A single housing document is a document that is used in the real estate sector. It combines at least 12 different papers, significantly reducing the time in the process of collecting the entire package from various authorities. It is created according to the form approved in Moscow, but the style of writing in different regions of the country differs slightly.
Why do you need to obtain a unified housing document?
It is not necessary to receive an EZhD; you can use several different certificates instead. But it is more convenient to issue it, in addition, the EZhD can be used in different cases - it alone replaces a certificate of absence of debt for payment of housing and communal services, a certificate of family composition, a copy of the financial and personal account, an extract from the house register and a number of other documents.
A single housing document can be used in many cases, for example:
When making any transactions with real estate - when buying, selling, donating, exchanging, concluding a lease agreement. In this case, the certificate reflects information about all people living in the apartment, as well as its main technical characteristics.
To receive municipal, state benefits and subsidies - for example, to receive subsidies for utility bills, to be placed on a waiting list to improve living conditions.
To obtain a loan secured by real estate. In this case, the EZhD replaces a certificate of family composition and also characterizes residential real estate.
When registering an inheritance. EZhD helps to prove that the applicant was a relative of the deceased and lived with him in the same territory.
In any cases where documentary proof of registration is required. For example, when receiving or replacing a passport, enrolling a child in school or kindergarten, when moving out of emergency housing.
For solving utility and household problems. For example, EZhD can be used to connect a landline telephone and re-register a personal account.
The document can be used in any cases where you are required to provide documentary evidence of the information contained in it.
Important! Employees of government bodies do not have the right to demand additional certificates that duplicate the information reflected in the Unified Railway. That is, if you are also required to take a certificate of family composition, this is illegal - the necessary information is contained in a single universal certificate. You have every right to refuse to provide additional paperwork.
Where can I get a certificate?
If you need an EZhD, the question arises of where to get it.
There are several authorities that deal with the preparation and issuance of such a document. You can get a certificate in the following places:
- Multifunctional center (MFC);
- Unified Information and Settlement Center (UIRC);
- State Services portal.
The owner or tenant of real estate, as well as the legal representative, has the right to receive the EZD directly. Before going to the chosen institution, you need to prepare a number of documents. Their list may vary.
In mandatory cases, you will need to provide a passport or other document that proves your identity. You will also need to write an application for the issuance of an EZhD. Additionally, the government agency may require other documents. If the EZhD is issued not by the owner of the property, but by his representative, then you will need to draw up a power of attorney and have it certified by a notary.
You may also need a death certificate, a certificate of guardianship and trusteeship authorities, a birth certificate of a child under 14 years old, etc. You must come to an appointment with a government agency specialist with the originals of these documents. If necessary, copies of papers will be made on site.
There are situations when the issuance of an EZhD to a citizen is denied; such a decision by specialists of a government organization may be due to the following:
- a person who is not the applicant and does not have a notarized power of attorney came to receive the document;
- a passport was not presented;
- the application was made incorrectly.
A single housing document is usually taken when you need to provide several certificates about an apartment, which the EZhD replaces.

Any person registered in this apartment can receive an EZhD (). It is authorized to be executed by the official representative of the owner or registered tenant, who has the appropriate notarized power of attorney. Persons who live in a given premises under a social tenancy agreement have the right to receive a single certificate.
Important! Reception of an EZhD may be refused upon presentation of false or expired documents, as well as in situations where residence at the requested property is illegal and is not supported by documents.
Algorithm for obtaining EZhD at the MFC
Nowadays, it has become an increasingly common practice among citizens of the country to contact the MFC offices, which are located in every city, municipal district, and large settlement, regarding the preparation of various vital documents.
The algorithm or procedure for obtaining EZhD at the MFC is as follows:
- The office of the MFC that serves the given territory of the municipality, its address, and contact details are specified. You can even make an appointment in advance. All this can be done easily - through the website of the municipality itself, or through the MFC portal, as well as in the usual way - through the information center of the city or settlement.
- After the appropriate MFC has been selected, preparations are made - you will need a passport, various preferential certificates (pension, veteran, for the disabled, etc.), documents for an apartment, house, pension insurance certificates and TIN certificate,
- When visiting the MFC, there is an electronic queue. When submitting documents to the MFC manager, he checks all documents submitted by the applicant - passport, registration, property rights. Also, with the help of the manager, an application for receiving an EZhD is drawn up. If all the documents have been checked and there are no comments on them, then the MFC manager gives the applicant a counterfoil of the application signed by him, indicating the date and time of readiness, i.e. when you need to come for him.
The legislation does not provide for any fees for services for issuing EZhD and other similar documents for the MFC.

Notes are added to the text as necessary.
Grounds for refusal of extradition
The only reason for refusal to issue an EZhD may be the lack of relevant documents for the apartment or house of the applicant. Those. he does not have documents confirming that he is the owner or his legal representative.
In addition, some MFCs and municipalities practice refusal to issue EZhD if the applicant, the owner, has debts to pay for housing, utilities and other services related to the ownership, use, and disposal of this residential property.
Gradually, many MFCs are switching to electronic format. Soon in many cities of the country (mainly in regional, regional or republican centers) it will be possible to carry out all real estate transactions using a single electronic document. It will indicate all the owner's properties, legal status and other necessary legal information.

Purpose of creation
This certificate was created to simplify the performance of any legally significant actions.

- property transactions with real estate,
- privatization,
- registration of a will,
- entering into inheritance,
- registration of subsidies (benefits),
- registration of persons.
It is permissible to use the document when solving everyday problems, for example, registering utilities with a management organization. The ERR is universal.
Processing times and costs
According to the established regulations, the provision of a single housing document is a free service and does not require payment of a state fee. All information about the property, owners and registered citizens is in the departments’ electronic database, so it does not take much time to prepare a certificate. Employees of the multifunctional center must issue the result on the day of application.
Legislative basis
It is worth noting that the ERR has not been implemented at the federal level. Its form, procedure for compilation and issuance are developed and regulated by the Moscow city authorities. The main legislative acts regulating the rules for applying this document include:
- Decree of the Moscow Government No. 575 of August 2, 2005. This state document is entirely dedicated to the EZhD. After it, other regulatory documents were signed, which approved the regulations for the preparation and issuance of a unified form;
- Decree of the Government of the capital No. 111 of March 27, 2012 introduces regulations for the provision of services in the field of housing and communal services, where EZhD is mentioned in one of the annexes.
Interesting: The unified form of a single housing document has not been approved to date. In fact, the form introduced in 2005 is used.
