While staying within the Russian Federation, both persons with Russian citizenship and foreigners have the right to independently make decisions about their location. However, when temporarily residing at an address different from the place of permanent registration, everyone is obliged to notify the Federal Migration Service about this. However, notification periods, responsibilities and other nuances will differ depending on citizenship.
The terms of temporary registration, as well as other requirements for it, are fixed in the current Russian legislation, including rules for registration, deregistration, and resolution of emerging conflicts. Today, a fairly large percentage of citizens, for example, are afraid to register additional residents in their living space, even on a temporary basis, for fear of possible problems and encroachment on their property. However, according to the law, none of the temporarily registered persons has the right to claim real estate, regardless of how long they have been using the housing, and have no right to become a participant in privatization.
When registering for migration, you do not need to put a stamp in your passport, as with permanent registration. A separate document is issued - a certificate.
Minimum and maximum period of validity of temporary registration
Let's answer the question of how long temporary registration in Russia is granted. So, the shortest period for which you can obtain a registration certificate is 6 months. Even if a person does not plan to live in this place for six months, he needs to receive a document for just such a period. Such restrictions are established by the laws of the Russian Federation.
The longest possible period of registration at the place of residence is 5 years . After this period has expired, everything can be processed again. You can re-register an infinite number of times, but the maximum period for one registration is exactly 5 years.
Important! You can register in municipal housing for no more than six months. To get it for a long period, you need to look for housing that has a specific owner and negotiate with him.
Those who didn't have time are late
The terms of registration and registration and all periods for their registration are determined in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.
Based on the results of the process, a stamp will appear in your passport indicating the address where you are registered on a permanent basis.
When registering a person under 14 years of age, a similar stamp is placed on the birth certificate .
As for the deadlines for processing a document at the place of residence on a permanent basis, they are as follows:
- Within a period not exceeding three days, all necessary documents for registration are accepted.
- Then, within 8 days, all documents are reviewed, analyzed, and sent for revision, if really necessary.
This also includes sending a request to the necessary authority, after which the request is usually confirmed.
If the duration of the procedure was violated due to the person in need of the procedure, then he is issued a certain fine .
Differences in registration depending on the period
Depending on the design term, the procedure does not differ much. Next, we will look at the design features using the example of each of the key periods.
Month
Many people ask how they can sign up for 30 days. But there is no such possibility. Citizens of the Russian Federation can live without obtaining a certificate for as long as 90 days, so it makes no sense to register for a shorter period. The document is not issued under any pretext, including to foreigners.
Three months
Only foreigners are registered for this period. Citizens of the Russian Federation cannot receive it - for them the terms begin at six months. Foreigners need specific papers:
- internal passport of the state of which the person is a citizen;
- migration card, visa;
- passport of the receiving person;
- confirmation of ownership of housing from the host.
The peculiarity of registering a foreigner is that he definitely needs a host. Without it, a foreign citizen will not be able to obtain temporary registration.
One year
1 year is the most popular option. This term is usually enough for people to resolve all issues and either return to their previous place of residence or register permanently in a new place. Registration occurs according to the general scheme:
- Submitting an application to the registration authority. The papers must be submitted along with the application in the presence of the property owner. If there are several of them, the presence of one of them is sufficient, but the rest must have written consent.
- Waiting for a positive response. If everything is in order with the application and collected papers, then you can receive temporary registration in 2-3 days. In case of a long queue, you will have to wait up to 7-9 days, but no more.
- Obtaining a registration certificate. Its role is played by the detachable part of the application previously filled out by the person.
Important! No matter what term the temporary residence permit is issued for, it is not stamped in the passport. The registration certificate is a separate document. No one makes any changes to existing papers.
For 3-5 years
To obtain temporary registration for 3 or 5 years, you do not need to make any special efforts. The list of documents is no different. The registration term is established by an agreement between the owner of the property and the person who wishes to temporarily register there.
If the homeowner agrees to provide a place for registration for a long term, then no legal obstacles will arise in this process. The registration scheme is the same as for shorter periods.
Foreigners cannot obtain registration for 3 and 5 years. The maximum period for them is 1 year.
Many citizens are interested in information about whether it is possible to have two registrations at the same time and how exactly temporary registration differs from permanent registration. You can find the answer to these questions in our article. You will also need information about whether it is possible to obtain temporary registration without permanent registration.
Procedure for registration and list of documents
For temporary registration, you must contact the FMS or MFC at the place of intended registration, or the State Services website. Documents can also be submitted through Russian Post.
Read our article about how to submit an application to the MFC, at the Post Office or through State Services.
The citizen fills out the approved Application form for registration at the place of residence (Form No. 1 or Form No. 1 PR for submission via Russian Post).
The document, among other information, contains a column indicating the registration period. A specific start and end date is indicated .
The package of documents for registration does not depend on the deadline. The following documents must be attached to the application :
- Passport with a copy attached.
- A notarized rental agreement or a statement from the owner.
- Permission from local authorities, if registration is carried out in municipal housing.
Is it possible to extend at the place of stay?
The procedure for extending temporary registration is not provided for by the laws of the Russian Federation. If a person’s registration period expires, he needs to go through the procedure again from the very beginning.
This means that you need to collect documents for registration at your place of stay again and do everything the same as last time.
Registration renewal is available only to foreigners . Due to imperfect knowledge of the laws, citizens of the Russian Federation sometimes believe that they have this opportunity, but in fact this is not the case.
Citizens of the Russian Federation do not need a mandatory extension, because they can live for as long as 90 days without registration. They have more than enough time to go through the procedure again.
Extension
If the temporary residence permit has expired, but the need to live at this address still exists, and the citizen cannot leave the locality, the residence permit can be extended.
The extension of temporary registration of a citizen of the Russian Federation is carried out by the territorial branches of the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation.
You can contact either this organization directly or the MFC at your place of registration. An application for extension can also be submitted through the Post Office or the State Services website.
The package of documents for renewal of registration is completely identical to that submitted upon initial receipt of the Certificate. You just need to attach the primary registration document to it.
All documents when submitted remotely are presented in the form of copies. When applying in person to the FMS or MFC, the originals are provided with copies attached.
If the residential premises in which registration is being carried out has several owners , each adult owner of the share must give permission.
Moreover, all of them must be personally present at the application procedure or issue a notarized power of attorney . If the owner of one of the shares is a child under 18 years of age, permission from the guardianship authorities .
Why the owner may have problems
In case of administrative offenses, the tenant will be searched first of all at the last place of registration. This may cause inconvenience to the homeowner. In addition, if the tenant owes debts to creditors, and bailiffs are working against him, then part of the property owner’s property may also be seized.
If a criminal offense occurred in the apartment or was committed by a tenant, this can also become an additional problem for the owner. In some particularly difficult situations, he may even be accused of complicity or aiding a crime.
If the tenant flooded the neighbors, caused a fire, or caused damage to other residents of the house, then it will be difficult to prove his innocence to the owner. To avoid such situations, it is better not only to include a damage clause in the rental agreement, but also to insure the property, and include the insurance amount in the price.
The process of registration in another city
Quite often it happens that you purchase housing in another city, and you are faced with the question of registration at your place of residence. How long does it take to register for an apartment and what is still needed to carry out this procedure in a foreign city?
In fact, the procedure is not complicated or difficult to complete; you need to collect a complete package of all necessary documents and decide on a deadline.
Among the documents you will need for registration are the following:
- identification document;
- military ID, which is often required to be presented to persons under 27 years of age;
- papers on which property was registered.
In addition to all the basic documents that are required for registration, it is also important to have a compelling reason for doing so . Quite often, this reason is the right to property in the city where the process takes place.
If the housing is owned by another person , in this case a notarized statement is required from him.
It is important to remember that before starting a business in a new city, you must visit the authorities related to your previous place of residence, there you must complete the deregistration procedure and receive a deregistration sheet .
If it is required in another city if you have registration at your main place of residence, government officials do not have the right to refuse in this case. But then you need to fill out a special coupon , which is attached to the main package of documents.
If registration in another city is temporary, then this will have some differences from permanent registration. Why registration is needed and whether it is mandatory, what it is, is described here.
Firstly , the person who started this must be present in another city in person at the necessary authorities. Secondly , the consent of all home owners is required, which must be notarized.
Registering in a foreign city is quite easy, but it can take much longer than the procedure for a regular stamp at the place of residence.
Required documents.
The list of required documents for obtaining registration varies depending on the method of submission, as well as on the registered person:
If the application takes place in person at the MFC or at the Department of Internal Affairs:
- Completed application;
- Personal passport;
- Documentary basis for registration.
If the application is sent by mail, then the following must be added to the above:
- Notarization of the basis for registration;
- Arrival address sheet;
- Statistical record sheet.
To obtain a temporary registration for a minor, you will need:
- Scans of passports of his parents or guardians;
- Document on adoption, if any;
- Child's birth certificate;
- A current extract from the house register;
- Marriage/divorce certificate;
Penalty for failure to register
If tenants live without permanent or temporary registration, then this is recognized as an administrative offense. The tenant will be fined 3-5 thousand rubles for Moscow and St. Petersburg, and 2-3 thousand rubles for other regions.
But, if a tenant lives in the apartment and has permanent registration in the same city or federal subject, then there will be no fine. In federal cities, fines will not be imposed for tenants without temporary registration if they are registered in the region. This applies to Moscow, St. Petersburg and Sevastopol. Tenants with permanent registration in the Moscow, Leningrad region and the Republic of Crimea, respectively, can live in owner apartments without temporary registration.
In addition, neither the owner nor the tenants are fined for living in the apartment of relatives who have not been temporarily registered.
For violation of the law, not only the tenant, but also the owner of the living space can be fined. If the owner is an individual, then the amount of the fine for residents living in his apartment without temporary registration. From 2 to 5 thousand rubles for apartment owners throughout Russia and 5-7 thousand for Moscow and St. Petersburg. For legal entities, the amounts are even higher: from 250 thousand to 750 thousand rubles in Russia and 300-800 thousand for home owners in the two capitals.
