Where to get title documents for an apartment
Depending on the exact method in which the property was transferred into ownership, there are different documents.
For example, if this is a sale, then a purchase and sale agreement is required, if an exchange - an exchange agreement, if an inheritance - a certificate of the right to inherit by law or by will, and so on.
In total, experts identify more than 20 such documents, depending on the classification they use.
Owners of cooperative apartments built before 1993 have a Registration Certificate from the BTI. The owner of the housing could receive it if the dilapidated house is demolished.
A registered exchange agreement is issued for this type of property.
If the apartment was acquired by court, this is confirmed by a registered court decision that has entered into legal force.

The importance of obtaining a certificate of state registration
In addition to the fact that when you receive real estate, you receive a title document - this is not at all enough to rightfully be considered the owner of the property.
To take full ownership of a property, you also need to have papers that would confirm the legitimacy of your housing documents, i.e. so-called legal documents.
Since 1998, only one document can confirm your right to a property.
And such an act is an entry in the Unified State Register of Rights (USRP).
Such a record, as a rule, is confirmed by only three types of documents, which differ depending on the period of acquisition of ownership of the residential premises:
- BTI registration certificate. It concerns ownership of real estate transferred into ownership before 01/31/1998.
- Certificate of state registration of rights. It is issued for those objects the rights to which were acquired since 02/01/1998.
- Certificate of home ownership. Such a document was issued during the privatization of real estate in the 90s.
Such certificates, which can confirm ownership of real estate, are issued by the BTI on the basis of acts that establish ownership of housing and registration certificates.
And already possessing such a document, the owner has full opportunity to dispose of the property at his own discretion, naturally, within the framework of the law.
Requirements for title documents
The documents that serve as confirmation of your right to your housing may be different, but they all differ in one thing - they are subject to the same, absolutely certain requirements, without which such paper simply will not be considered valid:
- Full description of the object, i.e. real estate, as well as all the information with which it is possible to identify it (for example, data such as the address of the property, its purpose, as well as the cadastral number of the property, etc.).
- Data of the copyright holder, as well as the type of right he has to the specified property.
Clear technical requirements:
- Text legibility.
- Full decoding of names, non-abbreviation of initials and addresses.
- Appropriate appearance (no erasures, additions, pencil inscriptions, or ambiguous text).
- Correct execution (stamped either by a notary or a certain government agency, appropriate numbering of sheets and their stitching).
What documents does BTI issue?
The BTI issues a certificate indicating the inventory value of the property and its plan, which is confirmed by an explication. If a share or plot is registered in the cadastral register, then usually the documents required when inheriting a share of land include only the cadastral value. The assessment is carried out with the aim that the heir has the right to alienate – sale, exchange and other manipulations with the apartment, and the assessment is also needed to register ownership.
Please note that a notary may offer to indicate the market or cadastral value of the apartment in certificates - registration and state fees will cost several times more.
Why is a certificate required?
This paper states the property. It is certified by an authorized employee with his signature and the seal of the organization. The paper contains the following information:
- number and date of registration;
- type of operation performed;
- legal address of the property;
- residential real estate data;
- personal information about the owner.
An individual with documents has the right to submit an application to the Technical Inventory Bureau (BTI). Such paper is required to obtain rights to land or residential real estate. It is also required with a change or transfer of ownership, or termination of rights. Sometimes this paper is required for court or law enforcement purposes. Often a certificate is necessary to obtain a mortgage or subsidy.
Submission rules
How can I get a certificate from the BTI? An application must be submitted to this institution indicating the purpose. You must also submit the required documents. At the time indicated by the employee, contact the BTI. To receive a certificate by mail, it is important to send a request to the BTI address with a list of documents:
- statement;
- confirmation of payment for services;
- passport;
- child's birth certificate;
- Marriage certificate;
- power of attorney.
All documentation except the first two must be submitted in the form of copies. With these papers, the applicant is provided with a certificate by mail. Order paper via the Internet. You need to send your application by email to the Bureau. It must indicate:
- date;
- FULL NAME;
- Number of copies;
- Goal of request;
- Passport data;
- Registration;
- Date of receipt of passport;
- Signature;
- Phone number.
Scans of documents must be attached to the application. For your passport, you need to make a copy of the page with your photo, registration, marital status, and place of issue. Women must provide a scanned copy of their birth and marriage certificates.
When the application and copies of documents are sent, the applicant receives a response confirmation of receipt by email. After some time, a letter is received with information about the result of the application and the time of paper production. It will indicate the payment details and amount.
In case of refusal, the reason is recorded and advice on how to apply is provided. The prescribed amount must be paid through any bank to the specified details. Then you should email the bureau with information about the number and date of the receipt and bank details. After submitting the application and paying for the service, you must send an envelope with copies of papers, as well as an empty envelope with a designated return address, to the legal address by regular mail.
How to get a certificate from the BTI
To obtain such a certificate, it is often necessary to call a BTI technical employee to inspect the structure or premises and draw up new technical documentation or change existing ones. To submit an application to the BTI you will need the following documents: - passport; — document of ownership; - if you are not the owner - a notarized power of attorney from the owner of the house; - if we are talking about inheritance - a request from a notary; — letter of guarantee (for legal entities); — balance holder visa (for tenants); — birth (death) certificate; — certificate of marriage (divorce).
Validity
The validity period for the certificate issued by the Bureau of Technical Control is not always the same.
Therefore, when wondering how long it is relevant, it is important to first determine what it is for. The timing depends on the intended purpose. For example, for the redevelopment of a residential apartment, the validity period of the certificate received will be from one to five years. In this case, the owner will need to issue a new technical passport and plan, cadastral passport and plan if they were issued more than five years ago. An ordinary statement is valid for no more than one year. It displays information from the technical passport (at the same time, the cadastral passport still plays a big role): total area, floor plan, date of putting the property into operation (for buildings), what materials were used.
Information regarding the cost will be valid for one month, and is most relevant when registering an inheritance with a notary. It should not be forgotten that this assessment will differ from the market value, since the cadastral calculation is carried out differently.
And an even shorter validity period for certificates, the form of which is aimed at equipping attics for residential premises. Such a document can only be obtained with validity for ten days.
