Who prepares and certifies documents?

The following documents are submitted to the government agency along with the application:

• passports of the applicant and the owner of the property;
• confirmation of the right to the premises (certificate of ownership);
• arrival sheet (filled out at the same office of the Federal Migration Service or at the place of residence in the municipality).

The applicant’s form is certified by the seal and signature of the official performing the functions of the registering officer at the Federal Migration Service or the MFC.

The following have the right to prepare documents for temporary registration:

1. citizens over 18 years of age;
2. mother, father or guardian of a minor citizen;
3. proxy (officially confirmed by a notarized power of attorney).

When submitting an application, the presence of the owner of the residential premises is required , otherwise registration is impossible. If the house or apartment is in shared ownership (several owners of the same living space), then the consent of all owners will be required.

In some cases, registration is carried out with the written consent of the owner and a notarized power of attorney.

When and who needs it

Citizens can be registered at their place of residence in both municipal and privatized housing. If the applicant himself is the owner of the apartment (other premises), he does not need to obtain permission to move in.

If a person does not have ownership rights to the housing, he will first have to obtain the consent of the owner. If we are talking about registration in a municipal apartment, then in addition to the permission of the landlord, it is also required that there are no objections in this regard from members of the tenant’s family.

Features of the procedure

Registration at the place of stay is carried out quite quickly, using a small number of documents. But there are distinctive features and nuances in this procedure:

• data on temporary residence are not entered in the citizen’s passport, only a certificate is issued;
• during the period of validity of registration at the place of stay, the permanent place of registration is not lost;
• The migration service authority can refuse the applicant only if there are significant errors in the application (possibly corrected) and the required documents are missing;
• After submitting the application, the FMS authorities must issue a certificate of temporary registration within 3-8 working days.

Form No. 6 of the application for registration - what is it?

A special form has been approved for registration of citizens in residential premises. It is an annex to the Regulations of the Migration Service for the implementation of registration. Please note that the form is also used in case of deportation from the previous place of residence.

This document is called Form 6, and consists of two parts. The first is filled in when it is necessary to register, and the second in case of deregistration. This form is used specifically for accounting when citizens change their place of residence.

Where to go when submitting a notification for registration?

There are three options for submitting documents to register a foreign citizen. Let's look at each:

• You can contact the Migration Office in person; the procedure is absolutely free. Most of these institutions in Russia are open daily; there are reception hours for both legal entities and individuals. You can make an appointment by phone on a specific day, which is by appointment. But there is one unpleasant moment - the queues, especially on reception days for individuals.
• You can sign up in advance for a specific day and time at the Multifunctional Center (MFC) on the website or on the state website. services. You submit your documents on the appointed day, absolutely free of charge and without tiring queues.
• You can send a notification by mail. Russian Post sends them by post with a declared value and an inventory of the contents to the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (MVD of the Russian Federation). This postal item is a registered letter, therefore it is sent for a fee; today such a service is estimated at 170 rubles.

In general, you can send a notification to any of the listed methods; there is not much difference in the procedure for processing documents; the only negative is this is a paid service provided by Russian Post. All institutions accept notifications equally in one window or office. The appointment lasts a maximum of 20 minutes, a tear-off coupon is issued immediately.

In fact, there is nothing complicated, the main thing is to enter all the data without errors or corrections, filling out the notification, carefully and slowly. I advise you to transfer the file to a memory card or take a couple of copies of blank forms with you. If you still do not receive a notification about the fact of the errors found, you can use a flash card or fill it out again manually and correct all the errors.

And in conclusion, I would like to add, register on time, meet deadlines and avoid illegal activities!

Validity

When filling out the document, its validity period is indicated. A citizen can obtain temporary registration for a period of 3 months to 5 years. For a foreigner, temporary registration is valid for no more than a year.

Ask a Question

The period is set depending on the personal agreement between the citizen and the owner of the place in which he will temporarily reside. It all depends on how long the owner is willing to provide his home for the use of another person.

The use of an expired certificate is equivalent to its absence and is punishable by a fine. After the expiration of the period, the citizen is obliged to contact the FMS again and obtain a new certificate. To avoid problems, this must be done immediately.

Important! You must take care of obtaining or extending your temporary registration in advance, as the procedure will take at least 3 days.

Who is eligible to apply?

Only the person registering can fill out and then submit the document

Things are more complicated if you are registering in an apartment that you are not the owner of, then the owner of the apartment must also sign your application .

His presence at the passport office is not mandatory, because you provide the consent of the owner of the residential premises, certified by a notary , to register you in his apartment.

Can they refuse?

Most citizens receive a registration certificate without any problems - it is in the interests of the department to facilitate its registration, and not to hinder it. However, there are several reasons why a certificate may be refused.

Among them are the following:

• the applicant did not provide all documents;
• any of the documents turned out to be invalid;
• the application was filled out incorrectly;
• the premises are not intended for living;
• the premises were seized.

These are common reasons why applications are denied. If all the shortcomings are eliminated, you can repeat the procedure and obtain registration without any problems.

What is it for?

As a rule, the following citizens need temporary registration:

• Foreigners;
• stateless people;
• citizens of the Russian Federation who moved to another region for a long time.

This document allows a person to live in a particular region legally and on an equal basis with its permanent residents. Also, having a certificate opens up a lot of familiar opportunities for a citizen.

For example, an individual receives the right:

• use the services of clinics and inpatient medical institutions;
• place children in kindergarten or school;
• prepare the necessary documents;
• receive social payments and enjoy benefits;
• quickly obtain bank approval for a loan;
• apply for a job.

If the above points are not important to a person, this does not mean that he can neglect the registration of temporary registration. If a citizen lives in a place of temporary stay for more than 90 days and has not bothered to obtain a certificate in Form 3, he may be subject to administrative liability, which involves a fine of 1,500 to 2,500 rubles.

An employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has the right to check the presence of a certificate and, if it is not there, draw up a protocol.

Features of temporary registration of a minor

A child who arrived with his parents must also be covered by accounting measures.

Since the legal representatives of a child until he reaches the age of 14 are his parents (Article 64 of the RF IC), they are the ones who are required to register the child at his residence address.

For a child, the application form is the same as for an adult - No. 1. It must be filled out by the parent with whom the offspring lives , and if the whole family lives together, then it does not matter which parent.

In the “Legal Representative” column, you need to enter who exactly has a hand in the form - father, mother or guardianship, adoptive parent, as well as full name and passport details.

The parent puts his signature on the form, and it is its authenticity that is certified by the registration authority employee.

Since form No. 1 is written on behalf of the child, his full name will appear on the registration certificate .
