Registration of Russian citizens of the Russian Federation in 2021: rules, terms of registration and deletion, documents

In domestic legislative acts, such a concept as migration registration of Russian citizens living in the Russian Federation is not applied. If we are talking about the movement of Russians within the country, another legislative concept gains force - registration records, the purpose of which is to record the place where a citizen is located or lives.

This is what registration at the place of residence of the Russian Federation looks like

Migration registration is discussed when the movement of foreigners and persons without any citizenship throughout the country is controlled.

The purpose of accounting for migration and registration

The country's federal laws oblige both citizens of the Russian Federation and visitors from other states and persons without citizenship to notify the migration authority of a change of location. This is required in order to control the flow of foreigners arriving in the country every day, as well as Russians actively moving around the territory of their state.

The main goal of migration registration, which is relevant for Russians and important for all visitors, is to provide people with the opportunity to use their freedoms and rights, fulfill obligations to the country, its society and compatriots.

In Russia, as in all other countries of the world, migration registration is the recording in documents of data about a citizen at the place of stay or residence. It is very important not to confuse these terms.

Watch the video: Registration rules.

What is considered a place of residence?

In the legal sense, the place of residence may be temporary, that is, it may not be the living space where you are registered as the owner or the owner’s closest relative.

The role is played by the foundation on which you occupy the living space:

The square meters belong to you according to the documentation.
There was a signing of a rental or sub-tenancy agreement.
A contract has been concluded for the hiring of specialized residential areas, etc.

The place of residence can be positioned as follows:

A separate room in a dorm or regular apartment.
Apartment.
House.
Premises located in specialized housing facilities, etc.
The place of residence may be living space that belongs to you according to documents

For example, such a place for a foreigner could be an apartment that he rents after receiving a temporary residence permit.

What is considered as a place of stay?

Legislative acts consider the place of stay as an object where a foreigner or Russian has been staying for a long time, but it is not his permanent place of residence, that is, it is temporary. It could be:

Hotel room.
Hospital ward.
Prison cell.
A room in the sanatorium department.
Camping.

The hotel can be considered as a place of stay

For example, after receiving a temporary residence permit, and not yet having found an apartment to rent, you live in a hotel. The hotel is considered as a place of stay.

What is meant by fictitious registration?

In migration and legal practice, the concept of “fictitious registration” is used, which implies the submission by foreigners or Russians of invalid data about their place of residence or stay.

There are penalties for such actions. This could be a large fine (100,000–500,000 rubles) or imprisonment for violators of the law.

Article 322.2. Criminal Code of the Russian Federation

Registration of Russians

Migration of Russians within the country is subject to accounting in the same way as change of location by foreigners or stateless persons.

According to the rules of migration legislation, those who change their fixed address or change their place of residence for a long period of time are required to notify government authorities about their new place. They are also required to leave their old location.

You can re-register as follows:

Appearing in person at the registration service.
By sending a notification online using the municipal and government services portal.
Through the services of the Russian Postal Department (only if the place of residence is registered).

How do you register at your place of residence?

If you change your place of residence, you must notify the local registration authorities about this within a week (seven calendar days) after moving.

You need to provide:

Passport.
A statement indicating that a change of residence has occurred.
The paper based on which you moved into the living space declared as the new place of registration.

Sample application for registration at place of residence

The latter should be provided only in the case where information about the reasons for your relocation is not available from municipal or state authorities.

As a result, you will be deregistered at your previous place of residence.

How do you legally register at your place of residence?

If you have changed your place of residence for quite a long time (we are talking about exceeding the period of 90 days), in order not to break the law, you should contact the registration authorities with the following documents:

Internal passport.
A statement describing the situation and reasons.
Justification in the form of documents indicating these reasons.

After reviewing the documentation provided, you will be issued a certificate giving you the right to temporarily live in a new place. Your fixation on the old will remain in force.

This is what a certificate of registration at the place of residence looks like

How are newborns registered?

A person born within Russia becomes its citizen from the date of his birth. Parents are required to register their child within the prescribed time frame. This is stated in the Law of the Russian Federation No. 5242-1. This document states that parents must notify the registry office about this within a month after the baby is born.

Then the new Russian must be registered with the registration authorities. This should be done within seven days after receiving the documents from the registry office.

If you ignore the requirements described above, parents will be fined in the amount of 2000–2500 rubles.

Watch the video: How to register a newborn baby.

How are citizens over 14 years of age registered?

Like kids, Russians who have already celebrated their 14th birthday, that is, older teenagers, are not responsible for the fact that they were not registered at their place of residence or stay.

Citizens responsible for minors before the law are required to register this category of persons.

Example of registration at the place of residence of a minor citizen

Russian Government Decree 713 on registration

My wife is going to give birth to her second child in two months. Finding out in advance what and where documents will need to be provided when preparing documents for a child, I encountered the following. When submitting documents for registration of a newborn, house administrations require a list of documents that does not comply with current legislation. Especially when parents register in different places. They require the written consent of the second parent, as well as a certificate from his place of registration to certify that the child is no longer registered, so to speak, they are playing it safe. Otherwise, if these documents are not provided, the newborn’s registration will be denied, which is also contrary to the law, as is the requirement of these documents.

In the “Rules for registration and deregistration of citizens of the Russian Federation at the place of stay and at the place of residence within the Russian Federation”, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 17, 1995 No. 713, these documents are not mentioned. In the “Administrative Regulations for the provision by the Federal Migration Service of state services for registration of citizens of the Russian Federation at the place of stay and place of residence within the Russian Federation”, approved by Order of the Federal Migration Service of Russia dated September 20, 2007 No. 208, as well as in other documents approved by Orders FMS of Russia, these documents do not appear and their provision is not regulated anywhere.

In accordance with Art. 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation The place of residence of minors under fourteen years of age or citizens under guardianship is the place of residence of their legal representatives - parents, adoptive parents or guardians.

In accordance with Art. 65 of the RF IC, the place of residence of children when parents live separately is established by agreement of the parents, therefore the child can be registered at the place of residence of both the father and mother, while according to the current legislation, for the registration of minors at the place of residence of the parents, the consent of other persons living in the residential premises, not required.

Any citizen of the Russian Federation can register his minor child at the place of residence in the residential premises in which he himself is registered at the place of residence (completely regardless of whether he is the owner of the residential premises or not) and to register a minor child there is NO NEED to ASK ANYONE CONSENT, except for the consent of the second parent, if he is registered at the place of residence in another residential building (and the law does not oblige the written or otherwise formalized consent of the second parent to be submitted when submitting documents for registration of a child).

Features of migration registration

Migration registration actions are always aimed at recording in documents foreigners or persons who do not have citizenship who came to the Russian Federation.

Russian law states that this type of accounting is for notification purposes only. The exception is situations identified in constitutional and federal law.

Deadlines for foreigners to register

The main law regulating the registration procedure for foreign guests is Federal Law 109.

According to Russian legislation, all foreigners entering the state and intending to stay in it for more than a week are required to notify the Federal Migration Service of their arrival within seven days. Information about the arrival is entered into the database of the migration authority.

Watch the video: When should a foreign citizen register for migration in the Russian Federation?

Those who break the rules will face fines and deportation.

Important: two concepts that are often confused apply to foreign citizens living in Russia: migration registration and temporary registration.

Migration registration and temporary registration

Migration registration is a notification of arrival submitted to the relevant service. A form for notification of the arrival of a foreign citizen is available.

Sample of a detachable part of a notice of arrival of a foreign citizen

Temporary registration is a registration that foreigners usually do after receiving a temporary residence permit.

This is what temporary registration looks like

Registration of foreign citizens can be carried out at the place of stay or residence. You should contact the local authority of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation operating in the area where the premises to which the applicant will be assigned are located.

The host party or the guest himself can contact the migration service. You can submit your application as follows:

Personally.
Russian Post.
Through the state portal class=”aligncenter” width=”763″ height=”435″[/img]
You can submit an application to the migration service through the state services portal

Important: registration always presupposes the presence of a living space where the registrant will live.

Registered foreigners have the right to stay in the Russian Federation for the duration of their visa. If a guest arrives from a visa-free country, he is required to leave the Russian Federation after 90 days from the date of entry. Foreign guests have the right to a longer stay in the country after receiving a temporary residence permit.
