What is registration?

Registration means registration carried out at the place of residence, that is, permanent. As noted, the term is not legally correct, but is widely used in practice. As an example, it is enough to give a screenshot from the State portal. It is also used, and quite officially.

A characteristic feature of registration is a direct connection with the place of residence, that is, permanent or primary residence. In contrast to temporary registration, which is carried out at a place of short stay, for example, at a hotel during a business trip or at a hotel during a tourist trip during a vacation. An important feature of the legislation is the fact that temporary registration does not cancel permanent registration, which remains.

Is it possible to live without registration?

A change of place of residence requires registration at a new place within a week. After this period, administrative responsibility begins, provided for by two articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation - 19.15.1 and 19.15.2. Possible punishment is a fine of 3-5 thousand rubles. for residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg or 2-3 thousand rubles. for citizens from other regions of Russia.

How to live without registration?

Typically, a similar situation arises when selling a home or leaving a previous place of residence/stay. If there is no new permanent place of residence, we are talking about a temporary stay in one or another residential premises. In this case, the citizen is given 90 days to register and obtain temporary registration.

The already mentioned articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses provide an exhaustive list of situations in the event of which a person is exempt from liability. For example, when living with a registered spouse or children.

What are the consequences of not registering?

As noted above, failure to comply with the established registration procedure results in a fine. Its value is 3-5 and 2-3 thousand rubles, respectively, for Moscow and St. Petersburg / other regions of the country.

The above applies to the absence of both temporary and permanent registration. It is important to remember the differences in terms of liability - 7 days for registration and 90 days for temporary registration.

The fine that is imposed on the owner or tenant of housing who fails to notify the regulatory authorities about a person living in his premises deserves special mention. In this case, the fine is 5-7 and 2-5 thousand rubles. according to a similar scheme described above.

It is important to remember that a much more serious offense is fictitious registration. Its detection results in criminal liability and provides for punishment of up to three years in prison.

The largest metropolis in Europe

A historical milestone in the implementation of the capital’s reconstruction plan was the annexation of 148 hectares of land in the southwestern region of the Moscow region to the city territory in 2012. The area of the city increased 2.5 times and reached 2550 km2. As a result, Troitsky and Novomoskovsky urban districts appeared with a population of 235 thousand people.

After expanding its borders and increasing the population to 12 million residents (plus about two million people who regularly come to the capital to work), “Greater Moscow” became the largest metropolis in Europe, surpassing even the largest agglomeration “Greater London” with an area of 1706.8 km2 and a population of about 8 million 300 thousand inhabitants.

Greater or New Moscow is called upon to reverse the situation with the imbalance in the city’s development, harmoniously distribute jobs and decentralize passenger traffic in the capital. It is very important to resolve the issue of the road network; the level of its development is 2-3 times lower than in any other large metropolis in Europe.

What documents are needed to register in an apartment?

Registration in an apartment or private house requires the formation and submission of the following package of documents to the registration authority:

a statement signed by the owner of the premises;
passport (for a child under 14 years old - birth certificate);
title documents for housing;
consent of the owners (if the registrant is not one);
act on the appointment of a trustee or guardian (for persons partially or completely incapacitated).

Cost and terms of registration

The registration change service is provided absolutely free of charge.

It will take no more than 20 minutes to complete all paperwork at the MFC and the Federal Migration Service. Through the portal “Government Services” you can do this even faster.

The application processing period may take from 3 working days. Usually on the 4th day, employees of the registration department notify the citizen and that all papers are ready.

Please note that upon registration, the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation is confiscated. It will be possible to pick it up with all the necessary changes only together with the rest of the package of documents.

Which organizations can I register with?

Registration at the place of residence or stay is carried out in three ways. The right to choose the appropriate one is given to the applicant.

Passport Office

Traditional registration option. Provides for contacting the territorial division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the management company if it performs the functions of a passport office.

MFC

The second way is a personal visit to one of the multifunctional centers located in the area of residence. The procedure for submitting documents does not differ from the usual, as do the registration deadlines.

State Services Portal

The most popular registration option in today's conditions. Its advantages are obvious:

no queues;
efficiency;
24/7 access to the portal functionality.

All that is required from the user is to register on the site. The procedure does not require much time. Further actions are carried out in accordance with detailed instructions posted directly on the portal.

After processing the received application, the user receives a notification about the need to appear at a certain time at the passport office with documents. Registration takes place there without queuing or waiting.

There are several ways to find a page with the services you need. For example, by going to the following subsections of the site: main page - “Life situations” - “Purchase of housing” - “Registration at place of residence”. The information posted on the page that opens provides comprehensive information for potential recipients src=»https://f.sravni.ru/cms/uploads/2021/11/125339-2.png» class=»aligncenter» width=»1221″ height= "588"[/img]

Fine for absence

The Administrative Code of the Russian Federation establishes a fine for both lack of registration and late registration. Law enforcement agencies have the right to suddenly check a citizen’s documents in any public place if a violation is suspected.

The amount of the fine is determined by the corresponding Article 19.15.1 of the Administrative Offenses Code of the Russian Federation:

2000-3000 rubles for persons who do not have registration or have expired it,
3000-5000 rubles for citizens who do not have registration in Moscow and St. Petersburg,
3000-5000 rubles for home owners who allowed persons to live on their territory without registration (in Moscow and St. Petersburg the fine increases to 5000-7000 rubles),
50,000-750,000 rubles for legal entities that are owners of housing in which unregistered persons live.

The violator has the right to challenge the fact of violation within 10 days from the date of imposition of the fine. This can be done in court or at the police station.

The fine must be paid within two months. In case of non-payment, the citizen may be prosecuted or punished by increasing the fine several times.

Which authorities need to be notified?

Military Commissariat;
At the new place of registration you need to register with the military. But not everyone.
No need to register for military service:
1. Exempted by law from military duty.
Those who are serving a sentence of imprisonment.
Women who do not have a military specialty.
For those who have military ranks of officers and are in the reserves of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation and the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation.
traffic police;

There is no need to notify this authority if you do not have a vehicle. And even if you have a driver’s license to drive a vehicle.

And if you have a car or other driving device, then you only need to replace the vehicle registration certificate. There is also the possibility of registration through a power of attorney.

Pension Fund;

If you receive a pension or other certain payments through this body, then it must be notified. There is no need to change SNILS. It doesn’t matter how you receive payments: to a bank card.

Medical institutions;

In order to receive medical care at your new place of residence under compulsory medical insurance, you need to be assigned to a territorial clinic. You can change clinics no more than once a year, and you can choose any one.

Health insurance company;

The law does not say that the address of residence is included in the compulsory medical insurance policy; however, a situation may arise that your insurance company does not provide services in the region where you plan to live. You will have to change the organization and change the policy when you are assigned to the clinic.

Insurance companies for compulsory motor liability insurance;

While you have an MTPL agreement, you are required to inform the insurer about changes in information, and this includes information about a change of registration address. This must be done in writing.

Types of registration

There are two types of registration. Each requires separate consideration.

Constant

The first is permanent or at the place of residence, often called propiska. In this case, we are talking about your own apartment or house, purchased, built or inherited. An alternative option is housing provided under a social rental agreement.

Permanent registration requires a special stamp to be affixed to the passport. Its effect is of an indefinite nature - until forced removal from the residential premises, for example, by a court decision or voluntary deregistration.

Registration registration provides a number of additional rights:

participate in privatization;
register third parties in the apartment;
influence decision-making regarding the presence of strangers in the living space;
use some social and medical government services, for example, receiving benefits or being on a waiting list for a preschool institution.

Temporary

The second type of registration is temporary. It is carried out at the place of residence where a person intends to live for a certain time. Typically the length of stay varies from 90 days to 5 years. The fact of temporary registration is confirmed by the certificate. No marks are made in the passport.

Difference between them

The main differences between permanent and temporary registration are as follows:

registration is mandatory for all citizens, temporary registration is issued as necessary;
the first is of an indefinite nature, the second is clearly regulated in time ranging from 90 days to 60 months;
permanent is terminated voluntarily or forcibly, temporary - upon expiration of the term;
a registration stamp is placed in the passport, the fact of temporary registration is confirmed by a hand-issued certificate;
registration increases utility bills, temporary registration does not affect the amount of housing and communal services fees;
Permanent registration is required to obtain a full set of citizen rights, while temporary registration provides partial access to them.

Dynamics of New Moscow

How is the reconstruction process in Moscow going today? What did the “old” and “new” Muscovites get from the implementation of such a large-scale project? And, most importantly, is it worth buying an apartment in New Moscow? With the increase in the size of the city and its residential areas, it has become easier to come for permanent residence in the capital, buy an apartment and become a full-fledged Muscovite.

The problem of uneven distribution of jobs across the capital remains acute: only 8-9% of Muscovites live within the Third Transport Ring of Moscow, but 40% of jobs are concentrated here. It is impossible to correct this situation by solving one transport problem; measures are needed to decentralize the city. While this process is clearly stalled, as a result, the majority of those who want to live in the capital choose areas inside the Moscow Ring Road.

How to register?

The general procedure for registering and the documents required for this are listed above. Here it is necessary to note several points that are fundamentally important for the successful implementation of the event.

How to fill out the application correctly?

The application form was approved by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 984 (dated December 31, 2017). Its careful study allows us to draw several conclusions.

What information should be present in the document?

The application for registration must include the following set of details and information:

name of the registration authority;
Full name of the applicant;
previous residential address;
information about the owner of the residential premises;
details of the title document;
new residential address;
passport data and SNILS (if available) of the applicant;
signature of the applicant and date of preparation of the document.

The second part of the document is an application for deregistration at the place of previous residence. In fact, it duplicates the information given above.

Sample application

The completed application form looks like this: First part.

Second part.

If you encounter any difficulties with its registration, it makes sense to consult with an employee of the MFC or passport office.

Possible mistakes

The most common mistake is providing inaccurate data. Therefore, before submitting an application, it is advisable to carefully check the information specified in the document. Otherwise, completing the application is not particularly difficult.

Features of registration of citizens of different ages and status

Permanent or temporary registration of different categories of citizens has some features. Let's take a closer look at the most important of them.

Children

Children under 14 years of age have the opportunity to register with their parents. If the latter live separately, then with any of them. The document confirming the child’s identity is not a passport, but a birth certificate.

Students

Registration of students living in a dormitory at the place of study is carried out by contacting an official authorized by the educational institution. Three days are given for this, the countdown of which begins from the moment you receive a room in the hostel.

Military personnel

Registration of military personnel is carried out in one of two ways:

permanent (at place of residence) - in the general order (does not apply to those undergoing military service);
temporary (at the place of stay) – required for a period of 90 days and requires a travel certificate or vacation ticket.

Contract and conscript military personnel, as well as members of their families, are registered at the location of their military unit. After receiving separate housing, they register in accordance with the general procedure.

Features of registration in different ways

Each of the three methods of registration in an apartment provided for by the current rules has its own characteristics:

applying to the passport office is considered the fastest option for obtaining registration, but is accompanied by the need to stand in line waiting for a specialist;
queues at the MFC are usually shorter, and employees of multifunctional centers are willing to help the applicant with filling out the application;
submitting an application through the State Services website is the most convenient and fastest way, but this method still requires a personal visit to the passport office to sign the necessary documents.

It is important to understand that the total duration of registration through the MFC and State Services is slightly longer than directly applying to the passport office. Although in most cases this is more convenient and saves time on submitting documents.

conclusions

What conclusion have we come to? Capital life with official permanent registration gives a lot of preferences to citizens:

certain categories are guaranteed pension bonuses;
excellent employment opportunity for a good position with increased earnings;
compensation and subsidies in the public utilities sector;
free medical care;
the opportunity to enroll a child in kindergarten or school;
various child benefits, benefits for care up to 1.5 years, etc.

Living in Moscow is an understandable dream for Russians. There are many more opportunities here, powerful regional government support, a social card for Muscovites, etc. But to receive such preferences, permanent metropolitan registration is required. But there are many pitfalls here, such as high taxation, expensive housing or disgusting ecology.

How to register a person without his personal presence?

It is possible to formally register a person in his absence. This requires confirmation of the inability to attend for a valid reason. These include:

disaster;
emergency;
serious illness;
other force majeure circumstances.

In practice, passport office employees never implement this possibility. In other words, the personal presence of the person prescribed is not only desirable, but also necessary. The above does not apply to temporary registration at the place of stay, the registration of which is regulated less strictly by law.

Where can I get permanent registration if I have no housing?

The relevance of the issue is due to the fact that some civil rights, medical and social services are available only to people with registration. The same applies to obtaining loans from banks or loans from microfinance organizations.

As of today, lack of housing precludes the possibility of permanent registration. The problem can be solved using one of three methods:

purchasing housing using any of the available methods, for example, a mortgage;
registration in the housing of relatives with their consent;
obtaining permanent registration with the permission of the owner of the rented apartment.

The last two options require prior consent from the owners. In the case of close relatives, this looks much more realistic than when renting housing.

Communications

The second thing you should pay attention to when choosing a house or plot is the communications that are located in the house itself, on the plot and along its border, as well as in the locality where you are going to purchase square meters and acres.

“And we’ll walk on water...” Which pumping station to choose for your home

The key in most cases is the presence of gas. The very fact of gas being installed in a house can increase the cost of housing by up to 20%. This is due to the rather complicated procedure for obtaining permission, as well as the expensive process of bringing gas to the territory of one’s site.

Not the worst option if the gas main runs along the border of the site. In this case, of course, you will have to work hard, but in the end your house will be gasified. And the most undesirable option is to buy a house with “the prospect of gas supply,” as they often write, “in the near future.” So you may not get gas.

If the site is not gasified, but there is a gas main along the border, it is important that the house is wired. Otherwise, there will be very expensive and troublesome work on laying pipes and installing radiators in all rooms. All this - the lack of wiring and the lack of gas on the site - is an excellent reason for significant bargaining when purchasing. Heating with electricity is much more expensive than gas, and heating with solid fuel is extremely inconvenient.

It is also important to pay attention to the presence or absence of communications such as water, electricity and sewerage. Electricity is available in almost all houses. The water supply should ideally be mainline. But more often they offer houses with water from wells. This option is less reliable, but still acceptable. It is desirable that the sewage system be central. If it is not available, a septic tank installed on the site will do. In this case, it is advisable that a septic tank be installed that will not need to be emptied by calling specialists. The most undesirable option, of course, is a cesspool.

More details

How to check out of the apartment?

Deregistration is required in three cases:

moving to a new place of residence;
purchasing an apartment or house for permanent residence;
leaving Russia.

The procedure for leaving an apartment differs little from registration. You need to submit documents to the passport office, MFC or on the State Services portal. The application for extract serves as the second part of the one presented above for registration. Therefore, in practice, both activities are usually performed simultaneously - it is simply simpler and faster.

Two exceptions are: leaving the country and lack of clarity about the place of further residence. In such a situation, deregistration from an apartment is carried out without registration in another.

Where to contact

In Russia there is a special body that deals with the registration of citizens - the Main Directorate for Migration Issues of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. But you can submit documents to other authorities. This is due to the heavy workload of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

For persons involved in changing registration, there are now many options for simply registering a new registration.

Among them:

management departments of the Federal Migration Service (FMS),
multifunctional center (MFC),
online portal "State Services".

It is important to understand that in order to receive ready-made papers, you will most likely have to go to another place.

The disadvantage of the popular portal “Gosuslugi” is that you need to upload scans of all necessary documents to it. That is why you will have to once again provide all the necessary papers to verify their authenticity.

Lawyers' recommendations

There are still many misconceptions regarding registration - permanent or temporary. Therefore, it makes sense to listen to the recommendations of competent lawyers, which include the following:

the best option for registration is at the place of residence or registration, as it provides access to the maximum range of civil rights and government services;
failure to register results in administrative liability and a fine;
registration of fictitious registration is fraught with much more serious criminal liability in terms of punishment;
legislation provides the opportunity to choose the appropriate registration method from three possible ones, so it is advisable to register as quickly as possible;
any questions that arise are promptly resolved by contacting a specialist, most of them within the framework of an initial free consultation.

Rights and benefits

The capital provides a lot of preferences for citizens, but to do this you need to officially become a permanent resident of the city.

For example, having lived in the capital for 10 years or more, you are guaranteed to receive a pension supplement. Benefits are also given to unemployed citizens, disabled people, etc.
Lots of preferences for students and pensioners.
The opportunity to vote and use free medical services, quickly obtain a passport, etc.

The capital offers a lot of prospects in terms of employment and education. Here, in the literal sense of the word, life is in full swing, there are many entertainment centers, some cultural events are held daily, etc.

FAQ

What is the difference between permanent registration and temporary registration?

The first is issued at the place of residence, and the second - at the place of stay. The first is of an indefinite nature, the second has a clearly defined period, which is between 90 days and 5 years. The first provides access to a full range of civil rights and opportunities.

What does the term “registration” mean today?

Registration is not quite the correct term from a legal point of view, but it is often used in practice. It is almost identical to the concept of temporary registration.

What methods of registration are available to Russians?

Today, there are three possible ways to submit documents for registration - through the MFC, through the State Services portal and by personal application to the passport office. In the first two cases, a visit to the management company or department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot be avoided.

What are the dangers of living in an apartment without registration?

If we are talking about violating the terms of registration, the culprit is punished with a fine. Its size is from 3 to 5 thousand rubles for Moscow and St. Petersburg or from 2 to 3 thousand rubles. for other populated areas of the country.

Privileges and disappointments of residents of New Moscow

All residents of municipalities, urban and rural settlements annexed to the capital in 2012 overnight became Muscovites. They also received the privileges of Moscow registration:

increases in pensions and social benefits for large and low-income families;
increased payments of maternity benefits, child care benefits and single mothers;
increased scholarships for students of higher and secondary specialized educational institutions;
free meals for students in schools.

There is no need to talk about the most important advantage of metropolitan life – access to an extensive labor market and the opportunity to find a good job with a high salary not too far from home. The regions of New Moscow remain in the status of suburbs. The infrastructure and transport support of the annexed territories are not yet in the best shape, although active work is being carried out in this direction. And housing and communal services in Old Moscow are much cheaper.

The “new Muscovites” did not receive the opportunity to be assigned to prestigious Moscow clinics with a high level of medical services. It is far, almost impossible for children to get to elite schools and higher educational institutions. Theaters, exhibitions, major cultural centers, elite clubs and sports complexes remain inside the Moscow Ring Road.

The enormous opportunities that the capital provides to its residents go mostly to the inhabitants of “Old Moscow”. But, if we compare the pros and cons of life in the new Moscow, then, in addition to disappointments, there will be positive sides for the “new Moscovites”. In addition to the above privileges that Moscow registration provides, they receive:

the prestigious status of a Muscovite and the right to receive 11 times more funds from the federal budget than any other average resident of the country;
offers to buy real estate at prices lower than in the center of Moscow, and a large selection of them;
absence of traffic jams on Zamkadovsky roads;
new metro stations of metro lines laid in the annexed areas;
a much more favorable ecological situation than in “Old Moscow”. If you do not take into account the traditional industrial regions of the Moscow region (Khimki, Mytishchi, Troitsk, the Vnukovo airport area and others), then the air here is much cleaner. Nearby are the famous groves near Moscow, beautiful landscapes and silence.

Having weighed all the “pros” and “cons” of registration in New Moscow, we can summarize that, after all, the main “plus” of life in the new Greater Moscow is a good environment. According to leading standards and privileges, it does not reach the level of Old Moscow with the Moscow Ring Road loaded with cars.
