Registration and registration are the same thing or not

Differences between registration by place of residence and place of stay

Registration at the place of residence is often called “propiska”, but this is a relatively outdated term that is no longer used in many places. It is definitely not in the 2021 regulations. But “permanent registration” is common. Permanent registration is confirmed by a special mark that is placed in the passport. Thus, permanent registration at the place of residence is usually carried out in relation to real estate that is owned by a person.

Where you stay is a little different. Typically, a citizen registered here is not the owner of the property, but is in it on a temporary basis. For example, he rents a house. Moreover, you can register at your place of residence regardless of what type of permanent registration a person has at your place of residence. They run parallel and independently of each other.

Registration at the place of stay is not recorded in the passport with a special stamp, but the person who receives it is issued a certificate. Temporary registration allows you to quickly find a citizen if for some reason he does not live in his home. For example, he left to work or study in another city.

Place of residence is the place where a citizen of the Russian Federation is actually located. It may be identical to the place of registration or stay. The Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs must be notified that the place of residence has changed. A week is given for this after the move. If a citizen will live here for more than 90 days, then registration should be completed. You can register at your place of stay or residence in 3-8 days. The exact timing will depend on how the documents were submitted.

Key differences between registration and registration

Perpetual nature. Registration, as well as registration, are valid as long as the property where you are registered exists.
Mandatory for every citizen of the country. You won’t be able to simply check out of your apartment; you will need consent to register somewhere else.
Confirms property rights. Registration gives a person the right to dispose of real estate. If you have registered a person with you, you can only evict him through the court.
Requires the consent of the homeowners. Registration of a person is possible only with the consent of all citizens living in the apartment. An exception is the acquisition of a share in an apartment. A person has the right to live on the territory that belongs to him. In addition, minor children can be registered without consent. The Constitution directly stipulates that children live with their parents.
Imposes certain responsibilities. The registered person is obliged to monitor the technical condition of the apartment and pay utilities on time. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in eviction.
Provides social benefits. Without permanent registration, you will not be able to get a job, educate your children, or rely on medical care.

Temporary registration indicates the actual presence of a person in the country. In this case, no marks are placed in the passport; the person is issued an additional certificate certified by the seal of the Federal Migration Service. Temporary registration does not exclude the presence of permanent registration.

Consent of other residents for registration at the place of residence

How easy it is to obtain registration in an apartment at your place of residence depends on whether it is your apartment or not. If a person cannot even claim a share in an apartment, he will be able to register in it only after permission has been received from all owners. Moreover, consent must be formalized. The owner and other people registered in the apartment must personally attend the reception at the registration authorities, or give someone else a notarized consent to the procedure in question.

Sometimes a citizen rents housing in a state or municipal fund and has a child. In this case, a rental agreement, social lease, use (free of charge) is concluded. If this is your case, there is no need to take permission from other employers. It’s another matter if the name of the employer does not appear in the contract. Then registration will be possible only in a number of cases:

registration of the employer's child is required (provided that the child is under 14 years of age);
another member of the tenant’s family must be registered, and there are no objections from other parties to the rental agreement and the landlord.

It is important that during registration, the consent of the landlord and his family members is expressed in personal presence. This applies even to a child who is 14 years old. Sometimes it may be necessary to draw up an additional agreement to the rental agreement if a child under 14 years of age is registered.

Registrations in different types of housing

The status of the living space dictates some features when going through the registration procedure. They apply to both permanent and temporary registration.

In a municipal apartment

This type of housing involves renting an apartment from municipal authorities or the state. Registration is carried out at the request of the employer. The basis for moving in is a rental/social lease agreement.

After his own permanent registration, the employer can register his family members. You can register a relative only with the permission of all people registered in the apartment and the owner.

To carry out the procedure you will need:

write an application for the right to use state property and have it certified by a notary;
submit an application to the management company;
Having received approval, go to the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with an application for registration and a package of documents.

Registration (of any kind) into a municipal apartment by strangers requires permission from the landlord. At the same time, you must obtain written consent from all residents of the apartment. Subsequently, it is necessary to make an adjustment to the contract indicating the period of occupancy.

In your own home

The procedure is standard and free. The owner can dispose of his property at his own discretion. Including the ability to register any number of people in the living space. Can be rented out with temporary registration. Or be allowed to live permanently.

If there are several owners, registration is carried out with the consent of all owners.

From 2021, it is allowed to obtain registration even at dachas if the owners have chosen it for permanent residence.

Staging is permissible if the dacha is located:

in the city;
on lands for individual housing construction.

In a communal apartment

A communal apartment can be municipal or consist of already privatized premises. If the room is owned by the tenant, he has the right to register other people (temporarily or permanently) according to the standard procedure.

When checking into a municipal fund room you will have to receive:

consent of all residents;
permission from the municipality if the future tenant is not a relative.

Local authorities may refuse registration if the number of people exceeds the norm established by the housing registration standard per person.

In dorm

Most hostels are owned by the city.

In this type of housing, temporary registration is carried out mainly:

students;
employees of the enterprise.

In rare cases, permanent registration is allowed if there is consent from the municipality and a lease agreement has been drawn up.

In a mortgaged apartment

In housing purchased with a mortgage, permanent registration is issued. The process proceeds as usual.

The future owner can register (temporarily or permanently) other persons. To do this, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the creditor bank. If Finnish the institution will see risks for itself in the registration, and a refusal will follow.

Registration of children in a mortgaged apartment has subtleties:

the appearance of a child after purchasing a home obliges the parties to include the minor in the mortgage agreement as an applicant for the right of registration;
registration of any person in an apartment (even a child) requires approval from the lender.

Documents for registration at the place of residence

To obtain a permanent type of registration in an apartment or house where you have the right of residence, you will need to collect documents for registration. First of all, you must have a passport to prove your identity. Next, you need to collect papers that can be considered the basis for obtaining registration.

For example, if the applicant has an apartment, he only needs to present a certificate of ownership of the property. He will be able to obtain a permanent registration. If you are renting a home, a tenancy agreement for the right of temporary registration is sufficient. Sometimes a court decision can be used, which confirms the person's right to use the housing in question.

Also, if one of the registered persons is a citizen over whom guardianship or guardianship has been established, an act from the guardianship authority is needed stating that the guardian has been officially appointed. You will definitely need an application, which is drawn up according to Form No. 6. You can fill out this form in person when you get an appointment, or by using the State Services portal. Then the form will be filled out online.

The format for registering a minor who is not yet 14 years old is slightly different. The child's legal representative (his parent or guardian) must collect a slightly different list of documents. Including the following papers:

Instead of a passport, you will need to prepare a birth certificate;
parents/guardians must confirm their identity with a passport (other identical document);

If guardianship has been established over the child, you will have to present a certificate from the guardianship authorities. Also, some documents must be collected by the owners of the property (if the applicant himself is not the owner of the property and his name is not in the rental agreement). They must also provide proof of identity and ownership of the property.

Where to apply for registration

Place of residence and registration must be registered. Once you have collected your documents, you should submit them to the correct address. You can do this in several ways, choosing the one that is most convenient in your case:

using the State Services portal;
through, selecting the area where the house or apartment is located;
by contacting the management company, having first made sure that the range of its services includes the tasks of the passport office;
residents of Moscow, more precisely Troitsky and Novomoskovsky admin. districts can register to submit documents to the MFC through the mos.ru portal.

Usually, the virtual option of submitting residence documents is more preferable, since then you will only have to take time off from your affairs once - to pick up the documents. Another thing is personal presentation. First you go to submit documents, then to pick them up. If you are not the owner, you will have to submit documents not only yourself, but also taking with you all the owners of the property.

Online submission is more convenient in this sense because it takes less time. The application will be processed within three days after submission. Then the applicant will be invited to put a stamp stating that you have a residence permit in the house. If the registration is temporary, you need to invite not only the applicant, but also people who are ready to temporarily share with him a living space that their new neighbor has nothing to do with (does not own it).

When visiting in person, you need to take all the documents listed above. In particular, a passport, certificate of ownership and other documents confirming claims for housing. An additional lease agreement may also be required for state or municipal property, even if we are talking about temporary registration.

In addition, it is important to draft the application correctly. You can fill it out according to the following example.

What is the difference between registration and temporary registration?

Temporary registration is a formalized certificate (Form No. 3) issued to a person at the place of temporary stay for a period of up to 5 years (specific dates depend on the agreement between the citizen and the homeowner). After the expiration of the period specified in the document, it is necessary to extend its validity. The rights acquired upon receipt of the certificate are valid for the specified time. Some social benefits and benefits are not available.
Registration is a stamp in the passport indicating the citizen’s actual place of residence (specific address). This public service is issued with an unlimited validity period and provides the citizen with all possible rights, benefits and privileges.

The holder of a passport with a stamp is given the right to participate in privatization and full use of residential premises;
To register, you must obtain written consent (in the form of an application) from the owner of the residential premises;
Subsequent registration of children is carried out automatically (regardless of the wishes of the owner);
As the number of residents increases, the cost of some housing and communal services increases proportionally.

Register for a child

The permanent registration of children under 14 years of age corresponds to the place of registration of their parents or guardians. This is also true for incapacitated citizens. To register children and incapacitated citizens, the consent of the homeowners is not required, provided that the child’s guardians are already registered there. This eliminates the need for homeowners to visit a government agency when submitting an application.

Moreover, it is not necessary that both parents have the right of residence. But when the second parent is registered at a different address, his consent is required for the operation. When registering a child, you should not put a mark in his personal documents; in return you will receive a certificate. But for children over 14 years of age, the procedure is identical to registration for adults.

Registration of minors

Registration of children varies depending on age. Children under 14 years of age are required to live with their legal representatives. The younger generation from 14 to 18 years old is allowed to register separately with the permission of their parents.

The owner's consent is not required. The right is limited by the condition that the child is under 14 years of age.

You can register your child either permanently or temporarily. The state protects children equally, regardless of the type of registration.

But there is a difference when deregistering minors:

At constant. Parents themselves turn to government agencies for services when they need to move or sell their home.
When temporary. The registration period coincides with the period of registration of the parents, and the right to use the premises is automatically terminated. Or checkout is possible earlier if the lease agreement is terminated early.

The registration of a child can occur without the permission of the owner, and the registration of a minor is prohibited without the consent of the legal representatives.

Apply for registration for a student and military personnel?

Temporary registration of citizens of the Russian Federation may be required for military personnel and students. Military personnel can be registered not only at their place of stay, but also at their place of registration. True, everyone is registered at their place of residence on a general basis, except for sailors, sergeants, conscripts and soldiers. Registration at the place of stay can be obtained by military personnel who have a vacation ticket or travel certificate. But only on condition that the business trip lasts more than 90 days. Contract servicemen, officers and conscripts can be registered on the territory of a military unit. Their family members can receive the same registration.

Full-time students of universities and vocational schools who live in a dormitory during their studies must register here. In order for temporary registration to be carried out correctly, you need to contact the official authorized to accept such applications. You must register within three days of receiving a place in the hostel.

What is registration and how does it differ from registration?

A citizen who is away from his place of residence for more than 90 days must obtain temporary registration at the nearest department of the Federal Migration Service (FMS). It is also important to obtain the consent of all owners for registration. This certificate is issued in person and will be needed by people temporarily living in rented housing, in a hotel, campsite, hospital, sanatorium or nursing home. Upon expiration of the period specified in the application, it will end automatically. The maximum period of temporary registration is 5 years.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the registration system has changed and become simpler, but in order to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by the state, a person needs to notify the state of his whereabouts. If you are staying at a specific address for more than 90 days, you must register. It is divided into two types:

How to get permanent registration if you have no housing

In the Russian Federation, not all citizens have permanent registration, but many need it. According to the norms prescribed in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, all citizens have the right to housing. This obliges the state to help people who do not have housing and cannot earn it themselves. Of course, no one will buy apartments for everyone. Typically, such programs are intended for citizens who are left homeless. For example, after a dilapidated house is resettled or if we are talking about a large and low-income family.

Sometimes you can take out a mortgage, pay maternity capital as a down payment on an apartment, apply for a subsidy, etc. You don't have to buy a whole apartment. You can also get a permanent registration if you only bought a room in an apartment or an inexpensive house in the village. Therefore, it is much safer for a citizen to take care of his own home, where he can obtain the right to reside. Temporary registration, of course, can help out in some situations, but it is associated with some risks. Although having temporary registration allows you to use all basic government services.
