Through registration, the state controls population migration. Distinguish between temporary (with a limited date of registration of a citizen) and permanent registration at a specific place of residence or place of arrival. For non-compliance with the registration regime, fines are imposed to both individuals without registration and to the owners of the housing where they stayed.
You will need
- - passport;
- - application of the established form for registration;
- - a document confirming the right of temporary residence of a citizen in the indicated dwelling (consent of the person providing the dwelling to the citizen, employment contracts);
- - in some cases, additional documents (to be specified in advance by the registration authorities).
Instruction manual
1
The Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 22, 2004 changed the period after which registration for Russian citizens is required. Instead of 3 days, now it is 90. That is, a Russian citizen can live without registration for a long time, but it will be difficult for him to get a compulsory medical insurance policy at the place of work, rent a car and apply for a loan.

If you are a citizen of the Russian Federation, upon arrival at a new place, go with the owner of the house where you stayed to the registration authorities and write a statement about temporary registration at a specific address. Registration is subject to a state fee. Pay it at any branch of the bank and attach the receipt to the application and necessary documents. Registration of a Russian citizen takes 3 days.
