Hello. Here I will analyze instructions on how a person can check out of an apartment when he is in another locality. This used to be a problem, but now the legislation has been simplified.

Since 2021, the registration of citizens is carried out by the migration departments of the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Federal Migration Service no longer deals with this. The new regulations are described in the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs dated December 31, 2017 N 984, and the previous Order of the Federal Migration Service dated September 11, 2012 N 288 has become invalid.

How to sign out via State Services yourself

The registered person can independently de-register at any time. And it doesn’t matter who the owner of the property is, his consent is not required for the procedure.

In general, there are no obstacles to the procedure. You can be discharged if you have utility debts, if you have not informed where the citizen will be registered afterwards. So, you can go to State Services and sign out at any time. More precisely, submit an application for deregistration at the place of residence.

If you plan to register in another place, which is why you are filling out an extract, then you can simply register at a new place, the extract from the old one will take place automatically within 3 days.

How to check out of an apartment through State Services:

1. The procedure is performed from your confirmed account. The required section can be found through a search by entering “Deregistration” into it. The system will display suitable sections. In our case, we are talking about permanent registration, so we choose the option of withdrawing at the place of residence.

2. The government service page will open, where the algorithm of actions and what documents are needed (in our case, only a passport) will be described step by step. After reading the information, you need to click on the “Get service” button.

3. An application form opens, which you need to fill out. First of all, the applicant indicates who will be discharged. In our case, he himself. Below, the system itself registers the citizen’s data, which is already in the account on State Services.

4. Next, the system will ask you to indicate your current registration address and a new one, if known. If not known, you can mark “no” and not indicate anything.

5. Indication of the reason for discharge. In this case, it is necessary not only to note the reason, but also to indicate its basis. It is convenient that the basis document is immediately indicated by the system. After selecting an option, a field will open where you need to enter data.

6. Next, the system will ask you to answer some questions. Whether the applicant is a citizen of another state, whether he previously had another citizenship, information is needed about the place of employment, social security, education, marital status, etc. Just fill out all the fields of the online application.

7. The next step is to select a department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs where it is convenient for you to go to complete the discharge procedure through State Health Insurance. You indicate the region of your location, the system opens a map with branches available for selection. You can choose any convenient one.

8. After specifying a convenient department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the system will indicate detailed information about it and its work schedule. If the registration form for a specific date and time does not open, it means that the reception is being carried out in a live queue mode.

Finally, the applicant agrees to the processing of the provided data and submits the application for consideration. You can track his “fate” in your personal account on State Services.

The application has been submitted, what next?

There is good communication between the State Services portal and the department, so the application is promptly sent to where it is needed. Now you need to track the status of the application in your personal account or the mobile application of the state portal. As soon as the request is processed, a corresponding notification will appear - it will also be duplicated by email address.

The applicant will receive information that he can go to the selected unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs; he must take his passport with him. The employee will check the passport data and those indicated in the online application for an extract on the State Services. If everything is in order, the corresponding stamp is affixed to the passport.

The extraction procedure is free for citizens; there is no need to pay state fees. The period for providing public services is 3 working days.

What documents are needed?

For checkout - only your own passport. The abolition of the house register greatly simplified the procedure.

For parallel registration - originals of title documents for the house or apartment where you want to register, or consent from the owners for permanent or temporary registration. Plus their personal presence.

The application must be completed on site

Since your passport will be taken away, be sure to obtain a temporary ID from the registrar. The phrase “my passport is registered” in our time will not convince employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of anything in the event of a document check.

According to the law (more precisely, the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs) it is necessary to issue temporary certificates to citizens if their passports are confiscated for operations with them.

If you need to discharge your child

Another question is if we are talking about discharging a child. The application can also be submitted through State Services, but there are a number of nuances. For example, if a child is under 14 years old, he must be registered with one of the parents. That is, it is impossible to register him, but it is impossible to leave the parent (or he needs to be registered with another parent).

It is impossible to discharge a minor anywhere, the only exception is discharge by court decision. Therefore, you must immediately indicate where the child will be registered (necessarily at the place of registration of any parent). Plus, the consent of both parents is required.

The procedure for discharging a child through State Services:

Everything happens similarly to the algorithm of actions indicated above. Only at the very beginning of the application you need to indicate that you are talking about the discharge of your own or a supervised minor child.

The system will ask you to provide the child's details. You need to enter his full name, date of birth and information about his identity document. This may be a birth certificate or passport if the child is over 14 years old.

You can immediately indicate a new address where the child will be registered after discharge. But you don’t have to specify it, then the child will automatically be registered at the place of registration of one of the parents.

The application is sent for consideration. After receiving an invitation to visit the selected department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in your personal account, you can take the child’s passport and documents and complete the deregistration process.

If you do not have a confirmed account on State Services, you can submit an application through the MFC, passport office or department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In this case, you will need to visit the authority twice: the first - to submit an application, the second - to affix a stamp on the extract.

How can an owner remove a person from an apartment?

It’s good if the “tenant” agrees to be discharged and will carry out this procedure himself through the same State Services or another convenient method. But it happens that the registered person does not want to be deregistered, then the owner needs to take some actions.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to discharge a tenant from your apartment through State Services. If the tenant does not want to be deregistered using the standard method, he will have to go to court. If that citizen does not live in the apartment or is not a family member, the court will side with the plaintiff and make an appropriate decision. Having received the decision in your hands, you need to contact the MFC or the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and issue an extract.

If that person has no other place to stay, the court may delay the discharge. That is, give a deferment on eviction for up to 1 year. It is believed that during this period the citizen must resolve his housing issue, and he can be safely discharged. But if we are talking about a minor, difficulties may arise and the involvement of guardianship authorities will be required.

Responsibility for living without registration

For violating the registration rules, a citizen who does not register on time may be held accountable under Art. 19.15.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and fined up to 3,000 rubles.

For owners of residential premises who refuse to register tenants, the fine varies from 2,000 to 5,000 rubles. For officials it will be up to 50,000 rubles, for organizations - from 250,000 to 750,000 rubles.

Note! Citizens living in the residential premises of relatives: spouses, children, parents, grandparents, grandchildren, granddaughters are not held liable. But it is important that they have registration at the housing address.

FAQ

I am the owner of the premises. Can I register my ex-wife through State Services?

No, to discharge a former family member you must go to court; an out-of-court procedure involving filing an online application is not possible. In general, the court will side with you unless there are other aggravating circumstances.

Can I discharge my child through State Services?

Yes, the portal has such an opportunity. But keep in mind that a child under 14 years of age must in any case be registered with one of the parents. You can’t write him out anywhere.

I am 16 years old, can I apply for an extract through State Services?

Yes, at the very beginning of the online application you need to select the option “I am applying for myself, I am under 18 years old.” Applications are accepted from citizens 14-18 years old, but you will need to provide the details of a legal representative, and a minor can submit an application only from his account confirmed on State Services.

How quickly will the statement be issued?

The term for providing the service is 3 working days.

Can I be denied an extract?

No. If you are a legally capable adult citizen of the Russian Federation, you have the right to deregister at your own discretion. In this case, it is not necessary to register somewhere, but if you do not have a temporary or permanent registration for a long time, you may be fined.

Extract from previous place of residence: cost

Extract from the passport office and affixing a stamp to the passport are free of charge. But a citizen may encounter other expense items:

1. Registration of a power of attorney - from 1,500 rubles.
2. Legal advice on the procedure for extracting and registering – from 1,000 rubles.
3. Legal support “turnkey” - from 10,000 rubles.

Lawyers' services are expensive, but in return the client saves his time. The Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs often refuses registration, citing the provision of an incomplete set of documents and other reasons. If you consult a lawyer, you can avoid this situation.

   10/12/2021 at 03:23 pm Hello. Lived with my wife for 2 years. Divorced. Then we got together and purchased a private house with a mortgage; I was the only owner and borrower. A year later I registered my wife and child. They separated and came back together several more times. Two years ago we separated completely. A child with a disability. She refuses to be deregistered. Not a word about the child, let him be registered with me. She lives in a civil marriage with someone else. I have a different family. How can I write it out???

   Dear Roman, you need to apply to the court at your place of residence with a statement of claim “to recognize a former family member as having lost the right to use the residential premises.”

First about the house book

To “dot the t's” - in 2021 there are no more house books in Russia. They were abolished a little earlier, during the transfer of functions of registration of citizens from one department to another.

But in fact, it was a document necessary for a private homeowner, and kept by him.

Since private houses were never part of the state housing stock, some housing authorities did not keep records of registration and check-out of their residents. They only prepared the house register, and then the owner of the house made all the entries himself.

Finding a house register sometimes really became a problem. If a family lived in a house for decades, without registering or registering anyone, they forgot about the book, and it could get lost. This happened especially often with houses received by inheritance. Obtaining a duplicate was not particularly difficult, but the trouble was that the duplicate was “clean”, and it was really difficult to restore the history of registrations and extracts at this address.

But let’s return to our time, to the norms that are relevant at the moment.

Until 2021, registration/discharge was handled by the FMS - Federal Migration Service. Currently – UVM (Office for Migration Issues). Accordingly, the administrative regulations changed and there was a transition to electronic document management. This happened in accordance with Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 984. The order came into force in April 2021. Now you don't need to keep a house register. And receive extracts from it too.

All information about residents is stored electronically in the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and from there it is taken by everyone who needs it and who has the right to receive this information by law.

So no one has the right to demand from a citizen an extract from the house register. Registration is confirmed by an adult’s passport and a special registration certificate for children issued by the Housing Office.
