How and where to put a registration (stamp) in a new passport in 2021

In the early 1990s, Russia abolished a legacy of the Soviet past - registration in the passport, which had existed in the country for more than 70 years. This was received enthusiastically by Russians as a rejection of the encroachment on freedom of movement. But practice has shown that society is not yet ready for such a radical update, especially in conditions of social payments, medical care and other benefits being linked to registration. Registration was replaced by registration (although people continue to stubbornly call it registration) with a gradual transformation of its permissive nature into a notification one.

The most important document of a Russian citizen is a Russian passport.

The Russian passport is the main one in the Russian Federation. The Government of the Russian Federation, by its resolution No. 828 dated July 8, 1997, obliges all Russian citizens aged 14 years or more who reside in the country to have a Russian passport.

The document is a small book of 20 pages. The dark red cover is embossed with the coat of arms of the Russian Federation and the inscriptions:

above the coat of arms - “Russian Federation”;
under the coat of arms - “Passport”.

The document contains, in addition to the number, series, date of issue and name of the authority that issued it, the owner’s personal data: full name, gender, birth information and other data, including place of residence, military registration, etc.

A single sample document has been adopted for all subjects of the Federation; The republics are entitled to supplement it with an insert, which is agreed upon with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Heraldic Council of the Russian Federation and duplicates it in the national language. , and his and .

We recommend that you learn more about the procedure for obtaining and replacing it.

What does the stamp look like?

Where exactly do they put the mark? The stamp is applied to one of the pages reserved for such marks. These pages are numbered from 5th to 12th , on the 5th there is an inscription at the top and in.

On these seven pages, the FMS authorities must put down marks on registration and deregistration at the place of residence.

What should be included? The full name of the FMS unit performing the registration should be printed at the top, then “Registered” .

Below there is an empty line for entering the name of the locality, and a line for the address. At the bottom is the date of permanent registration and the signature of the official who carried out the procedure.

There is no registration in the passport: what the law says

Many citizens, including foreigners who wish to live in Russia for any reason, are wondering whether registration in the passport is required and, if so, how long one can legally live without it.

First of all, it is necessary to determine what Russian legislation says about this. The main regulations that citizens or stateless persons need to rely on or navigate in matters related to registration and passport regime are:

Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 232 of March 13, 1997;
Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 828 of 07/08/1997 (“Regulations on the Passport of the Russian Federation”);
Administrative regulations on the issuance and replacement of passports (annex to the order of the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation No. 391 of November 30, 2012);
Administrative regulations on registration of Russian citizens (appendix to FMS order No. 288 of September 11, 2012);
Law of the Russian Federation No. 5242-I of June 25, 1993 on freedom of movement, choice of place of residence in the Russian Federation;
Rules for registration of citizens of the Russian Federation at the place of residence and stay (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 713 of July 17, 1995);
Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (Article 19.15.1).

Obviously, citizens of the Russian Federation must, and from 2 to 3 thousand rubles. (in Moscow and St. Petersburg - from 3 to 5 thousand rubles).

Art. 3 of Law No. 5242-I stipulates that the lack of registration cannot become a reason for the loss of the rights and freedoms of citizens of the Russian Federation. Clause 26.4 of the regulations requires asking applicants who have applied for or to confirm their registration at the place of residence (with the clause “if any”).

There is some duality: citizens are required to have registration, but on the other hand, it may not exist. The question of whether a passport is valid without registration worries many.

The realities of life are full of various conflicts that you should navigate well: different periods are allocated for the registration of different categories of Russian citizens, not to mention stateless persons or foreigners who live in the Russian Federation. In what cases can registration be missing?

How long can you live without registration at your new place of residence?

The sale of an apartment or your own house means the termination of the rights to use them of the previous owner and his family (Article 292 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). This implies . The legislation does not establish within what time frame this should take place; therefore, the procedure can take a long time.

Therefore, a practice has developed when a clause is included (with the signatures of both parties) regarding the timing of the removal from the apartment of the previous owner and members of his family. If there are minor children in the family, then the situation with their discharge is different: permission from the guardianship and trusteeship authorities to sell an apartment if there are children registered in it without providing them with a new place of residence in compliance with all standards (sanitary and other) cannot be obtained. Therefore, the issue of new registration of children must be resolved before the sale of housing.

A period of three days has been established for consideration of an application for deregistration of the former owner of the apartment. After discharge, you must register at your new place of residence within a week. Before the expiration of the 7-day period, no penalties can be imposed.

How long after discharge do you need to register at your new place of residence?

The legislation clearly establishes the time frame within which it is necessary to register - no more than seven days from the date of arrival at the new place of residence. Registration authorities must review the submitted documents and register the applicant within three days.

In the event that the locality does not change, the countdown begins from the moment of deregistration. In other cases, in order to prove to migration authorities that the allotted deadlines for registration have not been exceeded, you need to have travel documents with you, as well as confirmation of residence rights (ownership or lease).

Moving to a new place of residence in another city

When changing place of residence or moving to another city, the algorithm of actions is similar: registration at the new place must occur within the same time frame, the applicant must provide the same documents to the registration authority (including travel tickets, if necessary, confirm the date of arrival).

The optimal solution for registration in another city would be automatic deregistration upon registration at a new place of residence.

To do this, you need to have an agreement with the new owner of the former apartment. While in another city, you should:

Appear at the territorial registration authority with a passport and an extract from the Unified State Register of Registered Registration Registers for the right to own an apartment, a purchase and sale agreement or a rental agreement. In the latter case, the presence of all adult participants in the transaction is necessary;
submit a completed application with a request to register at the specified address, documents for real estate and a tear-off coupon for deregistration from the previous place of residence, consent of the Property Management Department (if registering in municipal housing not with close relatives);
get a passport instead (valid for 30 days) and wait for the results;

After a request for an extract has been sent, the procedures for its consideration and decision have been made, the applicant will be sent a written notification that the extract and registration are ready. After this, you need to go and exchange your temporary ID for a passport with registration.

Periods of registration at the place of stay

Russian citizens who live outside their place of permanent residence for more than 90 days must register at their place of residence (without deregistration).

Foreigners who come to the Russian Federation for one reason or another also need to register at their address. In accordance with the Law of the Russian Federation No. 109-FZ and the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 9 of January 15, 2007, foreigners who have received or issued a visa must register their residence within seven days.

For CIS citizens (for example, from Ukraine), who have the right to visa-free entry into Russia and received a migration card at the entrance, it is also advisable to register within 7 days (although they can stay in the Russian Federation for 90 days without registration), submit and then register according to place of residence.

Individual cases: birth of a child and discharge “to nowhere”

In the event that a child is born to citizens registered at the place of residence, after receiving it, he can be registered at the same address as the parents (the permission of the landlord or other residents in this case is not necessary). This will give the child the opportunity to apply for social programs, a queue for kindergarten, etc. The deadlines remain the same.

Sometimes in practice there are statements “to nowhere”. A citizen is selling an apartment, but he will have his own home in a year or two. In this case, he writes a personal application to be discharged from his old address, and will live with relatives, friends or acquaintances.

A number of categories - missing persons, deceased citizens, as well as those who are serving in the Armed Forces, serving a sentence or have lost the right to reside at a given address, also fall into this category.

How long can you live without registration in your passport without breaking the law?

Residence without a permanent residence stamp in the passport will be considered legal if the seven-day period for submission and documents is not exceeded. After submitting an application, it can be reviewed from three to eight days (excluding weekends and holidays).

If you move to another city, this period may be increased:

at the time of moving from the place of previous residence;
while waiting for a response to a request from the registration authority from the place of previous residence. The wait can last from several days to a month, and the applicant will use a temporary certificate.

Thus, the applicant can live without a residence permit without violating the law for 8 to 30 days or more, depending on the circumstances.

If there is a confirmed valid reason (purchase of housing - sales contract, business trip - travel certificate, hospital treatment - certificate), this period can be extended.

As for the period of registration at the place of stay, it is 90 days. A situation is possible when a citizen can move to another place on the 89th day and live there for another 89 days without registration, and so on.

Fines for non-compliance

It would seem, what difference does it make where you are registered and live permanently? Especially if you often change your place of residence. But everything is not so simple - the state obliges everyone to register their place of residence

to receive up-to-date information about the location of each person in real time.

How will they check that you do not live at your registration address? This is a secondary issue. But if, nevertheless, a discrepancy between the residential address and the actual registration is discovered, both the citizen himself and the owner of the property will have to pay a fine, if the apartment is rented.

The fine is impressive:

If we are talking about a person who has violated the registration deadlines, then the fine will be from 3 to 5 thousand rubles. in Moscow or St. Petersburg, and from 2 to 3 thousand rubles. when living in any other region of the country.
If we are talking about a landlord who allowed an unregistered person to live, then the fine will be 5-7 thousand rubles. in cities of federal significance and 3-5 thousand in other cities of the Russian Federation.
For legal entities, the fines are even higher: 300-800 thousand in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and 50-750 thousand for other settlements of the country.

The amount of the fine will depend on the length of the overdue period and the circumstances

, due to which the actual registration was checked.

As you can see, it is better to spend a couple of hours of your own time than to pay such fines. Moreover, the procedure is quite simple and you can arrange everything yourself.

There is nowhere to register: how possible is a full life in this case?

To understand why registration in a passport is needed, it will be enough just to name a few reasons why a person’s life without registration can turn into complete hell, and solving simple everyday problems into pressing and intractable problems.

Restrictions on obtaining credits and loans

In order to be able to obtain a loan or credit from a bank, permanent registration is required. Many banks may additionally require borrowers to have permanent residence in the region where the bank itself is located.

Registration at the place of residence (temporary) will allow you to take out a loan, provided that your passport contains a stamp indicating permanent registration in another region. If this is not the case, then at best the loan will be issued for a period that will not exceed the duration of the temporary registration.

In this case, there is a way out for Sberbank clients who participate in salary projects and pensioners who receive payments on cards. Such categories can receive a consumer loan without a time limit.

It should be noted that credit restrictions are not the worst thing that can happen if you don’t have a registration date in your passport.

Lack of access to social programs, services and paperwork

Particularly serious consequences in the absence of registration in the passport will be felt when it is necessary to apply for social benefits or obtain the necessary document. Practice shows that without registration in the passport it will be impossible to:

apply for medical services (we are not talking about emergency medical care), register for medical services at a local clinic, obtain a health insurance policy;
design ;
register with the tax office;
get a well-paid job;
obtain a driver's license;
register the car;
apply for a pension;
receive social benefits;
register your child for kindergarten or school.

In addition, we should not forget that a meeting with law enforcement officials may result in a fine for living without registration.

What is permanent and temporary registration?

Permanent registration (in everyday life, residents of Russia, out of habit, call it propiska) means registration at a person’s place of permanent residence. The presence of such registration is evidenced by a special stamp in the civil passport.

When a citizen is forced to travel outside his region to another and plans to stay there for more than three months, he should register at his location.

This registration is called registration at the place of residence or temporary.

Answering the question whether a mark is placed in the passport during temporary registration, it should be said that in this case no stamps are placed in the passport, but a paper temporary passport supplement is issued. The permanent registration stamp is retained.

How to register?

According to the latest innovations, during the registration process at a new address, the previous registration is automatically canceled. Therefore, a citizen needs to contact the authorized migration departments

(OVM) related to the territorial divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to change the current place of registration.

You can apply to change registration yourself if you are a homeowner, or use the services of third parties

if the property is rented. These may include:

housing department employees;
authorized persons of housing cooperatives, homeowners' associations, residential complexes or representatives of the management organization;
MFC employees;
home owner.

Important! Submitting documents and obtaining registration is a free service

. Hiring third parties to represent you may incur additional costs.

What is the procedure for obtaining permanent and temporary registration?

The procedure for registration and deregistration is developed in detail in the relevant regulations and rules. The algorithm of actions if it is necessary to put a stamp in the passport about registration at the place of residence is as follows:

leave your previous place of residence. To do this, you need to contact the registration authority where the previous registration took place, with a statement of intention to change your place of permanent residence and hand over your passport with the stamp of your old registration;
three days later, go back to the department, get a passport with a note about deregistration and;
appear at the registration authority at your new residence address. Before stamping a residence permit in a passport, civil servants must obtain a passport, departure sheet, completed forms and other documents from the applicant. The applicant is informed of the date when it will be possible to pick up the passport with a new stamp.

The procedure for obtaining temporary registration is in many ways similar, but also has serious differences:

removal from permanent registration is not necessary - the stamp in the passport is not canceled;
no departure sheet required;
the period for verifying submitted data may increase from three to eight days;
in hotels, houses for visitors, campsites, tourist centers and similar institutions, registration is carried out by the administration immediately upon the arrival of the visitor;
the registration period is established by agreement with the tenant (in the state fund and municipal buildings) or the owner of the property;
The temporary registration stamp is not affixed to the passport. The applicant receives a paper certificate of temporary registration.

In both the first and second cases, this service is provided free of charge and not paid.

It is up to you personally to decide what to do if there is no registration in your passport. The registration procedure, as a rule, does not cause any particular difficulties (if you have the necessary package of documents).

What documents may a citizen of the Russian Federation need when applying for registration?

The list of documents required for registration is given in the Administrative Regulations.

To register at your place of stay you must provide:

passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
;
statement according to f. No. 1;

The application must be signed by the applicant and the owner/occupier;
, the owner’s consent to temporary residence and other justifications for the right to temporary residence at this address.

To register at your place of residence you need:

passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
statement according to f. No. 6

when submitted by mail - Form No. 1 PR;
documents that give the right to move into a given address: purchase and sale agreement, state registration certificate, move-in warrant, relevant certificates;
house register (for the private sector);
Departure sheet (for citizens who have deregistered at their old place of residence).

Citizens under 14 years of age will need a birth certificate instead of a passport. When registering a newborn child, you are additionally required to provide parents and parental passports.

We recommend that you familiarize yourself with it in more detail.

Where should I go to apply for registration?

To register, you must visit in person or through a legal representative:

to the territorial department of the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation at the citizen’s place of residence;
to the multifunctional center.

Information about addresses, reception schedules, days off and other information can be obtained on the websites and. Before your visit, it is advisable to make an appointment online (this will save you from waiting in lines).

Applying for registration online

You can submit an application for registration via the Internet. To do this you need:

on the GUVM page of the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, indicate “State services of the GUVM of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation”;
from the list ;
in the tab that opens, read the information and click “Get this service online”;
on the next page, select service options and the method of submitting an application (electronically), click “Get class=”aligncenter” width=”1300″ height=”699″[/img]

After these operations, you will be redirected to the State Services website. Having entered your personal account, you will need to fill out an application online (including entering passport data, documents that prove the right to reside at the specified address), select a notification method (SMS, email).

After checking the data, a notification will be sent to the specified address about the date and time of the visit to the Main Department of Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for registration.

How long does it take to complete and for how long is it taken away?

How many days it takes to register depends on the method and place of application . You can send an application:

Through the Gosuluga website. After receiving the application, employees must set a date and time for admission to the FMS within 3 days. The registration of registration itself takes place on the day of application.
By Russian Post. An application sent by mail must be notarized, which is an additional cost. Registration is carried out by the Federal Migration Service within 3 days from the date of receipt of the application.
Personal visit. When visiting the Federal Migration Service, registration is carried out within three days in accordance with Order No. 984 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation dated December 31, 2017. When contacting the MFC, this period increases almost 2 times and is 8 days.

Confiscation of a passport for registration of a new place of residence is a legal procedure . Instead, the citizen is given a receipt indicating the full name and period of seizure.

If more complex situations arise, when the period for consideration of the case for a new registration is more than 10 days, the state body of the Federal Migration Service issues a temporary identity card, into which a photograph is pasted and basic information is indicated. The validity period of such a certificate is limited to a month.

Where is the registration stamped in the passport?

The passport is stamped only with registration at the place of residence; registration at the place of residence is reflected in the certificate. The page of the passport with registration (on which the registration stamp will be affixed) is not specifically established by law. For this purpose, the Russian passport has eight pages – from the fifth to the twelfth. When deregistering, a corresponding stamp will be affixed here.

We invite you to learn in more detail about the structure of a Russian passport, the nature of the information entered into it, as well as about.

The legislative framework

The mandatory registration is regulated by the Law of the Russian Federation No. 5242-1 of June 25, 1993. Article 5 of this normative act establishes the rules for registration and deadlines for this procedure.

When leaving a previous address, registration must be issued within 7 days from the date of deregistration. But the law allows you to register while maintaining your main place of residence within 90 days from the date of moving. It is permitted to obtain temporary or permanent registration. A person’s rights are not infringed in any way, even if he is not permanently registered. With temporary registration, you can also receive pension benefits, subsidies for children, study and work in government or commercial structures.

Registration can be declared invalid only if it was carried out in violation of the law, such as the lack of permission from the owner or the established fictitiousness of the procedure.

An error was made when registering in your passport: what to do in this case

The situation when registration workers make mistakes when affixing a registration stamp is quite common. In a number of cases, employees of the registration authority stamp the passport “Canceled” and put a new one with the correct data entered.

Another option: the old stamp is crossed out, “Wrong” is entered, and then a new one is affixed.

The problem is that, in accordance with the Administrative Regulations, no corrections can be made to the passport, the “Cancelled” stamp is not provided for it (FMS order No. 339 of December 7, 2007), and the corrections made and extraneous entries make the passport illegitimate. Therefore, in this case, you only need to change your passport. Depending on whose fault the mistake was made, the issue of state duty will be decided.

Confirmation of registration

Registration is an official procedure that is carried out by a citizen when submitting an approved package of documents to the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

All actions are carried out in strict accordance with established legal standards and must be recorded in a certain order.

The registration of a person is confirmed by filling out special forms by passport officers, which are subsequently stored in the departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and after losing their relevance in the archives. The information is entered into electronic databases, to which authorized representatives of government bodies have access. When checking information about a person, it is his registration data that is first looked at.

Although the 21st century is considered the computer era, in which access to any information is simplified, this does not negate the obligation of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to issue registered citizens confirmation of the fact of registration.

Lack of registration in the passport: what to do

The absence of a registration stamp in a passport is not a reason to consider it invalid (sometimes it happens that when exchanging documents, registration was not added to the new passport). A citizen enjoys the same scope of rights and freedoms as others. The administrative regulations clearly state that when receiving a passport, you must provide information about your permanent or temporary place of residence. Therefore, the lack of registration can be considered a violation of this regulation.

At the same time, with temporary registration, a stamp is not affixed to the passport, but a paper certificate is issued (this is about whether a passport can be issued without registration).

A different situation arises when a citizen deregisters and does not obtain a new registration. In this case, he violates the law and may be subject to administrative liability in the form of a fine, so the more correct solution would be to legalize his residence as soon as possible.

Additional ways to submit documents

If the homeowner does not have time to wait in line at the Ministry of Internal Affairs office, then you can choose one of the more modern options: submit an application through State Services or the MFC

To work with the State Services portal, you must have a personal account. In it you can choose one of two options:

Fill out the application and attach copies of documents. After submitting the application, the system will generate a ticket for an authorized employee to visit. You will need to come to him and present the original documents. After verification of the originals, a registration stamp will be placed in the passport.
Receive a pass to visit the OMV. At the specified time, you will only have to come and submit the original documents. The employee will issue a document acceptance coupon and keep your passport. You will be able to pick up the documents in 3 days.

If you choose the method of submitting documents for registration through the MFC, you will have to be patient. You need to contact the multifunctional center that is geographically related to your department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and provide the specified package of documents. Clients are served on a first-come, first-served basis and it takes no more than 15-20 minutes. The period for receiving documents will be increased by the period of sending your documents

to the authorized department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

As you can see, the procedure is simple and does not require special knowledge. It is important to remember only to meet deadlines. Sometimes, in order to carry out the registration procedure in a timely manner, especially for those who have moved to large cities, it is necessary to turn to third parties to speed up the process

. In this case, it is worth finding a responsible organization with an impeccable reputation in advance.
