Registration, although it is of a notification nature , is accompanied by documentation.
It begins with submitting an application for registration (in writing) and ends with a stamp in the passport.
That is, a mark is placed in the citizen’s personal document indicating that he is registered at such and such an address. Why do you need a registration stamp in your passport and is it needed at all?
Is it necessary to mark the registration address at the place of residence?
The registration address at the place of residence, as well as at the place of stay, must be indicated in the passport. Paragraph 5 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On approval of the Regulations on the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation...” provides a list of information that must be indicated in it. Nothing is said about the mandatory nature of this requirement, as well as about the possible consequences. It only says that violation of requirements entails liability.
If we talk about liability for the absence of specified information in the passport, it is worth noting that it is provided for in Articles 19.15.1. and 19.15.2. Code of Administrative Offences.
They say that residence of a person at the place of residence or place of stay without a registration mark beyond the permitted time shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine, which amounts to 2-5 thousand rubles for individuals, for legal entities 250-750 thousand rubles.
For Moscow and St. Petersburg, these fines are slightly higher.
In addition, registration provides many opportunities , for example, to freely visit a local clinic, stay in a hospital, attend a preschool institution, receive social services, etc.
In practice, citizens are registered from birth, and when the first passport is issued, it usually already contains an entry.
At the passport office, if a citizen wishes to deregister at his place of residence, he may be refused if he does not provide a new address at which he will be registered in the future. They are also almost always registered at the place of residence, for example, if you study or are employed in another city and live in a dormitory, then the head of the dormitory also registers everyone . Therefore, it is possible to remain without a registration mark in rare cases. Registering yourself at your place of residence is simply vital!
To avoid confusion during registration, we suggest that you learn from our separate publications about the difference between the place of registration and the actual address of residence of a citizen, as well as whether there is a difference between registration and registration.
Mandatory registration
In 1993, the concept of registration was abolished in the Russian Federation, and the term “registration” was introduced instead. However, the renaming of the process did not in any way affect the general concept of recording persons residing permanently or temporarily in the territory of the Russian Federation. In accordance with legislative norms, registration is a notification process and is created to be able to record population migration. According to statistics, every year about twenty million people change their place of residence, deregistering at one address and registering at another.
Re-registration is not always mandatory. So, when moving within one subject of the Russian Federation, people may not make new paperwork if they themselves do not need it. But with global movements between constituent entities of Russia or even different countries, or in the case of deregistration from a previous place of residence, registration actions cannot be avoided.
The lack of documentary information confirming registration will not allow a person to get an official job, enroll minors in a kindergarten or school, or apply for benefits and benefits.
How long does it take to register in a passport?
The law “On the right of citizens of the Russian Federation to freedom of movement...” strictly specifies the time during which entries must be completed. How long does it take to register? In Art. 5, the law on the right of citizens to freedom of movement states that the state body must register at the place of residence or stay within 3 days from the moment it receives documents from the citizen. List of documents:
- passport;
- statement;
- a document that is the basis for moving into housing.
In some cases, when it becomes necessary to send a request to government authorities to confirm information about the right to use residential premises, this period can be extended to 8 days (you can find out more about the procedure in which registration at the place of residence will take place in this material ).
The accounting authorities have the right to seize the passport in order to put the appropriate mark on it, but at the time of registration they must issue a certificate stating that the original document was seized for such and such actions.
Now you know how long it takes for a citizen’s passport to be taken away in order to fill out the registration page.
Documents for registration
To register/register, an adult must have:
- Statement.
- Passport.
- Departure sheet.
- Arrival sheet.
- Owners' consent.
To register a child with his parents, the consent of the property owner is not required. But parents need to bring:
- Marriage certificate.
- Certificate of birth of the baby.
- Application for registration.
- Certificates with personal registration.
Foreigners will additionally need:
- Migration card.
- Foreign passport with translation.
- Citizenship data.
Now it’s clear how to register when changing your place of residence.
Where is the stamp page?
Where is the stamp indicating the registration address? It is placed from the fifth to the twelfth page, in the title of which there is the inscription PLACE OF RESIDENCE. In this case, notes are made both on registration at the place of residence and at the place of stay.
Our website also contains a lot of useful information on the nuances of registering citizens at their place of residence. You can find it in the following publications:
- How is the registration of spouses at the place of residence carried out?
- How is family members registered in a privatized apartment?
- How can you find out who is registered in an apartment and what is it for?
- How to change registration legally and quickly?
- How to properly deregister yourself in order to obtain a new residence permit?
- What to do and where can you register if you don’t have your own home?
Why do you need a stamp confirming registration in the Russian Federation?
Firstly, some social benefits are tied to the place of registration of the citizen.
For example, it is impossible to apply for unemployment benefits if there is no registration in the documents. You will not receive the status of an individual entrepreneur either. Difficulties may also arise with employment: although enterprises are theoretically obliged to hire people without registration, in practice this will be rather a disadvantage. Another reason is the numerous violations of the law that occurred on the part of citizens without registration.
Registration requirements are the same for all Russians, and if there is no registration, then a fine is imposed for living without registration.

How to register in a private house
If a private house is located in the city, then to register you can contact a passport officer, who can be found at the management company servicing the house. In the case of country houses, after registering a private house, you need to contact the local administration performing the functions of the Federal Migration Service or the passport office to obtain registration.
Documents for registration in a private house:
- Statement.
- Permission from the owner, if this is someone else's house, or a certificate confirming ownership, wishing to obtain registration.
- Passport.
- Birth certificate for children.
- Title documents for the house.
If the information is incorrect or entered with errors
As you know, an identity document with corrections, errors or incorrect data is invalid. Therefore, if the registration information was entered incorrectly by an employee, then under no circumstances should you correct it yourself. To do this, you should immediately go to the migration service department with an application for a replacement.
Registration in a passport at the place of residence or stay is necessary in both cases. It's important to do it. Properly executed documents provide a citizen with many rights, and also relieve them of legal penalties in the form of fines. In this connection, the accounting procedure must always be carried out in a timely manner and in compliance with all rules and laws.

Without stamp
Is it possible to live without registration in your passport in Russia? This is another issue worthy of the attention of modern citizens.
Theoretically, you can live without a stamp in your passport indicating that you have a residence permit. The main thing is that migration centers store information about a person’s migration registration.
Small children live without stamps in their passports. They simply don't have ID. Civil passports are issued to minors at age 14. A stamp indicating the presence of permanent registration is also placed there.
When does responsibility not apply?
This administrative liability does not occur if:
- after identifying an offense, it turns out that the citizen is registered at the place of residence at a different address (in this or another locality, in a given subject of the Federation, including this applies to cities of federal significance);
- a citizen is a spouse, child (including adopted), child's spouse, parent (including adopted), parent's spouse, grandmother, grandfather, grandson of the owner or tenant of the premises in which he lived without registration (regardless of whether it was joint residence) , if he has a permanent registration elsewhere.
