Definition of the concept
When performing a number of legally important actions with real estate that is located in apartment buildings and for which house registers are not kept, the authorized bodies will require an extract containing data about each person registered in the corresponding residential premises. What is this “apartment card”?
As mentioned above, the registration authorities for recording the residence of individuals in apartments have assigned Form 10, which is called the apartment card. It applies to a real estate object, regardless of the type of entity that owns it (private person, legal entity, etc.).
The presented official paper is a form that has legal force and contains complete information about people who are registered (both registered and registered at the place of long-term stay) legally in a specific apartment.
Important! Form 10 contains information not only about people living in a certain property at the moment, but also about those who were registered or registered temporarily in the corresponding housing earlier.
Purpose
The main purpose of a family composition certificate is to record and provide complete information about the people living (residing) or staying (staying) in the apartment. A registration card is issued for all separate premises intended for housing in apartment buildings. As a rule, completed forms are kept by the registration authorities.
What is the difference between forms 9 and 16?
- Cards No. 9 and 16 differ in content and purpose. If Form 16 is provided at the request of a registered citizen, then information from another certificate may be available only to FMS employees and other authorized bodies.
- Card No. 16, in contrast to certificate No. 9, contains more complete information about the registered person, namely his place of work and position. Certificate 16 form is often requested to apply for benefits, carry out legal actions with housing, and receive government services.
Passport office employees do not have the right to refuse to issue a registration card to a person. There are cases when citizens' appeals were ignored due to their failure to pay utility bills. Such actions are illegal.

The legislative framework
The obligation for citizens to register their permanent place of residence, as well as long-term stays other than their place of registration (more than 90 calendar days) is established by Government Decree No. 713 (effective as amended on October 26, 2011).
The activities of state bodies in carrying out the above registration functions are regulated by Government Decree No. 373 (current edition dated 08/19/2011).
The form of the registration card, as well as the rules for entering data into it, are established by Order of the Federal Migration Service of Russia No. 288.
General points
The Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation has developed and approved an official document that records all persons staying or living in an apartment, regardless of the degree of relationship or other factors.
This paper is maintained by government agencies responsible for the maintenance of apartment buildings.
What it is
Apartment card is an official document containing comprehensive information about each citizen registered in residential real estate. In addition to those currently residing, it also includes information about previously residing and departing persons. At the same time, the reason for leaving housing is clearly indicated. Minor children are entered on this card every time their place of residence changes.
In this case, the child must be registered at the residence address of his legal representative (mother, father, or legal guardian).
The apartment map serves as the basis for entering data into the arrival sheet at the new place of residence, which must be filled out at the address office.
If you have any questions, you can consult for free via chat with a lawyer at the bottom of the screen or call by phone (consultation is free), we work around the clock.
As a result of maintaining apartment maps, government agencies have a real opportunity to control the arrival, departure and registration of all citizens in residential real estate throughout the Russian Federation.
The standard type of apartment map is approved at the legislative level and requires the completion of all columns. This document must be drawn up at the time of registration of persons in apartments in residential buildings of any form of ownership - state, municipal or private.
The card is in the custody of officials responsible for the registration process.
In practice, apartment cards are mainly kept by management organizations of apartment buildings. The document confirms a certain number of registered citizens in housing and may be requested in the process of carrying out various transactions with real estate.
In order to obtain a card for an apartment, you must contact the management organization or the HOA.
The paper is issued only if you have a passport and a title document for the living space.
What is its purpose
An apartment card is an important document when conducting real estate transactions.
Because it is the official confirmation of how many people are actually registered in the apartment.
If you have any questions, you can consult for free via chat with a lawyer at the bottom of the screen or call by phone (consultation is free), we work around the clock.
It can also be used to track the entire history of housing with persons registered and those who left it for the entire period, starting with the commissioning of the house and the acquisition of the apartment by the first owner.
Receiving Form 10
When performing certain legally significant actions, individuals may be required to provide an extract from their registration card. Such cases include:
- privatization of housing;
- some banking transactions carried out in relation to the home.

A certificate in Form 10 from the passport office provides information directly about the apartment, about the entity that owns it, as well as about persons registered or staying legally for a long time.
A certificate issued in accordance with Form 17 is also valid. It, unlike the form indicated above, contains information about all registered persons entered by an authorized official in chronological order.

The information that was in the document before is not deleted anywhere and is retained throughout the entire life of the residential property. In addition, it must be taken into account that all territorial offices of the Federal Migration Service cooperate with each other. It is not necessary to go in person to deregister; this is done by FMS employees while simultaneously registering at a new address. In addition, today the population has the opportunity to use the official network portals of Rosreestr and the government services website, where they can order and receive not only extracts, but also other papers by registering and confirming their personal account. However, you will have to pay a state fee for their services, while management companies and the Federal Migration Service issue documents free of charge.
A significant difference in obtaining information is that only home owners and registered residents can contact the Criminal Code and the Federal Migration Service, and anyone has the right to request data remotely if what they are interested in does not relate to restricted access data.
