How to register in an apartment through State Services in 2020

Who needs temporary registration

Place of stay is the address of short-term accommodation: hotel, medical institution, rest home, prison, etc.

Citizens must apply for temporary registration when the following circumstances occur:

temporary residence in another place;
staying at another address for 90 days or more.

Both a Russian citizen and a national of another country have the right to apply. Stateless persons have similar privileges.

The following may apply for temporary registration through the State Services portal:

Russian citizen from 14 years of age;
legal representative of a child under 14 years of age (parent, adoptive parent, guardian);
guardian of an incapacitated person or trustee of a person with limited legal capacity.

There are special rules for nationals of another country.

What does this concept mean?

Temporary registration is the registration of a citizen at the place of his actual residence. By the way, the term “registration” became outdated back in the 90s of the last century. Now it is replaced by the word – registration.

The registration itself may be temporary or permanent. In the first case, a person draws up documents for a certain period, during which he can live in another city. In the second, this is the citizen’s main place of residence
.
Please note that temporary registration does not oblige a person to be discharged from his permanent place of residence.

Why is this necessary? Along with the main registration, temporary residence gives a person the right to enjoy social benefits. In addition, this is a prerequisite for employment, obtaining a driver’s license, bank loan, and medical care.

An interesting feature is the temporary registration of the child. According to the law, lack of registration cannot serve as a reason for refusal to enroll children in general education and preschool institutions. But reality says otherwise

. The child is admitted to the school or kindergarten at the place of his registration.

Pre-registration on the website

A citizen registers independently on the State Services portal. You will need to prepare your passport and SNILS. Personal data, phone number and email are entered into the electronic form. Next, you need to confirm your phone number via SMS.

Next, the user comes up with a password for his personal account on State Services. Then the system will ask you to enter your passport and SNILS details. In the window that opens, you need to indicate your full name, gender, citizenship, date and place of birth.

After registration, information is verified. It takes 15 minutes. If everything went well, you will be asked to confirm the person’s identity. This is done by choice - using an electronic signature, ordering a letter to the specified postal address, or in person at the service center.

The citizen will have access to the personal account of the State Services portal after completing the entire procedure. Additionally, you can set up an electronic signature.

Documents for registration

Since 2020, units of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs have been dealing with issues of temporary migration registration. There are migration departments in the regions that process applications.

To submit an electronic application through State Services, the applicant prepares documentation in advance. The package of papers includes:

Russian or foreign passport of a citizen;
paper giving the right to stay in temporary housing (tenancy agreement, other documents);
consent of the owner of residential property.

For a child under 14 years of age the following must be additionally presented:

birth registration paper;
ID card of mother or father, adoptive parent, guardian;
decision to appoint a guardian (if any).

After the papers are prepared, the citizen applies for registration at the State Services.

What documents should I provide and how?

Changing your registration through Gosuslugi will require the same papers as when you traditionally apply to the passport office.

The only difference is that they are needed in the form of electronic copies (clause 25.3 of the Administrative Regulations for the provision of public services for registration of citizens, hereinafter referred to as the Regulations).

Therefore, if you are wondering how to change your registration through State Services, know: you will have to scan or photograph the documents in advance, and do this in such a way that all the inscriptions are clearly readable.

There is no need to certify digital copies ! They are needed only for preliminary data verification, and registration of registration itself will be carried out on the basis of the original paper versions, with which you will have to go to the territorial office of the Federal Migration Service.

Copies of documents required for registration through State Services:

Russian passport of the person being registered (and legal representative, if any), birth certificate - for children under 14 years of age;
a document according to which the right to move into the apartment arises .
This is, for example, a social lease, purchase and sale or privatization agreement, a certificate of inheritance, a court decision, etc. If a citizen moves (permanently or temporarily) into a residential premises that does not belong to him, then in an interactive application he must confirm the consent of the owner, either by using the portal services or by attaching the appropriate electronic document (clause 96, paragraph 2 of the Regulations).

The arrival address sheet is filled out in the appropriate online application form; an electronic copy is not needed.

The same applies to the statistical arrival sheet , which in some cases is necessary for permanent registration, as well as for a temporary period of nine months or more (clause 96, paragraph 1 of the Regulations).

Temporary registration process

To obtain a temporary registration on the State Services portal, you need to log in to your personal account and find. Then you should select the “Electronic Service” option.

Registration of a certificate through State Services takes place in several stages:

an electronic form is filled out and sent for verification;
a notification is sent to your personal account about the date and time of appearance at the structural unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
a citizen comes to a government agency and receives a document.

Let's look at the procedure in more detail.

Filling out the electronic form (step 1)

After selecting the required Public Service, an electronic form opens. Some of the information in it is displayed automatically, based on the data entered at the time of registering an account on the portal.

Additionally you need to indicate:

Place of Birth;
address of temporary housing;
place of permanent residence;
information about the owner of the property (full name, date of birth, degree of relationship, passport information);
basis for short-term residence (type of document and property);
citizenship of another country (if any);
reason for relocation;
personal information;
department that will consider the appeal.

All information is in the prepared papers. The right to stay in residential premises is confirmed by a social tenancy agreement, a certificate of registration in the Unified State Register, or other paper.

In addition to documentation for the premises, they additionally receive written consent from the owner for a guest to stay with him. Without it, you won’t be able to register through State Services.

Next, the citizen agrees to the processing of personal information and submits an application for consideration.

Document processing (step 2)

After checking that the electronic form has been filled out correctly, a notification is sent to the personal account of the State Services portal. The person is asked to come to the management specialist on the appointed date. Registration is made for any free time, in accordance with the appointment schedule.

Additionally, they indicate a list of documents that you need to bring with you. Before the end of the day, interdepartmental requests are sent to verify information about the person who applied for the public service. The result is applied to the case.

Deadlines for issuing a certificate (step 3)

At the next step, the applicant comes to the State Services for the result. The standard procedure is completed after three days. The specialist will ask you to provide the requested documentation in order to carry out a reconciliation.

The case is being conducted in the Mir system. In the presence of the applicant, the completeness of the submitted documentation is checked. The identity of the person is compared with the person in the passport photograph. Electronic copies of papers are attached to the file. If the accuracy of the information is confirmed, a completed certificate will be issued.

The following information is included in the document:

Full name of the registered person;
date and place of birth;
temporary residence address;
term;
passport details;
official signature and seal.

In what cases can you get a refusal?

When accepting documents through State Services, they check whether there are grounds for refusal. These include:

difficult to read application text;
filling out an electronic form with violations;
failure to submit required documents;
restricting the choice of place of stay within the country.

The provision of public services is suspended if a citizen does not appear when called within three days.

Registration procedure and cost

Temporary registration without permanent registration is possible only with the consent of the property owner. You can register in another city by contacting the Federal Migration Service. When submitting documents, not only the citizen registering must be present, but also the owner of the apartment
. We remind you that non-permanent registration in another city does not serve as a basis for registration at the main place of residence.

What documents are needed? Here is the main list:

written application of the established form (form No. 1). Filled out and signed by the citizen submitting documents for temporary registration
. Please note that the property owner also signs the document;
passport. In this situation, it is impossible to register using a foreign passport or other identity card;
documents serving as the basis for residence. In our case, this is a lease agreement concluded between the owner and the tenant. Please note that if the property is in shared ownership, you will need to obtain written consent from all co-owners;
extract from the house register. Usually required if a citizen wants to obtain temporary registration in a country house.

Please note that registration can be obtained not only by personally contacting the Federal Migration Service. The law allows documents to be sent by registered mail or through State Services.

If you decide to use postal services, documents must be certified by a notary, especially the owner’s consent to provide you with temporary registration. After receiving such a letter, FMS employees send the applicant a notification with the date when he can appear for registration.

Temporary registration through State Services looks almost identical. After registering on the website, the citizen goes to the Federal Migration Service section and fills out an application form.

This method differs from the previous ones in that registration through State Services does not require the consent of the home owner. In addition, temporary registration in another city through State Services allows you to save time and nerves
. After submitting the necessary documents, you can register using any of the above methods within three days.

Some citizens are interested in the validity period of temporary registration. Document validity periods vary from one month to 5 years

. After the validity period expires, you need to collect documents and submit an application again.

How much does temporary registration cost? For Russian citizens this procedure is free

. Therefore, passport office employees have no right to collect fees or demand payment for their services.

For citizens of other states, the cost of temporary registration is 215 rubles. In large cities there are legal centers that, along with the Federal Migration Service, register citizens, but do this on a paid basis
. Interestingly, there is no end to clients in such intermediary organizations. The cost of registration here varies from 500 to 5,000 rubles, depending on the length of stay.

But by contacting an intermediary, citizens are at great risk. Here are some reasons:

fake forms with fake stamps are issued, which are not registered with the Federal Migration Service. If a citizen is caught with such a fake by police officers, in addition to a fine for being without registration, he faces charges of forgery of documents;
Intermediaries usually do not require a person’s actual residence at the place of registration, so several residents can be registered at one address. Such addresses are calculated by police officers, and the registration documents are canceled.

Therefore, we recommend registering legally.

Registration of a minor

If a person is in temporary housing with a child, he is registered. Minors are registered at the same address where their parents live.

Children aged 14 to 18 years old submit an application independently, through their account on the State Services portal.

The application must additionally include information about one of the parents, guardian or trustee. In other respects, the procedure is similar.

On behalf of persons under 14 years of age, papers are submitted by a legal representative. The application contains a separate paragraph containing information about the child who needs to be registered. The certificate is drawn up in the name of the minor.

A child needs a short-term registration for kindergarten or school. It also gives the right to be assigned to a children's clinic and use medical care.

Temporary registration of foreigners

Migration registration of foreigners who came to the Russian Federation on a visa or visa-free basis is carried out by structural divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. All issues are regulated by Law No. 115-FZ of July 25, 2002.

Pros and cons of obtaining registration in a house through the State Services portal

It is much easier to obtain a residence permit and registration through the website than before
. Surprisingly, you cannot find any negative comments about the use of State Services to change your residence permit or register for temporary registration on the Internet. Literally everyone says in unison that this is one of the fastest procedures. It takes no more than 10 minutes to fill out the questionnaire and application. At the same time, there is no need to even leave your previous place of residence. The service provides everything and makes it easy to register a new wife in the apartment.

The only nuance is related to the technical side of the issue and the regulations of the platform. To receive the service, you must confirm your identity at one of the specialized points, at the post office or at banks. The portal also freezes periodically. You may have to wait a little while measures are taken to return State Services to the ranks of useful Russian portals.

How long does registration take?

In most situations, the applicant is registered before the end of 3 days. If not the entire package of papers is provided, the receipt period is increased to 7-10 days. During this time, the provision of public services is suspended until obstacles are eliminated.

In a situation where the papers are sent by registered mail, the period for receiving government services increases by the postal mileage. The period for issuing a certificate is counted from the date of receipt of correspondence by the migration authority. You can find out about the readiness of the document by phone.

Advantages of registering through State Services

Temporary registration through the State Services portal is much more convenient than other methods.

This provides the following benefits:

the online resource constantly updates the list of services;
registration is quick;
there are no queues;
you can familiarize yourself with the requirements for documents;
a person has the right to submit an application on any day;

If you contact the Ministry of Internal Affairs in person, the specialist will give you an estimated date of appearance. You should clarify information about government services by phone.

Owner's risks

Some homeowners refuse to let tenants in, citing their reluctance to register a tenant on their property. What are the consequences of temporary registration for the owner? Let's understand the tenant's rights.

Having issued temporary registration, a person has the right to live in the owner’s apartment for a specified time. Typically, the time frame is set by the terms of the lease agreement. Temporary registration does not give you the right to make any transactions with real estate.

Please note that a temporary tenant has the right to register newborns and minor children (his own) in the rented apartment, but the owner’s consent is not required for this. This is the point that confuses many homeowners.

What does this mean for the owner? Basically nothing. The only thing the landlord cannot do is evict the tenants with a newborn child onto the street before the lease expires.

Taking these features into account, it is always necessary to document the time frame of the lease agreement. Please note that the owner cannot evict temporary residents, citing the sale of housing. Even if the apartment is sold, registration gives people the right to occupy the premises until the lease expires.

Please note that temporary registration of a newborn or minor child gives the tenant the right to demand from the owner an extension of the registration period. If the latter refuses, legal action may follow. To avoid unpleasant situations, these points must be discussed in advance.

Please note that the owner of the premises bears full responsibility for the actions of the tenant. If the tenant causes damage to the neighbors' property, the landlord will be responsible.

If the owner refuses to issue temporary registration for the tenants, he faces a fine of up to 2,500 rubles. In cases where the procedure is delayed due to the fault of the tenant, responsibility falls on the latter

. If the temporary registration is fictitious, that is, the tenant actually lives in another place, the owner faces a fine of up to 5,000 rubles.

It indicates the timing and place of obtaining the certificate. If a citizen misses a meeting without good reason, a notice of cancellation of the application indicating the reasons will appear in his personal account.
. Registration on the site is free for everyone, however, when acting through a representative, certification of a document by a notary is a paid service. How to fill out an application If an application is filled out by a citizen under 14 years of age, his official representatives act on his behalf.

How safe is temporary registration?

A temporary tenant has no right to claim ownership of the property. A citizen can only live indoors. When the registration period expires, he is obliged to move out.

If the owner intends to sell the apartment, it is not recommended to issue short-term registration to third parties. This could stall the deal. Also, you should not give registration to unscrupulous citizens.

When a new tenant moves in, the cost of utilities increases, as he uses water, electricity, and gas.

To avoid additional expenses, you need to draw up a rental contract with the citizen, which requires him to pay the rent. It is also possible to sign an agreement on the distribution of housing and communal services costs.
