The State Services service provides the opportunity to simultaneously check out of an apartment and register in another place. You don't even need to fill out two applications for this. However, you should be aware that these are two different procedures. To carry them out on the portal, you need a Russian passport and documents for changing your registration, which confirm ownership or rental.
And one more important nuance that is worth paying attention to: there must be no debts on utility bills for housing, otherwise the extract will be refused.

Sometimes it’s not possible to enter your area right away: the system displays that nothing was found for the given request. You have to do this action several times. First enter the city, and then the region, or first, the region, then the city. And try different options until the system gives the desired region.

Chances are you won't have to wait in line. The fact is that for some reason changing your registration through State Services is not very popular; everyone prefers to change your registration the old-fashioned way through passport officers at the management company. Show your passport to the employee of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The owner of the apartment shows his passport and certificate of ownership of the apartment.
You will need to sign ready-made applications for deregistration at the old address and for registration at the new address. Sometimes they have to be filled out by hand on the spot, because... State Services may have an old form. The owner writes a statement that he agrees to register you in his apartment (the form will be given on the spot).
You are given 2 stamps in your passport - about deregistration at your previous address and about your new registration. Your stay at the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (including possible waiting and filling out applications by hand on the spot) will not take more than 20-30 minutes.
And no passport officers!

Registration nuances
If we are talking about your own real estate, registering in it through State Services or in another way is not a problem. There will be no restrictions, even if we are talking about a share in the premises. But if registration is carried out on someone else’s property, then the consent of the owner is required. He must give his consent to this, expressed by a statement.
If the premises have several co-owners, consent from each will be required. An exception is if we are talking about the child of one of the owners or the child of another person who is already registered in this premises.
Through State Services, you can submit an application for registration not only for yourself, but also for your child under 14 years of age. In this case, the child can be registered at the place of registration of one of his parents, regardless of whether they are the owners or not. According to Russian legislation, children under 14 years of age are registered without barriers in the same place where their parents are registered.
If we are talking about a child 14-18 years old, in this case it is no longer the parent, but he himself who submits the application for registration. That is, if a minor wants to do this through State Services, he must have his own verified account. If it is not there, then registration is issued using standard non-remote methods.
