In a number of situations, in order to protect yourself as much as possible, you need to check who is registered in the apartment. Most often, this is required by the future owner of the premises - the buyer under the purchase and sale agreement, but an official certificate may also be needed for other purposes. For example, for payment of social benefits, registration of pensions and in some other cases. Let's figure out where and how to find out how many people are registered in the apartment.
How to find out who is registered in an apartment
First you need to decide who can give such information. After all, a certificate with full name and the resident’s date of birth contains his personal data, and it is not so easy to obtain them without serious reasons.
You can find out who exactly is registered in the apartment:
- the owner of the premises is the one who is registered as the official owner of this property;
- a tenant already registered in the apartment;
- representative of the owner or tenant by notarized power of attorney;
- legal representative of the owner or registered person - parent, guardian or trustee;
- a tenant who uses an apartment on the basis of a rental agreement;
- court, prosecutor or investigator upon a special official request.
People who are not related to the apartment can only receive an extract from Rosreestr about the rights registered for the property. It indicates who is the owner of the property - its official owner. From the extract it is impossible to find out who else, besides the owner, is registered in the apartment and has the right to live in it.
Conclusion
Verifying the details of registered persons is very important for a potential buyer. The desired information can be obtained in different ways, the main thing is to understand why to do it. After all, protection from fraudsters means the buyer’s attentive attitude to all aspects of the transaction.

Where to find out who is registered in the apartment
Registration at the place of residence and stay is carried out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is in this department that all data on the permanent and temporary registration of a person at the place of residence and place of stay is stored. But this does not mean that you can only get the necessary information from the police. There are a number of other institutions that can issue the interested person a certificate indicating who is registered in the apartment.
These include:
- MFC – in Moscow and regions;
- management companies and homeowners associations with the function of a passport office - in Moscow and the regions;
- police departments at the address of the apartment - in Moscow and the regions;
- locality administrations in small settlements (towns and villages);
- Residents of the capital can also access the Moscow Mayor’s portal.
The listed departments also issue other housing documents, for example, EZhD, copies of personal accounts, copies of registration cards. By the way, now records of registered persons are kept electronically, so in some cases there may be no paper copies - everything is generated in the form of extracts from electronic databases.
Possible consequences
What will happen if several people register? If the registration was indeed carried out for persons who live in the premises , then there will be no negative consequences.
For example, if the owner has a large family and many distant relatives or close friends who actually live in the living space, then there is nothing to impose liability for. However, if the living space is “dimensionless”, in which persons who do not live there are registered, then the owner faces criminal liability . According to Article 322.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, for fictitious registration, the owner faces one of several types of punishment, the most severe of which is a criminal term of up to 3 years.
However, there is a note to the article, which states that a person who has committed such a crime, but assists in the investigation on this issue and in the absence of another crime, is completely exempt from liability.
Is it worth contacting Rosreestr?
Rosreestr does not issue housing registration documents. Through it you can only obtain information about the title copyright holder, but not about the registered ones. It often happens that the owner himself does not register in his apartment, but is registered at another address, therefore, in terms of the number of registered citizens, the extract from Rosreestr (USRN) is not informative.
The buyer can, through Rosreestr, check the presence of encumbrances on housing - prohibitions, arrests, long-term leases or rentals. The Renovar.ru portal recommends that all buyers request an extract for future housing from the Unified State Register of Real Estate through the MFC or Rosreestr online in order to protect themselves from legal disputes.
What documents will be needed
When contacting any department to find out how many people are registered in the apartment, you will need:
- applicant's passport - original;
- if a representative is coming, a notarized power of attorney (an ordinary power of attorney will not work);
- a document confirming the right to receive information about those registered.
The last paragraph includes any documents that confirm your right to order such a certificate. It could be:
- an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate or a certificate of ownership, if you are the owner of the property;
- rental or rental agreement, if you rent an apartment;
- a stamp in your passport about registration or a certificate of temporary registration, if you have already received registration in this apartment.
Future buyers can check who is registered in the apartment if they have a preliminary purchase and sale agreement.
How are payments for services made?
Payments for utility services are calculated according to tariffs approved by regional authorities
Recently, for city residents, the topic of calculating rent is probably the most popular.
In order to understand how accruals occur, you need to understand: for what and from what calculation the payment is made.
The first thing that is important is the types of services, they can be:
- utilities;
- housing.
The first includes the supply of resources necessary for a person. They make up about seventy percent of the entire payment.
Consumption per unit is paid at certain tariffs, which are approved by regional authorities. Usually this happens once a year.
It should be understood that they do not depend on who the payer is: the owner or the tenant. All payments are calculated using the same rules for everyone.
Order a certificate about the number of registered management companies or homeowners associations registered in the passport office
The fastest way to obtain the necessary information is from your own management company or homeowners’ association, if they provide passport office services. To do this, you will need to collect all the documents and come in person to the office of the management company or HOA. They do not issue such documents remotely. The application is written according to the Criminal Code form upon visit, and the certificate itself is issued immediately or the next day. As a rule, you can find out your full name from it. registered, his date of birth and date of registration in the apartment, the nature of registration - permanent or temporary. A certificate from the management company or HOA is valid for up to 5 days.
Deadlines for consideration of applications
Here the result depends on the organization to which the request is sent. The following rules apply as standard:
- multifunctional centers - on the day of application, if an extended statement is requested, the issuance period varies from 3 to 7 days;
- management company – the terms for issuing the certificate are similar to the previous ones;
- Migration Service - within 30 days, counting from the date of acceptance of the application;
- Rosreestr – review and issuance periods do not exceed 5 days.
Find out about those registered in the MFC
The MFC does not keep records of those registered in the apartment, but acts as an intermediary between the applicant and the agency authorized in the region to issue such information. To obtain information, you need to personally come to an appointment on a first-come, first-served basis at any “My Documents” office with a package of documents from the list above. Be sure to take your original passport with you.
The application will be filled out by an MFC employee at the reception. There is no need to fill out anything in advance. The response time is up to a week, plus time for sending documents between the MFC and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
How long does registration take?
The maximum period for processing documents is three months. During this period, parents must submit all documents to the necessary authorities. If the deadline is missed, paper will be required explaining why the delay occurred. Otherwise, you may run into administrative punishment. Without objective serious reasons, the fine can reach up to five thousand rubles.
Muscovites – get information on the Moscow Mayor’s website
Owners and tenants of housing can find out about those registered in the apartment for free via the Internet online. This service is implemented on the Moscow Mayor’s portal. In this case, the only documents you will need are passport data and the address of the apartment, and the certificate will be generated in one business day. You don’t need to go anywhere to get it, the answer will come in electronic form.
By the way, for representatives with a notarized power of attorney, this option is not available - you will have to go to the MFC or passport office in person.
How to find a person by his registration address
There are several options for doing this, but it is unlikely that you will be able to obtain the necessary information on your own. Therefore, in some cases you will have to turn to third parties for help.
Electronic databases
Perhaps this is the only way to find a person by registration. Let us note that, in addition to illegal databases, there are also official sources on the Internet that can help in resolving this issue. These include:
- tax inspectorate reference books;
- traffic police bases;
- online information desks
- Bailiffs Service;
- phone and address books.
This option is free, but has three serious drawbacks:
- Outdated information is often posted.
- The database covers a specific city, and if the locality is unknown, it is impossible to obtain information.
- Only information about the owner is indicated; the number of registered persons remains unknown.
Law offices
Human rights defenders are empowered to send requests in the interests of the client to government authorities, including law enforcement agencies. Therefore, through a lawyer it is quite possible to find a person at his registration address. However, you will have to pay for such services, and often the amount requested does not justify the result obtained.
Police
A civilian cannot make a formal request to search for a person through law enforcement agencies, so they will have to act informally. To do this, contact the local inspector at the place of registration of the person you need to find.
The result of such an appeal depends on the human factor: the district police officer is not obliged to do this, but can step into the situation and help the person who has applied.
Social network
Searching for a person by last name and residential address is possible through social networks, but you should not completely trust the information received. Moreover, the method is free, so it deserves attention.
In a group of social networks dedicated to a specific city or region, a post is posted asking for information about people living at the specified address. You can motivate a request in different ways: no one will check your true goals. The human factor also comes into play here, but in a positive way. People rarely care about saving personal data, so they easily share information of interest.
When turning to this method, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the information provided is at the level of unverified rumors: the person living in the apartment may not have a residence permit, and vice versa.
Detective agency
This is the most effective and expensive method. A private detective acts solely in the interests of the client, therefore he obtains the ordered information by any available means.
