Almost all state and municipal services are burdened with serious paperwork. Concluding contracts and conducting certain transactions also oblige participants in transactions to prepare certain certificates. Often among them are documents confirming registration at the place of residence. What kind of paper is this? Where can I apply for it? Below we will tell you everything about the migration registration of the population of the Russian Federation and about confirming the place of residence of a person.
About registration
To confirm registration at the place of residence, a person must first obtain a residence permit. Without this, the corresponding statements will not be issued. With proper preparation, no special problems with migration registration will arise.
In Russia it is customary to distinguish:
- temporary registration;
- permanent registration.
In the first case, the place of residence is assigned to a person for a certain period of time, in the second - on a permanent basis.
Important: temporary registration does not allow you to participate in the privatization of municipal housing. Permanent registration gives the corresponding right.
Registration at place of residence
Registration at the place of residence is what is popularly called propiska. In other words, a mark of permanent residence at a specific address, which is placed in. If he moves, he must, accordingly, register at his new place of residence.
However, in our legislation there is also such a thing as registration at the place of residence. The name more familiar to the average person is temporary registration/registration. It is issued by those who, for example, moved to another city or region for a while. However, to obtain such registration it is necessary to obtain the consent of all owners of the residential premises.
Find out in more detail what information the registration mark contains and why it is needed.
How to register
A document confirming registration at the applicant’s place of residence will be issued only if there are appropriate grounds. While a citizen does not have a residence permit, he will not be able to obtain the certificates being studied.
To register you will need:
- Prepare a number of documents to implement the task. If a person wants to live in someone else’s home, he must obtain the consent of all apartment owners to carry out the procedure.
- Contact the registration authority with a petition in the prescribed form. We’ll talk about where you can apply for registration later. Usually, it is proposed to order the bulk of registration statements from the relevant authorities.
- At the appointed time, pick up your registration certificates. If permanent registration is issued, all that remains is to put a stamp of the established form on the identity card.
As a rule, difficulties arise when collecting the relevant papers for migration registration. If the procedure is completed, obtaining a document confirming registration at the place of residence will not be difficult.
When a certificate may be required
There are quite a few situations in which a certificate of registration at the place of residence may be required. These include:
- Applying for various benefits, benefits and compensation;
- Registration at a medical institution, or in the case of obtaining preferential conditions for treatment;
- Appeal to judicial authorities;
- Registration with municipal authorities in order to improve living conditions;
- Cases of change in civil status (for example, marriage);
- Contacting the tax office;
- Entry into inheritance in cases where confirmation of the residence of the deceased testator at a specific address is required;
- Registration of a child for school;
- Obtaining a social mortgage;
- Employment;
- Military registration.
Important! The place of residence of minor children will be the same as that of their parents. The same principle applies to incapacitated persons; their place of residence will coincide with the place of residence of their guardians.
Certificates for registration
But before studying the relevant extracts, it is worthwhile to finish familiarizing yourself with the registration procedure in Russia. As already mentioned, in order for the service to be provided in accordance with the established rules of migration registration, it is necessary to prepare a certain package of statements.
It usually includes:
- passports of all participants in the operation;
- consent of the owner (and all owners, if there are several of them) for registration;
- application of the established form;
- title documents for an apartment or house.
Additionally, when registering children you need:
- consent of the second parent to register not with him;
- certificates of registration of the legal representative with whom the minor will live;
- birth certificates of the baby.
Important: the owner’s consent is not required to register a child with a parent.
Foreigners are becoming more and more common in Russia. They also need registration. To complete it, in addition to the previously listed documents, you need to attach:
- translation of all previously specified extracts into Russian;
- migration card;
- RVP/residence permit or other certificate confirming the legality of stay on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Now you can find out what documents confirming registration at the place of residence are found in practice. We’ll also look at where and how to get them.
Algorithm of actions during registration
Do you need to confirm your registration at your place of residence? We have already listed the documents for bringing the idea to life. Now you have to understand exactly how to order the appropriate papers.
Let us consider the algorithm of actions using the example of a citizen’s personal appeal to certain authorities. The step-by-step instructions in this case are as follows:
- Prepare a certain package of documents. We have already become acquainted with their list.
- Contact one of the previously listed authorities.
- Fill out an application requesting the issuance of a particular certificate.
- Receive the original of the desired extract.
Everything is extremely simple, clear and fast. The main thing is to indicate in the application what kind of certificate you want to receive. The information reflected in the document will depend on this.
Short list
First of all, let's briefly review the necessary information. Often people do not suspect that they can confirm their place of residence with one or another civil document.
Today, the list of documents proving registration includes the following components:
- passport;
- certificates of ownership of property;
- USRN extracts;
- homeowner registration card;
- an agreement indicating the right of a citizen to move into an apartment (for example, a social tenancy agreement);
- a court ruling recognizing a person’s right to use a particular housing;
- extracts from house books;
- certificates of temporary registration;
- extracts from the personal account of the apartment.
Important: sometimes citizens highlight housing and communal services receipts and family composition certificates among the documents confirming the registration of a citizen at the place of residence.
Next, we will consider each statement separately. Obtaining the appropriate documentation in real life is not difficult.
Can they refuse to issue a certificate?
The issuance of a certificate of both registration at the place of residence and temporary registration at the place of stay may be refused. Refusal may be due to the following reasons:
- There are no documents proving the identity of the person who applied;
- There are no legal norms for document preparation;
- The person applying for the certificate refuses to provide the original documents required for issuing such a certificate;
- The archive does not contain the requested data;
- The applicant's application is filled out illegibly, making it difficult to read the information.
If the authority refuses to issue a certificate, this must be done in writing, indicating the reasons for the refusal. If the refusal, in the opinion of the applicant, is not lawful, he has the right to go to court to appeal. However, first a complaint can be submitted to the same body, but made in the name of the manager. A refusal will be illegal if it is related to debts for utilities. Civil servants do not have the right to put pressure on residents in this way; such a refusal has no legal basis.
Thus, obtaining a certificate of registration at your place of residence will not be difficult.
The main thing is to comply with the requirements for timely registration, and when applying for a certificate, correctly draw up an application and provide the necessary documents. Rate the quality of the article. We want to be better for you:
Certificates about family composition
The next important documentation is a certificate of family composition. It is usually called form No. 9.
In the corresponding extract, a citizen can see:
- Full name of all persons registered in the territory;
- degree of relationship with the applicant;
- dates of birth and registration;
- registration type.
This is exactly the paper that is asked for when registering a newborn for migration. Family composition certificate - a document confirming the registration of parents at the place of residence. It can be used to prove that the minor is not registered with a second legal representative.
Important: this certificate can be requested from the management companies servicing the house or from passport offices.
The validity period of the family composition document is not defined. In practice, it ranges from 10 to 30 days.
Help from the house register
The next document confirming registration at the place of residence/stay is a certificate from the house register. It can be requested from the MFC, Criminal Code or the Federal Migration Service.
In its content, an extract from the house register resembles a certificate of family composition. There are several types of relevant documentation:
- Regular statement. It contains information about the people registered in the apartment at the time of applying for the document.
- Archive transcript. This is an extract that indicates all registered and discharged citizens for a given period.
To obtain the appropriate paperwork, you will have to present a civil passport.
Additional confirmation documents
As already mentioned, you can confirm your place of residence and registration using various forms of statements. Depending on the circumstances, a citizen may be required to:
- Archival extract.
- Information about living family members.
- Established certificate.
However, more often people are required to have a passport and a certificate of a standard form.
Archive transcript
The certificate provided based on archival data has form No. 12. It is called archival. You can also obtain it through the MFC, passport office or other specified structure.
A significant difference between an archival extract is that it contains information not only about the direct applicant, but also about previously registered family members, indicating the registration period.
A standard document drawn up in Form No. 9 denotes only those who are registered for the current period of time.
Certificate of registration in form No. 9
Certificate for the child of registration at the place of residence
The document, drawn up in Form No. 8, is provided to minor citizens or persons with temporary registration.
Certificate form No. 8
The document confirms that the child or temporary resident is registered in the specified residential area. An extract is provided upon registration. If necessary, a duplicate may be issued.
Where can I get a certificate confirming your place of actual residence?
A certificate of actual place of residence (if it coincides with registration) can be obtained:
- At the passport office.
- In the multifunctional center.
- At the migration service.
- Service organization.
Form of certificate of residence at the place of residence
You should know that if residence and registration do not match, the citizen will have to contact the local police officer to draw up the appropriate act. In this case, a certificate of residence is not required.
Certificate of residence and family composition: what is the difference
Essentially there is no difference. Both statements are provided in the same form and have the same meaning. However, if necessary, a citizen can request a document only to confirm his own registration, without indicating other residents.
Extract for the deceased
When entering into an inheritance, citizens must provide an extract about the last place of registration of the deceased. This document is provided at the request of citizens by an authorized body.
Extract from the personal account
Where can I get a document confirming registration at the place of residence? There is no clear answer. The corresponding statements are often obtained from management companies at the place of residence or from migration services. Increasingly, people are turning to the MFC for help.
Sometimes, to indicate a person’s place of registration, an extract from the apartment’s personal account may be required. Here are written:
- information about the owner of the property;
- information about the apartment/house;
- information about people registered in the territory;
- details of payments received to the apartment’s personal account.
In fact, this version of documents confirming registration copies an extract from the house register. Only it will contain the details of the apartment account and payments received by the management company.
Passport and registration
Most often, permanent residence is confirmed by presenting an identity card. The passport has separate pages reserved for information about the place of registration of the person. Here you can see information about the citizen’s past housing and information about deregistration.
A copy of the relevant pages with registration stamps is not proof of registration. Therefore, you will have to bring it along with the original passport. There is no need to request a document separately.
Certificates of property rights
Sometimes a certificate of property rights can indicate the applicant’s registration. By law, a person is not required to register in existing housing, but often such an operation is neglected.
Recently, certificates of title to residential property have been abolished. Now it is impossible to obtain the relevant certificates. They were replaced by other certificates.
Registration certificate
Do you need a document confirming your child's registration at the place of residence? If we are talking about a minor under 14 years of age, you will have to face a certificate of the established form. It is issued by migration services and management companies at the time of registration of the child. The certificate must be kept in the hands of the child’s legal representatives.
If people have temporary registration, they will have to obtain a certificate of temporary registration from the previously mentioned authorities. It is drawn up on a special form and resembles a certificate of registration of the child at a particular address. Issued at the time of registration, after which it is kept in the hands of the residents.
Confirmation of registration
Almost everyone has at least once been faced with the need to collect documents that confirm that a citizen resides at a specified address legally. Before finding out what a document confirming registration at the place of residence looks like and what it is, you need to decide in what situations you definitely cannot do without it.
When is registration required?
You will have to take care of obtaining documents of this kind, for example, in the following cases:
- real estate transactions (purchase and sale, exchange, donation);
- entering registration information into a general passport (important: documents confirming registration at the place of residence are not needed for a passport, but, alas, it will not be possible to enter registration information without them);
- registration of a mortgage loan;
- assignment of various benefits and benefits in social protection departments;
- privatization of housing;
- resolving issues related to the calculation of utility bills.
Of course, this procedure involves some inconvenience in the form of running around to various authorities and wasting time, which is already not enough for anything. But those who require such documents (including banks, notaries, government agencies) can be understood: no one wants to carry out operations that may later be considered illegal.
What documents can confirm registration?
The list is quite extensive, so if you need to contact the relevant authorities, it is better to clarify in advance which document confirms registration at the place of residence in a particular situation. Here we will consider the most popular types of documents that are most often requested.
Certificate of registration form 9
This document (its second name is a registration card) reflects information about the owner of the premises, the persons who live and have lived at the specified address, and also contains information about the residential premises itself.
First, enter information about who the certificate is issued to (full name, date of birth, registration address), then the address of the premises. After this, it is mandatory to fill out a table containing the personal data of all registered residents (full name, year of birth, date or period of registration, degree of relationship with the owner).
The next block is information on the basis on which citizens live in an apartment/residential building (order, agreement, etc.), as well as information about the premises - the composition and footage of the living space.
However, all of the above information is not always required; sometimes just a table with a list of citizens registered at a given address is enough. But there is no consensus on this matter, so again it is better to clarify in advance what information is needed.
An important point is the validity period of the certificate. The fact is that it is not enshrined in law, but it just so happens that the document is considered valid for a month. But here, too, everything is not as simple as we would like: some organizations can reduce this period to 14 or even 10 days (they can be understood: the law does not say anything about this, but it does not prohibit setting their own rules). It is also recommended to clarify this issue before contacting authorized persons to issue a certificate.
Extract from the house register
An extract from the house register, like certificate No. 9, contains information about people registered at a specific address. However, the range of personal data contained in the table is somewhat wider: in addition to the full name, date and period of registration, passport data (issued by whom and when, date and place of birth) and citizenship are indicated.
There are two types of this document:
- a regular certificate reflects information about citizens registered in the premises at the time of registration;
- archived – contains information about everyone who has ever been registered at the address of interest.
Extract from financial and personal account
Another document that confirms the presence of registration at the address is an extract from the financial and personal account.
The document contains information about registered citizens (the same personal data is reflected as in the house register):
- owner/tenant;
- residential premises (address, area, number of rooms, degree of wear and tear of the house);
- level of well-being (availability of such amenities as sewerage, heating, electricity, water supply, gas).
In addition, financial information is also disclosed: data on payments for utility services, including the presence of debt.
Read on for more details on what a typical form looks like.
Certificate of ownership of residential premises
A certificate of ownership confirms not so much the registration of a citizen in the premises, but rather the right to dispose of real estate. The owner of an apartment or house does not necessarily have to be registered on these square meters, but he can sell/donate/exchange/bequeath his property at any time. Of course, this is legal only in the case of sole ownership, but if the property is shared, then you can freely dispose of only your share.
A certificate of title is issued by the Registrar's Office and contains information about the owner, the type of ownership of the property, and the presence of restrictions or encumbrances (for example, a mortgage).
The document must bear the stamp of the department and the signature of the state registrar.
Find out in more detail what it looks like.
Registration certificate
For those who have passports, everything is simple: registration information (in the form of a stamp indicating the registration address) is entered directly into the main document of the Russian citizen. But what about minors who only have at their disposal, and it is extremely difficult to make any marks on it? For those who have not yet reached the age when they can apply for a passport, a special document is provided containing information about the child’s registration at the place of residence - a registration certificate.
The certificate can be issued through a department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the State Services portal or by contacting the multifunctional center. The finished document does not contain much information:
- Child's full name;
- date of birth;
- registration address;
- date of issue;
- seal and signature of authorized persons.
An important point: the certificate can be issued both at the place of residence (permanent registration) and at the place of stay (temporary registration, maximum period - 5 years).
Find out more detailed information about the issuance procedure and the nuances of registration.
