even before the fact of coming to the office, you need to come to a meeting with the owner.
You need to tell him the reasons why you want to stay for a while longer and ask permission for this action.
If the owner does not mind, he must again leave a written permission with his signature.
In some cases, some branches of the GUVM require the personal appearance of the owner along with the person wishing to obtain registration.
This is necessary in order to exclude the possibility of forging the owner’s signature.
In what situations does a passport become unusable?
A damaged passport must be replaced.
There are a number of reasons that affect the expiration date of a Russian passport. All of them are given in two documents dedicated to the passport: in the Regulations approved by Government Decree No. 828, and in the Regulations approved by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 851.
At what age do you change your Russian passport?
Russians receive their first passports at a young age - at 14 years old . The document will be valid for the next six years. Once a person turns 20 years old , the passport will expire and will need to be replaced.
Having received a new document at the age of 20, a Russian will be able to use it for the next 25 years - until his 45th birthday . Upon reaching this age, the validity period of the Russian passport will expire again and a new document will need to be issued.
A passport received at the age of 45 becomes unlimited .
Replacing a passport after theft or loss
In this case, you should report it missing to the police. Contact the authorities immediately.
If a fraudster uses your passport, then you can prove that you are not involved in the fraud.
Changing your name and other data
If a citizen changes his full name, the passport ceases to be valid. In most cases, the change occurs due to marriage or divorce, but Russians have the right to take a different name simply if they wish.
Also, the validity of the passport expires if the data on the date and place of birth changes.
Expiration due to errors
It happens that a passport is issued with errors in the spelling of full name, dates and other data. Some people use such a document for years before noticing a flaw. Since a document with errors is considered invalid, such a passport must be changed.
Extraneous inscriptions
Extraneous inscriptions make the document invalid.
The answer here is clear. As soon as an inscription not provided for by regulations appears in the passport, its validity will end.
Therefore, you should not use a valid document as a notebook or give it to children.
There are other situations that lead to the expiration of the document. For example, if a person has changed his gender or changed his appearance beyond recognition , then he will need a new passport.
How long does it take to replace?
If the document has expired (regardless of the reason), then you should not hesitate to obtain a new passport.
Under current legislation, living in the Russian Federation without a valid identity document is an administrative offense. Such actions are punishable by a fine of 2 to 5 thousand rubles .
Excerpt from Article 19.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation
You must apply for a new passport within 30 days after you need to replace it.

Registration procedure
Reception of documents for registration is carried out by: the local internal affairs agency, housing and communal services, the passport office, the MFC and remotely the State Services. Sequence of actions when submitting documents through the MFC:
- Contact the MFC branch.
- Prepare documents: application, personal passport, contract for living space, consent to the procedure of all co-owners of the property.
- If you have minor children, you must present a birth certificate.
- An MFC employee must check the conformity of the submitted copies of documents with the originals.
- After verification, the applicant is given a receipt indicating all accepted documents.
An alternative option is to submit an application through State Services. The website provides information on how to obtain this service. But this option is not used very often.
On criminal liability
As mentioned above, a person is given a certain period of time to register, after which the person will be prosecuted. Moreover, both an unregistered person and the owner of the home can be fined. You will have to pay from 1500 to 2500 rubles. However, in some cities, for example, in Moscow, they may require an amount twice as much as announced. Therefore, you need to be prepared for the fact that you will have to pay about 5,000 rubles. After paying off the fine, you will be able to register.
It should be understood that it will be difficult for both a foreigner and a Russian to get along without registration. It gives you the right to apply for social benefits and benefits, to get a job legally, to put your children on the waiting list for admission to kindergarten and school, to obtain various documents (passport, Taxpayer Identification Number and others). If there is no registration, then many government services will simply be unavailable. Therefore, you should not postpone this procedure and wait until you have to pay a fine.
What is meant by the concept of temporary registration
Why is temporary registration needed?
Temporary registration is the registration of a person at a specific address that is not his main place of residence.
People often wonder whether temporary registration is necessary. When people are in a city other than their home for more than ninety days, it is required by law.
Temporary registration is nothing more than the registration of a person at a place of temporary residence for a certain period.
This type of registration is permissible only with the permission of:
- the tenant of the property and all people living with him;
- apartment owner;
- legal entity that is the owner of the premises;
- when the landlord is not the owner, the consent of the cooperative board members is required.
But when children under eighteen years of age are registered, the consent of the above persons is not required.
When the registration period expires, registered people are automatically deregistered. Therefore, there is no need to go and write an additional application for this.
But, if a person leaves before the established deadline, he will have to be removed from the register himself.
Risks and pitfalls
If the issue with the period of temporary registration is resolved, the property owner should think about the consequences. An apartment owner who provides a temporary residence permit to a child or adult may face the following consequences:
- the property can be subleased;
- the rent will increase;
- residents may refuse to voluntarily leave the premises;
- visitors can draw up a number of documents without the consent of the owner;
- not all residents agree to pay utility bills;
- real estate may be damaged;
- Housing is not always used for its intended purpose.
They can rent it to you to obtain temporary registration. But if you register a person in an apartment, what consequences may not always be clear. For this reason, experts advise being more careful about allowing strangers into your territory. Controversial issues that arise during interaction with residents can be resolved by going to court. The government agency will carefully study the current situation and help find a way out of it. Experts do not advise taking measures against unscrupulous tenants on your own.

Resolution of controversial situations
All controversial situations arising as a result of the arrival of a visitor are resolved strictly in court. Most appeals to government agencies occur due to the following problems:
- temporarily registered residents do not want to leave their living space;
- the visitor does not want to pay utilities;
- the tenant registered independently without obtaining permission from the property owner;
- visitors violated the rules of residence;
- Controversial issues arose regarding registration.
It should be remembered that full ownership of real estate belongs to its owner. For this reason, the court in most situations takes the side of the apartment owner. The visitor will have to comply with the requirements.
