Temporary registration: what threatens the owner and how to temporarily register a person in a privatized apartment? Legal.Standard

Find out on our website how temporary registration differs from permanent registration, whether it is possible to register temporarily without permanent registration, and what the consequences are for late registration at your place of stay.

The essence of the process

What is temporary registration in an apartment? Registration at the place of residence is the procedure for registering at the address where a person lives for a certain period.

If you come to work or study in another locality and stay there for more than three months , you must inform the FMS authorities about this.

Failure to register temporarily is considered an administrative violation and is subject to a fine .

Moreover, penalties threaten not only a person who does not live at his place of permanent registration for more than 90 days, but also the owner of the premises in which he lives.

Temporary registration is valid simultaneously with permanent registration . In this case, the stamp in the passport remains with the permanent residence address, and an additional certificate insert is issued with the residential address written on it.

Such registration in an apartment is issued for a certain period - from 6 months to 5 years and is canceled automatically after this period.

It gives a person the right to live at a given address for the period specified in the insert.

You can register in any premises intended for residence :

apartment (own, municipal, service);
private house;
hostel;
hotel;
boarding house, shelter;
sanatoriums, hospitals.

If the period of residence in a given territory is less than three months, it is not necessary to register your presence in it. To protect yourself from law enforcement agencies, you can present a travel document, sanatorium card, etc.

How to register: step-by-step instructions

The same registration rules apply throughout the Russian Federation. The procedure for registering in your locality or another city is absolutely identical. The only question that a person who has moved will have to decide is where to register. When you buy your own home, the problem is automatically removed. In other situations, care should be taken in selecting options.

If you imagine the procedure step by step, it will look like this:

The owner of the property, together with the new tenant, is sent to the territorial department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Both parties submit the documents necessary for registration.
Fill out the application form for registration.
After a set time, you will need to re-visit the department to receive a stamp.

Despite its apparent simplicity, registration has a number of nuances that should be taken into account.

What should you do first?

Before you apply for a new registration, you need to think about what to do with the old one. By law, a registrant can take two different paths:

Submit an application for deregistration at your previous place of residence. He is given a departure slip, which he must provide when registering in another city.
Go to the passport office at the place of registration without prior registration.

The second option is preferable. On the one hand, the procedure is simplified by half, because the extract is performed automatically. On the other hand, this will allow the citizen to calmly resolve all issues that arise with the move and not adhere to strict registration deadlines.

When deregistered, a person must register at another address within 7 days, otherwise he will be held administratively liable.

Where to contact?

Registration is carried out by departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You can register at the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that oversees the territory where the living space is located.

There are other ways to apply, for example through the MFC or the State Services website . You can submit an application at the MFC and pick up a stamped passport, although you will have to spend a little more time on the whole procedure. State services only allow you to simplify the application process, but personal visits are not canceled (how to register through State Services is discussed here).

What additional papers may be required?

Registration is carried out on the basis of documents submitted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The most important of them is the consent of the homeowner.

The standard package of documents may be supplemented with other forms depending on the situation:

When registering as municipal property, you must obtain the consent of all persons registered there. It is compiled in any order in writing.
When registering a child, a birth certificate is required. And in some cases it is impossible to do without the consent of the guardianship and trusteeship authorities.
When registering your spouse, you must attach a marriage certificate.

For foreign citizens, you cannot do without permission from the migration service.

Registration deadlines

Article 6 of the Law of the Russian Federation No. 5242-1 of June 25, 1993 establishes that a person is obliged to register within 7 days after deregistration. If a preliminary discharge at the place of residence was not carried out, then you should report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs within seven days after arriving in the locality.

The timing of registration at a new place of residence is described in this article.

Possible expenses

Registration on the territory of the Russian Federation is free of charge . You will not have to pay a state fee for submitting documents. But registration costs may arise if the registered person enters into a paid rental agreement with the owner of the property.

Why is it needed?

Temporary registration in an apartment is necessary for the exercise of social rights and interaction with government agencies.

A citizen can perform the following actions:

receive medical care;
register the child in an educational institution;
apply for a job;
take a loan;
apply for benefits.

Using the certificate, you can also register the purchased car. Registration of a car will also be temporary, for the duration of the document.

In a standard situation, for registration, the registrant and the owner of the property must appear in person at the territorial department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is located at the place of registration. If the living space belongs to the person who is registering, then he comes alone (is it possible to register without personal presence?).

You will need to appear at the department again after the allotted time to receive a registration stamp.

Basic legal provisions

To control the movement of citizens of the Russian Federation, registration at the place of temporary or permanent residence is mandatory

Migration legislation of the Russian Federation is the main source of migration law on the territory of our country.

It is this, represented by numerous Federal laws, that determines the migration process and the procedure for registering Russian citizens or foreigners at their new place of residence.

As for the need for registration in a new city when moving, this practice was introduced in order to control the tax and other obligations of residents of the Russian Federation.

Depending on how long a person plans to live in another city, he can apply for two types of registration:

permanent (indefinite);
temporary (up to 3 years).

It is necessary to register at a new place of residence only if a citizen wants to stay in a city outside the boundaries of permanent registration for more than 3 months. In accordance with the law, permanent registration can only be obtained if one of the following circumstances exists:

purchase or other type of acquisition of your own home;
the consent of the owner of a certain residential premises to register a specific citizen.

Risks and consequences

What are the consequences of temporary registration for the owner of an apartment? After its registration, the following unpleasant moments may arise for the owner of the living space:

Increase in payment amounts for housing and communal services. If payment is made not according to meters, but according to the number of residents, you will need to pay for everyone registered (more details in our article).
Problems with tax authorities.
Registration in the apartment of minor citizens. If a child is born to a temporarily registered person, he will be registered at the same address, and without the consent of the owner. It will be possible to discharge a child only by court, and even then only if the parents have their own housing.
Financial difficulties. All fines, summonses, and notices from credit institutions will be sent to the temporary registration address.

How can an owner avoid problems? In any case, the law will always be on the side of the owner, and temporary registration can be canceled at any time . Therefore, rumors about the dangers of this procedure are somewhat exaggerated.

Even with temporary registration, an unwanted tenant is evicted at the request of the owner of the living space. To avoid possible problems, it is better to issue it for a short period of time and extend it if necessary.

To protect yourself from the registration of minor citizens in your apartment, before registration, check for a permanent registration stamp. If it is not there, it is better not to register such a tenant in your apartment.

Features and nuances

Remember that if you are registering for a minor child, you should not take the permission of the property owner or the consent of the residents.

A minor child is automatically registered at the place of registration of his parents, regardless of whether the owner agrees to this, and he can only be discharged upon reaching the age of eighteen.

It is important to pay great attention to the execution of the application. If you are entering an apartment in which you are not the owner , in addition to your signature, the application must also contain the signature of the owner of the property. Only in this case will your application be accepted.

Termination

Temporary registration ends after the expiration of the period for which it was issued. There is no need to perform any additional actions. Simply put, the insert becomes invalid as soon as the date indicated in it as the registration period has passed.

In addition, the owner can contact the Federal Migration Service with a request to terminate the registration earlier than the specified period .

Since a temporarily registered person does not have any rights to housing, only the owner decides whether he will be registered or not.

You can lose your registration the very next day after registration if the owner of the property suddenly changes his mind. In this case, no evidence or justification is required from him .

If a person registered in a certain territory no longer needs this registration, he can write an application to the FMS office with a request to cancel it ahead of schedule.

But you don’t have to do this; you can simply move out of this address and not use the insert anymore .

Types of registration

A citizen can register at a new address temporarily or permanently. The type of registration depends on the goals pursued by the individual. For example: to move while studying, temporary registration is sufficient.

The rights for permanent and temporary registration are the same. The only difference is its validity period. Temporary registration is limited, its maximum validity is three years. When registering permanently, a stamp is affixed to the passport. Temporary registration requires a certificate.

From a legal point of view, there is no difference between types of registration. In practice, there are quite often situations where people with temporary registration have difficulty accessing high-paying jobs or bank loans.

Re-registration at the initiative of the owner

Is it possible for the owner to re-register someone registered temporarily? As already noted, the owner of the apartment can revoke the temporary registration of a citizen at any time . Can I register a face myself?

You can register at any address only by personal application. The owner cannot independently register another person, even by personal application.

The action can only be performed on the basis of a notarized power of attorney.

Timing and cost

the one-week period established by Law No. 5242-1 of June 25, 1993 , but it all depends on how complete information you provided about yourself and how much additional information employees need to obtain at their previous place of registration.

The registration procedure is completely free and does not require payment of state duty. The only material aspect is a fine , which is imposed if you missed the ninety-day deadline for registration at your place of residence.

What additional papers may be required?

When registering at a new place of residence, migration service employees have the right, if necessary, to request additional documents. Such documents include:

public utilities;
taxation, for example, transport tax;

How to apply for temporary registration in an apartment step by step

Step one. Collection of documents

Collect documents from the list. At a minimum, you will need a passport of the tenant and owner of the apartment, documents on housing ownership. As a maximum, first conclude a sublease agreement with the administration/department. There is no need to fill out consent and application in advance; this is done at the reception of documents.

Step two. Submitting documents for registration

The most convenient and fastest way is to submit documents electronically through State Services. Those who have a verified account can take advantage of the opportunity.

Documents are submitted in the form of scans or their details are indicated for verification. The application goes directly to the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Step three. Obtaining a certificate of temporary registration

After the established period – 3 working days – a ready certificate of temporary registration is issued. The period may increase if you submit an application through the MFC or by mail.
