Temporary registration at the place of stay through State Services, the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Russian Post

Basic provisions

Temporary registration can only be issued with the consent of the property owner. If several adults are registered in the living space, you will need to obtain the written consent of each of them. This procedure is regulated by Article 80 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation.

If registration of a citizen at the place of actual temporary residence is done in a housing stock, then the legal entity that owns this fund must give its consent to registration. When registering at the place of residence in a housing cooperative, the management of the cooperative must give their consent to this. This permission is not required if the owner of the property is a member of the board of directors.

The maximum period of temporary registration cannot exceed 6 months. After this period has expired, the temporary registration procedure must be completed again.

Registration of a child at the place of actual stay can be issued for a period of up to 5 years. If the child is under 18 years of age, the procedure takes place without his consent.

Temporary registration at the place of residence is a certificate that records the last name, first name, patronymic and personal data of the applicant, as well as the address of temporary registration. This document has legal force only when presented together with a passport of a Russian or foreign state.

The procedure for passing temporary registration is mandatory for all foreign citizens, regardless of the reason for which they are on the territory of Russia. That is, all foreigners must register, both those who arrived on the basis of a visa-free agreement between countries, and those who received a visa to Russia to travel.

The visa-free regime requires a stay of no more than 90 days out of every 180 days a year. Visas are issued for different periods, the maximum of which is 2 years.

Step-by-step instructions for completing temporary registration

When everything is clear with the documents, you need to proceed directly to drawing up the application itself. First you need to go to the official website using the link: https://www.gosuslugi.ru. Next, you need to log into your personal account by clicking on the “Login” button.

After the transition, a login window opens where you need to enter your mobile phone number and account password. Once completed, click on the “Login” button.

After logging in, the user is redirected to the main page of the site. Here he clicks the “Services” button, after which the full list of options available to the user becomes available.

In the list of options we find the section “passports and registration”, in which you should click on “Registration of citizens”.

A new window opens, where all available operations for registration are presented, including the service of obtaining temporary registration at the location. To continue creating documents, you should select the second line, namely “Registration at the place of residence.”

Next, to apply for a service via the Internet, you need to indicate the provision of an electronic service and click on the “fill out application” button.

After this, the client proceeds to filling out the form itself, and at the first stage you need to indicate the age range. If the client is already 18, then you need to select the first line and move on to the next stage.

Next, we fill out a personal questionnaire, which requires information such as the applicant’s full name, date of birth and gender, as well as contact information.

After filling in personal data, the system requires passport data. The reliability of the information is very important, so it is better to fill it out not from memory, but directly from your passport.

At the fourth stage, we indicate the presence of permanent registration, and if available, enter the address according to the passport.

Next, you need to indicate your current place of residence, for which the temporary registration will be compiled.

At the sixth stage, the most important part is indicated - this is information about the housing itself. Here you need to indicate whose housing it is. We write the personal information of the apartment owner, as well as his contact and passport information in the forms provided.

We indicate the basis for filing the application. Most often this is a regular registration from the property owner. Here we also put the number of property owners.

In the eighth column we write that we have never been a citizen of another country and do not currently have another citizenship. It is much easier for Russian citizens to obtain a temporary residence permit than for foreign citizens.

Then there’s just a little bit left to do; we write down the additional details of the registered person, as well as available information at the place of work.

When additional information has been entered, the final step remains:

• Indicate whether anyone from the client’s family already lives at the specified temporary registration address;
• Indicate the department where completed documents will be collected;
• Give consent to the processing of personal data;
• When finished, click on the “Submit” button.

At this point, filling out the application is completed and it is sent for consideration. The processing time for documents does not exceed three days, after which you receive either a telephone or email notification that you need to appear at the specified department. The delivery of ready-made documents is already taking place directly there.

Why is temporary registration needed?

Let us remind you that not only foreigners, but also citizens of the Russian Federation who have temporarily changed their place of residence are required to do temporary registration. This procedure is necessary not only for reporting the current location of a person to the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also for such purposes as:

• Employment,
• Enrolling a child in school or kindergarten,
• Receiving medical care,
• Receiving social assistance from the state,
• Opening loans in Russia,
• Registration of various kinds of documents, including international passport, pension certificate, documents for registration of maternity capital and others.

Violation of the law and fines

If a foreign citizen or a citizen of the Russian Federation deliberately did not formalize temporary registration for himself and his child, this is considered a serious violation. The procedure itself is free, so it is quite difficult to argue for your reluctance to register. For such a violation, a fine of 1,500 to 2,000 rubles is imposed. There is no criminal liability for such an offense.

A separate fine is imposed on the owner of housing in which unregistered citizens live. The size of the fine, if this fact is discovered, will reach up to 25,000 rubles, which will seriously hit your pocket. Therefore, homeowners are seriously interested in ensuring that temporarily staying citizens are registered accordingly.

There is also a penalty for expired or missing registration of foreign citizens. According to Part 4 of Art. 18.9 of the Administrative Code, you will be fined in the amount of 2,000 rubles to 4,000 rubles.

What documents are needed for temporary registration via the Internet? How are they served?

Documents for temporary registration via the Internet
To apply for temporary registration on the State Services portal, you need the following documents:

• application (submitted as an electronic document)
• a copy of the document serving as the basis for registration of temporary registration (submitted electronically, but when applying for a ready-made registration certificate, you will need to take a paper copy certified by a notary to the FMS)
• arrival address sheet (there is an interactive form on the portal that must be filled out)
• arrival statistics sheet (the same interactive form, but it needs to be filled out only if temporary registration is issued for 9 months or more)
• consent of the owner of the property in which registration will be carried out (it is best to send an electronic scan of the written consent with the signature of the owner)

Since FMS employees do not have the opportunity to accurately verify the authenticity of this consent, all responsibility falls on the applicant. If in the future it turns out that the data is unreliable, he will be held accountable.

Registration deadlines

Foreign citizens are required to complete the registration procedure within 7 days from the date of crossing the state border. If a foreign citizen has not received registration at the place of stay in the first week of his stay in Russia, he will be subject to a fine in the amount of 2,000 to 5,000 rubles. Instead of a fine, he can also be deported from the territory of the Russian Federation and banned from entering it for up to 5 years.

The measure of punishment remains at the discretion of the employees of the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs; the imposition of a fine is most often applied. Provided that this person has not previously committed any offenses under migration legislation.

Registration through the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

The procedure for registering at the place of residence differs depending on the citizenship of the applicant. If the person who intends to register is a citizen of the Russian Federation, then from the very beginning he should hand over the application to the owner of the residential premises. After this, the property owner fills out a registration certificate in Form No. 9.

Temporary registration is possible at the local branch of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. To complete the registration procedure, the property owner and the new tenant visit the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and provide the following set of documents:

1. Application in form No. 1. The form must be signed by both the owner and the new tenant.
2. Owner's passports.
3. New tenant's passport.
4. Certificates and documents confirming ownership of real estate.
5. Lease agreement (if we are talking about renting housing for money).

After submitting documents to the local unit of the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, within 3 days, the person registered is given a certificate of temporary registration.

Registration of a foreign citizen follows the same principles. There is only a slight difference in the package of documents. It is necessary to provide those papers that confirm the legality and purpose of the foreigner’s presence on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Helpful advice!

Before submitting an application for temporary registration, you must log in to the State Services portal. If a person has not previously registered on it, then you need to go through a free registration procedure

Price

In the past, the state fee was charged to all people registering. This procedure was in effect from 1991 to 2005. In recent years, there have been changes in legislation, although the amendments affected mainly only residents of Russia.

According to the new laws, there is no state duty for temporary registration for citizens of the Russian Federation.

State duty is paid only by foreign citizens. Its size is 350 rubles. If documents are submitted through Russian Post, its services are additionally paid in the amount of 200 rubles.

Extension of temporary registration

After the temporary registration expires, it can be extended. In municipal housing, it can be extended to 6 months. If the applicant is the owner of the apartment where he is temporarily registered, then registration can be extended for up to 5 years.

The exception is students of universities in Moscow and all other cities of Russia. Registration in dormitories is immediately made for a period of 5 years with the right to further extend it for a similar period of time.

The renewal of registration is not carried out by the foreign citizen himself, but by the owner of the apartment or any other residential premises where the foreigner is temporarily registered. He needs to visit the branch of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and provide documents confirming ownership of the apartment, as well as the passport of the foreign resident living in it.

The procedure for obtaining temporary registration through the State Services portal

Temporary registration through the State Services portal
After the applicant sends an application and other documents electronically, a FMS employee gets acquainted with them and conducts a check.

This check has 3 purposes:

1. determine whether the applicant has missed any of the documents
2. ensure the truthfulness of the information contained in the application and documents
3. make sure that the specified residential premises are suitable for the applicant’s temporary residence

The inspection time is 3 working days. After this, the FMS employee must send a notification to the applicant.

The notice states that the applicant can contact the regional branch of the FMS within 3 days. As a rule, the text of the notification indicates office hours, the name of the originator, and a business telephone number.

By calling this number you can find out answers to your questions and arrange a time for your visit. The notice can be read on the State Services portal. After receiving it, you need to take the following documents to the FMS:

• applicant's identity card
• a notarized copy of the basis for temporary registration

If the documents are in order, then a certificate of temporary registration is issued to the applicant no later than 40 minutes from the moment the documents are verified. This is specified in paragraph 72 of the Administrative Regulations.

Attention

FMS employees must send the owner of the property in which temporary registration has been carried out a notification of the fact of its completion. They are required to do this within 3 days from the date of issue of the certificate.
