Temporary registration for citizens of the DPR and LPR

May decrees

Let us remind you that in May the Russian government prepared two Decrees : No. 183 and 187. According to Decree No. 183, residents of the DPR who are in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions and do not have any legal status in the Russian Federation can join the ranks of the Russians in a simplified manner. We wrote more about the application procedure for this category of applicants here.

Decree No. 187 also concerns obtaining Russian citizenship for Donbass. But it is aimed at those people from the LDPR who are already in Russia and have achieved some kind of status here, for example, temporary residence permit. Let's talk about such applicants in more detail.

Russian citizenship for Donbass: who can apply for it under Decree No. 187

Attention! In connection with the amendments of July 17, 2019, residents of not only the DPR/LPR, but any settlements in the Lugansk and Donetsk regions can obtain citizenship in a simplified manner according to Decree No. 187. Read more.

You are subject to the Decree if you meet the following conditions:

you are a citizen of Ukraine or a stateless person and have one of the statuses in Russia: temporary residence permit, residence permit, refugee status, temporary asylum, participant in the State program. Having one of the listed statuses when obtaining Russian citizenship is mandatory for the DPR;
the second mandatory condition is that you need registration in the Donetsk region on the date: 04/07/2014 or in Lugansk on 04/27/2014 .

Example No. 1. You were permanently registered in the Donetsk region in 2013. You have not been deregistered and it is still valid for you - in this case you fall under the Decree.

Example No. 2. You registered in the Donetsk region in 2013, and de-registered in 2015 - you qualify for simplified Russian citizenship for Donbass, since as of April 7, 2014 you were still registered in the DPR.

Example No. 3. You registered in the Donetsk region in June 2014 - in this case you do not fall under the Decree, since registration occurred later than the date required by law.

Note! Both conditions - having status in the Russian Federation and registration in the Lugansk or Donetsk regions - are required. If you have one, but not the other, then you will not be able to obtain Russian citizenship in a simplified manner according to Decree No. 187.

Who can become a Russian citizen together with the applicant

If you meet the conditions described above, then your closest relatives :

minor children;
children over 18 years of age;
mother father;
husband wife.

Those who go along with the applicant are popularly called “trailers”. The applicant's relatives are not required to have status in the Russian Federation, registration in Donetsk, etc.

The only thing that is needed is to prove the fact of relationship . A relative must be in the Russian Federation legally: according to all the rules, he crosses the border and registers for migration in Russia.

How to obtain Russian citizenship for Donbass if a person is traveling as a “trailer”

There are still many contradictions. For example, the Moscow Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs responds to requests from Ukrainians that spouses, parents, adult children of a resident of the Donetsk or Lugansk People's Republics can obtain citizenship of the Russian Federation separately from the applicant, that is, on a different day and even in a different city.

Response from the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Oath when obtaining Russian citizenship

From Elena Voropaeva
15.07.2019

But in fact, some inspectors require relatives to submit documents at the same time as the applicant. Therefore, this issue should be clarified with your migration department.

In any case, “trailers” prepare an application separately, collect their own package of papers, and also undergo a medical examination (if they do not have status in Russia). As for minor children, they go at the same time as their parents. Nowadays, both husband and wife often apply for Russian citizenship in Donbass at once. In this case, the child is included in only one application - the father or mother.

What documents to collect

The lists of papers have also been simplified. Residents of Donbass do not need:

provide proof of income;
take an exam in Russian;
renounce Ukrainian citizenship.

The lists of documents for Donbass when obtaining Russian citizenship are somewhat different in different regions.

Here is the main list:

Statement. A resident of Donetsk or another locality of the LDPR prepares an application on a special form (the application form and sample can be downloaded at the end of the article) in 2 copies. The application consists of 14 points, so filling it out is relatively simple. Print the application on both sides, that is, you will get 2 sheets (4 pages). Choose the filling method yourself - you can write by hand or on a computer. We wrote about how to prepare an application in this material.
Identity document. This can be a foreign passport, an internal Ukrainian passport or a DPR/LPR passport.
A document confirming registration in the Donetsk People's Republic on April 7, 2014 or in the LPR on April 27. For example, a passport with a registration stamp (the stamp must indicate the place of registration). If there is no passport with a mark, then a certificate from the passport office or a certified copy of the house register will do.
Documents confirming relationship. If your relatives will receive citizenship, you will need to confirm the relationship using a birth certificate, marriage document, or adoption certificate.
Confirmation of status in Russia. The following must be presented: a passport with a temporary residence permit stamp, a residence permit booklet, a certificate of a participant in the State Resettlement Program, a refugee certificate, a certificate of temporary asylum.
Photos. There are a lot of questions here regarding the size of the pictures. Applying for Russian citizenship for Donbass requires attaching photographs (3 pieces) measuring 3 x 4 cm on matte paper to the set of papers. The pictures are pasted in the presence of an inspector, so don’t do anything with them at home. If you are accompanied by a minor child , his photo is required - 1 piece .
State duty - 3500 rubles . Payment - through any bank; in some branches of the Ministry of Internal Affairs it is possible to pay through a terminal. Check your receipt immediately. Full name, address, all details - look at every number and letter. If they find errors in the receipt, they will turn it around and tell you to redo it. In banks, Russia is often indicated in the “Country that issued the document” field. Be sure to check this item - your country should be there.

What documents do relatives present?

Parents, spouses, and adult children who are traveling in a “trailer” prepare a separate application for themselves and collect their own set of documents .

An important point: if a relative does not have status in the Russian Federation, then he undergoes a medical examination.

There is also no clear list of papers for relatives at the moment. May require:

relative’s passport + notarized translation;
a document confirming the relationship with the applicant, according to which citizenship is issued;
migration registration;
if there is status in the Russian Federation, then the corresponding document is presented;
if there is no status, you need Medicine: a certificate from a narcologist, a conclusion about the absence of infectious diseases, a certificate about the absence of HIV;
3 photos: 3x4 cm;
a document from a relative, according to which citizenship is issued, confirming that he is registered in the DPR/LPR.

Let us note once again: the lists of documents are indicative. Each department needs to clarify which papers to collect.

Passport, extract, registration - documents at risk

However, in the lobby of the passport office there is no feeling of tension: there are not very many people, there are plenty of empty seats, no one is swearing or rushing into a fight. I approach a group of citizens at the “windows”, introduce myself, talk about the order of the Head of the LPR and ask if there are any complaints about the work of the passport officers? “TG”: Where do you get such confidence that you will pass tomorrow? - And there are lists there. One is for issuing documents, the second is for submitting them. After a month of waiting, you begin to understand how fast the line moves. I am heading in the indicated directions. I find the first list for issue on the table near the stand with sample documents. There are 22 names in it. It seems like a little, but this, apparently, will be enough for a long time.

Temporary registration for citizens of the DPR and LPR

180 days of stay for the LDPR: what's new?

About 180 days of stay for residents of Donetsk and Lugansk regions. Mini-review with approximate statistics.

In approximately 60% of regions they have heard about the resolution (>>>) ( Adygea, Rostov, Belgorod, Krasnodar

.
), but in some of them only those who moved in in 2021 are put on MU for 180 days (those who brought MU with an entry date of 2021).
From Rostov

sent an official response (source t.me/ufmsmsk), to enlarge the image, you need to click on it:

In Moscow

They put it on for 90 days, although I can’t say about all departments.
The girl wrote: “Today I went to MU, they set 90 days (Moscow).
LPR passport. They didn’t hear anything about 180 days.” Perhaps the department in the neighboring district heard about the resolution.

In St. Petersburg

there is an explanation “from the internal memo of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on migration issues (for internal use).” >>>

Registration for migration registration of citizens of Ukraine permanently residing in the territories of certain districts of Donetsk and Lugansk regions is carried out for a period of up to 180 days from the date of entry into the Russian Federation.

A document confirming permanent residence in the territories of certain districts of Donetsk and Lugansk regions is:

– passport of the DPR or LPR – foreign passport of a citizen of Ukraine with a registration mark at the place of residence in the territories controlled by the DPR or LPR – foreign passport of a citizen of Ukraine with the attachment of a document issued by the competent authorities of the DPR/LPR, confirming the fact of permanent residence in the territory of the DPR/LPR.

In the absence of the above documents, registration for migration is carried out for 90 days from the date of entry into the Russian Federation.

List of settlements (this list may change and is not exhaustive): DPR: Donetsk Debaltsevo Dokuchaevsk Gorlovka Enakievo Zhdanovka Ilovaisk Kirovskoye Makeevka Snezhnoye Torez Khartsyzsk Shakhtersk Yasnovataya Zugres Amvrosievsky district Novoazovsky district Starobeshevsky district Telmanovsky district Uglegorsk

LPR: Lugansk Alchevsk Krasny Luch (Khrustalny) Stakhanov Sverdlovsk (Dolzhansk) Anthracite Bryanka Kirovsk (Golubovka) Krasnodon (Sorokino) Pervomaisk Rovenki Severodonetsk Lisichansk Stakhanov (Kadievka) Rubezhnoe Perevalsk Molodogvardeysk Popasnaya Sukhodolsk Kremennaya Svatovo Lutugino Starobelsk Chervonnopartizansk (Voznesenovka) Zolotoye Petrovskoye (Petrovo- Krasnoselye) Happiness Vakhrushevo (Bokovo-Khrustalnoye) Gorskoye Zimogorye Irmino Novodruzhevsk Privolye Artyomovsk (Kipuche) Zorinsk Aleksandrovsk Miusinsk Almaznaya New Aidar Slavyanoserbsk

The border guards at the checkpoint with Ukraine are aware of the resolution, dividing people “according to registration,” ALTHOUGH I REMIND you that the date in the MK is a factor of little importance.

The same girl writes: “Before filling out the immigration forms, we approached the Russian checkpoint. That's what they said. Based on their response, the entire bus filled out migration cards. For some, the Ukrainian passport was written for 90 days, and for others, the LPR for 180 days. This is Izvarino.

I believe that we will know the answer in six months, because after talking with some inspectors, I understand that, again, the matter depends on the decision of the heads of departments; they have not received written explanations from the main department. The time for practical action will come at least in June (January + 180 days), then we’ll see what and how.

Features of obtaining a passport of a citizen of the DPR and LPR in 2019

The leadership of the Donetsk People's Republic explains the need to produce documents for its citizens by the actions of the Ukrainian government to replace ordinary passports with biometric ones. Due to the current situation, residents of the DPR and LPR do not have the opportunity to obtain them, and they will actually be left without documents. In addition, in the regions, many residents’ passports were lost or destroyed during military events, or must be replaced due to the expiration of their validity.

Reasons

– documents confirming civil service in the LPR; documents confirming the intention to register at the place of residence (for citizens of Ukraine who are or have been in the public service and are registered in other regions of Ukraine);

3. Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Lugansk People’s Republic dated November 8, 2021 No. 629 “On some issues related to the registration and issuance of a passport document identifying an individual residing on the territory of the Lugansk People’s Republic.”

In order to prevent the unjustified transfer of the rights and obligations of a legal entity registered on the territory of the state of Ukraine before, with a legal address within the Lugansk People's Republic to a legal entity registered in the manner established by the legislation of the Lugansk People's Republic, the Ministry of Justice of the LPR initiated amendments to the resolution of the Council Ministers of the LPR “On amendments to the Special Procedure for State Registration of Certain Types of Legal Entities and the Cancellation of State Registration on the Territory of the Lugansk People’s Republic.”

When submitting documents for registration/extract from an apartment through the Central Administrative Office, a representative of social services, the housing office, condominiums, or the manager of an apartment building, the date of registration of the place of residence/stay is the day the registration authority received the relevant documents. Thus, the time frame for obtaining registration differs from that established by law, but as a rule does not exceed 30 days.

Registration and deregistration in the LPR

Since the residential premises became the property of a citizen through privatization, he independently decides the issue of registration at the place of residence of citizens in the residential premises belonging to him. The consent of other citizens other than the owner is not required in this case.

Every day the number of citizens wishing to obtain a passport document certifying the identity of an individual living in the territory of the LPR is increasing. In Krasnodon, the department of the Migration Service of the Krasnodon Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the LPR handles the registration and issuance of passport documents, including for persons over 14 years of age.

After submitting a package of papers and filling out forms, the processing time may vary. For those who receive a passport for the first time or can present their Ukrainian passport, the processing time will be 10 days. For those who have lost a document or lost their birth certificate, the registration process will take 2-3 months due to verification and identification of the applicant.

Registration in Ukraine: documents, registration nuances and fines

These documents must be collected in order to register a child. If he is under 14 years of age, consent from both parents is required. At the time of confirmation of registration, you need to invite an official. This especially applies to situations where the child’s parents are registered at more than one address. If a child’s registration in Ukraine is carried out without the presence of one of the parents, then his consent must be certified by a notary. If you received a passport in one city, but at the time you need to change your photo, you live in another place, you will not have to return to where you received it. Pasting a photo is much easier, because such an operation does not cause any special problems. This will be done by the Ministry of Internal Affairs operating in the territory of the city in which you currently live.

How can residents of Donbass who have received Russian passports apply for SNILS, compulsory medical insurance policy and TIN in Russia?

Citizens of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics began to receive passports of the Russian Federation in May of this year, but many still do not know that they can also obtain some other documents, or they can wait to receive them if, for example, people do not plan to It’s time to move to live with a northern neighbor, find a job or study in the Russian Federation. We are talking about SNILS, compulsory medical insurance policy, Russian TIN, etc. Happy holders of Russian passports have many other questions related to their new status.

In preparing answers to the most common questions, we relied on the explanations of Russian lawyers, representatives of migration, customs and border services, as well as the experience of our fellow citizens who have already issued passports and other Russian documents.

SNILS

SNILS is a certificate of registration in the compulsory pension insurance system. It is assigned once for life; in Russia it is actually a personal identifier. Every citizen of the Russian Federation should have a SNILS, regardless of his age and place of residence. It is necessary when finding employment, enrolling in educational institutions, receiving medical care, applying for a pension or any other social benefits, as well as for registering on the Internet portal of government services of the Russian Federation, which provides a large number of state and municipal services in electronic form.

Having a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation in hand, you can apply for SNILS at any department of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. To do this, you only need to provide a copy of the first page of your passport. Based on your passport data, an employee of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation will fill out your application form electronically. There is no need to indicate your registration address. 10–15 minutes after filling out the form, you will be given a notification about registration in the individual (personalized) accounting system, which will indicate your unique number, that is, SNILS. This service is provided free of charge.

The Pension Fund offices in Pokrovsky and Matveyev Kurgan are located not far from the migration offices, about 400-500 meters away. In Pokrovsky - at Turgenevsky Lane, 26, in Matveyev Kurgan - Sadovaya Street, 4.

It is enough to simply contact this authority, having in hand a passport of a citizen of the Donetsk People's Republic or Lugansk People's Republic, or a Ukrainian passport, which will have a mark indicating permanent registration in the city of Donetsk or Lugansk or in these regions.

The procedure for registration at the place of stay on the territory of the Russian Federation for residents of the DPR and LPR

The Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR) are currently not recognized by the Russian Federation. The legal status and procedure for acquiring Russian citizenship by residents of these republics have certain features and deserve separate consideration.

Based on this, and also taking into account the relevance of this topic, we have prepared a number of articles that discuss the features of the procedure for acquiring Russian citizenship by residents of the unrecognized republics of Donbass from the moment of arrival on the territory of the Russian Federation until receiving a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.

Temporary procedure for registration at the place of residence and place of stay

In the event of loss/theft (damage) of a house (apartment) register, registration of a new house (apartment) register after its acquisition by the owner of the residential premises is carried out on the basis of an application submitted by the owner in writing to the registration authority at the location of the residential premises. On the registration of a house (apartment) register for the first time, as well as in connection with loss/theft (damage), a corresponding note is made in the registration register of house (apartment) books of any form, which is registered in the prescribed manner and stored in the registration authority at the location of the residential premises . The administrations of these institutions, free of charge, no later than 24 hours from the moment of departure of the person, provide directly or send to the ASO using information and telecommunication networks by e-mail to the official E-mail of the Migration Service Administration information about the departure of individuals from the relevant institution.

Recognition on the territory of Russia of documents issued in the DPR and LPR

However, in the conditions of the ongoing blockade of the DPR and LPR by Ukraine, as well as due to a number of other objective reasons, not all residents of these republics have the opportunity to receive passports of citizens of Ukraine within the established time frame, as well as replace their existing documents in accordance with the grounds provided for Ukrainian national legislation.

In this regard, some categories of residents of the DPR and LPR do not have valid national passports of Ukrainian citizens. Alternative documents that are issued to these categories of citizens are passports of citizens of the DPR and LPR.

Despite the fact that these republics are not recognized by the Russian Federation, documents issued by the relevant authorities (organizations) of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics are recognized as valid in the Russian Federation.

On February 18, 2021, the President of the Russian Federation signed Decree No. 74, according to which, temporarily, for the period until a political settlement of the situation in certain regions of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine, on the basis of the Minsk agreements in the Russian Federation, identity documents, education documents and ( or) on qualifications, birth certificates, marriage (divorce), change of name, death, as well as other documents issued by the relevant authorities (organizations) actually operating in the territories of these areas, to citizens of Ukraine and stateless persons permanently residing in these territories.

Thus, residents of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, who have DPR and LPR passports as identification documents, are recognized by the Russian Federation as citizens of Ukraine.

When Donbass residents apply to the migration departments of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, they are considered as citizens of Ukraine, and documents issued by the relevant authorities of the DPR and LPR are accepted by employees of these departments without reservations or restrictions.

These citizens are subject to all provisions of Russian legislation that apply to citizens of Ukraine:

entry into the territory of the Russian Federation in a manner that does not require a visa;

the possibility of obtaining a temporary residence permit in the Russian Federation within a 2-month period;

no need, when submitting an application for admission to Russian citizenship as a native speaker of the Russian language, to present a document from an authorized body of Ukraine confirming the renunciation of citizenship of this state, or a document confirming the impossibility of renouncing Ukrainian citizenship due to reasons beyond the applicant’s control, etc.

You can learn about the procedure for acquiring Russian citizenship by Ukrainian citizens from the contents of this article.

The procedure for obtaining a passport of a citizen of the DPR and LPR in 2019

When submitting papers to receive a main identity card for a citizen of the Donetsk People's Republic, you must attach a certificate of a unique taxpayer number. If it was received before May 2014, there will be no problems. When the code was assigned later, on the territory of Ukraine, the paper is not accepted. From February 2021, after the entry into force of the above-mentioned Decree No. 74, at all stages of registration of state affiliation, documents issued in the LPR and DPR are accepted as the main identification document. At the final stage, the application, completed on the approved form, should be accompanied by papers according to the list provided.
