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.

Procedure
Is it possible to register a person temporarily? You can register an apartment only with the consent of its owner . At his own request, he can register any person in the living space: both a relative and a complete stranger.
This may also be a citizen renting an apartment under a rental agreement. The number of persons registered in their own real estate is not limited. How to temporarily register a person in a privatized apartment?
To register, you only need the consent of the owner or all owners if the apartment is divided into shares . The consent of other persons registered in the living space is not required.
The owner may not be present when submitting documents, having issued a notarized consent or power of attorney to any person.
Additional documents for submitting an application by mail
Sending documents by mail to institutions responsible for receiving and transmitting documents to the registration authority requires a preliminary visit to a notary to certify almost all documents. Then, instead of the originals, you can attach copies.
In particular:
- A copy of the applicant's passport;
- A certified copy of the rental or rental agreement.
When sending a certified application and the rest of the package of papers, the delivery time of the letter by the postal service is added to the time of consideration of the application and registration of registration. However, this can be a good alternative if there is no time or opportunity to personally visit a government agency.
Temporary registration of owner
Situations often arise that require temporary registration in your own apartment if you have permanent registration at another address.
You can also temporarily register in an apartment when it is sold .
In this case, the person is checked out of the apartment to complete the transaction and at the same time receives a certificate of temporary registration.

Filling out an application form for temporary registration

To submit an application on the State Services portal, you need to:
- Select the type of applicant and the method of submitting the application: independently or through an official representative.
- The applicant’s personal data and gender are entered into the fields automatically by the system.
- Enter the user's passport details.
- Provide permanent registration information. The registration address is entered into the fields automatically by the system. The user must enter the registration date.

- Enter information about the living space, and also indicate who the recipient of the service is to the owner of the living space. If the owner and the applicant are not related, you need to select the “Other” option and specify the clarifying data in the additional field.
Next, it is important to figure out what to write in the “Basis for temporary residence” section in the application for State Services. It indicates on what rights the applicant uses the property and the type of document establishing these rights.

Do I need the owner's permission?
If the property intended for temporary residence is not the property of the applicant, the migration service will need to present a statement from the person who provided the citizen with housing. The document must be notarized.
The application of the person who provided the residential premises through the State Services must contain the consent of the owner to the temporary residence of the tenant in the specified residential premises.
Cost of services
One of the main questions that citizens have when moving to another region of residence is the question of how much temporary registration costs. According to current legislation, the state fee for temporary registration at the place of stay is not charged.
Sometimes citizens use the help of real estate agencies. In this case, payment depends on the cost of services of each specific organization.
Some apartment owners may charge a fee for temporary registration. As a rule, its size depends on the following factors:
- conditions of the homeowner;
- the amount by which utility bills increased due to an increase in the number of residents;
- the cost of services of an intermediary firm.
All conditions of the property owner should be specified in the contract.
Attention! The cost of temporary registration depends on the city, area of residential space and length of stay.
Checking your registration through the State Services website
The procedure for obtaining temporary registration is time-consuming and involves many nuances, which is why citizens often use the services of intermediary companies. To be sure of the legitimacy of the certificate received, it is recommended to check its authenticity. The fastest way to do this is online by submitting a corresponding request to the migration service on the State Services portal.
This information is provided only to the migrant himself or his guardian. For security reasons, it is not recommended to provide access to your personal data to third parties and intermediaries.
For what period is temporary registration provided?
Temporary registration in Moscow and other regions of Russia for citizens of the Russian Federation is issued for no more than 5 years. For foreigners, this period is limited to the period of validity of their visa or migration card.
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.
Fines for violation of migration registration
An attempt to violate the rules of migration registration threatens with administrative liability, as does an untimely extension of temporary registration. If the police have revealed that a citizen is living in a residential building without continuous or temporary registration, the violator will have to pay a fine. The owner of the living space where unregistered citizens live is also subject to administrative liability.
The amount depends on the location:
- From 3000 to 5000 rub. from the tenant: Moscow and St. Petersburg;
- From 2000 to 3000 rub. from the tenant: other regions of the Russian Federation;
- From 5000 to 7000 rub. from the owner: Moscow and St. Petersburg;
- From 3000 to 5000 rub. from the owner: other regions of the Russian Federation;
- From 300 to 800 thousand rubles, if the owner of the apartment is a legal entity: Moscow and St. Petersburg;
- From 50 to 750 thousand rubles, if the owner of the property is a legal entity: other regions of the Russian Federation.
When registering a fictitious registration (if the tenant officially lives in one place but is registered at a different address), the owner of the living space will have to pay a fine of 5,000 rubles.
Persons who live in a foreign city without temporary registration face a number of problems. They have to go to their hometown to complete any paperwork. In addition, failure to comply with the temporary registration requirement will result in the payment of monetary fines. Therefore, a Russian must obtain a certificate if he plans to live in a new place for more than three months.
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 .
Necessity
Do you need registration in another city?
The question of whether registration is needed in another place can be answered in two ways.
On the one hand, if you come for a short period of time as a business traveler, for treatment or an excursion , it makes no sense to apply for a residence permit.
But if the period of your stay outside the place of registration exceeds ninety days , then you need to think about officially registering your stay; this procedure is established by Federal Law No. 5242-1 of June 25, 1993 in Article 5.
If you intend to fully use your place of residence, then you should not delay this procedure for long.
Missing the ninety-day deadline threatens those who are late with registration with a fine of one thousand rubles.
How to register? What is needed for this?
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.
What documents are required?
It is necessary to present originals and photocopies of the following documents:
- passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
- military ID for men;
- ownership documents;
- owner's permission to register;
- consent of other registrants to your registration;
- leaflet - departure;
- a document confirming your basis for changing your registration (marriage certificate, certificate of employment, written application);
- application in the prescribed form.
However, check the department's document requirements in advance. It is quite possible that some requirements may change over time, something is included, something is removed.
After submitting your documents, you will receive a special certificate .
It contains the date of submission, the documents themselves are listed, the signature of the employee and your data are indicated. The certificate must be kept until your next visit to the authority in order to receive the papers in your hands.
Where to start
To obtain temporary registration, you need to contact the local migration department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia (formerly the FMS). It can be done:
- through the passport office through the management company, homeowners' association, housing department, etc.
- through MFC departments;
- in rare cases, directly to the migration department in person (or through a representative with a notarized power of attorney);
- on the State Services website;
- by mail.
Completion of this procedure is confirmed by the issuance of a certificate, which is valid for the period of registration.
It is better to take care of receiving it in advance and always before the expiration of the allotted 90 days, since it is not issued in one day. The authorities are given a period of 3 days to issue it, but it is often “extended” due to the large volume of applications submitted.
Example No. 1 . Kozlov B. did not intend to stay in Moscow for more than 90 days: when planning his stay, he set aside 88 days to resolve all matters, and on the 89th he wanted to return home. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, he had to stay another week. On the 90th day, he submitted an application and documents for temporary registration through the government service website, expecting to receive it in 3 days. The next day, he went to the station to buy a ticket, but there the patrol checked his documents and discovered that he was not registered, despite the fact that it was already the 91st day of his stay in the capital. Law enforcement officers did not respond to all the explanations that he was in line to receive it and would be leaving soon. Kozlov was fined 3,000 rubles.
The receipt procedure begins from the moment a person submits an application along with the necessary documents.
