Have you decided to track down your former neighbors? It is quite real. If you know the exact name, date and place of birth of at least one of the wanted family members and the city where these people now live, you can quickly find their coordinates through the FMS. If you do not have such data, the search process will become more complicated and, quite possibly, will drag out. But you do not despair. According to one old song, he who seeks will always find.
Instruction manual
1
Send a request to the department of address and reference work of the FMS of Russia at the alleged place of residence of your former neighbors. The easiest and quickest way to do this is through your personal account on the Unified portal of state and municipal services of the Russian Federation http://www.gosuslugi.ru (the address of the new version of the portal called "Electronic Government": http://epgu.gosuslugi.ru). If you don’t have your account on the public services portal yet, go through the registration process.
2
Log in to your personal account on the public services portal. Click on the "Electronic Services" button. In the list of departments that appears, select the FMS, and in the list of available services of the department - "Obtaining address-reference information."
3
Pay attention to one important nuance: on the page that you will get as a result of the above steps, the system will ask you to select "Your location". But in fact, for the correct formation of the request, you will need to indicate the region in which, according to your information, the people you are looking for live. This discrepancy of form and content is a sad flaw in the programmers of the portal.

Fill out the email request form. You can specify any reason for the search. For example, "Receiving an inheritance" - no one will check it. Another thing is important:
- You can send an electronic form only if you fill out all the fields, including the full name and exact date and place of birth of the person, and people don’t always give such information to their neighbors. If you don’t know any one or two points (middle name and / or place of birth, for example), you can send your request to the FMS authority of the desired region by regular mail or e-mail. Look for contact information on the website of the FMS of Russia http://www.fms.gov.ru/about/apparatus (you can use the interactive map);
- information about the person’s address will be provided to you only if he gives his consent to the FMS. If a person does not want to communicate with you (your data, which you indicate in the application, will be informed to him), the FMS employees will only inform you that "Such-and-such Takytovich" really lives in this city - and that’s it;
- the FMS authorities only know official information about the place of registration (registration), and people do not always really live at their official addresses;
- if the person to whom you sent the request officially moved to another region, the FMS authorities will inform you where. You will need to redirect your request to this region yourself.
5
Look for your former neighbors through social networks on the Internet if formal requests are impossible or have not yielded results. Of course, not all of humanity is registered in social networks, and even those who are not always use their real names in normal transcription. But you can search not only by name. If you know the city of residence of the former neighbors or the specific area of interest of one of the family members, you can leave an announcement about the search for a person, for example, in the official group of the city in contact or in a group dedicated to his idol. Even if a person does not personally visit this community, it is possible that some of the members of the group will recognize him and help you contact him.

Use other search tools. There are many resources on the Internet that help you find lost loved ones. The most famous project to search for people is "Wait for me." The web address of the project is http://poisk.vid.ru. Contact there and / or similar services. In an extreme case - hire a reputable private detective. And may luck accompany you on your wanted list!
