Find out on our website how temporary registration differs from permanent registration, whether it is possible to register temporarily without permanent registration, and what the consequences are for late registration at your place of stay.
The essence of the process
What is temporary registration in an apartment? Registration at the place of residence is the procedure for registering at the address where a person lives for a certain period.
If you come to work or study in another locality and stay there for more than three months , you must inform the FMS authorities about this.
Failure to register temporarily is considered an administrative violation and is subject to a fine .
Moreover, penalties threaten not only a person who does not live at his place of permanent registration for more than 90 days, but also the owner of the premises in which he lives.
Temporary registration is valid simultaneously with permanent registration . In this case, the stamp in the passport remains with the permanent residence address, and an additional certificate insert is issued with the residential address written on it.
Such registration in an apartment is issued for a certain period - from 6 months to 5 years and is canceled automatically after this period.
It gives a person the right to live at a given address for the period specified in the insert.
You can register in any premises intended for residence :
- apartment (own, municipal, service);
- private house;
- hostel;
- hotel;
- boarding house, shelter;
- sanatoriums, hospitals.
If the period of residence in a given territory is less than three months, it is not necessary to register your presence in it. To protect yourself from law enforcement agencies, you can present a travel document, sanatorium card, etc.

Conditions of the will
A citizen who draws up a will has the right to make it a condition of inheritance of an apartment that a third party will live in it: both for a certain period of time and for life. The third person can be a relative or a complete stranger whom the heir has never seen before.
Although most often we are talking about granting the right of residence to a loved one. Testators are trying to protect relatives from disagreements, protect the rights of one of them, or provide a roof over the head of the “unlucky” person, whom they are afraid to give the opportunity to personally dispose of property or part of it.
Why is it needed?

Procedure
Is it possible to register a person temporarily? You can register an apartment only with the consent of its owner . At his own request, he can register any person in the living space: both a relative and a complete stranger.
This may also be a citizen renting an apartment under a rental agreement. The number of persons registered in their own real estate is not limited. How to temporarily register a person in a privatized apartment?
To register, you only need the consent of the owner or all owners if the apartment is divided into shares . The consent of other persons registered in the living space is not required.
The owner may not be present when submitting documents, having issued a notarized consent or power of attorney to any person.
Possibility of registration
It is the property owner who is allowed to decide who can be registered on his territory. But in the case when the housing belongs to him on the basis of shared ownership, he will definitely need to coordinate his decisions with the other participants.
There are two options for solving this problem. But before embarking on such a procedure, it is necessary to carefully consider the need for such registration. Because each of the methods is quite complicated.
The options may be the following:
Separate a share in the home at the expense of your own part
In this case, the person will receive not only the required registration, but also the rights to the apartment. And if you want to write him out, it will no longer be possible. After all, having become the owner of a share of property, a person without any problems receives registration in a specific territory. The consent of the second co-owner will no longer be required.
Personal share can be separated in kind
This solution to the problem, as a rule, can take place in a private home. Because to determine a share in kind, it is necessary that the separated part have a separate entrance and be able to designate a separate part of the property. In this case, the owner will be able to independently decide who to register with him.
In municipal housing, the situation is different. Permission from the co-owners of the building is not required here. It is possible to register without it in such a territory; for this you will need to prove the fact of a close relationship. Then you can register your children or husband. There will be no problems here.
Temporary registration of owner
Situations often arise that require temporary registration in your own apartment if you have permanent registration at another address.
You can also temporarily register in an apartment when it is sold .
In this case, the person is checked out of the apartment to complete the transaction and at the same time receives a certificate of temporary registration.
You can register temporarily in your own apartment at any time and for any period. To do this, you need to write an application and provide a Certificate of Ownership.
Why do you need temporary registration?

The period increases to a week or more when clarifying the information received, selecting postal items, or carrying out the procedure through State Services. Additional losses will have to be taken into account if such operations are entrusted to trusted persons. In these cases, you will need a power of attorney certified by a notary.

Risks and consequences
What are the consequences of temporary registration for the owner of an apartment? After its registration, the following unpleasant moments may arise for the owner of the living space:
- Increase in payment amounts for housing and communal services. If payment is made not according to meters, but according to the number of residents, you will need to pay for everyone registered (more details in our article).
- Problems with tax authorities.
- Registration in the apartment of minor citizens. If a child is born to a temporarily registered person, he will be registered at the same address, and without the consent of the owner. It will be possible to discharge a child only by court, and even then only if the parents have their own housing.
- Financial difficulties. All fines, summonses, and notices from credit institutions will be sent to the temporary registration address.
How can an owner avoid problems? In any case, the law will always be on the side of the owner, and temporary registration can be canceled at any time . Therefore, rumors about the dangers of this procedure are somewhat exaggerated.

To protect yourself from the registration of minor citizens in your apartment, before registration, check for a permanent registration stamp. If it is not there, it is better not to register such a tenant in your apartment.
Peculiarities
Temporary registration of close relatives without the consent of the tenant and other residents in a non-privatized apartment is allowed.
Child registration
The registration of a minor child is permissible even if the current minimum standard for living space is violated. In the regions of Russia this parameter is 8-10 sq. m. per person. Of course, at least one of the parents must have temporary registration at the same address.
Registration of wife to husband
Spouses, as well as other close relatives, also enjoy certain benefits when temporarily registering in a non-privatized apartment. As in the previous example, the municipality does not take into account the limiting factor of small area. The consent of other residents is not required.
If you need to register a foreign citizen
Registration is mandatory if such a person stays on the territory of the Russian Federation for 7 or more days. Additionally, they provide a residence permit or other official residence permits. Fictitious actions of tenants (homeowners) are punished more severely than usual fines. Current regulations provide for criminal liability up to three years' imprisonment.
If there is no consent of the owner and registered
Above we talk about exactly whose consent is needed for temporary registration in a non-privatized apartment. If an agreement cannot be reached “amicably” or for a fee, the only option is to evict the tenant. Legal grounds:
- long absence;
- large debt on utility bills;
- antisocial behavior;
- use of a property other than for its intended purpose (for commercial, industrial or other activities).
Termination
Temporary registration ends after the expiration of the period for which it was issued. There is no need to perform any additional actions. Simply put, the insert becomes invalid as soon as the date indicated in it as the registration period has passed.
In addition, the owner can contact the Federal Migration Service with a request to terminate the registration earlier than the specified period .
Since a temporarily registered person does not have any rights to housing, only the owner decides whether he will be registered or not.
You can lose your registration the very next day after registration if the owner of the property suddenly changes his mind. In this case, no evidence or justification is required from him .
If a person registered in a certain territory no longer needs this registration, he can write an application to the FMS office with a request to cancel it ahead of schedule.
But you don’t have to do this; you can simply move out of this address and not use the insert anymore .
Re-registration at the initiative of the owner
Is it possible for the owner to re-register someone registered temporarily? As already noted, the owner of the apartment can revoke the temporary registration of a citizen at any time . Can I register a face myself?
You can register at any address only by personal application. The owner cannot independently register another person, even by personal application.
The action can only be performed on the basis of a notarized power of attorney.
