Registration in residential premises and change of registration through the MFC in St. Petersburg is carried out most often. Despite the fact that migration services are in charge of registration issues, they have long delegated the authority to carry out the procedure to several government agencies.

The most convenient and fastest way to register is rightfully considered to be using “My Documents”. How to do this for adults and children will be discussed in the article.

The procedure for registration or discharge through the MFC

Former Soviet citizens still remember the word “propiska”. Therefore, the concepts of “registration” and “registration” are often confused with each other. The latter term was introduced not so long ago and means recording information about the chosen place of residence (in the article the definition of “registration” will be used with the designation of registration). First of all, it is necessary for the state, as well as interested parties. At the same time, government bodies do not have the right to restrict a citizen in choosing a place for registration. He is free and can live, and therefore register, anywhere if he has the legal right to square meters.

If we talk about registration, it should be noted that it exists in 2 types:

• permanent - the applicant reports that he plans to live in the same place for a long time (usually the owners of residential premises and their family members are designated in this way);
• temporary - it is necessary when leaving for a period of more than 3 months (this option is suitable for people who leave for work for a long time).

Before visiting government agencies, you need to remember that registering at a new place of residence through the MFC is not possible in all premises. Permitted include only those that have residential status. This group includes:

• private houses;
• country houses;
• apartment buildings;
• room in a communal apartment.

The procedure can also be carried out by those who have the right to a share in a cottage or apartment. But non-residential premises, despite their size and location, do not give their owners the right to register on square meters.

Carrying out registration actions through multifunctional centers has many advantages:

• flexible operating hours of representative offices;
• wide network of offices;
• consulting services;
• resolving all issues through one specialist;
• the opportunity to undergo the procedure without waiting in queues by appointment.

The registration process itself is quite simple, but before visiting the office of the multifunctional center, you need to clarify several nuances. The easiest way is to register for square meters by their owner. He, by his own right, can register family members and strangers. But it is worth considering that the size of monthly payments for utilities directly depends on the number of people registered in the living space.

If registration is issued for a person who is not related to the apartment or house, then he will not be able to do without the owner. The MFC will require his personal presence or permission for registration actions certified by a notary. All of the above points must be thought through in advance.

The algorithm of actions when contacting the MFC is as follows:

1. Make an appointment (it’s more convenient to do this by phone).
2. Collecting a complete package of documents (otherwise you will have to come to the center at least one more time).
3. Visit to the office at the agreed time (if the first item on the list is not relevant, then the visitor has the right to come to “My Documents” at any time according to the work schedule).
4. Receive a coupon, which reflects the request number and the number of people in the queue.
5. Transfer of documents and their verification.
6. Receiving a receipt from the employee.
7. Visit to the MFC at the agreed time to receive an identity card with a registration stamp.

The center employees themselves do not carry out registration - they only advise visitors and accept papers from them. Then all documents are submitted for verification by migration services and they carry out all the necessary actions.

Required package of documents for registration

A citizen of the Russian Federation can be registered in several apartments at once if they are located within the same city. If you want to register in another city, you may have to leave your main place of residence. If you are a person who is going to register at a new place of residence, then you will need the following package of documents:

• 
  Identity document (passport, original + 2 copies).

Note:

1. When submitting documents to the Federal Migration Service, the document must not be expired.
2. When submitting documents, you will have to leave your passport at the FMS office for several days.
3. Only a passport can be accepted as the main document (a foreign passport will not be considered).

• Statement of the established form.

The application of a person wishing to register at a new place of residence is written by hand, in blue ink, according to form number six. A sample application, as well as a form to fill out, must be obtained from an employee of the Federal Migration Service.

Attention! Various regional branches of the Federal Migration Service, MFC, and housing departments offer a single application form for both the apartment owner and the registered person. Also, do not be surprised if you need to fill out a number of additional applications, for example, about arrival.

• Departure sheet

A departure slip is a document indicating that you have been discharged from your previous place of residence. As mentioned earlier, it may be needed if you are registering in another city, town or region.

Attention! Such types of documents as departure, arrival or apartment cards cannot be filled out by the registered person. They must be written in the hand of the official.

How to register a child through the MFC?

Registering children in an apartment does not seem difficult, but it has its own nuances and subtleties. Visitors should also be aware of them in advance so as not to return to the multifunctional center again due to incorrectly collected papers or ignorance of the legal framework.

Parents are given a seven-day period for all manipulations after receiving a birth certificate. If they do not meet the deadline, they will pay a fine.

The easiest way is to register a newborn at the MFC at the new place of residence. It is important that the baby is registered automatically - this action does not require the consent or presence of the homeowner. He can only find out after the fact that a child is registered in his area.

An infant cannot be registered in a living space to which his parents have no connection. The mother and father of the child may not be the owners of the square meters, but must be registered on them.

The baby is registered at the address of any parent, if according to the documents they are registered in different apartments or houses. The choice of location is up to the new mom and dad.

When registering for a child’s living space, parents should know that:

• the child will not be able to change his registration without the permission of the guardianship authorities;
• A certificate will be issued as confirmation of registration.

Children under 14 years of age must also be registered with one of their official representatives - mom or dad. Registration with grandparents is allowed, as they are close relatives of the minor. All documents for the child are signed by his parents, and the registration mark is placed in a separate document.

After receiving a passport, the child can be registered on any square meter, even in another city. But until he officially reaches the age of 18, his parents will still sign documents for him. From the age of 14, marks about registration actions are already placed on the teenager’s identity card.

The only difference in registering adults and children is that to register children, the parent must also provide the child’s birth certificate.

Instructions for registering in your new purchased or someone else’s apartment

The general scheme for registering in an apartment is as follows: come to the passport office at your new place of residence (if applying for permanent registration) or stay (if you want to register temporarily); Provide documents on the basis of which you want to register in the apartment. This could be documents confirming ownership of the apartment, showing that you are the owner and want to register in it. Or it could be the consent of the apartment owners, if you want to register in someone else’s apartment; After signing the application, give your passport and pick it up with a registration stamp on the appointed day. The article says 4 options for registration - in your own apartment, in someone else’s, without the presence of the owner and via the Internet on the State Services portal (some points in the instructions are repeated).

Temporary registration through the MFC in St. Petersburg

Anyone who has left their official place of residence for a period of more than 3 months must obtain a temporary registration at their place of stay.

This rule is relevant for Russians and guests of the country planning to work in this region for a long time. If a citizen knows for sure that he is leaving for a long time, he must take an absentee ballot. At his new location, this document will allow him to complete the registration necessary to comply with the law.

In a foreign city, the only way to fulfill your obligations is to register with the owner who provides housing for rent. But the plan can be realized only with his consent. If the owner is categorically against it, then an application still needs to be submitted. In the future, this fact will allow you to avoid a fine for lack of temporary registration.

In a situation where the owner’s consent is obtained, the procedure at the MFC is carried out in the same way as in the standard mode described above.

What documents are needed for registration at the MFC?

To register without any hitches or delays, you need to worry about collecting documents in advance. For a permanent look you will need:

• identification;
• departure slip;
• certificate of the number of persons registered on these square meters;
• standard form (form No. 6).

If the registration is completed by the owner of the property, then he adds a certificate of ownership or a social contract to the above. hiring

In a situation where the applicant does not have any rights to residential premises, he needs to supplement the above list with the following papers:

• identification card of the owner (this does not replace the need for his personal presence);
• social rental agreement.

In the latter case, you will also need permission to register from everyone who lives in this apartment.

If temporary registration is planned, applicants provide:

• form (form No. 1);
• identification;
• certificate from the place of permanent residence;
• identification card and title papers of the owner of the square meters.

You can download forms for permanent and temporary registration in .doc format:

• form No. 6;
• form No. 1.

For temporary registration, foreigners are required to have documents from the same list, but in addition they are required to have their passport translated into Russian and have it certified by a notary.

In the case of temporary registration of citizens, the presence of home owners is also considered mandatory. Without this, registration actions will not be possible.

Sample application for registration

When filling out the form, the applicant must exclude errors and blots. The law does not prohibit entering data by hand; if desired, the application can be filled out on a computer.

Despite the fact that the forms for permanent and temporary registration have different forms, they contain quite a lot of identical information:

• passport details;
• information about the place of departure;
• information about the owner and title papers.

It is advisable to fill out the paperwork under the guidance of a center employee. This significantly reduces the risk of errors and speeds up the procedure.

A sample of filling out an application to the MFC can be downloaded from the appropriate links:

• for the initial registration of a baby;
• for registration of a child;
• for registration at the place of stay;

FAQ

Despite its apparent simplicity, registration actions raise a large number of questions among citizens. The most common ones are listed below with detailed answers.

How to register a citizen of another state?

You can register a citizen of Ukraine, Kazakhstan or Belarus in an apartment according to the same scheme as a Russian citizen. The main thing is that the applicant has:

• departure certificate/certificate of permanent registration in the homeland;
• translation of a passport certified by a notary.

A foreigner can obtain both permanent and temporary registration in the country.

How to check out and register at the same time?

This possibility exists. But only for permanent registration. If a citizen purchased a new apartment and moved into it, then he may not be deregistered at his old place of residence - just fill out a standard form for registration at the new address. In this case, the departure will be made automatically.

Is it possible to check out at the MFC remotely?

Multifunctional centers provide such services. But to do this, the citizen will need to issue a power of attorney through a notary office and provide the attorney with his or her identification card. In the future, the trustee will do everything for him.

Do I need to pay utility bills if I do not live at my registered address?

In this case, the utility company conducts a recalculation. It is more convenient if a citizen writes a statement in advance stating that he will not live on the square meters for a certain period of time. The service company will remove part of the payments from him (for example, for garbage removal), and the absence of meter data will allow him not to pay for water and gas. However, the premises will be heated in winter, this payment must be made.

Is it possible to register at a dacha in a private house?

It is possible if the house is recognized as residential. The “dacha amnesty” allows gardeners to officially register their homes. If it was possible to transfer it to residential status, then registration of square meters is carried out according to standard rules.

How to register a citizen in an apartment with shared ownership?

If there is a share, the owner has the right to register only a child on his square meters. In other cases, the consent of all owners of the property is required.

But if part of the share is registered as a gift in favor of a person planning to register here, the opinion of other owners is no longer taken into account.
