Why is temporary registration needed and how to apply for it

How is temporary registration different from registration?

In general, now in Russian legislation there are no concepts of “registration” or “temporary registration”.
But everyone uses them because it’s clearer. Registration means registration at the place of residence. It is indefinite and lasts until the person has to be discharged due to circumstances or by a court decision. It is indicated by a stamp in the passport indicating the address of residence.

Temporary registration assumes that a person has moved for a certain period, for example, changed the region for work or went to a sanatorium. Old housing is still considered a permanent habitat. He is not discharged from there, but is registered in the new one at his place of stay. This is not reflected in the passport in any way; the person is simply given a certificate.

Temporary registration can be obtained without permanent registration, but it is usually issued in addition.

Design features

Depending on the reason for the absence of a stamp in the passport indicating permanent registration, the temporary registration procedure is carried out according to the following rules:

If a citizen has left his previous living space for some reason, a departure slip .

In the complete absence of registration as such, actions must begin with the payment of the fine provided for by the Code of Administrative Offenses, clause 19.15.1. The payment amount is from 2 to 5 thousand rubles.

The procedure for paying the fine and details can be obtained from the FMS office that serves the territory of the residential premises.

A receipt for payment of the fine is attached to the following package of documents:

application for registration;
documents for living space that provide grounds for registration (lease agreement, social rent, etc.);
statement of consent of the owner. If there are several owners of the apartment, everyone must give consent;
passports of the applicant and the owners of the apartment.

If there is a notarized lease agreement, the presence of the owner at the procedure and the provision of his passport is not required.

Temporary registration in this case is issued for the duration of the lease agreement, but not more than 5 years . After this period, the document can be extended if necessary.

Who needs temporary registration

It will have to be issued if you intend to live in another region for more than 90 Law of the Russian Federation of June 25, 1993 No. 5242‑1 days.

The owner of an apartment in which people live without temporary registration can also be punished with a similar amount. If they have not completed it within 90 days, the owner is obliged to notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs about this, according to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 17, 1995 No. 713.

Fines for violation of migration registration

An attempt to violate the rules of migration registration threatens with administrative liability, as does an untimely extension of temporary registration. If the police have revealed that a citizen is living in a residential building without continuous or temporary registration, the violator will have to pay a fine. The owner of the living space where unregistered citizens live is also subject to administrative liability.

The amount depends on the location:

From 3000 to 5000 rub. from the tenant: Moscow and St. Petersburg;
From 2000 to 3000 rub. from the tenant: other regions of the Russian Federation;
From 5000 to 7000 rub. from the owner: Moscow and St. Petersburg;
From 3000 to 5000 rub. from the owner: other regions of the Russian Federation;
From 300 to 800 thousand rubles, if the owner of the apartment is a legal entity: Moscow and St. Petersburg;
From 50 to 750 thousand rubles, if the owner of the property is a legal entity: other regions of the Russian Federation.

When registering a fictitious registration (if the tenant officially lives in one place but is registered at a different address), the owner of the living space will have to pay a fine of 5,000 rubles.

Persons who live in a foreign city without temporary registration face a number of problems. They have to go to their hometown to complete any paperwork. In addition, failure to comply with the temporary registration requirement will result in the payment of monetary fines. Therefore, a Russian must obtain a certificate if he plans to live in a new place for more than three months.
