Where can I get a certificate of residence? Step-by-step procedure for preparing documents and receiving them.

When contacting various government agencies, it is sometimes necessary to provide reliable information about a person’s location. Certificate of residence is a document confirming the citizen’s residence at a specific address at the moment, or certifying the fact of registration in this place some time ago. You can apply for a certificate in several ways, including by mail. In this article we will tell you how and where to obtain a certificate of residence in 2021 and in what cases it may be needed.

○ Types of registration.

In order to ensure the necessary conditions for a citizen of the Russian Federation to exercise his rights and freedoms, as well as to fulfill his duties to other citizens, the state and society, registration of citizens of the Russian Federation at the place of stay and at the place of residence within the Russian Federation is introduced (Article 3 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On the right of citizens of the Russian Federation...” dated June 25, 1993 No. 5242-1).

✔ At your place of residence.

Many people believe that registration at the place of residence is the same as registration. In fact, there is a significant difference between these concepts. Registration in Soviet times involved obtaining a residence permit from authorized bodies. Without it, it was impossible to get an official job, an apartment or other material benefits. After the introduction of Law 5242-1, registration was replaced by registration at the place of residence, which means the citizen’s obligation to notify the state and authorized bodies about the place he has chosen for permanent residence. In this case, permission from the authorities is not needed, which is the fundamental difference between accounting and registration. The only obstacle for the latter can be the disagreement of the apartment owner to register this citizen in his living space.

✔ At your place of residence.

It is the duty of the citizen to notify the authorized bodies of his place of residence if the period of residence at this address exceeds 3 months. However, he is not deregistered at his place of permanent residence. The requirement for temporary registration does not apply if the temporary residence address is located in the same subject of the Russian Federation as the permanent residence address.

Where can I get it?

Previously, before the changes were introduced, all extracts were ordered from passport officers at the place of registration or temporary residence.
Now the procedure has become more complicated and extracts are provided by different authorities, depending on the circumstances. Extracts from the place of registration are provided:

1. In multifunctional centers and their branches.
2. State Migration Service.
3. In the passport office departments.
4. One stop service.
5. Management and service organizations.
6. At passport and visitor centers.

On a note! In addition to independently contacting these structures, a citizen can order an extract through the official website of government services.

Step-by-step instruction

Regardless of the authority where a citizen will apply for an extract, he should adhere to a simple scheme. What to do:

1. Prepare the installed documentation package.
2. Submit an application for an extract from your place of residence.
3. Send your request to one of the specified authorities.
4. Get a completed certificate.

Submission through government services

As already mentioned, you can also apply for the certificate of interest through government services. What to do:

1. Register on the official website and activate your account.
2. In your personal account, enter the name of the required certificate in the search bar.

   
   Enter the name in the search bar and fill in the fields

3. Select the “Get service” function.
4. The form that appears is filled out according to the instructions described.
5. A convenient place is selected to receive the finished statement.
6. An application is being sent.

After completing the work, the citizen only has to wait until information is received that the extract is ready.

Passport office of management company, homeowners association

The extract can be obtained by a citizen through the passport office or service company.
These structures have all the necessary information on the area of ​​living space, as well as the number of registered persons. To receive a document, a citizen must come to the organization with a passport and an application. Representatives of the management company may refuse to issue a document if the owner has rent arrears.

Multifunctional Center

The structure of the MFC itself was originally created to relieve the workload of government agencies, such as the migration service. Therefore, certificates are also issued there. A citizen must contact the MFC branch convenient for him, with the specified documents and submit them for registration. After some time, you will be able to receive the certificate.

Address Bureau

You can also make an official request to the address bureau. To do this, the citizen will also need to draw up a corresponding application and attach documents. It is possible to send a request by mail, but in this case the attached copies of the documentation must be certified.

Administration

The local government body is also authorized to provide the necessary information, including certificates about the number of living family members and the actual registration address. The application and documents are submitted through the reception.

Department for Migration Issues of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation

An application to the emigration department for the provision of information is submitted through government services or on a first-come, first-served basis at reception hours. The citizen will need the established package of documentation, an application and personal presence.

○ Is it possible to refuse to issue a certificate?

The legislator has not provided any grounds for refusing to provide this document. But in practice, there are still cases when authorized bodies refuse to issue a certificate of residence. As a rule, they motivate this by the presence of debts to pay for utility services, which is unlawful. In such a situation, write a formal complaint against the refusing employee addressed to higher management. Usually this is enough to resolve the issue. You may also be refused if you have submitted an incomplete package of documents. Here you just need to convey what is missing and the situation will be resolved.

A similar form of extract is required to confirm the actual place of residence of the citizen. It is required in different life situations, when applying to government or municipal structures.

Statute of limitations and cost

Although the law does not establish a statute of limitations for this document, in practice it is no more than 1 month, since even during this period changes in the composition of residents may occur - someone will be discharged, and someone will be registered at this address .

Service for issuing f. No. 9 refers to free ones . For a fee, missing photocopies of original documents can be made, or an application can be filled out when a citizen has poor vision, is illiterate or does not speak Russian well enough. If nothing additional is needed (everything that is required will be available), then the certificate will be free of charge .

Extract through court

In some cases, the property owner has to force the tenant out, which, according to Article 35 of the Housing Code in paragraph 1, can only be done through the court. It does not matter the status of the property - municipal or private property. In this regard, if a tenant refuses to leave the apartment, tenants or owners must file a claim in court.

Despite the fact that the status of housing does not affect the way the conflict situation is resolved, the procedure for going to court and forced deportation will differ for privatized and municipal housing.

Extract from a municipal apartment

If you want to deregister a citizen from municipally owned housing, you should take into account that the conditions for deregistration are the same for everyone, regardless of the degree of relationship, marriage and other factors. Among the main conditions that make forced discharge possible, it is advisable to note the following:

• a citizen has not paid utility bills for a long time;
• the citizen does not live in the apartment where he is registered for a long period of time;
• the citizen decided to leave of his own free will.

At the same time, it is extremely important to consider the potential chances of success in court. The legislation does not regulate the period during which a citizen must not live in an apartment in order to be discharged. In this regard, it is advisable to follow the established practice, according to which he must be absent from the living space for at least one year.

Statement of claim for recognition of the loss of the right to use municipal housing

The status of departure is also of great importance - permanent or temporary. Only the permanent absence of a citizen or his residence in another place with a new family gives the right to forced deportation.

Business trips, treatment, studies and other temporary moves are not considered a valid reason for discharge.

The former tenant who is planned to be discharged must leave the living space voluntarily, and not under the influence of conflicts and quarrels. In addition, he should not encounter resistance if he wants to return to the apartment, and also should not pay for utilities.

To achieve the goal you will need to adhere to the following algorithm of actions:

1. Collect evidence, invite witnesses.
2. File a claim.
3. Submit a claim for consideration in court.
4. Appear at the hearing and wait for the court's decision.

Court decision on eviction from municipal housing

After the judicial authorities have made a decision on the forced discharge of a tenant, it is advisable for the tenant or owner to obtain a copy of it from the office. Then it is taken to the GUVM department, where the citizen is deregistered within three days.

Extract from a privatized apartment

If you want to expel someone from a privatized apartment, it is of great importance whether the apartment was received by the owner during privatization or as a result of another operation, for example, a donation.

In the first case, it is extremely important to take into account that persons who refused to participate in privatization have the right to indefinite use of living space.

According to the law, a family member is any person living in the owner’s living space, and not just related persons.

Sample statement of claim for eviction from a privatized apartment

To discharge him, you will need to cancel his status as a family member by presenting a number of evidence:

1. They do not conduct common farming with the owners.
2. Maintain a separate budget.
3. Persons do not provide each other with any help or support, including material.
4. Presence of conflicts in the family.

The procedure for discharge and trial is similar to the case when it is planned to discharge a citizen from a municipal apartment. The difference is that the success rate for evictions is significantly higher if the plaintiff is the owner of the property. In this case, it must be proven that the evicted person is not a family member.

It should be remembered that owners, including those with shares, are not subject to eviction under any circumstances. If an apartment was received during privatization, it will be extremely difficult to evict those registered persons who refused to participate in privatization.

If the defendant does not comply with the court decision voluntarily, then bailiffs will help with the eviction

Who will they give it to?

Not everyone has the right to access data, but only those who:

• the owner, and it makes no difference whether he is registered or not;
• responsible tenant or other person registered at this address;
• legal representative of the child registered in this living space (one of the parents, adoptive parent, guardian).

If a person applies with a notarized power of attorney on behalf of any of the above citizens, then there will be no refusal to issue the paper.

It happens that such paper is prepared at the request of the court, prosecutor's office, Pension Fund or other government body.

What does the certificate and sample look like?

The certificate contains a specific list of information:

• name of the document and its form;
• Full name of the applicant indicating his registered address;
• surname and initials of persons registered with the applicant, degree of relationship (related to the applicant), date of birth;
• name of the organization that requested this certificate;
• details of the employee who issued the certificate;
• date of document generation and stamp.

If necessary, additional information may be included in the certificate. For example, information about the number of square meters of residential premises or about previously registered but deregistered persons.

The document is drawn up in Form 9 and is valid for 6 months. But many organizations require that the certificate be issued no more than 2-3 weeks ago. This point should be taken into account, since benefits and subsidies cannot be issued with an expired certificate.

This is what the certificate looks like

A different type of document is possible, the main thing is that it contains all the necessary information.

Definition of the concept

According to FMS Order No. 288, a form has been approved that must be attached to the passport. It is issued for a certain period, which is determined by the owner’s permission and the duration of stay in the region. Many people are interested in Form 3 – what is it? This document is official and allows you to live at a specific address and freely stay in the territory of the locality. She has a personal number, which is entered into the database of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

A registration certificate in form 9 is a document that contains information about citizens who have the right to reside within a certain property. If you need to indicate all previously registered persons, you will have to obtain an archival document.

If you just need to check out

It is not always possible for a citizen to have the opportunity or desire to apply for a new registration. In a number of situations, you may simply need to check out of your old home without registering in a new one (for example, when selling property).

To successfully check out, in such a situation, it is enough to follow a simple algorithm of actions:

1. Visit the passport office and fill out an application form No. 6. It is required when deregistering, but you will need to fill out the field about your new place of residence. You can specify any address, even if you do not plan to use it.
2. Provide the passport office specialist with your passport and wait for discharge.
3. Receive a completed document with a new stamp, as well as a departure slip.

Such a sheet should not be lost, as it will be required for subsequent registration. The validity period of such a document is 30 days.

Two sides of the departure address sheet

For those liable for military service, the procedure is somewhat more complicated, since you will need to detach from one military commissariat and attach to another.

How to fill out

A sample application for a certificate in Form 9 can be downloaded here.

It is mandatory to provide the following information:

• last name, first name and patronymic of the applicant;
• date, month and year of birth;
• date of registration, as well as its type - temporary or permanent;
• street, house and apartment number where the citizen submitting the application is registered;
• Full name of the remaining residents registered in the same living space;
• the grounds on which they are registered there;
• data about the premises: square footage, number of rooms.

At the bottom of the application, put the current date, your signature and the signature of the specialist accepting the document.

Per child

If you have children of preschool age, before the start of the school year you will need a certificate of registration of the child, which will be required by the Department of Education. This is necessary so that every schoolchild is provided with a place in a general education institution at the place of registration and at the beginning of the year the child has a guaranteed place in a school institution. The request for a certificate must be made by the child’s parents.

Required documents to obtain a certificate

Since various institutions themselves determine what specific official documents they need, the applicant should decide in advance where exactly he will apply with this request:

• Only the passport is presented at the passport office;
• The MFC requires an extract from the house register and birth certificates of children.

The management company also requires only the applicant’s passport, since this organization already has all the other information.

Content

This document has a standard form containing the following data:

• Full name and date of birth of the citizen to whom it is issued;
• type of registration, date;
• full address;
• a list of all persons living with the recipient of the certificate, their type of registration, its date, as well as the degree of relationship;
• name and number, date of issue of documents that are the basis for moving in;
• detailed characteristics of the apartment;
• notes that describe additional occupant information and reservation availability.

Next, you should indicate where the certificate is required.

Below is the date of issue, position, signature and person who issued the document, as well as the seal.

Form 7 - accompanying document

Often, when applying for a certificate of family composition, people take an extract in Form 7, which describes the technical characteristics of the housing:

• floor and number of storeys of the building;
• footage of the room;
• number of rooms;
• ceiling height;
• year of last major overhaul;
• date of construction;
• building wall material, etc.

Form 7 is provided free of charge upon request of the applicant and is issued within 2 days. The certificate is valid for up to 1 month from the date of receipt.
