List of documents for re-registration of a change of legal address

In what cases is it possible to re-register an apartment?

From the moment of commissioning, an apartment or house can change several owners, and in a very short time. After all, not all people tend to live in one place, while others are forced by life circumstances.

So the most common reasons for re-registering an apartment to another owner are:

• home sales;
• giving, for example, to a beloved grandson;
• receiving by inheritance by will or by inheritance order;
• privatization of a previously provided apartment on social rent;
• exchange for another apartment;
• obtaining housing under the terms of a rental agreement.

In this case, the apartment may not be transferred to another owner in full, but only partially, which is relevant when several relatives enter into an inheritance or in the process of privatization of all persons registered in the housing.

Important! Socially rented housing cannot be sold or donated, since it belongs to the state housing stock and is managed by local administrations as a proxy for the owner - the state. But under certain circumstances, the apartment can be exchanged for an equivalent one, after agreement with the municipality.

When is it necessary to re-register a car?

It is necessary to re-register a car every time its owner changes. In this case, a change of owner can occur in various ways:

• Transfer of a motor vehicle to another citizen under a general power of attorney.
• Conclusion of a gift agreement.
• Entry by a citizen into the rights of an heir.
• Sale of a car as a result of concluding a purchase and sale agreement.

All of the above cases must be accompanied by the execution of title documents, without which the transfer of the car into the possession of another person will be considered invalid. Only on their basis does the new owner have the right to fully and without any restrictions own the purchased car. At the same time, the procedure for re-registering a car under a purchase and sale agreement in 2020 is no different from re-registering a car to another owner for other reasons.

In the same way, it doesn’t matter whether you transfer the car to a close relative or to a third-party buyer. The whole procedure will look similar, so when transferring equipment to a relative, you can choose any convenient option for drawing up title documents - a deed of gift, a will or a bill of sale. Especially if the transfer of property rights is carried out free of charge.

However, if both citizens are closely related, it is advisable to choose the option of drawing up a deed of gift. In this case, both people - the donor and the recipient of the gift - are exempt from paying any taxes. When registering a deed of gift for a distant relative or a stranger, the recipient of the car will have to pay 13% income tax. When selling a car, the seller pays the same tax. According to current legislation, close relatives include:

• Children and their parents. This includes not only biological parents and children, but also children adopted on the basis of officially issued documents and their adoptive parents.
• Brothers and sisters. In this case, close relatives are considered to be citizens who have both common parents or only one. Half-brothers and sisters do not fall under the concept of “consanguineous relationship.”
• Husband and wife. Most often, a closely related relationship is recognized between a man and a woman who are in an officially registered marriage. People in a civil marriage can only be recognized as close relatives by a court decision.

All other family relationships (nephews-aunts, grandchildren-grandmothers, etc.) are not included in the concept of “closely related”. Re-registration is also necessary if:

• The owner of the car changes his place of residence, with a change in his permanent residence address.
• The owner changes his passport details - for example, full name.
• Changing the external data of the car: body color or design.

What documents will be needed

The procedure for re-registration of ownership of an apartment depends on how it is transferred to another owner, because the owner at the initial stage must confirm his right to own and dispose of housing. Also, in addition to the presented data, in some cases it will be necessary to attach other documents to confirm compliance with the rights of other persons.

Buying and selling an apartment

The main package of documents that must be collected when drawing up an apartment purchase and sale agreement includes:

• contract of sale;
• identity card of the parties to the transaction;
• title data for the apartment, that is, a certificate of ownership;
• technical certificate;
• extract from the Unified State Register of Encumbrances;
• extended extract from the house register;
• a certificate from the management company or homeowners association confirming the absence of debt for housing and communal services.

In addition to the specified data, the following is attached:

• notarized consent of the spouse for the sale of housing, if it was purchased during marriage;
• permission from the guardianship authorities if a child is registered in the apartment being sold.

If the housing is in shared ownership in accordance with Article 250 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, a notice of the right of first refusal to other co-owners is attached.

Important! Article 250 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation requires compliance with a 30-day period between notification of the intention to sell a share and an offer to sell part of the apartment to other persons. Moreover, if the remaining residents refuse to participate in the transaction in writing, the housing can be sold earlier than the established deadlines.

Transfer of ownership by deed of gift

The donation procedure within the framework of the norms of Article 572 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation implies the gratuitous donation of housing. However, due to the fact that the owner of the apartment changes, a certain package of documents is also provided for state registration of the transfer of ownership rights:

• passports of the parties;
• certificate of ownership;
• gift agreement;
• technical certificate;
• extracting books from home;
• inventory value of the apartment for tax calculation.

Additionally may be included:

• documents on the powers of the legal representatives of the donee, if we are talking about a child;
• consent of the spouse, if housing was obtained while living together.

Important! By virtue of Article 37 of Federal Law No. 102, the law allows the donation of an apartment that is under a mortgage, but only with the written consent of the bank - the mortgagee of the housing.

Re-registration of an apartment after death by inheritance

The process of entering into an inheritance involves the preliminary passage of a fairly lengthy procedure, defined by Chapter 61 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Moreover, in the event of a dispute about the size of the inheritance mass and the allocated shares, legal proceedings are also possible.

In order to enter into legal rights, the following documents will be required to re-register an apartment:

• passport;
• certificate of ownership issued by a notary;
• title data for housing;
• technical documentation for the apartment;
• court decision if controversial issues arise when determining shares;
• extracting their apartment register.

Important! When transferring ownership of an apartment to a close relative, personal income tax is not paid. If the inheritance is entered into by a person who does not have close ties with the testator, the tax is 13%.

Re-registration of a privatized apartment

After privatization, housing can be disposed of as you wish. You can sell it, donate it or bequeath it. At the same time, in the process of collecting a package of documents, a number of features should be taken into account. So, during privatization, one of the registered family members can renounce his share in favor of his wife, for example, and receive the right of lifelong residence, which future owners should be aware of. Also, certain difficulties may arise if a minor is registered in the apartment. It will not be possible to discharge him without the permission of the guardianship authorities.

What documents are needed to re-register an apartment under an exchange agreement?

An exchange of apartments can be called an analogue of a sale, because the owners of residential premises simultaneously act as both a buyer and a seller under Art. 567 Civil Code of the Russian Federation. And since two residential premises are involved in the transaction, two packages of documents are prepared, which are provided for during the purchase and sale. Only the exchange agreement is attached to the above data.

Re-registration of the owner under a rent agreement

Under Article 583 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, a rent agreement implies the transfer of ownership of housing subject to care for the owner or payment of lifelong maintenance to him. At the same time, re-registration of ownership rights under a transaction of this type can be carried out immediately or after the death of the annuity recipient. Moreover, regardless of the time of transfer of ownership rights, the main package of documents is accompanied by a rent agreement and permission from the guardianship authorities if the owner is incapacitated.

Package of necessary documents

You can find out what specific documents are needed to re-register a car to another person at any traffic police department or on the official portal of the department.
As of 2020, the list of documents required for such verification includes:

• owner's application for re-registration of his car;
• general passport;
• certificate that the car is registered;
• an agreement certifying the purchase of a car by the new owner;
• vehicle passport (PTS);
• MTPL insurance;
• receipt of payment of all government fees.

They will not require compulsory motor third party insurance (MTPL) insurance when re-registering a car, but without it it will not be possible to drive around the territory of a populated area. This means that you won’t be able to get to the traffic police department where the re-registration takes place. It is allowed to use the old policy if it is possible to add a new owner to it. If this is not possible, then you should issue a new one.

It is important to remember that the title must have space to include the new owner. If there is no space, then the previous owner of the car should deal with the registration of a new passport at the stage of preparation for the transaction.

All documents are submitted to the inspection department in original form and copies.

Re-registration procedure

In pursuance of the provisions of Article 551 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the procedure for transferring ownership of real estate is subject to mandatory state registration. You can register and obtain a certificate of ownership at the Rosreestr at the location of the property.

In this case, you can re-register an apartment through the MFC in a simplified manner. First you need to get in line by phone or by electronic registration. Visit the Center at the time appointed by the specialist and give him a complete package of documents. The period for re-registration of an apartment is only 10 days, after which the new owner is issued a certificate of ownership.

Documents for re-registration of a car in 2020

To complete the re-registration procedure, the new owner will need to submit the following set of documentation to the traffic police:

• Passport to identify the applicant.
• An application completed in accordance with the required standards.
• An official copy of the purchase and sale agreement or other title document.
• OSAGO insurance policy.

The application form can be obtained directly from the traffic police department. It should be filled out as follows:

• The name of the territorial traffic police department to which the application is being submitted is indicated.
• Owner details – full name, residential address.
• Information about the vehicle being registered.

Recent changes made to the procedure for registering vehicles allow it to be re-registered without changing registration numbers. The procedure for changing numbers was canceled as completely impractical and leading to unjustified time and financial costs. Today, deregistration is a mandatory procedure only in a few cases:

• If a car purchase and sale agreement is concluded with a citizen of another country. Otherwise, the new owner may have problems with customs clearance of the purchase, as well as with registering the car in his home country.
• When a car is sent for recycling. Vehicles that have not been deregistered will not be accepted for recycling by recyclers.
• If a car is officially reported stolen, its registration plates automatically become invalid.

In other cases, by mutual agreement of the seller and buyer, license plates may be retained. This fact must be reflected in the purchase and sale agreement.
