Certificate of absence of real estate ownership - a document that is the opposite of an extract from the Unified State Register or a certificate of ownership, if a person really does not have any property. When planning to participate in some government programs related to assistance in solving housing problems, the applicant is faced with the need to obtain a certificate establishing the absence of any real estate at his disposal.
Since it is required to confirm that the property has not been previously registered, some citizens find it difficult to determine the place where they can order this document. In fact, the procedure for preparing the paper is not difficult, but it takes time to check information about the applicant.
What is a certificate?
Although a certificate is often supposed to prove that the applicant does not have property, it would be more correct to call this paper a certificate of ownership. If a person does have some real estate, it will be displayed in the contents of the document.
If a certificate or extract indicates specific owners of the property in question, then the certificate shows records of persons who own various forms of property or do not have it at all.
Previously, it was necessary to personally visit government agencies and submit a request in person. The service is now available remotely. Only the person himself has the right to apply for his certificate of absence of property, or to send his attorney, for whom a notarized power of attorney was previously issued.
A certificate of property is issued with the signature and seal of the organization certified, and the form is assigned a number and the date of preparation is recorded.
The contents of the document include information about the person in question, the address and name of the objects, their cadastral numbers and possible registration prohibitions.

In what cases is it necessary
Such a document is often required before making important decisions when it is necessary to verify the presence or absence of property. The certificate may be requested before a transaction, when applying for a loan, or for legal proceedings. Additionally, paper may be needed when transferring property as a gift, exchange or inheritance. Of particular importance is a certificate of ownership of real estate or the absence of property rights at all, for participation in government programs and preferential mortgages for the purchase of a first home.
If there is real estate, a document can prove that no transactions have taken place in the last five years, or the housing has been declared unfit for living.
Where do you get a certificate of no real estate ownership?
The traditional way is to obtain a certificate of absence of real estate, this is a personal visit with supporting documents. If physical presence is not possible, the request is sent by mail or through a legal representative (by power of attorney).

In some cases, provided for by the current legislation of the Russian Federation (for example, to receive financial assistance from the state to improve housing conditions in the form of subsidies), confirmation of the absence of any real estate objects registered with a certain person may be required, which is possible by providing a certificate containing information about the presence (absence) of ownership of real estate objects.
Obtaining information about real estate registered to the owner is possible only in relation to one’s own property or the property of the principal. Such a certificate may be officially requested by law enforcement agencies, courts and other government agencies, but only within the limits of their powers and in accordance with the current legislation of the Russian Federation. In other cases, obtaining such information regarding a specific person is prohibited by law.
In order to obtain information about the presence (absence) of property of a person, it is necessary to take into account in what time period the ownership of the property was registered for a particular person. The need for such clarification arose due to the fact that the registration of real estate on the territory of the Russian Federation was carried out by different authorities at different times.
Thus, for a long time, responsibilities for registering rights to real estate and transactions with it were assigned to the BTI throughout the country, but after the reform in this area, which occurred in the late 90s in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, registration centers began to carry out this activity. On the territory of the Tula region, the above responsibilities were assigned to the Tula Regional Registration Center (currently the Office of Rosreestr for the Tula Region).
Information on real estate objects on the territory of the Russian Federation, the rights to which were registered after this reform, is contained in the Unified State Register of Rights to Real Estate and is provided to the applicant when applying to Rosreestr. In order to obtain a certificate, a person has the right to contact directly Rosreestr, MFC or the Internet portals of State Services and Rosreestr.
Certificates about the rights available to owners of real estate in the Tula region as of September 15, 1998, due to the specifics of the formation of accounting and technical documentation in our region, are provided exclusively by the State Technical Institution “Regional BTI”.
This certificate records all existing property and contains the following information:
— information about the applicant (full name, date of birth);
- if there is no property, then this circumstance will be indicated in the certificate;
— if there are real estate objects owned by the applicant, the certificate indicates information about them: address, title documents on the basis of which the real estate was acquired, details of this transaction.
The basis for issuing a certificate to an individual is an application (its form is approved by the State Technical Institution “Regional BTI” and posted on the official website of the institution), as well as the following package of documents:
— a copy of the applicant’s identity document containing information about the owner of the document (series, number, date of issue, code of the department that issued the document);
— document(s) confirming the change in the applicant’s last name, first name, and patronymic;
— a duly executed power of attorney from the copyright holder or his legal representative to receive the relevant information (when submitting an application by a representative under a power of attorney);
— the original payment document confirming the applicant’s payment for the service of issuing the certificate.
When submitting a written request, an heir who has not entered into an inheritance must additionally submit:
— documents confirming the death of the testator;
— a notarized will or a notary’s certificate.
We remind you that if there is a need to obtain a certificate of the presence/absence of property in the Tula region, you can order this in person, directly at the institution or in any separate territorial division of the institution, on the official website (), by e-mail, as well as by post .
You can obtain detailed information on the provision of services/performing work of the institution on the specified website, as well as by phone and (ext. 76-02).
