What is temporary registration?
Temporary registration at the place of residence is the entry of information into the migration department database about a person’s residence at a specific address (outside the place of permanent registration). A certificate is issued to confirm the procedure performed. Temporary registration information is not included in the passport.
Place of stay is a room that meets sanitary and safety standards and is intended for living. For example, an apartment; hotel; hospital, if treatment is carried out for a long period of time, etc.
The document is required for employment and receiving government services. Thus, the issuance of a passport, driver’s license, and loan is carried out subject to registration. The placement of a child in an educational or training institution will also not be possible without registration.
Registration actions are carried out only with the consent of the property owner. The exception is minor citizens who are automatically registered with their parents.
The presence of citizens within the walls of a hotel, medical institution or sanatorium for more than 90 days obliges an authorized person to carry out registration (hotel manager, head physician, director of the institution, etc.).
Evasion from fulfillment of the prescribed obligation on the part of the property owner (and on the part of the resident) leads to penalties provided for by administrative legislation.
Procedure for obtaining temporary registration
The first thing to do is to obtain the consent of the homeowner. The second is to collect documents. The only authority responsible for processing temporary registration is the Department of Migration Issues.
Important:
legal entities offering registration without entering into the database are carrying out illegal actions.
Papers are provided to the migration department in the following ways:
- On a personal visit. The owner of the property must also appear with the person registering.
- Via postal service. The papers and consent of the homeowner must be certified by a notary. A valuable registered letter with notification is sent. The notification is a document confirming receipt of the message, and the specified date of delivery determines the period for preparing the registration.
- Through the Multifunctional Center. In this case, the personal presence of the owner or his notarized consent to registration is required. The preparation time for registration will take longer than with a personal visit to the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, since it is necessary to take into account 1-2 days for the transfer of papers to the authorized body.
- Homeowners' associations and housing cooperatives have the right to accept documentation. The representative of the institution submits the papers himself to the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After the allotted time has passed, you must pick up the documents. Receipt is carried out at the place indicated in the application. For example, if documents were submitted in person to the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then receipt is carried out there.
A certificate of temporary registration at the place of stay is issued. The document indicates the details of the registered person, address and time of residence, and the date of the procedure. The form is stamped with the words “GUVM MVD” or the old-style “FMS”.
In extreme cases, when the apartment owner refuses to register at the place of residence, people turn to intermediary companies. An employee of the organization accepts documents, selects an apartment with an owner who agrees to carry out registration for a fee. The procedure is carried out through the Office of Migration Affairs
Temporary registration scheme
- It is necessary to submit an urgent (temporary) registration to the Federal Migration Service;
- Temporary registration is carried out only in the presence of all owners of the housing in which the citizen intends to register;
- It is necessary to submit documents that serve as the basis for moving in, i.e. a document confirming the availability of living space and the owner’s consent to register this citizen in his area;
- Identity proof of both the prescriber and the registrant.
By the way, temporary registration is automatically canceled after 90 days.
. At the same time, when registering at the place of residence, this citizen is not removed from his place of permanent residence.
So what are the minimum and maximum deadlines for urgent registration?
Required documents
To register a person, the following documents will be required:
- A document confirming the identity of the registering person. For an adult, this is a passport; for persons under 14 years of age - birth certificate.
- Apartment owner's passport.
- A certificate from the real estate register confirming that the property belongs to a specific person. If necessary, information is independently requested by a management employee.
- A document confirming the legal ownership of property. For example, a social lease agreement, deed of gift, will, etc.
- Written consent of the owner and registered persons to register a new person.
- Application for registration at the place of residence.
- House book, if registration is carried out at a private address. The book is kept by the owner of the property.
- Departure and arrival sheet, if a citizen has been discharged from the old address, but cannot register at the new one on a permanent basis. In this case, temporary registration at the place of stay is issued. For example, with relatives or in a hotel.
If you stay on the territory of the subject for more than 3 months, registration is required. For example, when staying in a hotel during a long business trip, undergoing surgery and subsequent rehabilitation in a hospital, etc. In such situations, the responsible person takes care of his residents - he independently draws up a document on stay. To do this, you only need to provide a passport or birth certificate (for children under 14 years old).
HOW DOES A RF CITIZEN REGISTER AT THE PLACE OF RESIDENCE?
The place of residence of a citizen is the place (house, apartment, room) where he permanently or primarily resides (Clause 1, Article 20 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
Reference. Place of residence and place of stay of a citizen of the Russian Federation
The place of residence of a citizen of the Russian Federation includes a residential building, apartment, room or other residential premises in which he permanently or primarily resides as the owner, under a rental agreement or on other legal grounds and in which he is registered at the place of residence.
The place of stay includes, in particular, a hotel, sanatorium, rest home, medical organization or residential premises that are not the place of residence of a citizen of the Russian Federation, in which he resides temporarily (Article 2 of the Law of the Russian Federation of June 25, 1993 N 5242-1).
A citizen who has changed his place of residence is obliged, no later than seven days from the date of arrival at his new place of residence, to apply for registration at the new place of residence (Part 1, Article 6 of Law No. 5242-1).
Note. During the period of the 2021 FIFA World Cup in the Russian Federation (from 05/25/2018 to 07/25/2018) and the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup (from 06/01/2017 to 07/12/2017), citizens of the Russian Federation who arrived, in particular, in Moscow and St. Petersburg for a new place of residence, are obliged no later than three days from the date of arrival to contact the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for registration. This requirement does not apply to event participants (clauses “a”, “e”, paragraph 4 of Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated 05/09/2017 N 202).
Procedure for registration at place of residence
To register in residential premises at your place of residence, we recommend following the following algorithm.
Step 1. Prepare the necessary documents
To register at the place of residence, it is necessary to prepare the following documents (clause 16 of the Rules, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 17, 1995 N 713; clause 26 of the Administrative Regulations, approved by Order of the Federal Migration Service of Russia dated September 11, 2012 N 288; Article 35 of the Law of July 3, 2016 N 305-FZ):
1. Identity document of a citizen of the Russian Federation (passport, birth certificate for persons under 14 years of age).
2. A document that serves as the basis for moving into residential premises (one of the following):
Statement from the person(s) who provided the citizen with residential premises;
Agreement;
Certificate of state registration of ownership of residential premises;
Court decision recognizing the right to use residential premises;
Another document (duly certified copy) confirming the existence of the right to use the residential premises.
This means that a child under 14 years of age can only be registered at the place of registration of his legal representatives or one of them. Registration is carried out on the basis of identification documents of parents (adoptive parents), or documents confirming the establishment of guardianship, and a birth certificate of a minor child.
According to the immigration legislation of the Russian Federation, citizens of other states who arrived in the Russian Federation must officially register their temporary stay on the territory of the Russian Federation
within 3 working days, otherwise their stay in Russia will be considered illegal.
However, temporary registration is needed not only for foreigners, but also for Russian citizens
who, for one reason or another, are staying in a subject of the federation for more than three months (90 days) where they do not have a permanent or permanent residence.
At the same time, the urgent registration scheme for citizens of the Russian Federation and foreigners is basically the same. The only differences are in the deadlines.
Validity period of temporary registration
Registration at the place of residence is carried out for the duration of your stay at the designated address. There are no minimum registration periods established by law. Therefore, you can apply for temporary registration for 1 month. Although in some structural units of the migration service, employees believe that the minimum period is 3 months. This opinion is not based on legislation. Therefore, you can safely require registration for a period of 1 month.
In other cases, the time of temporary registration is determined by agreement of the parties if the housing is provided for free use or by a commercial lease agreement. You can register for social rent for a period not exceeding six months. The registration is then extended with the consent of the residents and the landlord.
If there is a concluded commercial lease of housing, registration is issued for the duration of the contract. It can be 6 months, a year or any other period not exceeding five years. Most often, the contract is concluded for 11 months or a year.
Deregistration can be done at any time. To do this, you must write an application to the authority that issued the registration. This can be done by either the landlord or the registered person.
Citizens of the Russian Federation
For persons with Russian citizenship, general registration rules apply. A citizen must register in the provided housing if the period of his stay is more than 90 days and there is the consent of the owner. The minimum term is not established by law, the maximum is 5 years.
Foreigners
Registration is carried out by the receiving party, and in rare cases the burden of registration falls on the arriving foreigner. Registration must be done within a week from the date of arrival in the country. Seven days can also be counted from the moment of receipt of a temporary residence permit or temporary residence permit.
To register you need:
- passport;
- residence permit or temporary residence permit in the country;
- document confirming the right of residence at a specific address (deed of gift, lease, etc.)
Registration is issued for:
- the duration of the visa if the foreigner arrived from a visa country;
- 90 days if the foreign citizen arrived from a visa-free state.
After the specified time has expired, the foreign citizen is obliged to leave the Russian Federation or renew registration in the presence of compelling circumstances. An application for extension of stay in the country is submitted to the Main Department of Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs 2 weeks before the expiration of the temporary registration. Evidence must be provided to support your application. For example, extension of an employment contract. The application is reviewed within a week, then the decision is communicated to the applicant. If the answer is yes, then a registration with a new deadline is issued. If the decision is negative, then during the remaining 7 days of legal stay the foreigner is obliged to leave the territory of Russia.
In some situations, the period of temporary registration is reduced. This happens if:
- Stay in the Russian Federation exceeded 3 months within six months.
- There is a ban on crossing the Russian border.
- The training was completed ahead of schedule.
- The purpose of the visit does not correspond to the activity.
- There are offenses.
The President of the Russian Federation issued Decree No. 364 dated June 15, 2021, according to which, after June 16, 2021, temporary measures to regulate the legal status of foreign citizens and stateless persons in the Russian Federation are extended during the period of overcoming the consequences of the spread of the new coronavirus infection (COVID -19).

Things to remember - pitfalls
Save the article in 2 clicks:
Temporary registration has its pitfalls:
- Late registration is punishable by a fine. Moreover, penalties apply to both the owner of the property and the residents living there. It will be possible to obtain temporary registration only after paying the fine.
- Registration of minors. By virtue of the law, children are registered at the place of residence of their parents without the prior approval of the property owner. In such a situation, there is the possibility of an incident arising: the child may be registered for a period exceeding the period of residence of the parents. After its expiration, the parent will be able to register together with the child, since a minor cannot be registered under 14 years of age without parents.
- Increase in utility bills. Therefore, it is first necessary to agree on who will bear the costs of paying for utilities. Moreover, this should be documented in writing so that the property owner can subsequently recover the funds in court.
- Use of the provided housing for purposes other than its intended purpose.
Now, when people constantly travel or change their place of residence, even changing countries, pressing questions become how and where this person will be registered. It is also important to determine what documents need to be filled out and who issues them, so as not to have any problems with the law in the future. Therefore, every citizen must become familiar with the rules and laws that govern the procedure for registration and temporary residence registration in a particular country. The same applies to visitors to the territory of the Russian Federation.

Rule for registering a newborn at the place of residence
While you are euphoric about the arrival of a long-awaited event in the life of a family, you should not forget about the need to register a newborn child.
The first documents that the mother receives are information and a certificate from the maternity hospital. Then the registry office receives a birth certificate. And already having this first document for the baby in hand, and taking their passports, parents can apply for registration of their newborn child.
Children under 14 years of age can only live at the address of their parents or persons replacing them by law. It is prohibited to register them with other relatives. If the parents are not the owners of the property, but they managed to register their place of residence themselves in order to register the newborn, the owner’s consent is not required. Therefore the procedure is very simple.
The presence of one of the parents (preferably the mother) is sufficient to register a newborn child. If they have different living spaces, and it is decided to register the newborn with the father, then registration cannot take place without the written consent of the mother.
It is important to know that you do not need to provide any statement about how many people are registered in the living space, or even more so a document on payment of utility bills. In any case, the authorized bodies must register the newborn within a time limit and fines must also be taken into account.
The period for registration of a newborn is one month from his birth. However, the maximum period for registering a newborn in the registry office is also one month. Based on this discrepancy, registration authorities usually proceed from the date on which the birth certificate was received.
There are articles on the Internet where you can find information that the timing of registration of a newborn has not been established. However, the time when the law on registration and other legal acts did not contain a deadline for registering a newborn ended back in 2015. The new registration rules provide for fines for violations, the amount of which reaches 2.5 thousand rubles.
Thus, today there is a time limit on how long a baby can be without registration. Therefore, you need to try to do everything quickly and meet the deadline for the registration of the newborn. All documents are submitted at the same time. Typically, the period after which a document is received is from 3 to 5 days. If officials delay the registration of a newborn, they themselves may face a fine of up to 2.5 thousand rubles.
What does temporary registration mean and how to do it?
Temporary registration is the registration of citizens to a specific address, which is not their permanent place of residence, and is done for a certain period. This happens in cases where a person is not at his place of residence for more than 90 days. At the same time, he is not deregistered from the place of registration - he remains registered there. In the laws that regulate all actions related to this term, there are two definitions: and permanent registration.
And what we are used to calling registration is, in fact, permanent registration, which has a number of criteria under which it is done:
- with the consent of the employer and all adults who live with him;
- with the consent of the owners of the premises to stay;
- with a positive response from a legal entity that is the owner of the housing stock.
If a citizen has children, then registration is given to them without parental consent.
This document must be in writing with all signatures, as well as notarized in order to have legal force.
This procedure is done free of charge, so if they demand money from you for this, then you need to contact the prosecutor’s office and do it immediately!
When the validity period of this document expires, the person is deregistered automatically, so there is no need to contact the service responsible for this again. Only if a citizen leaves the country ahead of the deadline indicated in the application for place of residence, it is necessary to contact the FMS.
Many may think that registration is not a prerequisite for fulfillment, but this is not so. It is thanks to this document that you will be able to obtain various documents, loans, get a job, enroll your children in kindergarten, and also receive medical care. And these are not all the benefits that come with having a residence permit with a temporary residence address.
Refusal to register carries administrative liability in the form of a fine. This means if you initially refused to submit documents to the service to obtain registration, and not if you were refused to do them.
Every foreigner who comes to the territory of Russia should find out in advance how long he can stay without a residence permit and, within 7 days, take up the issue of prompt registration, or an administrative fine will be imposed on him. Possible deportation from the country.
If you come as a tourist, you will need to fill out a special migration card. And in the place where you will apply for it, they will also tell you how long you can stay in the country, what the minimum and maximum terms are and all other nuances.
Registration of temporary registration: how, why and for how long?
If for any reason you leave your main place of residence and live in a new place for more than 90 days, you need to obtain a temporary residence permit. What is it and what is it for? We'll look into it in today's article.
Temporary registration is the “assignment” of a citizen to a specific address, which is not his main place of residence, for a certain period of time. Please note that temporary registration is not a basis for termination of registration at the main place of residence.
Obtaining temporary registration is possible only with the consent of the owner of the residential premises, while the registered citizen will not have any property rights to this premises - only the opportunity to live in it.
Registration of minor children at the place of residence of their parents is carried out automatically.
The period of temporary stay of a citizen at a new place of residence is determined by agreement of the parties, but cannot exceed 5 years. At the end of the temporary registration period, registration is canceled automatically without the need to visit the FMS authorities. The exception is when a citizen leaves a new place of residence earlier than the stated date.
Why do you need temporary registration?
Registration of temporary registration allows a citizen to legally stay at a new place of residence and will be necessary for:
* Preparation of documents (for example, international passport or pension certificate);
* Registration of loans and borrowings;
* Enrolling a child in kindergarten or school;
* Employment;
* Receiving medical care;
* Receiving social support measures and so on.
How much does temporary registration cost?
There is no state fee for registration of temporary registration, which means its registration is absolutely free for citizens.
How to apply for temporary registration?
To obtain registration at the place of residence, you must provide the following documents to the Federal Migration Service:
* Application for temporary registration;
* Passport;
* A document confirming your stay in a new place (for example, a rental or rental agreement);
* Written consent of the owner of the residential premises, certified by a notary or the body responsible for temporary registration.
As a result, the citizen will be issued a certificate of registration at the place of residence. In this case, the passport is not stamped.
What happens if you don’t get temporary registration?
For intentionally living without temporary registration, a citizen will be held administratively liable in the form of a fine in the amount of 1,500 to 2,500 rubles. The fine must be paid no later than 30 days from the date of its issuance.

Maximum period of temporary registration
There are certain periods under which citizens can be holders of temporary registration.
The minimum period implies that any citizen of the Russian Federation can stay in the country for 90 days without registration, and a representative of another country must take care of this within up to seven days. The law does not pay much attention to the minimum terms, especially with regard to the registration of foreigners. More attention is focused on nonresident residents of the Russian Federation, who must resolve issues of registration at their place of residence in 90 days, and citizens of another country in 3-7 days.
If we are talking about the maximum period of stay of foreign citizens, then the law has a clear definition of how long they can stay in the country. And this is no more than 90 days. But for those who have an employment contract, there are different requirements. Because then a person can stay in the Russian Federation exactly as long as specified in his agreement. To do this, he needs to contact the registration service and renew his registration at his residence address. For students from other countries, there is also a separate requirement that allows them to stay in Russia exactly as long as their studies last. Proof of this can be a student’s certificate, which indicates that this student is a student of a particular Russian university. Thus, we can say that the maximum period for foreign citizens is about one year.
As for Russian citizens, their periods of stay at their place of temporary registration cannot be clearly described. This period depends on the agreement that is drawn up between the registered person and the owner of the property. But this period cannot be more than five years.
The whole procedure is quite simple for both foreigners and Russian citizens. The main thing is that everything is completed within a strictly allotted time frame. And all in order not to have unnecessary problems and worries. It is important to note that the law is quite lenient towards this type of violation.
But it’s still better to familiarize yourself with all the most important provisions of the law on temporary residence. To know about the correctness of actions not only of your own, but also of government officials and law enforcement agencies. None of us wants to find ourselves in difficult situations, and especially to participate in court proceedings, just because we do not know basic things about our place of residence for a certain period of time. Therefore, everything possible should be done to avoid this.

Every year millions of tourists and tens of thousands of those who decide to stay here for a long time come to Moscow. Maximum period of temporary registration in Moscow
, first of all, depends on which country you are a citizen of.
First, we should talk about the two main types of registration - permanent and temporary. If permanent registration is, in fact, your registration at a specific address for a long period, then temporary registration is registration at the place of your current stay. The timing of temporary registration in Moscow
is determined by the authorities of the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation.
If for citizens of the Russian Federation the maximum period of registration in Moscow
is 5 years, then for foreign citizens this period is limited to only a year.
Registration deadlines in Moscow
for citizens of different countries are different. For example, a 90-day stay in the capital without registration is allowed not only for citizens of the Russian Federation, but also for citizens of Belarus and Kazakhstan, and for citizens of Tajikistan a 15-day stay in the capital without registration is provided. If a foreign citizen plans to stay in a metropolis for more than 3 days, he must register with the migration authorities.
Registration time in Moscow
and the method of its registration also depend on the purpose of the person’s arrival. If a foreigner arrives in Moscow as a tourist, he usually checks into a hotel. In this case, it is the hotel administration that must ensure that all the necessary documents are completed on time. To do this, the administration sends a notification to the Federal Migration Service about the arrival of a foreigner indicating the exact date of his arrival. In turn, the foreigner must have a migration card, where a mark will be placed on crossing the Russian border. Another situation is if a citizen comes to Moscow as a labor migrant. In this case, the passport and migration card must be presented to the receiving party. The receiving party can be either an employer or an individual, but must be a citizen of the Russian Federation. In the case of an employment contract, the maximum period of temporary registration for foreign citizens can be extended only after submitting to the Federal Migration Service the relevant document confirming the fact of your place of work in a particular company.
Not long ago, it became possible to obtain temporary registration in Moscow also by notification. To do the latter, the receiving party just needs to contact the territorial body of the Federal Migration Service or send a notice of the migrant’s arrival by mail or using the government services portal via the Internet.
Citizens of the Russian Federation, as well as foreign citizens arriving for a short period of time, have the right to independently choose in which region and in which region of the country they want to be. If their stay is long, then the person is required to register with the local migration service. The rules for temporary registration are different in each region. Let's figure out how long temporary registration is given, what fines there are for late registration or absence.
When temporary registration is necessary, how much time is given for its registration will depend on whether the person has Russian citizenship.
Migration legislation obliges all foreign citizens to register within seven working days of their stay in the country. Otherwise, the fact of being on the territory of the Russian Federation is considered illegal.
Temporary registration for citizens of the Russian Federation is required if they are not at their place of permanent residence for more than 3 months.
How is it different from constant
The main difference between temporary registration in another region and permanent registration is that it is issued for a limited period.
Temporary registration: why is it needed?
When arriving in another city for permanent residence (for more than three months), Russian citizens and foreigners are required to do temporary registration: in this way, government agencies control the migration of the population. Violation of the passport regime in our country is punishable by a fine.
Temporary registration: why is it needed and how to apply it correctly
All citizens of the Russian Federation are required to register at their place of residence, however, when moving to another city, many are faced with the reluctance of owners to register tenants on their square meters. The biggest fear of property owners is not taxes, but the possibility of losing their apartment due to registration fraud. In fact, everything is not as scary as it might seem at first glance.
Why is temporary registration needed:
1. For official employment (especially when it comes to state-owned companies or financial institutions).
2. So that you can be assigned to the clinic closest to your place of residence and enroll your child in school or kindergarten.
3. To obtain a loan or mortgage in a specific city, quickly complete documents with government agencies.
Despite the fact that a child is required to be admitted to a school or kindergarten without registration, in practice parents receive a refusal to admit a minor to an educational institution. Especially when it comes to Moscow and St. Petersburg.
“At one time, temporary registration was introduced in Russia to combat terrorism, bring rentals out of the shadows and solve a number of problems with housing and communal services. The government pursued good goals, however, in practice everything led to the sale of registration in “rubber apartments”. As they say, if there is demand, there is supply. In this regard, many “companies” have appeared promising to provide temporary registration for 5-20 thousand rubles. In fact, scammers sell fake documents. For fictitious registration, at best, you can get away with a fine, at worst, imprisonment for up to two years,” says Alexey Shmonov, CEO of the real estate portal Move.ru.
To receive this service, you officially need to collect a package of documents and submit it to the Federal Migration Service. All this is done quickly and absolutely free! For this you will need:
- passport (for a child – birth certificate);
- application for registration from you, application from the owner;
- evidence of the owner’s rights to the housing where you are staying;
- lease contract.
Temporary registration is issued for a period from one month to five years; after its expiration, this procedure will have to be repeated.
What is the homeowner's risk?
Temporary registration does not give the right to dispose of real estate. The only thing the property owner should be aware of is that the tenant in this case can make the same registration for a minor child. And it will be possible to evict the family only after the expiration of the contract, not earlier.
Moreover, if the owner does not want to register the people living in the apartment, he may be fined 2.5-5 thousand rubles. The employer will also have a hard time! For staying in another city (not at your place of permanent residence) for more than three months without temporary registration, you are also subject to a fine of 3-5 thousand rubles.
A foreign citizen staying in our country for more than a week must notify the FMS of his place of stay no later than 7 days after entering Russia. To obtain registration you need a passport and migration card. If a foreigner stays in Russia for less than a week from the moment of crossing the border, temporary registration is not required.
How does the registration process work?
Temporary registration for foreigners and Russian citizens is issued according to the same scheme:
- Submission to the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (FMS) with a request to begin registration.
- Providing identification (usually a passport).
- Providing all documents that confirm the consent of the property owner. Most often, a lease agreement is provided as the consent of the owner. The contract cannot be concluded for a period of more than 5 years. The contract must specify the validity period. If the validity period is still not specified, then it is generally accepted that it was concluded for 5 years.
When submitting an application, not only the person who is registering is present, but also all existing homeowners. Registration will not be carried out unless there is permission from each home owner. Moreover, if the owner is a minor citizen of the Russian Federation, then it will be necessary to obtain consent from the guardianship authorities.
What is
Temporary registration is a Certificate containing the following information:
- To whom is it issued?
- What address will the person live at?
- For what period is it issued?
The form is pasted or inserted into the applicant’s passport.
How long does it take to complete the registration?
After receiving a complete set of papers, guardianship officials will consider the application. You can pick up your passport and Certificate in an average of 3 business days. The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for the possibility of consideration of an application from 3 to 8 days.
For what period is it issued?
One of the questions that most often worries people who apply for registration is the question of how long the temporary registration is for.
The timing of temporary registration for citizens of the Russian Federation and foreigners is different. The minimum period of temporary registration for citizens of the Russian Federation and foreign citizens has not been established.
Most often, passport office employees carry out registration for 3 months. However, if a citizen needs registration for a shorter period, he can request (indicate in his application) registration for exactly the period that he needs.
The maximum period of temporary registration at the place of stay for foreigners allowed by the legislation of the Russian Federation is 3 months. In some situations, registration can be extended.
The registration period for Russians is regulated by an agreement concluded between the registered person and the owner of the living space. The maximum possible period is 5 years.
The registration, which is made for treatment, recovery in boarding houses, sanatoriums, will be issued for the duration of the referral or voucher (i.e., on the basis of the papers used to check into the medical institution).
Temporary registration
People are registered permanently at their place of residence. This fact is confirmed by a mark in the passport. But if you are planning a business trip, trains to visit relatives, for vacation, treatment, or for some other reason anywhere in the country, there is a need for registration at the place of residence of citizens.
Depending on where it is carried out, the procedure for registering Russian citizens at their place of residence is slightly different. A person planning to temporarily register at a particular address must provide the following documents:
- passport;
- statement;
- paper on the basis of which temporary registration is issued.
In Russia there is a limit on how long you need to register. This period is 3 months. If this period of temporary registration is not observed, you will have to pay a fine for violating the law.
When temporary registration is made on the basis of a social lease agreement, the applicant has the right not to provide
the above papers, and provide only their details in your application. Then the registration authority will send a request, and after that registration at the place of residence is carried out. However, it is clear that when directly presenting documents or sending a request, the same period for registering a place of residence cannot be obtained. In the latter case, registration takes longer and takes eight working days.
A person has the right to inform the registration authority how long he expects to be at the address where he will be issued a temporary registration, not only in person, but also by e-mail, sending information through the State Services website.
The timing of temporary registration for citizens is determined by agreement:
- with the property owner;
- with the employer and family members, if he is registered in a municipal or housing building;
- with the board of the cooperative, if the housing does not belong to the owners by right of ownership.
The responsible persons who provided housing to the applicant and agreed on the period for which the temporary registration is to be made must submit all papers to the relevant authorities within 3 weeks. There, a temporary registration of place of residence is issued for the applicant and a document is issued. For how long can temporary registration be made? Usually it is 3 months. But, in some cases, an extension is provided when the period of temporary registration may be longer. This happens, for example, for nonresident students undergoing full-time studies at a university. The maximum period of temporary registration for citizens is five years. At the same time, the law does not provide for a minimum period of temporary registration for citizens. Therefore, citizens in this regard can proceed from the period during which they must provide information about where they live in a new place.
A document on temporary registration at the place of residence is sent by mail if such a request is received from a citizen. And the homeowner receives a notification about this. Regarding minor children, their registration and discharge are carried out at the place of temporary residence of parents or guardians without the consent of the home owners.
Upon arrival at a medical treatment facility or a hotel-type establishment, citizens of the Russian Federation are immediately given temporary registration. It is formalized by the administrative body. The registration procedure for citizens of the Russian Federation at the place of residence is formalized by the administration free of charge. At the same time, the Main Migration Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs provides all the necessary information about the applicant, as required by the basic rules for registration and deregistration.
A separate procedure for registration at the location is available in criminal correctional institutions. There, authorized bodies must submit registration information within a one-week period.
It is important to understand that when registering at the place of residence of citizens, their registration in the house where they lived all the time is not canceled. But what does temporary registration give then? First, it is required by law. But in addition to this, a citizen will be able to count, for example, on medical care at a clinic.
Having studied the main points of registering a place of residence, let’s move on to find out what registration at a place of residence represents for citizens.
Extension
If circumstances exist, it is possible to extend your registration; to do this, you need to contact the passport office with an application. Temporary registration can be extended if the foreigner has an employment contract. In this case, an extension is possible until the end of the employment contract period.
If a resident of another state is studying at a Russian university (as evidenced by the fact that he has a student card), then his period of stay on the territory of the state can be extended to 1 year.
There is no need to pay for the renewal procedure. You can submit papers for renewal via Mail.
Package of papers for renewal
The required package of papers includes:
- Application (if there is inaccurate information, the application will not be satisfied).
- Passport.
- Owner's consent.
- A paper confirming the existence of grounds for extension (employment contract/student card).
It is important to attach the Certificate that was originally issued to the package of papers.
Renewal via the Internet
Today renewal is possible via the Internet. To do this, go to the State Services website. Create a personal account. All pre-scanned documents are uploaded through your personal account. After downloading the files, you must click on the “Get” button.
Within a few days, employees of the Main Directorate for Migration and Migration (FMS) will contact the owner of the premises. If he does not confirm his consent to registration, the application will be canceled.
When the application is reviewed, the applicant will receive an SMS notification to the phone number they provided. After this, you will need to visit the local authorities of the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation to pick up a new Certificate.
Fines
If a citizen lives at the place of registration after the end of its validity period, he will be fined.
The amount of the fine depends on the region of residence. In St. Petersburg and Moscow, late payment is subject to a fine of three to five thousand Russian rubles. In other regions of the country, the fine will be from two to three thousand Russian rubles.
A fine for late payment is issued not only to the person who resides without permission, but also to the owner of the premises.
Registration of temporary registration is a mandatory procedure
for citizens of the Russian Federation and foreigners.
Naturally, it is issued for a specific time during which the person has the right to stay at the specified address.
