Russian legislation is extremely strict in matters of migration control in relation to both guests of the country and its citizens. In this regard, the requirements for timely registration on a permanent or temporary basis must be strictly followed.

Legislative framework of the issue
De-registration of citizens
Registration at the place of residence: how long will it take?
Deadline for registration at place of residence after discharge
Responsibility for late registration
Permanent registration for 1 year

Legislative framework of the issue

The migration procedure for removing and registering citizens at their place of residence on a permanent and temporary basis is regulated by the following legislative acts:

Federal Law No. 5242-1-FZ of June 25, 1993 “On the right of citizens to freedom of movement” is the main regulatory document indicating the basic rules for the registration procedure, as well as the deadlines for its registration;
The procedure for deregistration and registration is set out in the relevant Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 713 of July 17, 1995;
Sanctions for violating the deadlines requiring completion of registration are described in Art. 19.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, while the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides for more serious forms of punishment for offenders engaged in fictitious registration.

Common Mistakes

Mistake #1. If you do not register on time, there will be nothing for it.

Indeed, in Moscow many people work without registration, but this imposes many restrictions. In addition, during a raid, a local police officer may notice a violation, and then a fine cannot be avoided.

Mistake #2. You can register in any room.

Some pay for registration in “rubber” apartments, in which 200 people are registered. In fact, now the migration authorities have special control over such premises, so registration can be canceled at any time by their decision.

De-registration of citizens

The timing of deregistration of a person at his former place of residence directly depends on the method of performing the procedure.

The fastest option is immediate registration in another housing.

By filing this request with the Federal Migration Service, the applicant has the opportunity to be deregistered at the previous address automatically.

Discharging a person to nowhere, for example, if the owner has sold an apartment, obliges him to go through a full procedure of contacting the Federal Migration Service at his place of residence and writing a corresponding application.

In this case, the waiting period for the return of a passport with an extract stamp should not exceed 3 days from the date of acceptance of the request.

It will take about 3 days to issue an extract through the State Services service. After processing the request, the citizen is invited to the migration services office to verify documents and confirm the procedure.

Registration of newborns

How and where to register a newborn

Registration of a newborn child is a prerequisite for access to social benefits prescribed by law.

The process of registering children usually takes several days. After the procedure, a stamp is placed on the child’s birth certificate, which confirms that he is registered.

The operation is performed free of charge, but it should be taken into account that only one of the parents can register the child at the place of residence.

The registration period is 7 days after receiving the birth certificate. The certificate is received within 1 month from the date of birth. The maximum registration period is 1 month and 7 days.

Parents have the right to register their child not only at their permanent place of residence. Registration can also be carried out at the address of residential property, which is their property, but not their permanent place of residence. In case of insufficient living space, which is provided for by the standards, registration of the child is also possible.

A child can be discharged from a house or apartment only upon subsequent registration, which must be completed within 7 days.

Registration at the place of residence: how long will it take?

By submitting all the necessary documents (passport, departure sheet, title document for housing or written consent of the owner) to the passport office of the FMS authorities (or MFC) at the location of the new residence address, and writing an application (Form No. 6), citizens can expect consideration and, directly, registration of a new registration from 3 to 8 days.

It must be said that this period can last up to 30 days for a number of reasons:

clarification of the applicant’s status in relation to the housing property;
verification of the location of a new apartment (house);
determination of membership in the number of citizens registered with the military registration and enlistment office.

How to do it?

The registration procedure at the place of residence consists of several stages.

First you need to choose a place to stay.
Afterwards, obtain the consent of the owner, the tenant in municipal housing and other residents (whether it is possible to obtain temporary registration in municipal housing and how to do this is described here). It must be in writing.
After this, you should prepare the necessary documents, the list of which is established by the rules of Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated December 31, 2017 No. 984. Both originals and certified copies of documents can be submitted to the registration authority.
The collected documents are sent to the registration authority. You can do this:
- personally;
by mail;
through the MFC or the State Services portal.

The option for sending information is determined by the registrant himself. There is no need to pay a state fee, since the service is provided free of charge. This rule applies to both citizens of the Russian Federation and foreigners.

Costs may only be associated with the preparation of documents, their notarization and forwarding. The deadlines for the implementation of the procedure are established for each method of transferring papers.

Upon completion of the procedure, the person will receive a certificate of registration at the place of residence in Form 3, approved by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated December 31, 2021 No. 984.

How to check temporary registration for authenticity or cancel it ahead of schedule, as well as in what cases temporary registration affects utility bills and whether they can be reduced - find out in detail in our separate materials.

Deadline for registration at place of residence after discharge

7 days is the legally established period for citizens to register a new permanent registration from the moment of discharge and arrival at the facility - a new place of residence.

If the period of residence in another city exceeds 90 days, the person is required to obtain temporary registration, limited to a specific period.

At the same time, there is no need to deregister at your permanent place of registration.

FAQ

Question No. 1. Is it necessary to involve the guardianship authorities when a child changes his place of registration in Moscow?

Yes, here the interests of minors are monitored by the guardianship authorities, so their involvement is strictly necessary.

Question No. 2. Is it possible to register through State Services and not leave home?

You can only submit documents through the portal, but in any case you will have to provide their originals in person, as well as receive a certificate based on the results of the review.

Responsibility for late registration

Violation of the deadlines within which citizens are required to register at a new place of residence is punishable by penalties. According to Article 19.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, for living without registration, Russians will pay a fine of 2 to 3 thousand rubles (depending on the region).

For those living in Moscow and St. Petersburg, this amount will be even higher: from 3 to 5 thousand rubles.

Why is it impossible to live without permanent or temporary registration in Moscow?

The term registration fell into oblivion 20 years ago with the adoption of the Law “On the Right of Citizens to Freedom of Movement...” in 1993. Official documents began to refer to this procedure as registration at the place of residence and stay. You can now live wherever you want, move wherever you want, you just have to notify the FMS authorities of your location. But it is the responsibility of citizens to inform them about this.

Length of stay without a stamp in the passport

Only the owner of the apartment, or those living in it under a social tenancy agreement, can receive a stamp in their passport indicating their place of residence. If you do not have a property document or contract, it is impossible to obtain permanent registration.

At the same time, you have the right to live without her for only 7 days. It is during this period that you must register upon arrival at your new place of residence. If this deadline is violated, the citizen will be fined up to 3 thousand.

The period can be increased, but for a valid reason, which is treatment in a hospital. Business trip or home sale. Of course, any action must be confirmed by official documents (certificate from a medical institution, sick leave, document on the sale of an apartment, travel documents).

In principle, it is possible to live without registration, but with some restrictions on social rights. Without registration, you will not be able to get medical help, get a well-paid job, buy a car, or receive benefits and other social benefits. Separately, it should be noted the importance of permanent registration in Moscow, since those who have it receive quite significant benefits and payments, can get a prestigious job, or place their child in an educational institution.

You can be registered in your own housing by a relative or friend. But if there are none, don’t be upset. Specialized organizations can help you register officially in Moscow. Their database contains a lot of experience and useful information, which makes it possible to obtain competent legal support. Registration is carried out in the presence of the owners, and after the procedure you will have absolutely no problems. Citizens of the Russian Federation receive a stamp in their passport and can live in the apartment they rent with complete peace of mind.

Advantages of having temporary registration in Moscow

The very concept of temporary registration differs significantly from permanent registration. This procedure is necessary for persons who are not at their place of permanent residence. If you leave your own home for a long time and live for more than 90 days in another city, temporary registration is required

In Moscow there are special requirements for this procedure. At any moment you can be stopped on the street by employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and their documents checked. Checking the availability of temporary registration in the capital region is also possible for those who live in a rented apartment.

Moreover, temporary registration, unlike permanent registration, is not a stamp in the passport. A citizen can have permanent registration in any city in the Russian Federation. But in order to live peacefully in another area, it is necessary to obtain from the Federal Migration Service a separate document with a seal, officially confirming the citizen’s temporary stay in a particular area.

The law requires obtaining a temporary registration document when residing outside your permanent place of residence for more than 90 days. If there is no such document, you face a fine of up to 5 thousand, and if you are repeatedly brought to administrative responsibility and expulsion from the city. So, persons who ignore the need for temporary registration in the capital may well be deported from the capital.

Of course, there are ways to prove to the authorities that you have just arrived in the capital and are leaving soon. Also, according to the law, you do not have to obtain temporary registration when staying with close relatives. That is, you can say that you are visiting your grandmother, aunt, uncle, sister and are going home soon, then no one has the right to fine you. Of course, your relatives must confirm your relationship and the fact of your temporary residence in their own apartment.

But all these measures are temporary, and while in the capital, you will constantly worry about how not to get caught by regulatory authorities and prove the legality of your own presence in this or that living space. It is impossible to live calmly in this situation, which means you will be in constant emotional tension.

What does temporary registration in Moscow provide?

Official registration in Moscow for citizens of the Russian Federation makes it possible to avoid many troubles and at the same time obtain the necessary social status. Having a temporary registration document, you can receive medical care, find a good job, take out a bank loan, enroll in an educational institution, etc.

You do not have temporary registration in Moscow

Lack of temporary registration in the capital when living in it for more than 90 days is an administrative violation. By law, it is punishable by a fine of five to seven thousand.

The law does not prohibit living a full social life without temporary registration in Moscow, having a permanent residence permit in another city. You can even protect yourself from employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs by proving that you allegedly arrived in Moscow recently and are soon planning to return to your hometown. You can even change your place of residence every three months.

But there are moments in life when you simply cannot do without temporary registration. You cannot do without temporary registration in the following situations:

- When applying for a job. According to labor law, the employer does not have the right not to hire you due to lack of temporary registration. But in practice, it is the lack of registration in Moscow that becomes an obstacle to getting a job.

— When applying for a loan from a bank. Many financial organizations are more willing to provide loans and credits to residents of Moscow and the Moscow region. But it is almost impossible for residents registered in an area remote from the capital and who do not even have temporary registration in Moscow to get the go-ahead from the security service.

— When placing a child in an educational institution. Of course, they cannot refuse to admit your child to a school or kindergarten, but children living in the area where the institution is located have priority right of admission. So, without temporary registration in Moscow, your child will be forced to attend the educational institution that has places. And this is often so far from your real place of residence that it is practically impossible in reality.

Thus, if you want to live in Moscow and rent a house, you simply need to formally obtain temporary registration.

Some advice for Russian citizens who do not have a registration stamp

Of course, each case of lack of registration in a passport is individual, but solving the problem is vital to avoid problems. You can obtain registration at your place of residence as follows:

1. Register in the dormitories of some enterprises.

2. If it is impossible to resolve the issue on your own, seek legal support from law firms.

3. Register the dacha building (today this has become possible under certain conditions).

4. Buy a small house in a remote locality and at the same time obtain temporary registration in Moscow.

If your passport does not have a registration stamp, there is a risk of getting yourself into some trouble. Therefore, you need to solve this issue in any way available to you. And if you work and live in the capital, it is advisable to formalize temporary registration in Moscow to ensure your own well-being.

Initial registration

Is it possible to stay in Moscow without registration? Yes, as in any other region of the Russian Federation. Applying for registration takes some time, and so does finding suitable housing. But this does not mean that a citizen can postpone registration actions for a long time.

Primary registration (registration of newborns) has no restrictions. You can register your child at any time. But it is better to cope with this task during the first month of the baby’s life. Otherwise, serious difficulties will arise with the preparation of children's documents and benefits.
