The BTI technical passport is the main documentation required for approval of redevelopment by the Moscow Housing Inspectorate. The most important thing in it is the apartment plan with an explanation, on the basis of which approval for repairs will be issued. It is very important that the technical passport data matches the real situation in the apartment.
In the article we will tell you what a technical passport for an apartment is, what it looks like, where you can get it, in what cases you need to call a BTI technician at home and when this is not necessary.
What is a technical passport of an apartment?
A registration certificate for an apartment is a document that contains all the information about the building in which the apartment is located, as well as about the apartment itself. It has no legal force and is a primary document with information about the results of the inventory. The technical passport contains:
- house address, inventory number;
- situational plan - the house is marked with an outline on the map;
- floor plan of the apartment - your layout relative to neighboring apartments is shown;
- explication - listing all the rooms in your apartment, including loggias and balconies, closets and dressing rooms;
- detailed description of the apartment - total area and area of individual rooms, ceiling height, description of the loggia or balcony;
- information about the building - year of construction, type of heating, etc.;
- date of the last technical inspection of the apartment.
By law, it is not necessary to regularly update the data in it. But if the apartment has been remodeled or communications have been moved, a window or opening has moved, the floor plan has changed (for example, old pipes have been replaced with new ones), then updating the technical data is necessary.
Today, it is not necessary to have a paper registration certificate on hand to approve repairs. The main thing is that the apartment is registered with the BTI. The Moscow Housing Inspectorate itself will request a technical passport when it begins to consider your application for redevelopment, check that the BTI plan coincides with the data of the redevelopment project, and issue its decision.
Legislative regulation of the issue
It is formed by BTI employees only after a special primary inventory, carried out immediately after the house is put into operation.
This takes into account who exactly was involved in the construction :
- if a house is being built by a developer represented by a company, then its representative must receive the paper;
- if a house is being built by a private person, then the owner of the building is obliged to independently deal with all technical issues.
The technical passport contains detailed and reliable information about housing , and after studying it you can find out the following information:
- the exact address of the property, number of floors, area and year of construction, as well as the purpose of the building;
- home owners;
- technical plan of the structure, and it certainly shows all the load-bearing elements, utility networks, window and door openings, ventilation system shafts and laid drainage;
- explication of premises;
- information about the existing layout, as well as about the reconstruction carried out;
- the inventory value determined by BTI employees is indicated.
No real estate transaction can be carried out in the absence of this document, so it is required in many cases.
It is with the presence of a technical passport that various disputes regarding property can be resolved.
In 2021, Federal Law No. 218 , on the basis of which the Unified Register of Real Estate is now applied. In this case, the accounting of objects is carried out on the basis of the information contained in Federal Law No. 221. The legal basis for the emerging cadastral relations is indicated here.

Document types
After the construction of housing, it is necessary to complete various types of paperwork:
- Technical documents for housing - technical passport and cadastral, technical plan;
- Title papers – certificate of ownership, real estate contract (exchange, purchase and sale, rent, donation, shared division), certificate of inheritance, deed of transfer of property;
- Supporting documents – certificate of ownership, extract from the register.
Differences between a technical passport and other documents
You can confuse a technical passport for an apartment with a technical plan or cadastral passport. These are three different documents:
- The technical plan includes technical information about the object, reference to the building and area, and contains a satellite photograph with the location of the object.
- The cadastral passport contains information displayed in the address register, as well as the object number in the unified building registration system.
- The BTI technical passport is a plan indicating the length of each wall in the apartment, listing absolutely all rooms, and the location of utilities.
The technical passport is the primary main document containing comprehensive technical information about any apartment. To register it for an apartment in a new building, you need an architectural plan from the developer . Here's what it looks like:
This is what the information on the house looks like from the cadastral passport :
Here is an example of a technical passport :
Recovery
Documents are often lost or destroyed for various reasons. In this case, they need to be restored. To do this, you can also contact the BTI by writing a corresponding application. A duplicate is issued within a few days.
Thus, the registration certificate is an important document for any home. It contains the most important information about the structure and is also issued by the BTI. You can get it in different ways, for which you will certainly need to pay a state fee. It must be reissued for any major changes in the design of the structure.
The purpose and rules of execution of the document discussed in our article are described in the following video:
Registration certificate for an apartment in a new building
Obtaining a technical passport for an apartment in a new building is the responsibility of the owner. The developer himself rarely registers the house with the BTI; he only registers the new building with the cadastral register.
To carry out an initial inventory and obtain a technical passport for an apartment you need:
- obtain from the developer an architectural plan according to which the house was built;
- pay the state fee and call a BTI technician to take measurements and compare your apartment with the architectural plan data;
- get a BTI plan.
The first difficulty is that when visiting the apartment, the technician may not find some walls that are in the document from the developer. This threatens the appearance of “red lines” in terms of BTI. You will have to erect walls that the developer had in the project, and legalize redevelopment that you did not even do. This is the only way you can get a BTI plan in black lines.
Read detailed instructions on how to obtain an apartment plan for a new building here. There we also tell you why under no circumstances should you prepare a registration certificate yourself for an apartment with an “open” layout.
If the current condition of the apartment corresponds to the developer’s architectural plan, you will receive a plan in black lines, and you can begin redevelopment.
The second problem is the errors of the BTI itself. Measurements may be carried out incorrectly, and this causes difficulties in coordinating redevelopment. Errors may “pop up” at a late stage of legalization, and then you will first have to correct the BTI plan, and then start the approval almost all over again.
Floor plan of the BTI apartment, on which the errors we found are marked along the red lines. The plan turned out to incorrectly indicate the window in room No. 2 and the balcony in room No. 1. Our engineers noticed this after visiting the apartment and comparing the plan issued by the BTI to the owner.
And this is what the technical plan of the BTI looks like for a new building without “red lines”. Having received it, you can immediately begin work on the redevelopment:
Before ordering any documents from the BTI for an apartment purchased in a new building, we advise you to first contact us.
We understand what needs to be done to obtain the correct technical data sheet without errors and “red lines”, with which the designer and designer can then work.
We will also receive a cadastral plan and an architectural plan for the developer for you in order to begin the preparation of a technical passport, and we will also detect errors made by the BTI in time.
