Moving is an important moment in the life of every person. However, positive impressions can be overshadowed by a large amount of paperwork associated with changing an apartment. The main document that every person needs to receive in a new place is a registration certificate. The procedure for completing this paper has many nuances. One of the controversial issues is the state fee for registration, so those moving should understand this issue in advance in order to quickly and without unnecessary problems obtain registration.
Registration procedure
You can obtain a registration certificate when visiting a branch of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Multifunctional Center. The paperwork procedure is the same in both cases. To obtain a new temporary or permanent residence permit, you must complete the following steps.
- Collect the necessary documents.
- Visit the selected institution and write a corresponding application.
- Hand over the prepared documents to the department employee and receive a certificate of their acceptance.
When the application has been verified and processed, you need to re-visit the MFC or GUVM to pick up your passport. It must indicate a new registration. If the applicant does not have an identity card, he will be issued a registration certificate.
Required documents
Before visiting the selected branch, the applicant must collect documents for registration. For adult citizens, this list is as follows:
- an application for receiving a service completed in the appropriate form;
- passport;
- a document confirming the applicant’s right to register in a certain territory.
If a person wants to register for a living space that belongs to another owner, the owner of the square meters will need to be personally present during the procedure. He will also need to write an application and bring his passport with him.
The exact list of required documentation for a specific situation should be clarified in advance at the selected multifunctional center or GUVM.
Registration deadlines
Typically, applicants are concerned with the question: “How long does it take to register at a new place of residence?” This is an important point that is worth understanding, since in the absence of registration and its delay, sanctions will be imposed on the citizen.
The time frame for obtaining registration at both the MFC and the Main Department of Migration is from 3 to 8 working days. The duration of the procedure depends on the need to verify documents confirming the right to dispose of residential premises.
De-registration of citizens
The timing of deregistration of a person at his former place of residence directly depends on the method of performing the procedure.
The fastest option is immediate registration in another housing.
By filing this request with the Federal Migration Service, the applicant has the opportunity to be deregistered at the previous address automatically.
Discharging a person to nowhere, for example, if the owner has sold an apartment, obliges him to go through a full procedure of contacting the Federal Migration Service at his place of residence and writing a corresponding application.
In this case, the waiting period for the return of a passport with an extract stamp should not exceed 3 days from the date of acceptance of the request.
It will take about 3 days to issue an extract through the State Services service. After processing the request, the citizen is invited to the migration services office to verify documents and confirm the procedure.
By place of stay
When moving to a new home for a short period of time, there is no point in registering permanently. Instead, the applicant can receive a certificate at the place of residence. At the same time, there is no state duty for temporary registration.
To obtain registration at the place of residence, in addition to basic information, you need to provide the department with information about permanent registration, as well as a document indicating the grounds for temporary residence. They may be a rental agreement or a statement from the person providing the living space. You will also need to indicate the main reason for the relocation.
Do people moving need to pay for temporary registration? The answer to this question is positive only for foreigners.

Payment of the state registration fee must be carried out by the applicant, since the receipt will indicate his personal data and signature. If money is transferred from a bank card, it must also belong to the person requesting the service.
Federal Law No. 221-FZ, which came into force on January 1, 2015, determines the state fee for permanent and temporary registration at 350 rubles for citizens arriving from foreign countries. However, it does not depend on the age of the applicant and the type of property in which the person wants to live.
A receipt for payment of the state registration fee is provided to the employees of the selected branch of the MFC or GUVM along with other documents.

Fine for lack of registration
Those who do not issue a certificate on time are subject to a fine for lack of registration at their place of residence or stay. This rule is regulated by Article 19.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The size of the fine depends on the region in which the offense was recorded:
- in cities that are constituent entities of the Russian Federation, it is 3-5 thousand rubles;
- in other regions – 2-3 thousand rubles.
Sanctions are also imposed on owners of housing who provide it to persons without registration.
Area standards for residents
The law does not set a limit for registered persons in a privatized apartment, however, simultaneous residence is permissible only if the real estate has a sufficient amount of m2 (you can find out how many people can be registered in a regular apartment here).
Reference! The standard area for one resident is at least 12 m2. However, the minimum value may vary depending on the region where registration is made.
This condition is also met when a communal apartment is provided for use under a social tenancy agreement (LC RF, Article 70), but the number registered here is strictly limited. Municipalities strictly monitor the ratio of the number of residents to the total living space.
With similar meticulousness, state owners also check the fact of a person’s residence in an apartment, eliminating the possibility of fictitious registration. They also prohibit the registration of registration for foreigners under a social tenancy agreement (LC RF, Article 49, paragraph 5).
If there are several owners, in order to register a person who is not a relative, the consent of all owners of shares in the communal apartment will be required .
Our experts have prepared a lot of useful information on the topic of registration, and not only in the communal room. You can find it in the following publications:
