Registration means place of permanent residence (permanent residence). If you move to another city or region, the law requires you to register at your place of residence or stay. These concepts differ in that the first implies permanent residence, and the second - temporary. They are issued in different ways: with a stamp in the passport or by issuing a certificate without making changes to the identity document. It is the change of registration that determines which documents to change. Their number depends on various circumstances.

Passport and identity documents
You do not need to change your passport, but you will need to enter current information about your place of residence. The stamp is affixed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs (formerly to the Federal Migration Service, but now their functions have been transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs).
It is not necessary to contact them directly; a visit to:
- Passport Office;
- MFC.
To affix a stamp, you need to write an application and attach the basis for moving into and living in a new apartment or house (purchase agreement, extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate). If the owner does not move in, then the presence of the legal owner is required. A certificate from your place of residence is not required.
The process is a little delayed due to the fact that the designated bodies work as intermediaries between the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the citizen. The service period is 3–5 days.
It is not necessary to deregister at your previous place of registration. A visitor to the passport office simultaneously fills out two applications: one for deregistration, it is sent to the authority that put the previous registration mark, the second - for registration.
Other documents used for personal identification - birth certificate and temporary identity card - do not change.
Don't change
In some cases, changing the place of permanent registration does not require the citizen’s attention. This applies to the following types of documents:
- birth certificate;
- SNILS;
- temporary certificate;
- driver's license - its validity is not limited to certain regions of the country;
- an individual tax number (TIN) is assigned once for life;
These documents do not require changes when obtaining a new permanent residence permit.
Military ID
The responsibilities of men include military registration. Having changed their place of residence, they must attach themselves to the military commissariat serving the area of their new residence and present a passport.
The military registration and enlistment office will independently send a request for deregistration at the previous place of residence. The period is one working week, the service is provided free of charge.
What is meant by registration
Registration at the place of residence is a standard procedure that allows the state to control the movement of Russian citizens. Its presence indicates that a person is attached to a specific territorial area where he permanently resides. You can register at the administration.
There are 2 registration options:
- permanent – gives the right to reside at the specified address for an unlimited period of time:
- temporary – grants a person the opportunity to freely use living space in one area for 90 days.
Important! A change of registration means a change in permanent place of residence, not temporary. Only then is it necessary to take any action with personal papers.
Vehicle registration certificate
Transport documents must be changed when changing your place of registration. The vehicle registration certificate indicates the place of residence. Moreover, the tax is calculated based on this data, so it is necessary to update the documents for the car.
The PTS is also being updated. A corresponding entry is made in the document, but if there is only one free field left in it, then it is replaced.
The service is provided by the traffic police and requires the following documents:
- passport;
- OSAGO policy;
- vehicle registration certificate;
- PTS.
Replacing the certificate will cost 500 rubles. Changes must also be made to the insurance policy and the tax office must be notified of the change in permanent residence for the correct calculation of tax.
It doesn’t take long to change documents at the traffic police: new ones are issued on the day you apply. For violation of the obligation to update information, the car owner may be fined.
Situations when it is necessary to notify the relevant services
Not all documents need to be completely changed when moving to another address. However, in some cases it is recommended to notify the appropriate authorities. Indicative list:
- When receiving social benefits delivered to your home, the social protection authority is informed. But even if social funds are received on a bank card, it would be a good idea to notify social security about the change of address.
- Individual personal account (SNILS) cannot be exchanged. However, the PF will need to be informed. This applies to all Russians: able-bodied and pensioners. This is especially important for those who receive pensions at their place of residence. To change information in the pension base, you need to write an application for making adjustments. This procedure usually takes about 3 days.
- Renewing a plastic card or credit agreement is not necessary, but it is worth notifying the bank. Then the client will be able to promptly receive up-to-date information about new tariffs and ongoing promotions. If the cardholder moves to another region, then the cards (credit and debit) should be changed.
- The TIN remains the same and no manipulations need to be done on it. The tax office is notified only if the surname is changed or the certificate is lost. In this case, a state duty of 200 rubles is charged.
In order to freely receive medical services at the clinic at your current place of residence, you should write an application and send it to the Compulsory Medical Insurance service. But first they take the medical card from the previous clinic and refuse further service. Then they await attachment to the new hospital, which will happen after written approval of the application by the head physician. No state duty is paid for this.
Regarding the compulsory medical insurance policy, they visit the insurance service, where they check the data and, if there are any amendments, show their registration for identification. Then the visitor fills out a standard form, according to which the corresponding changes are made to the register, and a new stamp is placed on the form. All this takes about a month. This procedure is not mandatory, but allows the insurer to be aware of the relocation of its clients. If at your new place of residence they refuse to provide medical care under the old policy, then this is illegal and it is recommended to file a complaint with the insurance company branch.
Compulsory medical insurance policy
The compulsory health insurance policy does not need to be changed; it is valid throughout the country, regardless of where its owner lives. However, there is a small nuance. On the reverse side there are lines with marks affixed by the insurance company.
After moving and getting a stamp in the passport, the insured person must report to the insurer (anyone, regardless of which company issued the policy). An insurance company employee fills out an application, which the client signs, and, based on the information taken from the passport, enters the information into the regional database.
These actions facilitate settlements between medical institutions and insurance companies, relieving the former of interregional requests. For the insured person, the absence of a mark is not a basis for refusal to provide medical services .
Who needs to be notified?
After registration, you should contact the clinic in order to register and get a card for services there. A mandatory requirement is to notify banks and insurance companies if a citizen has loans and insurance. This condition is specified in the loan or insurance agreement, so the borrower must follow the prescribed rules and contact the banking or insurance organization to enter information about his new location.
If a person is entitled to a pension benefit, then he needs to notify the territorial office of the Pension Fund. In accordance with current legislation, the responsibility for notifying authorities about a new registration rests with registration service employees. If necessary, the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will make all necessary notifications to the structures.
Documents for weapons
Changing your place of residence or registration requires updating your weapons permit. So, when moving, you are given 2 weeks to reissue the specified document.
This operation involves preparing:
- act of checking the conditions for ensuring safety;
- 2 photographs per unit (3x4 format);
- copy of the passport;
- a copy of the weapons permit.
The documents should be submitted to the licensing and permitting department, where a new permit will be issued.
Price
To successfully complete actions aimed at entering other information related to registration, you need to pay the amount established by the state:
replacing information in a document confirming ownership will cost 350 rubles - this is the cost of the state duty;- entering other information into a military ID is a free procedure;
- The state duty for making adjustments to the vehicle passport is 500 rubles;
- Registration at the Pension Fund branch is a free procedure.
Lawyer's recommendations
Replacement of documents and their updating are important obligations. Violation of them may result in fines. And in some cases, out of ignorance, you will have to overpay, for example, to banks.

Should I change bank cards when changing my registration?
The answer depends on how much your registration has changed. As a rule, the same service tariffs apply within the same region. And when traveling to another region, they may increase. In addition, when withdrawing cash and transferring to “local” cards, a commission is charged.
To avoid unnecessary payments, it is recommended to contact the bank and find out the details of the tariff plan and cost of service. At significant costs, get a new card. But, as a rule, this is not required.
What threatens a citizen for refusing to re-register papers?
If a citizen moved, but did not immediately start re-registering some documentation, then according to the law he is not punished in any way. Penalties are imposed only in certain cases:
- military ID – 500 rubles;
- STS per car – 2 thousand rubles.
Attention! A citizen is not prohibited from residing in a specific territory and not reporting this to legislative structures for 3 months. Then it is mandatory to officially record your stay. If they ignore their duties to the state, offenders face a fine of 2 to 3 thousand rubles .
Where can I change
You can choose where to go to register at your new address. It could be:
- Passport Office;
- FMS (Federal Migration Service);
- MFC (multifunctional center);
- Housing office or management company;
- through the State Services website.
Any of the above institutions will accept documents, which in any case will be verified with the data available to the Federal Migration Service, where they make the final decision on changing the account address.
Now you know the algorithm of actions, as well as what documents are needed to change your registration. Therefore, this procedure will not cause any difficulties.
