Simple instructions for obtaining a certificate from your place of residence through the State Services portal

Types of citizen registration

Article 3 of the Law of the Russian Federation of June 25, 1993 No. 5242-I provides for registration of citizens of the Russian Federation at the place of residence and place of stay.

A citizen is required to register within 90 days after arriving in a locality for temporary residence. By registering temporarily, a citizen is not discharged from his place of permanent residence.

If, for the period of a business trip, vacation, or study, a person lives in a hotel, rest home, sanatorium, boarding house, or medical institution, his registration and deregistration is handled by the administration of the organization where he is staying. If necessary, he can receive a document that will confirm his presence in a new place. Such certificates are in demand among business travelers and students to present them at their place of work or study.

When registering, a note about this is placed in the citizen’s passport. Although there is no restriction of rights established by law, if there is no permanent registration stamp in the passport, a person cannot fully realize his life goals. It will be difficult to get a bank loan, open your own business, conclude a deal, or enroll minor children in educational institutions.

Registration today is carried out by units of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. A person with the necessary set of documents must personally go to the migration department of his region and apply for registration.

To confirm your place of registration, at the request of various authorities, you must obtain a certificate of the appropriate sample.

Possible reasons for refusal to issue

The competent authorities may refuse to accept documents from a person wishing to order a certificate of residence for the following reasons:

• incorrect filling out of the application - the full name is written incorrectly or does not correspond to the passport data;
• in the supporting documents there are additions, crossed out words, and erased places;
• the passport or other documents presented are damaged, making it difficult to unambiguously interpret the necessary data.

Situations when citizens in the housing and communal services are not given a certificate from their place of residence about the composition of their family due to rent arrears are illegal from the point of view of Russian law!

Before contacting management companies to obtain a certificate from your place of residence, you should check the status of payments for housing and communal services. If there is a debt, the management company employee may refuse to issue the document. How legal his actions are is a moot point. You can file a complaint with higher authorities, describing the situation. But for our part, we will also need to explain the reasons for non-payment for housing and communal services. So it’s better not to accumulate debts.

How long is the certificate valid?

The document is usually provided to the applicant on the day of application. The validity period of the document is not established by law, but in practice it is valid for one month.

Employees of a government agency may not issue a document in the following situations:

• there is no passport or other document that proves identity;
• archived data does not contain the data requested by the applicant;
• The applicant filled out the application illegibly.

The law does not provide grounds for refusal to issue this certificate. However, management companies often refuse to draw up a document if a citizen has debts on utility bills. Such actions can be regarded as unlawful. The applicant must write a complaint addressed to the head of a higher authority.

You can get a certificate of residence literally in one day. The main thing is not to forget to take your passport with you; without it, government officials will not issue a document.
