Who is entitled to receive an address certificate?

A certificate of registration at the place of stay or residence is issued only to the citizen who requested the document, registered at the specified address, in person.

Note!

The place of residence of minors is the address of their parents or guardians. It is important to know this when preparing documents. The child's official representative must also collect the address certificate for the child.

Confidentiality and responsibility

Information about registration at the place of residence is classified as personal. For this reason, it cannot be distributed by anyone. Violation of confidentiality entails liability under Article 137 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Impact measures can be expressed in the form:

monetary fine;
forced, corrective or compulsory labor;
arrest or imprisonment.

Liability arises only if the person has not given his consent to the collection of such information.

Registration of place of residence is personal information . Accordingly, it is necessary to obtain the person’s consent if the data is needed by another person. At the same time, law enforcement agencies may request the specified data as part of an investigation in a criminal case. In order to find the necessary information, you can use not only your passport details or last name, but also your phone number. You can also get information via the Internet.

BTI certificates

Quite often, BTI certificates are issued that reflect the cost of an apartment on the market. These documents are necessary when buying or selling an apartment, donating it, entering into an inheritance, etc. Such a BTI certificate is valid for only a month, since during this time real estate prices change significantly. Often, when making a transaction, you have to obtain this certificate from the BTI several times. The price of an apartment indicated in the BTI certificate depends only on its area and does not depend on the location of the premises, the quality of repairs, etc., so in fact the real cost of the apartment turns out to be much higher. But it cannot be less, since it is impossible to set the price of the apartment lower than indicated in the BTI certificate.

One of the main tasks of the Moscow BTI is the preparation of BTI certificates, which are needed when making any official real estate transactions. Today, individuals and representatives of various organizations can receive the following BTI certificates upon written request:

Where is it issued?

A certificate of residence is issued only in government institutions. These include:

passport office at the place of registration;
MFC for the provision of state and municipal services;
departments of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In this authority, the certificate is issued in the form of a registration certificate;
management organization of an apartment building, homeowners association or housing department.

Important: If it is necessary to obtain confirmation that a citizen lived at a specific address some time ago, then the request is sent to the city archive through the administration of the locality. In this case, you will need to provide additional documents: purchase and sale agreement, certificate of ownership, etc.

Thus, the procedure for obtaining an address certificate through State Services is carried out in several steps. You only need to have a verified account on a single portal.

Which documents have a QR code and which do not?

Vaccination certificate

The certificate is issued to those vaccinated with a one-component or two-component Russian vaccine.

The QR code is contained only in the electronic vaccination certificate, which must be downloaded from the federal information system - State Services. There is no QR code in the paper booklet that is given out at the vaccination point.

This is what the QR code looks like on State Services. Now the certificate is separately in English and Russian

The electronic certificate appears in the system immediately, but in some cases the QR code is added after 21 days.

When does the QR code become active:

after a two-phase vaccine - on the day of vaccination,
after single-phase - 21 days after vaccination,
after revaccination within a year - on the day of vaccination,
after revaccination later than 1 year - after 21 days.

The vaccinated QR code is valid for 1 year. If you get sick after vaccination, then the code is canceled for the duration of the illness, and after the illness a certificate of having recovered from the disease will be automatically generated with a validity period of 1 year.

Those who were vaccinated abroad with a foreign or Russian vaccine will be able to receive a QR code valid for six months from January 1, 2022. To do this, you will need to take an antibody test.

Certificate of recovery

A QR code for someone who has recovered from the disease is now issued if a person has officially recovered from the disease, that is, went to a hospital or clinic and received a diagnosis of COVID-19. According to the international classification, disease codes are U07.1 and U07.2.

The QR code of a person who has recovered is valid from the date of the negative PCR test, which confirms recovery. Until recently, the validity period of a survivor’s certificate was 6 months; now it has been extended to 1 year.

Those who have been ill unofficially, without seeing a doctor, will also be able to receive a QR code from 2022 if they were ill after January 1, 2021. To do this you will need to do an antibody test. If a citizen has had a positive PCR test for coronavirus and antibodies are detected, he will receive a QR code for a year. If you didn’t do the test, but the analysis revealed antibodies, then for six months.

Negative PCR test

To receive a QR code based on a PCR test, the analysis must be done in laboratories that transmit the results to the State Services. These include all public clinics and many private ones - it is better to clarify this point before the study. When taking the test, sign a consent to transfer data to the federal information system. To download the code, you need to have a verified profile on State Services. The test is valid for 48 hours from December 8, 2021.

In Moscow, PCR tests with a QR code are issued only in clinics and private laboratories connected to the unified medical information system (EMIAS). You can download the PCR test with a QR code at immune.mos.ru

Certificate of medical clearance

For medical advice from vaccination, contact a general practitioner or specialized doctor. In difficult cases, the decision is made by a medical commission.

Medical withdrawal can be temporary - for example, after an acute respiratory viral infection or an exacerbation of a chronic disease. It is issued for 30 days, after which you need to visit the doctor again. A permanent medical certificate is issued in case of hypersensitivity to the components of the vaccine or severe allergic reactions in the past. The full list of contraindications for vaccination has not yet been approved by the Russian Ministry of Health.

The medical clearance certificate is issued in paper form at the clinic; it does not contain a QR code. The document indicates the patient’s data, diagnosis, medical withdrawal period, and puts the seal of the medical institution.

From February 1, 2022, information about medical discharge will be entered into the information system of the Ministry of Health, and the certificate can be downloaded from the State Services. Muscovites are the first to take part in testing this mechanism and can receive a certificate of medical discharge from the State Services right now. To do this, you need to have a Moscow compulsory medical insurance policy or be assigned to a Moscow clinic, and also obtain a medical certificate from a doctor.

Antibody test

According to media information, from January 1, 2022, Russians will be able to receive a QR code based on antibodies to coronavirus. To do this, you will need to pass the appropriate analysis. In this case, the number of antibodies will not be taken into account - only their presence or absence. The code will be valid for six months, and if there was a positive PCR test, then for one year. Currently, only residents of Kamchatka and Chuvashia can receive a QR code based on an antibody test.

How to get it from the MFC?

Among all the other options where you can get a certificate of residence, many Russian citizens choose the Multifunctional Center. This institution acts as an intermediary between various government bodies and individuals. The MFC operates in single window mode.

This speeds up the procedure for accepting documents. To obtain a certificate of residence, you should contact the nearest MFC branch. Specialists conduct appointments by appointment. Therefore, you need to worry about getting a coupon in advance.

It can be taken from the terminal located in the MFC office. Appointments are also available by calling the hotline. You need to show up for an appointment with a specialist at the hour indicated on the coupon, with your passport and documents for the apartment.

If the request is submitted not by the applicant personally, but by his representative, then it is important not to forget to formalize the power of attorney properly. You must take original documents with you. An MFC specialist will make copies of the necessary papers. After receiving the package of documents and application, the Multifunctional Center employee will issue a receipt confirming receipt of these papers. The applicant will be notified by telephone that the certificate is ready.

Another thing is personal presentation. First you go to submit documents, then to pick them up. If you are not the owner, you will have to submit documents not only yourself, but also taking with you all the owners of the property.

Online submission is more convenient in this sense because it takes less time. The application will be processed within three days after submission. Then the applicant will be invited to put a stamp stating that you have a residence permit in the house. If the registration is temporary, you need to invite not only the applicant, but also people who are ready to temporarily share with him a living space that their new neighbor has nothing to do with (does not own it).

When visiting in person, you need to take all the documents listed above. In particular, a passport, certificate of ownership and other documents confirming claims for housing.

Frequently asked questions – what people usually ask

Do I need the owner to check out of the apartment?

This question is often asked by tenants or family members of the property owner. Neither the owner’s consent to deregistration nor his presence is required when submitting an application for deregistration. The extract is a personal matter and does not in any way affect the interests of the apartment owner. The person signing out can perform all actions independently.

Do they take away your passport? How long?

All this time you will have to use a different identification document, and if law enforcement agencies require you to show your passport, you can present a coupon indicating that the document is on the extract/registration.

Is it possible to check out of the apartment for a couple of months?

Temporary discharge and subsequent registration are permitted for conscript soldiers and prisoners. It takes place by proxy (details in the corresponding section).

In principle, a person can check out of an apartment and then register back with the consent of the owner. For example, if a student went to another city to study and checked out of his parents’ apartment, he can register there again after returning.

Certificate of discharge from place of residence

The candidate for deregistration from the apartment fills out the departure form himself. If he leaves the country altogether or renounces Russian citizenship - a statistical sheet. Upon receipt of a passport with an extract stamp, a person receives a departure sheet in his hands. This certificate is valid for a month. After this, in order to obtain a new registration, the departure sheet will need to be issued again.

Price

The deregistration procedure does not require payment of a fee or other costs. Only the notary will have to pay if the extract is made by power of attorney. The rest of the procedure is carried out free of charge.

What does it look like?

Which places require a QR code?

In most regions of Russia, visiting public places, traveling in passenger transport and checking into hotels require a QR code of a person who has been ill, vaccinated, or a certificate of medical discharge and/or a PCR test. Each region has its own list of restrictions. For example, in Moscow you can’t get into a museum, theater or concert of more than 500 people without a code, and on public transport they don’t ask for it.

For train travel, a QR code is currently only required in certain regions. For example, in Bashkortostan you won’t be able to board the Orlan commuter train without it, and in Kamchatka you won’t be able to board trains on intermunicipal routes. Read more about restrictions in all subjects of the Russian Federation in Tutu Journal.

From February 1 to June 1, 2022, the government can introduce QR codes throughout Russia. To visit a cafe, store, cultural institution or public event, citizens over 18 years of age will have to show a QR code of someone who has been vaccinated or has recovered from coronavirus, or a certificate of medical clearance.
