What is a registration certificate for an apartment - who issues it and what it looks like

What is a technical passport for an apartment and why is it needed?

A technical passport for an apartment is a document containing the characteristics of the apartment with complete information in graphical and tabular form.

It cannot be used as a separate document, but in addition to other documents it is sometimes necessary. Therefore, it is recommended that the technical passport (hereinafter referred to as TP) be kept by the owner of the apartment and be up to date.

Cases when TP is required to be submitted:

• preparation for redevelopment or legalization of changes already made;
• transfer of a residential property to non-residential;
• determining the cost of an apartment based on an inventory assessment (for example, when applying for a mortgage loan for purchase or disputes over inherited property);
• calculation of property tax;
• resolution of legal disputes, for example, with the allocation of shares in kind;
• residential insurance;
• presenting the passport information to the buyer with real parameters for verification.

How is redevelopment of non-residential properties approved in Moscow?

Coordinating the redevelopment of non-residential properties in the capital entails additional difficulties. The redevelopment project must receive a positive technical opinion from a state or independent expert organization. This rule is specified in the Decree of the Moscow Government dated August 27, 2012 No. 432-PP, along with the list of construction works requiring approval.

Taking into account the provisions of the federal and regional regulatory framework, approval of redevelopment in Moscow will take place according to the following algorithm:

• application for the preparation or issuance of a technical passport;

• a document confirming the right of ownership (transaction agreement, certificate of inheritance, other title documents);
• extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate;
• payment document confirming payment of state duty.

Applications for obtaining a technical passport from the BTI : download form and sample

Depending on the situation, additional documents may be required, for example, a request for redevelopment from the architectural department of the administration, a notarized power of attorney if the interests of the owner are represented by another person, etc.

The application has a regulated form and in different cases it has its own:

• issuance of a passport in replacement of a BTI specialist lost without leaving – according to Form 3;
• it is required to carry out measurements by a BTI specialist in case of fixing a redevelopment, during the initial issuance of a technical passport or reconciliation of data when the document was issued earlier, but more than five years have passed, - according to Form 4;
• An extended form of document with a floor plan is required to formalize privatization - according to Form 7.

2. To obtain a technical passport, apply with documents in one of the convenient ways:

• in person at BTI;
• through the MFC;
• through organizations specializing in the preparation of such documents.

Attention! The State Services Portal does not provide an electronic service.

It should be noted that only BTI is engaged in the production and issuance of technical passports. Other organizations are only intermediaries in obtaining the document.

3. Receive the registration certificate on the appointed day at the BTI or MFC. When ordering through State Services, it will arrive electronically. If a private organization is involved, the delivery time and delivery method are determined by agreement with the customer.

Typically, the procedure takes two to three weeks. When submitting an application through the MFC, the period is increased by 2 days, which are necessary to submit documents and receive a response from the BTI. An accelerated receipt procedure is acceptable, when the TP is produced within one week, but the state duty will be higher.

The final cost of the customer’s expenses depends on the region where the apartment is located, its area, as well as the need for a BTI specialist to visit the site for measurements. As a result, the amount will be approximately 1 thousand rubles.

Technical and cadastral passport

Vimania ! Since 2021, the cadastral passport is no longer issued; it has been cancelled, because... after the merger of the two structures, it was replaced by an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate.

Is the cadastral passport valid in 2021? And even in the absence of a technical passport, you can make a real estate transaction with it.

How to obtain a cadastral passport for an apartment? No way, they are no longer ordered or restored.

Today, to sell an apartment, you will need two documents: An extract from the Unified State Register and a technical passport.

For those who still have a cadastral passport for the apartment, you can find out what the differences are:

• the purpose of a technical passport is limited only to recording real estate objects, while a cadastral passport is necessary for registering property rights.
• A technical passport is issued only for buildings; a cadastral passport is issued for any real estate property.
• they do not complement or replace each other; they are essentially different documents. Although technical is considered primary to cadastral.
• if the first is required only in a limited number of cases, then the second is required when completing transactions with an apartment.

Why did BTI lose the opportunity to approve redevelopment?

Since 2013, BTI institutions have lost most of their powers. Cadastral engineers who are now drawing up technical plans undergo a special procedure for checking and confirming their qualifications - they receive a certificate and SRO approval. Within the framework of Federal Laws No. 221-FZ and 218-FZ, BTI institutions are not listed among the bodies that have the right to draw up or approve documents for redevelopment. Since the cadastral registration system does not include BTI institutions, their functions are limited to issuing certificates or extracts from technical documentation compiled as of March 1, 2013. For these reasons, the question “how much does redevelopment cost in BTI” has lost its relevance.
