Through MFC
“My Documents” are favorites among those who are contacted to deregister. Although it will not be possible to receive the service in the shortest possible time, since the MFC is in contact with departments and is an intermediary.
To reduce the period of time spent on deregistration, it is worth making an appointment in advance at the center branch in your area of residence. This can be done through an operator, by calling the hotline, or by contacting employees directly. Contacts are freely available on the official website of the MFC.
Within 3 working days, after submitting the required package of documents, the application is reviewed, and the entire procedure can take up to 8 days. There is no exact deadline; it all depends on how quickly the departments react.
If deregistration occurs from another region or subject of the Russian Federation, then the period for deregistration can last up to 3 months.
Directly through the passport office
Another option for deregistration is the passport office. By contacting specialists yourself, the time frame will be minimized.

The timing is affected by the design option, you can choose it:
- Deregistration without further registration. This procedure takes from 3 to 7 days. It is worth remembering that in the future you will have to spend additional time on a new registration.
- Extract and registration in one moment. Up to 14 days. In rare cases, it may be slightly increased. This is due to the fact that government employees need to send a request to a neighboring department. Sometimes it can be located at an impressive distance.
Through a representative
Most often, citizens independently contact the migration service to deregister. There are times when it is not possible to visit the department in person (business trip, rotational work) and you have to use the services of an intermediary.
The representative acts on the basis of a notarized power of attorney. Everything is according to the law.
If the intermediary contacts the MFC, the processing time for the application will be 3 days, and check-out from the apartment will take 14 days. Before resorting to this method, it is worth clarifying whether the registration authority operates under a power of attorney.

How long does it take to check out of an apartment?
In paragraph 2 of Art. 292 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation clearly states that when the owner of the living space changes, the registration in the sold apartment of everyone who is registered there must be canceled.
This applies to both children and those who did not actually live here, but were registered. The former owner of the sold apartment is obliged to completely vacate it both from his presence and from all his belongings.
The deregistration procedure seems complicated to many people and frightens them with bureaucratic delays, but in fact it is not at all labor-intensive and can be done in different ways:
- application to the passport office at the place of registration – processing time is 3-6 days, in some cases it can be extended to 14 days;
- extract through the State Services website on the Internet – review period is 3 days;
- extract through the Multifunctional Center (MFC) – review period is 3 days;
- discharge through a court decision, in the event that a person registered in an apartment, but not living there, needs to be discharged without his knowledge - the consideration period is 1-2 months.
Through the State Services website
If there are no debts to pay for utilities, the easiest way to deregister is through the State Services website.
IMPORTANT! To use the portal's capabilities, you must be authorized there. Since the presence of a house register is required when deregistrating, it will not be possible to check out of an apartment building through the portal if there is no extract from it
If a person is authorized on the site and has all the necessary documents, including an extract from the house register, then, following the step-by-step instructions, he can carry out the entire procedure without leaving home.
When entering personal data, the system itself generates an application. If all the data is correct, the citizen will receive a notification about when and where to come with the passport to receive documentary evidence of the discharge.
IMPORTANT! All this is done for free on the portal.
Through the passport office or MFC
If the person being discharged wants to go to the passport office, he must provide:
- a document proving his identity;
- a document confirming his ownership of the apartment;
- application requesting termination of registration;
- a certificate from the house register or house register (in case of sale of a private house);
- departure address sheet.
The passport office may also ask for receipts for utility bills.
At the MFC, the application is reviewed by representatives of the Migration Service. When applying in person, you need the same documents as at the passport office, and when applying remotely, you also need a notarized power of attorney for the person who will represent the person signing out. The extract itself is free, but you will need to pay for notary services.
Based on Art. 314 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the former owner and everyone registered in the sold apartment must check out after the sale within a “reasonable” time. That is, the exact period is not legally defined.
Practice shows that the most convenient period is two weeks, during which all registered persons can be safely discharged from their former apartment. However, this period should not last more than a month, otherwise the new owners may make claims, even going to court.
Discharge of a minor
The period for deregistration from an apartment for a citizen whose age has not reached 18 years depends on the ownership of the premises (municipal or private). An important factor is whether the child who has undergone the deregistration process has ownership rights to the property.
To discharge a minor child, parents or legal representatives will need permission from the relevant authorities (guardianship and guardianship). The state gives time to consider the application - 14 days.
Having received consent, the parent must contact the Migration Department for a document reflecting the fact of leaving the residential premises. The deregistration process will take 3 days and the same amount of time will be required for registration in the new apartment.

The period will be reduced by 14 days if the apartment has privatized status and the child does not have ownership rights to it. In this case, there is no need to contact state guardianship authorities.
Ways to leave the apartment
When completing a real estate purchase or sale transaction or moving to another city, a person must check out of the living space he occupies. There are different options for how you can issue an extract.
Discharge by registration to a new place of residence or stay
When moving, every person wonders how to check out of the old apartment and get a new registration, how long it will take.
If you know the exact address of your future home, you just need to register at the new address, and the old registration will be automatically canceled at this time. Citizens registered with the military and moving to another district or city are also required to inform the military registration and enlistment office about a change in their actual place of residence.
Check out to nowhere
In practice, there are often cases when a person is discharged from an old apartment, which he has occupied for several years, but does not receive a new registration anywhere. Such actions of a citizen are completely legal.
To check out to nowhere, you need:
- prepare a corresponding statement in which a dash should be placed in the line “indicate the new address”;
- Regardless of where you apply, you must submit original documents, including your passport. It will contain appropriate notes about the change of living space;
- Then you will be given a time when you can receive your documents back. In addition to your passport, you will be given a sheet with the date of discharge. This departure sheet is required for subsequent registration.

Events happen in the lives of each of us, after which we are not able to visit certain places on our own (illness, injury, busy caring for a child, busy work schedule, lack of free time, etc.). If you need to leave the apartment you occupy, but you are not able to travel to government offices yourself, you can issue a power of attorney for your loved one. Using such a notarized document, a person will be able to perform various actions - stand in line at the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (formerly FMS), draw up your extract from the apartment without your personal presence and at any time while the power of attorney is valid.
Through the Internet
A modern citizen of the Russian Federation can check out of the living space he occupies without visiting the migration service department.
Using a smartphone, you can submit an application to change your registration for free through the Public Services Portal. By submitting an application for discharge online, you choose the time and date when you arrive with the original documents. Submitting documents takes minimal time.
Duration of automatic discharge for temporary registration
Deregistration, if you have a temporary residence permit, is only relevant if it is necessary to extend the period of residence. In other cases, the deregistration occurs automatically after the expiration of the period specified in the certificate.
The date of discharge will be considered the day on which registration at the new place of residence was made. In practice this will take 14 days.
If you change the region, the period may be extended. It will depend on the amount of time spent sending the package of documents. For a citizen this will not be an obvious problem. By the end of the temporary registration period, there will already be a stamp in the passport indicating deregistration.
You can check out of the apartment through the MFC or passport office, as well as on the State Services portal. How long the procedure will take will depend on the method chosen. The average period is about a week. However, under certain circumstances, the process may take up to 3-4 months.
