- In accordance with the court decision, which orders the transfer of housing from one person to another (this document will be the title document).
- Having concluded a purchase and sale transaction (a corresponding agreement is drawn up).

Urgently transfer documents to another city: a notary will help
Sometimes it happens that some document is needed right here and now, but its original is in another city, and there is no time to send it by mail. Or vice versa - you urgently need to send a notarized power of attorney to another city, but the minutes count - a deal or an important family matter falls through.
In the modern world, the main value is time. Many of us either live in two cities, or have relatives who live many thousands of kilometers away, or are forced to interact with colleagues and partners from different regions due to work/business matters. With the advent of the Internet and mobile communications, life and work have become easier.
Exchange of information, communication, solving business issues online - all this has been possible for a long time. But people still experience difficulties when they need to transfer documents from one city to another. In the era of high technology, people continue to transfer documents by mail, through a train conductor, by courier services, or ask their friends about it... Each time this leads to a waste of nerves, time and money. Consent for a child to travel abroad, a power of attorney - to prepare these documents, people transfer birth certificates and passports from city to city, each time at the risk of simply losing documents, the restoration of which will take a lot of time. Courier services are also not always able to help. Firstly, it is expensive, and secondly, if we are talking about long distances, you will still lose several days. Thirdly, there are often cases when even well-known companies are not able to ensure the safety of documents. Thus, Muscovite Konstantin P. handed over a package of documents to the Sverdlovsk region, including, among other things, a power of attorney certified by a notary for the sale of an apartment. The package arrived at its destination, but was badly damaged - the documents were flooded with water on the way. It is clear that the courier company returned the money, but the transaction did not take place, and the documents had to be restored.
Today there is no need to risk documents, money and time. In such a situation, you can completely rely on the help of a notary. When there is an urgent need to send a certified document to another city, he will convert the document into electronic form and certify that the electronic document is equivalent to a document on paper. And the document will be sent in electronic form to where it is so awaited. You can discuss in advance with the recipient which notary it will be convenient for him to receive the document. A notary in another city will transfer the document back from electronic to paper form, certify it and hand it over.
For those who run a business, this notarial act will also be useful. For example, when certifying a transaction for the alienation of shares in an LLC, a notary can issue a record sheet from the tax authorities, certifying that a paper document is equivalent to an electronic document.
An electronic document produced by a notary has the same legal force as a document on paper, the equivalence of which has been certified by a notary.
The fundamentals of the legislation of the Russian Federation on notaries provide for the following types of notarial actions that can help a document cover any distance in the shortest possible time:
— certification of the equivalence of an electronic document to a document on paper;
— certification of the equivalence of a document on paper to an electronic document.
The procedure for certifying the equivalence of electronic and paper documents means confirming the identity of the content of an electronic document produced by a notary with the content of a document presented to the notary on paper.
The production of an electronic document to certify its equivalence to a document on paper is carried out by a notary by making an electronic image of the document on paper and signing it with a qualified electronic signature of a notary.
It must be remembered that it is not allowed to certify that an electronic document is equivalent to a document on paper in relation to transactions concluded in simple written form, as well as identity documents.
Certification of the equivalence of a document on paper to an electronic document means confirmation of the identity of the content of the electronic document presented to the notary with the content of the document produced by the notary on paper. A paper document prepared by a notary has the same legal force as an electronic document, the equivalence of which has been certified by a notary. The electronic document presented to the notary must be signed with a qualified electronic signature.
Convenience, safety, speed are the main advantages of the procedure for certifying the equivalence of electronic and paper documents. In addition, this notarial act will help you save significantly. Tariffs are as follows:
- for certifying the equivalence of a document on paper to an electronic document - 50 rubles for each page of a document on paper;
- for certifying the equivalence of an electronic document to a paper document - 50 rubles for each page of a paper document.
In addition to the notary fee, there is also a fee for legal and technical work. Its size depends on the region in which the notarial act is performed.
For comparison: the cost of transmitting documents by courier service, say, from Moscow to Yekaterinburg, will range from 1,000 to 3,000 thousand rubles.
The recipient will have to wait at least a day, and on average 2-3 days. However, no one can guarantee that the documents will arrive safe and sound. But if you hand over, for example, a child’s birth certificate in order to obtain consent to travel abroad, you will have to pay twice - for the document to be delivered to the recipient, and then for the document to be sent back. written authority granted by one person to another person to complete a transaction with a third party; actions of citizens and legal entities aimed at establishing, changing or terminating civil rights and obligations. a document granting a person the right to perform a certain action by a person whose consent is required to perform a particular action other transaction in accordance with the law.

Advice 1: How to restore the privatization agreement

- Extract from the house register. This document is drawn up at the housing department and includes all family members who have ever been registered in a living space registered under a social tenancy agreement. Two photocopies and one original are attached to the package of privatization documents.
- Original and photocopy of personal account statement. You can obtain this document from the management company, which sends you receipts for payment of utility bills.
- Originals and photocopies of passports and birth certificates of all registered citizens. Photocopies must be made of the first and second pages, as well as from the page where the stamp confirming registration in the residential area is affixed.
- Photocopies and originals of the explication and floor plan of the apartment. All documents must be certified by the technical inventory bureau. If more than 5 years have passed since the registration of these documents, you will need to update the information by calling a BTI technical employee.

Why is it worth rushing to restore documents?
Fraud is not uncommon in the real estate market. Timely restoration of the certificate of ownership of the apartment will help you avoid becoming a victim of criminals who want to fraudulently take the home from the owner. Therefore, as soon as you realize that an important document has disappeared, contact the registration authority that issued the certificate as quickly as possible. Your actions are simple and clear:
- It is necessary to fill out an application indicating the reason for the loss (in case of common shared ownership, all owners will have to be present).
- You will have to wait one month (no more) until a duplicate is issued. It will differ from the original by a stamp with the wording: “In replacement of what was lost.”
- Check that the new paper is formatted correctly. For example, the day, month and year of issue of the duplicate must be indicated, as well as the reason for its issuance. In addition, officials will have to record information about the missing certificate (when it was issued, number).
Where to restore the apartment privatization certificate
If the lost certificate was issued after February 1, 1998, you must obtain an extract from the Unified State Register of Rights; it will be prepared within a week. Next, with the received extract, you also need to contact the Moscow office of the Federal Registration Service at the apartment address.
3. If the document has passed state registration in the registration service, you can receive an extract on the contents of the title document or an extract on registered rights. The certificate of state registration of rights is not a title document; if desired, it can be obtained again from the registration service.
If the purchase and sale agreement is missing
One of the documents that indisputably confirms the right of ownership of housing is the DCP. If it disappears, you can contact institutions where they will help you restore the documents for the apartment. The ways to resolve the issue will vary depending on the situation:
- Option #1. You signed the DCP officially while at the notary's appointment. He has the right to issue a duplicate based on your application (all data is stored in the office). Services will have to be paid for.
- Option #2. The transaction was formalized in writing, but without involving a notary. You must contact the registration authority. You will have to pay a fee to the state.
If you still have contact (and a good relationship) with the former home owner who participated in the transaction, then you can use a less expensive method: obtain a copy of the DCP from the seller (he is given a second copy). By the way, in some cases, this path is the only chance to restore the certificate of ownership of the apartment. In the second half of the 90s, there was a time when it was not necessary to certify such transactions with a notary, and the law on registration was not yet in effect. If your case falls into this category, and the home seller has disappeared from your sight: there are no other options to restore the DCP other than taking a copy from the former owner. But don't rush to despair. The following will be able to confirm the fact of home ownership:
- In the BTI (a certificate of the owner will be issued).
- At the tax authority (where it is known for certain who officially paid taxes and during what period the change of owners occurred).
If you need to restore other documents for the apartment
If you have lost documents confirming that the apartment is a gift or inheritance (the corresponding agreement or certificate), a notary or an employee of the registration authority will help.
The BTI will assist in restoring the technical passport (as well as the cadastral passport). But it is worth considering a nuance: after more than a five-year interval from the date of registration, a representative of the bureau will have to personally inspect the object and re-issue the documents. The owners will have additional costs associated with paying for services.
You can obtain a duplicate document from the housing policy department of the district administration if you have lost your social rental agreement.
Competent Star-Service employees will help speed up the process of obtaining documentation. We know how to restore a certificate for an apartment and other documents quickly and easily.
