Temporary registration in Moscow for citizens of the Russian Federation in 2021 is needed if they intend to stay in the capital for a long period exceeding 90 days. Even if a citizen has a permanent residence permit in another city, but he has a desire to stay in the capital for a long time, such registration is necessary.
This is what registration at the place of stay in Moscow looks like
Why registration is needed
In Russia, registration or official registration at the place of residence is mandatory for citizens of the Russian Federation. This norm is established by law (Article 27 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, Law No. 5452-1 and Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 713). Lack of temporary registration of citizens is punishable administratively.
But the citizens themselves, arriving in Moscow for the purpose of work or study, are interested in registering their legal stay in the city, because in this way the following rights of people who come to the capital are ensured:
- in the event that there is a need to go to a hospital at your place of residence in Moscow (for example, you need a bulletin due to some temporary health problems), registration will be required to receive free medical care;
- placement of a child in a kindergarten or school in the capital is possible only with temporary registration;
Temporary registration is required to enroll a child in kindergarten.
- when taking driving exams, you must also be legally within Moscow and the region;
- Without such a document, it will be difficult to find a job in the capital, since not every manager will decide to hire a person without registration in Moscow, realizing that he may face serious fines, including deprivation of his license;
- it is impossible to get bank loans without such a stamp in your passport;
- An important factor is the attitude of law enforcement agencies towards those who, during a long stay in the city, have not formalized their status in any way; as a rule, this is a reason for arrest and then collection of a fine from the culprit;
- if there is registration, then you can receive social benefits that are available in the capital for low-income people;
- Get free help on various issues of current life:
- receive benefits on utility bills.
A note on temporary registration in the passport is required
From the above it is clear that the question of whether registration is needed for those who came to the city for a long time for the purpose of work, study and other things disappears by itself, since such a mark in the passport is required.
How can a student apply for temporary registration?
Temporary registration of a student in a dormitory
If you live in a dormitory, you need to contact an authorized official of the educational institution. This specially trained person should tell you what documents are needed and where to bring them.
If you are a full-time student and have been allocated a place in a dormitory, the educational institution is obliged to provide you with registration. The situation is different if you live in a dorm room under a contract.
Documents you will need:
- Passport.
- Medical insurance.
- Certificate from a doctor using standard form 086/у.
- Three photo cards measuring 3x4.
- Military ID (for guys).
- Application with a request to temporarily register you at the hostel address.
- Arrival sheet (issued at the passport office).
- Permission to live in a hostel.
The issue of registration must be dealt with immediately after check-in. Otherwise, as you already remember, a fine comparable to the size of the average scholarship in the country begins to loom over your head.
How to obtain temporary registration for a student without a dormitory
If you rent an apartment/room, you will have to do the registration yourself. And then the “dancing with a tambourine” begins. You can apply for temporary registration with relatives, friends or the owner of a rented apartment. The main thing is that everyone who is registered in this apartment agrees that you will be temporarily registered there.
By law, the landlord is responsible for the timely registration of tenants in the rental area.
To obtain registration, you will need to come to the passport office at your place of temporary residence with a set of necessary documents. The registration receipt date will be set by the passport officer.
Temporary registration of a student at the place of study is a purely bureaucratic procedure that is unlikely to bring anyone the joy of learning. However, visiting students need to resolve this issue.

What sanctions will follow if there is no registration?
For violating the passport regime while living in another city, the culprit faces fines, the cost of which is as follows:
- a citizen who fails to register his/her location within three months will officially have to pay a fine of 3 thousand rubles;
- for Moscow, the same violation is punishable by 5 thousand rubles;
- An owner who rents out an apartment to a citizen of the Russian Federation without obtaining a temporary residence permit faces a monetary penalty of up to 5 thousand rubles in the regions, and up to 7 thousand rubles in Moscow.
So it’s better to arrange everything according to the law, live, study, and work in peace. And for the owners not to have any problems with the law, so as not to pay extra money out of their own pockets for violations.
When is the owner's permission for registration required?
A citizen does not have the right to register in a living space without the permission of the owner. The law allows the owner to register at his address not only relatives and friends, but even strangers and foreigners. If there are more than one homeowners, consent to registration is required from everyone.
The exception is registration of minors. A child does not need permission from the owner to live with his parents. The rule of observing the number of living meters per person per child also does not apply.
As for a newborn whose parents do not live together, the mother’s consent to registration is required.
In which residential premises can I register?
Registration is only possible in residential premises. At the same time, the house should not be designated for demolition, that is, recognized as dilapidated.
The easiest option is to register with relatives, since obtaining registration in Moscow in this case will not be difficult. Because the consent of relatives and their participation in registration will significantly reduce problems for those who come to the capital. However, despite the fact that Moscow is a metropolis, not everyone has relatives living there, so we have to resort to other forms:
- renting housing from the owners;
- from legal entities that can provide residential premises, for example, to specialists who come specifically to work in a company or firm;
- housing cooperatives, if its members agree to this.
Temporary registration in all of these options can be obtained, but the most difficult is an agreement with homeowners. It is also the most common for those who have Russian citizenship.
No room specified
Whether or not to indicate the room number on the dormitory registration certificate is a controversial issue; in practice, both options occur.
Important! If the hostel is municipal, numbering is not provided, but if a child is being registered, this nuance is required. In this case, you will need to provide a rental agreement.
There is definitely no dispute or problem in only one case: if the room has an owner, although the number may also be missing. Temporary registration is no exception - the number on the certificate is not mandatory.
Registration with homeowners in Moscow
The majority of Russian citizens for whom Moscow is becoming not a subject of tourist interest, but a place where they have a permanent, well-paid job, renting housing is the only option for living in the capital.
Certificate of ownership of real estate
Unfortunately, not all owners are interested in going through the official registration process. For the simple reason that then they will have to pay taxes, which reduces their interest in renting out housing.
Registration of housing with the owner in Moscow
Temporary registration can only be done by the direct owner of this housing, who, with the help of appropriate documents, is able to prove his right to a specific living space, namely:
- certificate of ownership;
- a statement that the owner is not against temporarily registering the tenant;
- written consent of those already registered in this premises.
A sample consent from the owner for move-in and registration at the place of stay can be downloaded here.
It should also be taken into account that the owner himself must be present in person during registration. A rental agreement without personal presence will not play any role. It should be taken into account that the cost of obtaining registration will be different.
Legislative basis
The legislation of the Russian Federation obliges every citizen to indicate his place of residence within the country.
Federal Law No. 5242-1 of June 25, 1993 “On the right of citizens of the Russian Federation to freedom of movement, choice of place of stay and residence within the Russian Federation” contains a clearly formulated rule according to which everyone is required to have permanent or temporary registration.
Responsibility for evading it is provided for in Article 19.15.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The registration procedure is also prescribed by the legislator in Government Decree No. 713 dated July 17, 1995.
Prices for citizens of the Russian Federation when registering in Moscow
The cost varies depending on the registration period:
- if it is 6 months, then 10 thousand rubles;
- for a year already 14 thousand rubles;
- for two years – 15 thousand rubles;
- Well, for five years - 25 thousand rubles.
As you can see, the longer the term, the lower the price in general terms. Therefore, it is better to register immediately at the maximum rate and no longer worry about Moscow registration.
You can find out how it is not recommended to register by watching this video.
You should also know that the cost of official permanent registration in Moscow is 25 thousand rubles, and in the Moscow region 30 thousand rubles . It is also important that if you have to obtain a driver’s license in the Moscow region, then temporary registration in Moscow will not be useful; registration in the Moscow region is what is needed.
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.
Where to apply for registration in Moscow
The rules of temporary registration are mandatory for everyone, even if you are a citizen of the Russian Federation, they necessarily apply to you. But the question immediately arises about which authorities are processing all these necessary documents indicating the legality of stay in the city of Moscow or the region. Among the bodies that are responsible for this important area of state activity, registration is carried out by:
- territorial departments of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow and the region;
- The MFC is a very convenient body for helping citizens on various issues, which appeared several years ago; it collects documents and therefore simplifies the procedure for obtaining the necessary papers, especially since reception is carried out by appointment.

Having collected the necessary documents, you can complete the registration quite quickly, if there are no external obstacles that could stop the authorities in their desire to record a person’s life in the Moscow region.
For the period of study
Every year, many school graduates leave their home and go to study in other cities. When moving into a dormitory, a specialist appointed by the head issues a temporary registration for each of them. It is valid for the period of study and is mandatory.
If this obligation is evaded, the administration of the educational institution receives a fine. Every student living in a dormitory is required to have a residence permit.
Typically the procedure is as follows:
- students have an indirect relationship directly to the preparation of documents;
- on the appointed day, the management gathers new residents, the latter write applications and hand over their passports;
- during the absence of the main document, a temporary identity card is issued;
- registration takes place within 7 – 10 days.
Registration procedure in Moscow
So, having found out where and to which bodies citizens submit the collected documents, it is necessary to understand exactly what order the state executive authorities adhere to when they accept documents.
At the same time, we must remember that in order to register our permanent-temporary relations with the capital of our homeland, we must appear in person at the GUVM offices. For it is these bodies that carefully monitor all our movements and desires to register in one or another region of the Russian Federation. But even in this case, the capital stands out, and the registration system in it may differ from the generally accepted one. To register you need:
- submit a personal application addressed to the head of the registering organization, which must be signed by the applicant. The application for registration at the place of residence can be downloaded on our website;
Application for registration at the place of residence
- submit an agreement justifying the person’s stay in the residential space he occupies, which is subject to registration, i.e. the owner agrees to the client’s legal residence and issues him such a paper to legitimize his presence in the presented apartment;
- the passport of the person being registered or another document that can confirm that the one who received registration in this area is really himself and no one else, the main document, in this case, is a passport;
- in the application itself, the owner of the property must indicate that he agrees to the temporary occupancy of this tenant and has nothing against this, i.e. he has no complaints now, and they will not arise later. This is recorded in the document.
If registration will be carried out with a minor child, he will need to fill out an application for registration at the place of stay with minor children.
If all the documents are collected and the formalities are met, then, as a rule, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reviews them all within three days. If no negative aspects are detected that may prevent registration, the period is increased to eight days.

When preparing documents, it is worth remembering that it is best to submit documents to the MFC, which are now available in any regional city. There they will quickly examine them, tell you what additional papers are needed, and be sure to issue a coupon for the next appointment. All this greatly simplifies obtaining a residence permit in Moscow.
It is also worth remembering that if there are any misunderstandings, or the regulatory authorities do not understand some details of the submitted information, then the registration period may take up to 8 days, then the final registration period increases slightly, but the cost remains the same as indicated in the price lists for Moscow and regions.
Required documents
To obtain a temporary residence permit in Moscow, you must submit some documents that are required for the procedure:
- not expired Russian passport and its copy, everything in its internal contents should be in order;
- if children under 14 years of age are also registered at their place of residence, then their birth certificates are required;
Child's birth certificate
- statement;
- any document that would indicate that the receiving party agrees to accommodate the applicant (for example, a rental agreement).
Having collected these important documents, you can go through all stages of registration, even through mail, which may well help a person in obtaining his registration. The period will increase slightly, but in cases where the client is located in another part of a large country, this is not so significant.
What's happened
Place of residence is the place of permanent residence of a person. He is tied to it with the help of permanent registration (in simple terms, “registration”), and his passport has a corresponding stamp.
If a person leaves home for a long time and lives in another place, then it is considered the place of his temporary stay.
If this lasts more than 90 days, then the citizen is obliged to declare himself to the migration service and issue a certificate of temporary registration.

Unlike permanent registration, when a stamp is placed in the passport, with temporary registration the applicant is issued a standard certificate, which is called Form 3 and is a separate document. Temporary registration looks like a regular certificate - A5 paper, in which the necessary data has been entered and stamped by the service that issued it. It is most reliable to store it together with your passport as an insert.
How to register via email
Until now, the option of registration through personal submission of documents has been considered. But you can also submit papers via mail in the same way. This method is as reliable as personal contact. However, it must be taken into account that everything must be done within the specified time frame, otherwise the sender faces a fine.
A regular package of documents is collected and sent through the post office to the Ministry of Internal Affairs:
- An arrival and registration sheet for 9 months must be present, but only if the transfer is issued to the recipient;
- when such a document arrives at the specified address, it is checked by employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and if everything is fine with it, then they are obliged to send a notification to the sender within 3 days.

In the event that any documents are missing or they are completed incorrectly, the passport office employees are also obliged to notify the citizen about this. To receive a ready-made passport with temporary registration, its owner comes in person, having received a notification about it.
Where to go
There are several ways to submit a request for temporary registration:
- Send the application and the corresponding list of documents by mail;
- Fill out the form electronically on the website gosuslugi.ru;
- Do this in person by visiting the passport office or MFC.
In the latter case, the citizen receives a receipt confirming the acceptance and further consideration of the application. Here it is desirable to have the presence of not only the applicant, but also the owner. If this is not possible, the tenant can submit the application themselves, provided they have a notarized certificate.
Submitting the form online is very convenient if the applicant is unable to attend or is in a long line. The applicant is required to send a package of documents within 24 hours. The received certificate gives the citizen the right to live in the apartment.
