What documents to change and what authorities to notify when changing your registration

What documents need to be changed when changing place of registration? This is a question that many people ask themselves when moving. Each citizen sometimes uses various government services, which in most cases are tied to the place of registration. This gives rise to many false beliefs, including the idea that you will have to change your documents. For this reason, citizens prefer not to change their registration. However, is everything so complicated? When changing your registration, what documents do you need to change? Today we will answer these questions.

First, let's talk about why the state requires people to register at their place of residence. The main goal of this event is to inform the state about the location of citizens. You can register in a residential building that has the necessary conditions for living. Depending on the length of stay, there are different types of registration. Note that a person can live in a hotel for quite a long time. In this case, he can obtain temporary registration for up to 5 years.

Rights that come with registration include:

the possibility of contacting medical institutions;
the opportunity to send children to kindergarten or school;
use of the apartment at your own discretion;
possibility of official employment.

You can live without registration, but this creates certain inconveniences. Let's return to the topic of conversation and discuss what papers need to be replaced when moving.

What it is

A change of place of registration is an adjustment of the residential address, according to which a new stamp is placed in the passport.

To put it in simpler terms, in fact, a change of registration is the phenomenon when a person officially changes his own place of residence and notifies all the necessary regulatory authorities about it.

This phenomenon is necessary not only for the citizen himself, but also for all institutions that maintain migration records, as well as registration of citizens in Russia in general.

This applies to organizations such as:

Military registration and enlistment office.
Housing maintenance companies.
Passport office and other migration services.

It should be understood that a change of registration implies a change in the place of registration on a permanent basis.

In other words, if a person applies for temporary registration, then in this situation his permanent place of residence remains the same, which means that no government agencies should be notified about this.

Currently, changing your registration must be done at the passport office. Since the Federal Migration Service has ceased to perform its own functions since 2020, people can now contact the departments of the Main Migration Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for this purpose.

In addition, citizens can always use the services of multifunctional centers. Also, for your own convenience, you can always submit an application to change your registration electronically.

This is done through the general portal “State Services” and on this resource a person can immediately make an appointment at a time that is convenient for him.

General procedure

By law, anyone can leave their current place of registration without giving reasons.
It is possible to indicate the disposal address, but in any case it does not undergo special verification. An application to deregister a citizen is most often submitted in the following situations:

If you need to sell real estate. After the decision to sell the apartment, it is necessary to carry out the procedure for deregistering all previously registered residents; this is a mandatory point in drawing up an agreement when purchasing living space or selling it.
Changing your place of residence to an apartment in another city or when moving abroad.

Before completing the registration process in a new place, you should make sure that there is no registration left in the previous living space.

passport;
a completed application form, made in a free format on the topic of an extract from a previous place;
departure address sheet, which also needs to be filled out.

The form will be provided by the registrar or must be downloaded in advance from the electronic page of the Federal Migration Service of Russia (at the bottom of the site, you need to look for form No. 7). After three working days, the document will be ready for issue along with the second form of the departure certificate.

Upon departure	To start the process, you need to submit a set of three documents to the FMS (this is the federal migration service) or the MFC:
Automatically	If, when changing your place of residence, you submit an application for official registration in a new living space, then the removal of registration from the previous place will be carried out automatically.

A citizen can be deregistered without filing an application independently.

This may happen if:

death or in a state of absence without a trace;
if the registration process is proven to be fictitious, the registration is canceled due to an error in creating the document, or if the authority to own housing has been lost.

Departure address form (form 7)

How to do it

In a situation where a citizen changes his own place of residence, he must necessarily follow a certain algorithm of actions.

Initially, he needs to visit two organizations:

Passport office, which is located at the updated registration location. A visit to this institution is necessary within 7 days after a person deregisters himself at his previous place of residence.
Housing office. At this institution you need to submit an application, according to which adjustments will be made to the documents. After this, utility bills will be charged to the citizen. Those people who live in large cities may not necessarily visit this organization, since all the necessary information will be transmitted directly from the migration service.

It is also important to take into account that in order for the changed place of registration to be reflected in the passport, it is imperative to submit this document to the control authority, after which a stamp will be placed on it, which will indicate the changed place of registration.

After all adjustments to the information have been made, all updated information will be transmitted to the migration control authorities.

A change in the place of registration will also be important for the military commissariat, which must be provided with information that a new registered potential conscript has appeared on its territory.

It is for this reason that men who change their place of registration are obliged to provide their own military ID to this institution.

In such a situation, there will be no significance from the factor how old the citizen is at the moment.

How to change your registration?

I recently registered at my place of residence in another region.

Who should I notify and within what time frame to avoid fines? We are talking, for example, about the military registration and enlistment office, replacing registration data on a car, the tax office (including to reduce the tax on a car) and other authorities.

Pavel, there are documents that you will not need to change when changing your registration. This is a passport, INN, SNILS, driver's license, bank cards, bank account numbers - although in some cases the bank will have to be notified of a change of place of registration. But, indeed, there are departments that you need to inform that you are changing your registration address.

Military Commissariat

At the new place of registration you need to register with the military. But not everyone.

No need to register for military service:

Exempted by law from military duty.
To those who have already served.
Those who are serving a sentence of imprisonment.
Women who do not have a military specialty.
For those who have military ranks of officers and are in the reserves of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation and the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation.

What to do. As soon as you receive a passport with a new registration, you need to go to the military registration and enlistment office at your new place of residence and present your passport and military ID there. You will be given an application form to fill out. After this, the military registration and enlistment office employees will make changes to their documents and register you with the military at your new place of residence.

What is the price. For free.

Deadline: 14 days from the date of registration.

If you do not do so, you may be fined from 100 to 500 rubles in accordance with Article 21.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

If you do not have your own transport, but have a driver’s license, you do not need to notify the traffic police about the change in registration.

If you have a car, you will need to replace the vehicle registration certificate. If you don’t have time to change it yourself, you can issue a power of attorney.

What to do. You must submit an application to change the information about the owner of the vehicle in person at any traffic police department or through government services.

But to replace the document, in any case, you will need to come to the traffic police and present a passport with a changed registration address, a vehicle passport and a vehicle registration certificate.

What is the price. State duty 850 R: 350 R for making a new entry in the PTS and 500 R for issuing a new STS.

Deadlines - on the day of application to the traffic police.

If you don’t do this, you can be fined 1500-2000 rubles under Article 19.22 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Pension Fund

SNILS does not need to be changed. But if you receive a pension or other payments from the state through a pension fund, you need to notify it. It doesn’t matter whether you receive your pension in cash or on a bank card. By law, a pensioner or his representative is obliged to inform the Pension Fund of Russia that his place of residence has changed.

What to do. You need to write an application to request a payment (pension) file and indicate a new address. You can do this in person or through government services.

Deadlines. If, when changing the place of registration, the amount of payments changes, you must notify the pension fund no later than the next day after the change of registration.

If you don't. If a change of place of residence leads to unreasonable payments, they may be recovered from the pensioner. If you move to the Far North region and do not notify the pension fund, there is a risk of receiving less than you should, simply because the pension fund will not know that you are entitled to northern bonuses.

To receive medical care at your new place of residence under compulsory medical insurance, you need to be assigned to a territorial clinic. You can choose any clinic, but you are allowed to change no more than once a year.

What to do. Go to a clinic that is convenient for you with your passport, compulsory medical insurance policy and SNILS and fill out an application addressed to the head physician at the reception desk.

The timing depends on when the application is signed by the head physician.

If you don't. The clinic may refuse medical services.

By law, information about the registration address is not included in the compulsory medical insurance policy. There is not even such a column in the compulsory health insurance policy forms.

But a situation may arise where your old insurance company may not provide services in your new region. In this case, you will have to change both the insurance company and the compulsory medical insurance policy. Whether you need to change it or not, you can find out when you are assigned to the clinic. You can also call the insurance company using the phone number included in the policy.

What to do. Contact the insurance company at your place of actual residence. You will be asked to write an application for changes to the compulsory medical insurance policy.

What is the price. For free

Deadlines. The insurer must be notified of these changes within 30 days. You will receive a temporary policy on the day you apply.

If you do not do so, you may be denied medical care in a medical facility.

While you have a compulsory motor liability insurance contract, you are obliged to inform the insurer about changes in the information specified in the application for concluding a compulsory insurance contract, including a change in the registration address. This must be done in writing.

What to do. You need to contact your insurance company in person, via email or through an app, if available.

What is the price. For free. But if the region to which you moved has different coefficients, the cost of the policy may be recalculated either up or down.

Deadlines. The insurer makes changes to the MTPL policy and the automated information system of compulsory insurance no later than five working days from the date of application. After that, they will replace your policy - they will give you a new one on a form or send an electronic one by mail.

If you do not do this, you may have problems with payments in the event of an accident.

Casco is a voluntary matter and is not regulated by federal laws, so insurance companies can independently establish insurance conditions.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with which documents require stamp details

To avoid problems with payments, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions of your specific insurance contract. Perhaps it spells out the procedure for notifying the insurance company about a change of registration address.

This should only be done if the housing you purchased has become your property.

What to do. You need to contact your management company and provide documents on housing ownership. You may be asked to enter into a service agreement. How exactly to do this is best to clarify locally with the Criminal Code. There are no uniform requirements for concluding contracts; everywhere has its own rules. For example, my management company refused to enter into an agreement with me.

Deadlines. The sooner you do this, the better.

If you don't. Utilities will not be turned off for you, but if the management company provides poor quality services, it will be more difficult to make them work according to the law.

Different banks have different requirements and different procedures for notifying about a change of registration address. If you have a simple debit card, some banks may not care in which region you are registered. If you have large loans, the bank may provide in the loan agreement a condition that you are obliged to inform it about a change of residence, specify the timing and procedure for notification. As a rule, the interest rate and the amount of payments from a change of residence do not change.

I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the terms of loan agreements and banking service agreements.

A Tinkoff Bank client has seven days under the terms of comprehensive banking services to notify of a change of registration address. Conditions may differ in other banks

If your registration address does not match your residential address, make the most of the capabilities of electronic services. Notifications of fines, taxes and debts can be received through government services, the websites of the Federal Tax Service or the Federal Bailiff Service.

And for those who do not want to use the websites of government agencies, this information can be checked through the applications of some banks or even on their websites.

For example, this is what the page for checking and paying fines looks like on the Tinkoff Bank website

Briefly

If you have changed your region of registration, you do not need to notify the tax office, the registry office and Rosreestr.

It is mandatory to notify the military commissariat, and if you receive a pension, then the pension fund.

What documents should I change when changing my registration in 2020?

During a procedure such as changing your registration, it is important to understand that you will also need to change your documents.

Often, the total set of documents that need to be changed includes all the papers that indicate the citizen’s registration.

It is worth considering that adjustments will necessarily be made to the following documents:

Passport.
A certificate that proves ownership.
A certificate that reflects the registration of the vehicle. It is important to understand that all adjustments made during the procedure for changing registration in the car registration information must be made within 10 days. Do not forget - in order for a change in registration address to be reflected in the traffic police database, you must write an application according to the established form, and attach to this application the necessary documents for the car, as well as a passport.
Exactly the same rules will apply to changing the PTS for the moment when the registration address changes.
Most people are also interested in whether it is necessary to change the TIN in the situation under consideration. In fact, this document is one of those that are issued once in a lifetime. Replacing this document will not be mandatory in such a situation, since the document number is also not subject to any changes. When a person moves to a new place, all information from the migration service is sent to the Federal Tax Service, which is located according to the citizen’s new residential address. It is important to understand that there is absolutely no need to send special notifications here. Accordingly, there is no need to change the TIN.
Men, when changing their registration address, must put a note about this fact on their military ID, since all men are registered with the military registration and enlistment office.
Many are also interested in whether there is a need to change their driver's license. Since this document is valid throughout the entire state, it is not necessary to change rights.
Replacing a medical policy will also not be a mandatory procedure when changing your registration, because the policy, like a driver’s license, is valid throughout Russia.

It is important to understand that it is necessary to notify banking institutions of a change of registration address if the applicant has certain debt obligations to them, or if he has his own account there.

About permanent residence

There are two types of registration: permanent and temporary . Sometimes it is called registration. Temporary becomes mandatory in cases where a citizen comes to a new place for a period of more than 90 days. If this is not done, he will face a fine.

A person who does not have such registration may encounter a variety of additional problems - from difficulties in getting a job to the inability to place a child in a kindergarten at the place of his actual residence. The temporary registration document is a certificate of the appropriate type.

ATTENTION! When carrying out temporary registration, the constant does not change. It is permissible to live outside home for many years by renewing your registration. Permanent registration is recorded on the corresponding page of the passport.

TIN certificate, compulsory medical insurance policy

Despite the fact that there are certain differences between these documents, if the registration address changes, they will not be subject to any changes or adjustments.

In the case of the TIN, it is worth noting that this document is issued once in a lifetime, and it is for this reason that you should not change this document when changing your place of residence.

The point is that this information has never been reflected and will not be reflected in this document.

At the same time, tax service employees will necessarily receive information about changes in the citizen’s place of residence and registration from the federal migration services.

This is done automatically within a certain time after the actual change of address.

As for medical insurance, the situation here is a little different. Yes, indeed, there is no need to change it, but not for the reason that it is issued once for life, but because it is valid throughout the whole of Russia.

Thus, regardless of whether a person has changed his place of registration or not, he can apply with this document to receive medical care at absolutely any institution in any Russian region.

Where should I submit a notice of change of residence?

In order of priority, the citizen submits the following documents to the inspector at the window:

receipt of payment of state duty;
passport;
vehicle registration certificate;
technical equipment passport;
statement;
OSAGO policy.

It is not necessary to provide a car for verification of license plates, which speeds up the paperwork procedure. After issuing a new plastic certificate Ср and making notes in the PTS, you should make sure that all changes are made without errors.

With the received documents, you should contact the insurance organization where the CASCO or MTPL insurance policy was issued in order to make changes. The insurance agent will enter the new registration address into the documents and enter it into the database. This completes the vehicle re-registration procedure.
