The document itself is divided into three key parts:
- title page;
- detailed information about each home owner;
- information about those registered at the specified address.
A writing sample can be found on the Internet. Thus, the title page is understood as a regular header, which indicates the name and purpose of the document, as well as the address of the location of a private house.
The second part of the document contains the following data:
- FULL NAME. every home owner;
- information about title documents;
- date of purchase or inheritance of the house;
- if there are several owners, the share of each of them is indicated.
The third part of the house register contains information about those registered at this address:
- passport details (full name, date and place of birth);
- information about minors;
- if necessary, notes on military registration;
- series and passport number of each registered resident;
- other data about when residents were registered and deregistered at the address.
House book for a private house: what is it for and how is it prepared?
- Last name, first name and patronymic without abbreviations.
- Information about existing children who have not yet reached the age of 14 years.
- Date of Birth.
- Information regarding relation to military service and registration accordingly. This paragraph is relevant only for registered persons under 28 years of age; in all other situations, a dash is inserted instead of indicating information.
- Full passport data , including information about who and when the document was issued. In some cases, instead of passport data, it is allowed to enter information about other documents that also confirm the person’s identity.
- Detailed information related to the date and other nuances of registration in a private house, as well as deregistration at this place of residence.
Place of Birth.
- Filling out the house register is carried out continuously until the moment when its use becomes impossible due to damage, loss or other factors.
- The second section contains information only about those people who are registered in this private house at the time of the entry.
- When updating the data contained in the document , there is no need to re-indicate information about deregistration if there is a mark on the previous registration.
- If it is necessary to enter all the data into the house register in connection with replacing a document due to the loss of the previous one , then the information is taken from the person’s identity document and confirming his registration in a private house. For this purpose, a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation can be used containing the appropriate mark, as well as birth and registration certificates, if we are talking about persons under 14 years of age. If in this way it is not possible to confirm the fact of registration, then the necessary certificate can be obtained by contacting the address and reference service. There is such a unit in every branch of the Federal Migration Service.
- If the house book has fallen into disrepair and the information in it is recognized and read with great difficulty, then the existing information is copied.
- When filling out the house register for the first time, the second section does not require information about registered persons; this will be done during subsequent registration at the place of residence.

The house book of form 11 is, as a rule, maintained by homeowners, and form 18 by authorized officials (for example, chairmen of housing cooperatives). It is worth noting that the difference in the content of books of different forms is insignificant.
How is the house register maintained?
The responsible persons for storing the house register are the homeowners, who manage the house themselves. They are responsible for the accuracy and truthfulness of the information entered in the book about all movements of registered citizens.
A house register is a passport of a building, and its recording and storage must be handled responsibly. The slightest violation of the order threatens to invalidate the book and you will have to get a new one with a full registration procedure.
At any moment, one of the residents may need an extract from the house register for some purpose, so tearing out sheets, crossing out entries, crumpling or folding pages in random order is not recommended.
When the owner of a house changes, the house register is transferred to the new resident. If there is no space left in the old book to make entries, a new passport for the house is created and registered, and the old documents are carefully stored in the archive and under no circumstances are destroyed.
House book - what is it?
Only one book is issued for each house, regardless of the number of registered owners. Such a document consists of:
- The title page, which contains information with the house number, street name and city.
- Section No. 1, containing information about homeowners. This section indicates the full name of the owner, the date of receipt of the residential property, information about the share belonging to the owner and its size.
- Section No. 2, including information about those who are registered in this living space. This section contains the full names of all residents, the place and date of birth of each of them. If there are persons liable for military service in the family, there must be a notice regarding the registration of such persons. In addition, passport data with the series, number and name of the organization to which the document was issued must be indicated.
In what cases you will need a house book you can see here:
Why is such a book needed?

The procedure for its registration is carried out when it is impossible to maintain a document due to the lack of free sheets in it, or in case of loss.
A house register will also be needed for the procedure of privatization of a house, or when registering other types of acquisition of residential real estate.
You can find out how to obtain an extended extract from the house register here.
Rules for registration and deregistration of citizens
The house book records the facts of registration and deregistration of citizens. These procedures themselves have their own characteristics and rules.
So, to register a person over 18 years of age in a private home, the following is required:
- consent from the owner of the house and other registered citizens in writing;
- sufficient space for one person; The rule does not apply to minors.
When registering citizens over 18 years of age, their personal presence is required, as is the owner of the house. The remaining registered persons may not be present, but must record their consent to registration in writing, which is then certified by a notary.
When registering a minor, registration of at least one of the parents is required. The consent of the owner and the area of the housing are not taken into account in this case. When a child is discharged from the mother's house and registered in the father's house, the mother must give her written consent.
As for the discharge procedure, it can be voluntary or compulsory.
It is carried out voluntarily in the following cases:
- moving to a new place;
- divorce;
- selling a house;
- expiration of the temporary registration period.
And a person is forcibly discharged on the basis of a court decision that found that he violated the rights of other residents.
How to restore a house register
If the document is lost or damaged, then it should be restored, for which you need to contact the FMS and bring the following papers:
- all documentation that was necessary for the initial registration of the document;
- a new form according to the sample;
- application for reinstatement in writing.
And if the house book was not lost, but simply ran out of pages, then the procedure looks exactly the same, only you need to indicate current data .
As you can see, the house register is a very important document for owners of private houses and other real estate. We told you how to fill it out correctly and what you need to do if you lose or damage it.
Violation of the rules regarding the use of the house book
Many home owners mistakenly believe that a house register is not such a serious document and do not worry too much if it is lost. Others independently make notes and other entries in it without the appropriate assurances from the FMS.
But this is all wrong, since making corrections, marks and entries, even minor ones, is a gross violation.
Even if the street where the house is located has been officially renamed, you cannot manually make the corresponding correction in the house register. It is also prohibited to tear out pages and cross out the living dead from the list.
If the rules are neglected, home owners may subsequently have problems when making transactions with it or alienating property. The document is officially declared invalid and will need to be restored. Also, it will not be possible to issue any certificates or extracts on it.
Remember that without exception, all entries or corrections in the house register are made only by a FMS employee, even though it is kept by the owner of the house all the time.
Problems that arise when registering a house register
Some homeowners have the mistaken opinion that the house register is not particularly important as a document. In this regard, such citizens may neglect the restoration or execution of this document.
Some citizens independently make entries and other notes in their house register, without resorting to the help of FMS employees. Accordingly, such records remain uncertified and are considered invalid.
- It is impossible to make any entries or even the most minor corrections in the book, since such actions are a gross violation that causes chaos in the documents.
- It is prohibited to independently change the name of the street on which residential property is located, even if the street has been renamed by local authorities.
- Actions such as tearing out pages from a document are also strictly prohibited.
Can problems arise when registering a house register?
Owners of house registers are required to promptly enter information about the deceased who were registered in the house. You can find out how the deregistration of deceased persons is carried out here.
Failure to comply with the rules may lead to difficulties in the process of concluding any transaction regarding the alienation of property. You also need to take into account that with an invalid house register it will not be possible to issue any certificate or extract.
Thus, a house register is intended to provide information about the people living in a house. The book is kept by its owner. If the house is purchased by another person, the old owner is obliged to transfer the house register to him.
Despite the fact that the document in question is stored by its owner and not by the institution, each entry must be made exclusively by FMS employees.
