To obtain a technical passport or make changes to an existing one, you can contact the following organizations:

1. BTI (Bureau of Technical Expertise). The service can be obtained by property owners, their representatives, and residents of municipal apartments. To prepare the document, just contact the department at the place of registration.

3. Licensed organizations with the right to provide such services. Applications can be accepted in the office or through the official website. After completing the application, the cadastral engineer will visit the apartment for measurements and draw up the document.

You can also order a technical passport through the State Services system. But for this you need to have a verified level account on the portal.

What is the difference with cadastral

The technical passport, like the cadastral passport, contains information about the features of the housing. Both contain the address, area, floor data, etc., which is why it is believed that the technical passport and the cadastral passport are one and the same.

In fact, these are different documents, their difference is as follows:

These two documents are not duplicates and, therefore, do not replace each other. A cadastral passport is one of the required documents for the sale and other transactions with an apartment. However, it is issued on the basis of technical requirements. passports.

Registration procedure

To find a cadastral engineer, you can use the official Rosreestr resource. It contains a register of specialists with contact information. It represents only cadastral engineers who have received a license from Rosreestr. Only they have the right to issue a registration certificate for housing.

The selected specialist should be informed of the purpose of obtaining a technical passport. It is necessary to determine whether an explication is needed or whether a document without updates is sufficient. After the customer and the contractor discuss all the conditions, it is necessary to proceed to collecting documents and writing an application. It will need to be accompanied by a receipt for payment of the duty. Its size depends on prices in the region of residence.

If the application was submitted to the BTI, then the average state duty is 900-1500 rubles. It includes the amount of the fee and the cost of services for measuring the premises. When contacting the MFC, you will have to pay extra for the service, the total amount will be 1200-1700 rubles. Private organizations independently set prices for their services. In this case, the price is influenced by the purpose of the document. They may demand an amount from 2 to 10 thousand rubles for it.

If additional services are needed (floor plan, explication, certificate of identification of address data, accounting for redevelopment, inventory, etc.), then this must be indicated in the application.

After handing over the documentation package, the applicant is given a receipt. Then all that remains is to wait for the technical passport to be ready.

Documentation package for BTI

The list of documents required to obtain a technical passport depends on the purpose of its registration. The required documentation package includes the following certificates:

• Applications in the prescribed form.
• Duty payment receipt.
• Civil passport of the owner of the apartment or a citizen living in municipal housing.
• Certificate of title (on the right of ownership, extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, social tenancy agreement).
• If the interests of the applicant are represented by a trusted person, then his passport with a power of attorney certified by a notary will be required.

For privatization of living space, the documentation package is supplemented with the following evidence:

1. By order or social tenancy agreement.
2. Certificate No. 7 with characteristics of the apartment.

To enter into inheritance rights, the following documents are attached:

• A certificate confirming the opening of an inheritance from a notary.

After waiting for the registration certificate to be produced, the owner of the apartment only needs to come to the place where the application is submitted and pick up the document. You must have your passport with you.

On the first, the specialist conducting the inventory inspection schematically depicts a detailed plan of the building. The tabular part contains data about each room and its individual characteristics.

Where to contact: how and where to order a document?

A technical inventory for the purpose of issuing a passport is carried out at the initiative of the owner or his authorized representative.
To obtain a technical passport, you need to contact the BTI at your place of residence or an engineering company. Since the beginning of 2013, these services can also be provided by private companies, but in this case it is advisable to check the availability of a license and certificate for performing engineering work. Otherwise, the technical passport may be considered illegitimate.

When ordering a service, the applicant must have a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation and documents on property rights. The owner of the apartment or an authorized person provides access to the premises for the purpose of measurements. Then, within a certain time (from 1 to 30 days), a technical passport is issued, which is handed over to the owner or an authorized representative.

Clear rules for issuing a passport have not yet been established. But do not forget, if there is a need to sell, conclude or renew mortgage agreements, carry out repair work related to redevelopment of the apartment (and so on), you need to issue a new technical passport.

Cost in BTI

One of the basic components of the cost of a technical passport is the payment of a receipt for the state duty.
Today this amount is equal to 1200 rubles, provided that the house or apartment for which the document is issued is no more than 1 thousand sq.m. If the amount is exceeded, the amount will be increased. If you need to get a copy of your passport or an extract from it, it will cost about 600 rubles.

How to get through MFC?

If you apply for a technical passport (now called a technical plan) at the MFC (multifunctional center), you will need to pay 1,200 rubles. 1000 rubles is the state duty, 200 rubles is the cost of the service itself. In this case, you need to have a photocopy and original passport with you.

ATTENTION! The copy must be certified by a notary.

If you are already the owner, then additionally documents verifying your right to ownership (photocopy and original). Copies, of course, are certified. An act that indicates the commissioning of the house. The price of a notary's services for certifying a copy depends on the region (in Moscow, for example, only 100 rubles), so it is difficult in advance to determine how much the cost of obtaining a registration certificate at the MFC will cost. In addition, the requirements in different MFCs differ.

Somewhere they may require a complete package of documentation, naturally, and copies of them. Somewhere - the minimum, for example, only an extract from the register. Costs associated with illegal redevelopment may also add to the costs. There are many intermediaries working in the real estate market, one way or another involved in real estate, including the preparation of the necessary documents; accordingly, they set the prices themselves.

Third-party organizations

But, if such a need arises, then it is better to work with special bureaus or real estate agencies, whose activities are carried out under a license and regulated by law. The price in this case will be no less than 2000 rubles, including state duty.

The maximum cost of services, including the fee, is not less than 10,000 rubles. Again, this varies by region.

To summarize, we can say that the price of a registration certificate consists of two elements:

• direct costs (state fee for registration - 1000 rubles);
• indirect (payment for the services of intermediaries, work of a notary, certification of photocopies of documents, certificate from the registry).
