Bureaucratic difficulties: what documents need to be changed when changing registration?

Deregistration

Regardless of the reasons for moving, the procedure for changing registration does not change.

• make an extract at the old address and register at the new location of housing;
• do not perform any actions at the old address, come to the new place and, already there, during the registration process, simultaneously extract from the old address and register at the new address.

In the latter case, there will be less hassle when preparing documents. However, in the first case everything will happen a little faster. The reasons for discharge may vary.

1. When moving to a new place of permanent residence. Typical situations are buying a new apartment or getting a new job in another city or region.
2. In case of conscription for military service. Of course, this applies only to citizens liable for military service.
3. If it so happens that a crime has been committed and this citizen is convicted by a court decision. Based on such a decision, he can be discharged.
4. Of course, in the case when a tenant dies, he is discharged from the occupied living space.
5. If the initial registration was carried out in violation of legal requirements, when this is discovered, the citizen may be discharged from his place of residence.
6. If a citizen was registered in this housing on the basis of ownership of the specified apartment, and for some reason he lost such a right, then he is subject to deportation from this address. This could happen, for example, if he sold his residential property.
7. Another option for losing the right to registration occurs when a former tenant is declared missing.

A decision to declare a person missing can only be made by a court based on a thorough examination of the relevant facts.

Here is a list of the main reasons for discharge. It is not complete and may be supplemented by other options.

General provisions

If there is a need to register in a new place, you need to know what actions should be taken and where registration is done.

1. The first step applies specifically to those who change their place of registration in connection with conscription for military service. In this case, two different situations are possible. In the first case, we are talking about a new registration in the same city. In this case, the discharge procedure may not be carried out at all. During the registration process, the passport office will issue an extract automatically. If the destination is outside the city where the person liable for military service originally lived, the extract must be made independently by coming to the passport office at the place of residence. They may try to refuse, but this will be a violation of the law.
2. This point applies to all options for changing your registration. You will need to come to the passport office and submit the completed Form 6. This is an application for permanent registration. It is filled not by one person, but by the entire family that is moving. If there are children in the family and they have not yet reached 14 years of age, then their parents fill out the document for them.
3. If an extract from the old place of residence has not been previously made, this is done on the basis of an application.
4. In the application for registration, it is necessary to indicate the legal basis for registration at the new address. For example, registration takes place in a purchased apartment, then you must present a document confirming ownership of this living space.
5. The package of documents must include the passports of each person registering. Children who register receive birth certificates.
6. It is necessary to issue a departure slip for each person.
7. If there are already registered residents in the apartment where you are going to move in, you must obtain written consent from all of them. If there are several apartment owners there at the same time, permission to register at the desired address must be obtained from everyone.
8. After presenting the documents to the passport office employee, you need to wait until he checks them for completeness and correctness. After this, they are considered finally accepted.
9. These types of documents are usually reviewed within 10–12 days.
10. After review, passports will be issued, which will indicate the new place of permanent registration.

By law, anyone can leave their current place of registration without giving reasons. It is possible to indicate the disposal address, but in any case it does not undergo special verification.

An application to deregister a citizen is most often submitted in the following situations:

• If you need to sell real estate. After the decision to sell the apartment, it is necessary to carry out the procedure for deregistering all previously registered residents; this is a mandatory point in drawing up an agreement when purchasing living space or selling it.
• Changing your place of residence to an apartment in another city or when moving abroad.

Before completing the registration process in a new place, you should make sure that there is no registration left in the previous living space.

• passport;
• a completed application form, made in a free format on the topic of an extract from a previous place;
• departure address sheet, which also needs to be filled out.

The form will be provided by the registrar or must be downloaded in advance from the electronic page of the Federal Migration Service of Russia (at the bottom of the site, you need to look for form No. 7). After three working days, the document will be ready for issue along with the second form of the departure certificate.

A citizen can be deregistered without filing an application independently.

This may happen if:

• death or in a state of absence without a trace;
• if the registration process is proven to be fictitious, the registration is canceled due to an error in creating the document, or if the authority to own housing has been lost.

Departure address form (form 7)

Vehicles are registered for individuals at the address indicated in the passports of citizens of the Russian Federation or in certificates of registration at the place of residence of the owners issued by registration authorities.

Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation dated November 24, 2008 No. 1001, paragraph 24.1

Violation of the rules of state registration of vehicles of all types (with the exception of ships under construction, sea vessels, mixed (river-sea) navigation vessels, inland navigation vessels, including small vessels), mechanisms and installations if registration is mandatory - entails the imposition of an administrative fine for citizens in the amount of one thousand five hundred to two thousand rubles; for officials - from two thousand to three thousand five hundred rubles; for legal entities - from five thousand to ten thousand rubles.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with: Certificate of acceptance of delivery of work under a contract with an individual

Article Art. 19.22 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation

Previously, the law allocated five days for re-registration, but now the period has been extended to 10 days, after the amendments to the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia of August 7, 2013 N 605 “On approval of the Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for the provision of state services for registration motor vehicles and trailers for them.”

How will the police understand that you have not completed all the documents properly? Very simple. When stopping your car, you will be asked to present documents, including registration documents for the vehicle. They indicate the registration address. If it diverges from the STS, the latter is considered invalid.

What to do if there is an individual entrepreneur

Individual entrepreneurs are not required to notify anyone about a change of registration. It is enough to record the changes in the passport at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The information will be transmitted automatically to the Federal Tax Service, Pension Fund, and Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund. The tax office will update information about individual entrepreneurs in the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs. Just in case, you can check whether the data was entered correctly via the Internet.

As you can see, changing your address entails visiting many organizations. This may take a lot of time. However, this will have to be done.

This is the only way Uncle Fedor can avoid possible problems with various institutions. You can speed up this procedure by submitting data to several organizations at once through the MFC. Then the changes will be made in one visit.

Methods

Due to the importance of this document, it will be necessary to consider in more detail the procedure for filling it out in order to obtain registration. First of all, it is necessary to understand that the application on Form 6 refers to obtaining permanent registration in order to register in the apartment. In the case when the issue of temporary registration is being considered, the application must be in Form 1.

And it will not be about the place of residence, but about changing the place of residence. The document discussed in this section is a specially printed form, which, in particular, provides for the presence of a tear-off coupon. The document lists carefully thought-out questions that the applicant must answer when applying for registration.

A cut-off coupon is needed if, when registering in a new place, the citizen was not deregistered at the previous place of residence.

1. Immediately below the name you must indicate the name of the territorial registration authority. In the past, this was done by the Federal Migration Service. Now the registration has been transferred to the Department of Internal Affairs.
2. Next, you must provide the applicant’s personal information. These include the date and place of birth, as well as his last name, first name and patronymic.
3. When filling out the document, the previous address from which the applicant left is reported.
4. When it comes to specifying a legal representative, this applies only to children whose age does not exceed 14 years. In this case, it is such a representative (usually his parents) who is obliged to deal with registration of registration. The document must indicate not only his passport details, but also the degree of relationship in relation to the child.
5. Next, information is provided about who provides housing. All his personal information is indicated. An important special case is that registration can be carried out in one’s own home. If this is the case, you need to indicate this, as well as provide details of those documents that confirm ownership of the specified property.

As soon as the application is written, it is verified by an employee of the registration authority who accepts documents. In this case, the application is recorded in the appropriate logbook. The application must be signed by the applicant and the owner of the residential property where the move-in takes place. Instead of the applicant, the actions can be performed by his representative.

This is only possible if a power of attorney has been issued for him in accordance with all the rules to carry out such actions.

According to Russian legislation, all citizens of the country have the full right to freedom of movement and choice of place of residence. Moreover, each of them is obliged to register at the place of his residence or stay. The choice of one type of registration or another depends on the length of stay at a particular address. But registration is not always required.

A change of permanent residence permit is carried out in cases where a citizen needs to change his place of residence completely or for a long period of time. This procedure is somewhat different from that performed during temporary registration.

The main reason for changing the place of permanent registration is a change of residential address. For example, when buying a new home or moving due to marriage. Also, the reason may be a long-term business trip to another region, as well as military service.

If a person changes his place of residence, he must begin registration within seven days. If the deadlines are not met, the citizen may be subject to a fine, the amount of which varies from 2 to 3 thousand rubles.

The procedure for processing registration documents is carried out by the Federal Migration Service (FMS). However, papers can be submitted through other organizations.

These include:

• Housing office or passport office;
• MFC;
• branch of the Russian Post.

It is also possible to transfer documents via the Internet. This method is carried out through the State Services portal. Through it you can prepare other documents, as well as use other services of government bodies. But before applying for registration in a new place, you must first deregister yourself at your old address.

Application form for deregistration

Deregistration is the most important process in preparation for obtaining a new permanent registration. The legislation provides two ways to remove a citizen from registration.

The most well-known method is deregistration upon departure. Like obtaining a residence permit, this process is carried out through the Federal Migration Service. And the transfer of documents can be carried out through the MFC or Housing Office.

Unlike an application for registration, a document requesting deregistration is filled out in any form. In addition to the listed papers, you can also prepare a form in advance according to Form No. 7. But if you apply through the FMS, it will be available from the registrar.

Like registration, the time frame for deregistration is about 3 working days from the moment the documents are submitted to the FMS. At the end of the process, the citizen is issued his passport with changes, as well as a copy of the departure slip.

For the convenience of the client, today a whole list of methods has been developed that allows you to change your registration. Actions can be performed remotely, or by personally visiting the branch of the relevant government agency.

The specifics of changing the place of registration directly depend on which method the citizen chooses. A timely analysis of the features of each method will help you avoid difficulties.

Passport Office

The easiest way is to change your registration through the passport office. To use the method, a citizen will have to prepare a package of documentation and personally visit a branch of the government agency.

Once at the office, the person will have to fill out an application for registration at the place of residence. The document can be filled out in advance. However, you need to remember that the form must correspond to the established template. If the application rules are violated, it will need to be submitted again.

If a person comes from another locality, the standard list of papers should be supplemented with a departure sheet. The paper can be obtained by contacting the passport office at your old place of registration.

We invite you to read: Registration of a lease agreement for non-residential premises: deadlines and state duty that must be paid

Having received the papers, the FMS employee will check them and put a stamp in the passport with a new address. You have 7 days to complete the action. The completed documentation is returned to the citizen.

The procedure for contacting the MFC is almost identical to changing your registration through the passport office. The difference lies only in the timing. The MFC processes documents more slowly than the FMS department.

The processing time may be extended by 23 business days. In addition, it is worth considering the time it takes for papers to travel from the MFC to the Federal Migration Service and back.

A certificate of registration of a child at the place of residence can be obtained at the passport office.

Public services

If a person wants to save time on filing an application, they can change their registration through government services. To perform the manipulation, a citizen will need to register on the portal of the same name.

The procedure is not complicated. The system gives hints, following which the citizen will quickly perform the action.

How to change permanent registration in your passport

How to change your registration and when this is necessarily described in the following documents:

1. Law No. 5242-1 on freedom of movement, which introduced the practice of registration instead of the propiska system;
2. Government Decree No. 713 - rules for registration and deregistration, regulating the actions of all parties to registration.

According to them, the lack of registration is not a reason for restricting the constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens. But registering at a permanent address or in case of long-term residence in another place is the duty of a citizen. Sanctions for failure to comply with these standards are provided for in Article 19.15.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses - from 2 to 5 thousand rubles, depending on the region, for an unregistered resident, and from 2 to 7 thousand for private owners of housing in which an “illegal immigrant” lives. If a legal entity commits a violation of guest registration, the fine can be up to 800 thousand rubles.

Important!

Those who do not live according to registration within the locality in which they are already registered on a permanent basis, as well as those who have moved in with spouses and close relatives, will not be fined under the same norm of the Code of Administrative Offences.

Consequences

In the process of changing address to change registration, certain changes may be required in some situations and not required in others. You need to know exactly when to make changes, and in which cases you don’t have to worry about it.

What needs to be changed when changing registration?

1. Of course, certain changes were made to the passport - a permanent registration mark is placed there. This has already been done during the registration procedure.
2. Since a change of registration usually occurs in connection with a change in property rights, it is also necessary to make the necessary changes in the relevant documents in order to register a person in an apartment.
3. If you have your own vehicle, those applying for a new registration are required to display the change of registration address.
4. You must make the appropriate notes on your military ID.
5. Those who are already retired also need to worry. You should notify the new branch of the Pension Fund about the changes.

This is a short list of those documents where a change in the place of registration will require certain changes. Now the question arises: what to do with the remaining documents after changing the registration in the passport?

1. Various types of bank documents. Any of them can be included here. In particular, there is no need to make changes to already concluded agreements or to the bank cards used. You can verify this by contacting the bank.
2. A document such as a driver's license will not undergo any changes.
3. Medical insurance will continue to be valid regardless of receiving a new residential address. The health insurance policy will not be changed. This document will not be issued again.
4. The medical insurance number will remain the same, nothing in it for registration in the apartment will change.
5. The certificate containing the individual tax number (TIN) will not undergo any changes.

To what has been said, we need to add only one small nuance, which relates to bank cards and agreements. It is possible that more favorable conditions will be offered at the new address than at the previous place of residence. It is possible that a banking institution will agree, based on the client’s request and change of address, to transfer him to new, more favorable conditions.

It is recommended to check the possible benefits and, if available, contact the new bank branch. Although, of course, this is not necessary.

Where will you need to contact?

Changing the place of registration requires mandatory contact with the following authorities:

• to the official employer;
• to the military registration and enlistment office;
• to the traffic police (if you own a vehicle);
• to the bank where the loan was taken out or the deposit was made (most often this need is specified in the agreement with the banking institution);
• to the Pension Fund if a citizen is applying for a pension.

Let's take a closer look at the documents that will still undergo changes.

Deadlines

The deadline for re-registration is clearly stated in the current legislation. According to the rules, a person is required to register within 7 days from the date of discharge at the previous address. Violation of the period is fraught with fines.

If the property is sold, the parties to the contract have the right to independently determine the period for the previous owner's release. Usually it takes 1-2 months to complete the procedure.

Before contacting the relevant government agency, you will need to prepare a package of documentation.

In order for the institution’s employees to agree to affix a stamp in the applicant’s passport, the following documents are required:

• passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation or birth certificate, if a child under 14 years of age needs registration;
• paper on the basis of which a person received the right to use or own an apartment;
• completed application;
• passport of the property owner, if the citizen will register in someone else’s apartment;
• written consent of all property owners, if registration is carried out on the territory of someone else’s living space.

The list of papers may vary depending on the individual nuances of the current situation. Thus, if a child under 14 years of age is registered separately from one of the parents, it will be necessary to obtain his consent to carry out the registration procedure. If your permanent place of residence changes, the standard list of papers will need to be supplemented with a departure form.

If minor citizens under guardianship live in the apartment, you will need to obtain permission from the guardianship and trusteeship authorities. The permission is issued in writing.

Statement

When the documentation package has been prepared, you need to visit the branch of the government agency and fill out an application. An example of finished paper can be found at any passport office.

The application must contain the following information:

• the name of the government body to which the documents are submitted;
• Full name of the applicant, date of birth and place of birth;
• the address from which the extract took place;
• information about the person providing the accommodation;
• the grounds on which a person receives the right to use or own housing;
• the address where the property is located;
• applicant's passport details.

The statement may vary depending on the individual nuances of the situation. If the child is under 14 years of age, the application must be filled out on his behalf by his parents or other legal representatives. They also have the right to sign the paper.

If a person is already 14 years old, he must fill out the form and sign it. In the case of a citizen who is already 14 years old, but not yet 18, the parent is required to sign, confirming that he agrees with the change of the child’s place of residence.

Price

If a citizen needs to change his registration, there is no fee for performing the action. There is no state duty. All manipulations are carried out free of charge. Demanding money for performing a procedure is illegal.

If such a violation occurs, the citizen has the right to complain about non-compliance with the provisions of the current legislation.

By the way, premature deregistration at the previous address is not required; this process can be made automatic.

It is not necessary to carry out the procedure of deregistration from your main place of residence in order to apply for a temporary one.

Application form for registration at place of residence (form 6)

Sample application for change of registration

The application form for a change of registration according to Form No. 6 consists of two parts, which allows you to both change your place of registration and register or register at the same time.

Both statements contain typical blocks:

• Name of the registration authority.
• Full name and passport details of the applicant. When an application is submitted on behalf of a child, his or her details and information about the parent or adoptive parent who filled out the form are indicated.
• Addresses of old and new housing. If a citizen is discharged “to nowhere,” you still need to indicate the intended address of residence.
• Name and details of documents confirming the right to move in: certificate of ownership, lease agreement. In the case where the owner of the property is not registering, the owner’s details and his consent to registration will be required.

At the end of the form, space is left for the decision of the registration authority, as well as for a note about the details of the minor’s registration certificate, if it is issued.

Who to notify when changing your registered address

Long lines, a difficult process, a lot of paperwork - I’m so reluctant to deal with this. But this is necessary, otherwise the lack of registration can let you down at the most inconvenient moment.

The tax office itself will inform the PF (pension fund) or the social fund about changes in registration. insurance on your own, no personal participation required.

If you change your place of residence, you should immediately notify the bank where the loan was previously issued, or if this is stated in the agreement concluded with the bank.

Reasons

Current legislation allows a citizen to withdraw from his previous place of registration without specifying a reason. The basis for performing such an action is an application from a person wishing to change the registration. Typically, papers are submitted if real estate is being sold or a person is moving to a permanent place of residence abroad or to another locality.

If a purchase and sale agreement is concluded, all previous occupants must be evicted from the property. This rule is provided for by the agreement.

It will be possible to register at a new place of residence only if the person has checked out at the old address. They can be deregistered automatically or upon departure.

For a child

A child's birth certificate is issued within a month after the birth of the child; parents are required to obtain it, and it will be needed for registration. According to the law, it is necessary to obtain registration for a newborn within 7 calendar days at the address of one of the parents.

If you need to register a child in an apartment where one of the parents is registered, then it is not necessary to obtain permission and consent from other owners and other people living there.

Below is a list of the necessary documents to register a child in your living space:

• birth certificate;
• passport, identity document, for mother and father;
• paper confirming the legality and officiality of the marriage.

If the child’s parents have not entered into an official marriage contract, then successful registration of the child is possible in the living space of any parent, in which case the written consent of the partner will be required.

List of required documents

If you need to register after changing your previous living space, you must provide the following set of documents to the Federal Migration Service of Russia:

• a written form with an application for registration services (look for form number 6 at the bottom of the site);
• passport;
• a document proving your direct authority to reside at the new address specified in the application (a certificate establishing a person’s ownership, as well as a rental agreement, are suitable);
• if before this the procedure for deregistration from the previous housing was carried out (on the website of the Federal Migration Service of Russia, at the bottom of the page, form number seven), then a departure slip will do;
• consent of the homeowners, provided that a person who does not own this property is registered.

An application from home owners is drawn up with the participation of an MFS or MFC employee.
