How to properly register in a private house: useful tips

Problematic situations with registration

There are various points related to this action, when considering which citizens have questions.

These usually include registration of children, attachment to unfinished construction projects, and ownership of shared property.

Let us dwell on each of these points in more detail to clarify and understand the subsequent actions. Technically, carrying out these manipulations will not present any difficulties. Various registration options are possible. One of them is temporary, the second is permanent.

Why do you need registration:

• assignment to a medical institution at this address and treatment there
• possibility of placing children in educational institutions
• use of services such as pension fund, tax office, employment center
• official employment.

It doesn’t matter whether the registration is permanent or made for a certain period, in any case you will be required to provide a package of mandatory documents.

The mechanism of this procedure and the list of documents

What needs to be done in order to register in a private house and which competent authorities will have to be visited? To do this, you should submit an application to the passport office or the department of the MFC to which the house building is attached. Documentary evidence must be provided that the building has received the status of premises suitable for habitation.

Also, if the person being registered is not the owner, the written consent of all owners of the property will be required. If there are no obstacles to the procedure, the applicant must collect and submit the required package of documents to the executing authority.

There are differences among the papers that should be prepared, depending on whether it is a temporary or permanent registration. How to register in the house, and what list of documents is needed?

Permanent residence registration:

• a statement drawn up in accordance with an established regulatory form;
• the applicant's identity card;
• grounds for registration and settlement;
• Departure sheet received at your previous place of residence.

What it is?

Registration in a private house is a notification from the FMS that a citizen is temporarily or permanently residing at the specified address . This process is a legal requirement based on Law 5242-1 of 1993 (last amended 2020).

What is it for?

Registration involves the transfer of information to the state about the place of residence of a particular citizen. Entering data into the FMS database opens up the opportunity to use all available government services in the assigned region. Also, registration of a person is carried out in order to establish his location for sending notices and summonses.

note

Registration does not provide any grounds for recognizing the real estate in which a registered citizen lives as his property.

Such a right is granted only by personal decision of the owner (the right to dispose of personal property is guaranteed to him by the Constitution).

Grounds and conditions for registration

The main requirement for initializing the registration process is travel outside the region of residence (subject of the Russian Federation) for a period of 3 months or more . If the period of stay is shorter, then it is not necessary to register in someone else’s property (if there is a permanent place of registration).

And to be able to register in a house that does not belong to the registered person, written permission from the owner is required. An exception is if a citizen has a document of rent or rental housing in his hands.

We recommend: Free and urgent right to use a land plot: what does it mean, how to get it?

Providing the opportunity to temporarily use real estate with the receipt of financial benefits is regarded as an agreement by the owner to register a citizen in the subject of the rental agreement (in a house that is rented on a commercial basis).

Is it possible to register in an unfinished home?

For citizens who are engaged in independent construction of a facility, they may need to be attached to their own housing construction until the completion of construction.

If this situation arises, when registration is required in an unfinished private house, this action will not be possible.

Following the law, you can live, as well as register, only in a place suitable for this, and an unfinished building is not such a thing. Based on legislative documents, this is not a dwelling yet, but only building materials.

In order for the procedure of assignment to a specific address to be carried out, the house must be put into operation and the conclusion of a special expert commission that recognizes the premises as suitable for habitation. In this case, even if you have a certificate of ownership, you will not be able to obtain either temporary or permanent registration.

In a situation where individual buildings in a village under construction have been put into operation, the owners have the opportunity to obtain registration. In villages, the exact opposite situations often occur - a dilapidated, dilapidated building, but according to the documents it is listed as residential and it is quite possible to register in it.

Important! When purchasing housing construction in the private sector or rural areas for the purpose of permanent registration and residence, you must definitely clarify whether it is suitable for habitation. The site must have a intended purpose - housing construction. A low price should alert you; it often signals that the purchase may bring unpleasant surprises.

Reasons for refusal

The reasons for refusal may be the following:

• No real estate available.
• The development stage does not allow the property to be put into operation.
• The residential premises were built on land not intended for residential real estate development.
• A private house belongs to a dacha building (is it possible to register at a dacha in a gardening partnership?).

What to do in this case?

If the state body refuses registration due to an insufficient degree of housing development, the applicant can re-apply to create a commission for the construction site and obtain a conclusion on readiness , subject to the fulfillment of the necessary points for registering citizens at a new place of residence.

If the applicant receives a refusal to register at a dacha property, the decision can be challenged through a judicial authority, subject to the fulfillment of certain obligations.

It is possible to register in an unfinished residential property if the degree of construction exceeds 70%. After the applicant has received a conclusion about the readiness of the facility for operation and has collected the necessary package of documents, he can apply to the government agency to undergo the registration procedure. If the conclusion is refused, the applicant may re-apply for the document after correcting the relevant construction points.

Is it possible to register for some of the housing?

In the case when a person owns a share of living space, for example, when inheriting a separate part, the question arises - how to register in his share of the dwelling.

What needs to be done in this situation:

1. Obtain an extract from the house register at your previous place of residence.
2. Provide ownership documents, passport, and departure sheet to the current address.
3. After checking the documents, receive a new registration at the appointed time.

Attention! If the person being registered is registered with the military, you should visit the military registration and enlistment office at the old address of residence, de-register there, and register in a new location. You should have the necessary documents, such as a military ID, a passport, a standard application form and a card from the passport office (Form 9).

Sometimes, situations occur when official bodies try to issue a refusal of registration, arguing that there is insufficient place to live (applies to situations when a share is purchased for permanent registration).

Methods and procedure for submitting documents

The design mechanism will depend on which method is chosen - and there are several of them:

• contacting the passport office;
• to the passport officer at the management company;
• through a multifunctional center;
• registration through State Services.

Let us briefly examine the listed methods.

Registration through the passport office and through the management company are not much different: the only difference here will be where to go with the documents. You will need to fill out an application for registration on site. Those liable for military service will receive an apartment card - it will need to be taken to the military registration and enlistment office, and then returned with a note from the military commissar about registration.

When all the documents have been prepared, the date of issue will be set: if an extract has already been issued from the previous place of residence, then the process will take no more than three days, otherwise it may take a week or two.

When contacting the MFC, you will also need to provide all the necessary papers, however, documents on ownership will not be required: then information about this will be requested by the center’s employees in Rosreestr. Although, if you present them, the registration will go faster.

Otherwise, everything is the same as in previous cases, which is not surprising, because the MFC in this case will act only as an intermediary, and the registration itself will be carried out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Registration through the State Services website differs from previous options primarily in that it is carried out online.

The application is submitted through the website, for which you need to be registered on it. If for some reason it is inconvenient for you to contact the passport office or other place of registration in person, for example, due to inappropriate working hours, then State Services will be the best option even if you do not have a registered account, because you need to register it once, and you can use it in a variety of cases.

If you are already a registered user, then everything is simple, and it will take no more than ten minutes to submit an application, which significantly saves time compared to a personal visit.

You need to do the following:

• go to the portal www.gosuslugi.ru;
• select the desired service;
• fill out and submit the application;
• After registration is completed, a message about this will be sent to your personal account indicating the time at which you will need to visit the Ministry of Internal Affairs department.

As you can see, you still won’t be able to do without going to the department completely, but you will only have to do it once, and not twice, as in the usual case.

How to register in a new private house?

To complete the registration procedure in a new personal home, you need to perform a number of actions and prepare the required documents, including the following:

1. Obtaining an opinion from the interdepartmental commission on commissioning.
2. Registration of living space and registration of ownership of it.
3. Deregistration at the previous address. In the case of persons liable for military service, they are removed from military registration at the military registration and enlistment office and registered at a new address.
4. People living within the city apply to the district passport office or department of a multifunctional center, and rural residents go to the village administration, where the passport office employee is located.

The list of basic documents for registration in a new private home includes an identity card, a birth certificate (for young children), and a document on the right to personal property.

Important! When registering citizens of the Russian Federation, no fee is charged, but when servicing foreign nationals, a fee of two hundred rubles must be paid. The payment receipt is attached to the main package of papers.

Procedure for registration in a private house: registration instructions

The first thing a tenant needs is to obtain documentary evidence of the right to move into a residential building. For owners this is an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, for tenants this is a lease agreement.

Persons who are not the owners can register in the house only after approval from the owner. If the housing is owned by several owners, consent is drawn up by each of them. In this case, the co-owners must sign the document in the presence of authorized persons or issue a notarized consent.

Having collected the documents necessary for registration in a private house, the applicant is recommended to adhere to the following order:

1. Contact the owner of the house, the nearest MFC or directly the OVM through the State Services portal.
2. Provide a package of documents. When accepting a package of documents, responsible persons check their completeness and correctness, certify the owner’s signature, and verify passport data. If necessary, the applicant is issued a certificate of acceptance of documents.
3. If the documents are accepted by the owner or the MFC, they are forwarded to the MFC within 3 days.
4. Review of documents and decision making. Since the registration obligation is of a notification nature, there are no grounds for refusing registration. The applicant can be refused only at the stage of accepting documents on the basis of an insufficient set of documents or violation of the procedure for submitting them.
5. Registration of a passport. An employee of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs makes two notes in the document: cancels the old registration and issues a new one.
6. The documents, along with the passport, are returned to the owner of the house/to the MFC.
7. Handing over the passport to the applicant.

Registration in a house without ownership rights

Registration and ownership are different concepts, not necessarily complementary. A person who is tied to a specific premises does not receive personal ownership rights to it. To register such a tenant, the consent of all owners of private housing construction is required.

List of items included in a typical standard agreement with a tenant:

• information about the premises
• conditions under which the employer's registration takes place
• contract time
• signatures of participants.

Registration of minors

Children under fourteen years of age do not have the right to sign due to their insufficient legal age. Instead, this is carried out by their legal representatives, which include parents, adoptive parents or guardians.

To register a minor, the following is required:

• applicant's passport;
• child's birth certificate;
• extract from the house register and certificate;
• certifying ownership of housing.

As for newborns, they are also required to register at the current address of one of their parents, no later than a week after receiving a birth certificate, otherwise they face administrative punishment in the form of a fine.

Important! The owner's consent is not required to register a child, provided that one of the parents lives in the same place.

Documentation

The package of papers depends on the specific situation. Let's focus on the main list, which will be required in most cases:

• Identity document or birth certificate.
• Ownership rights to the house.
• An application in a specific form.
• A document stating that a person has the right to move in: a lease agreement, an order, a court order, etc.

If registration is needed by an outsider, a lease agreement will be required. If the house is in shared ownership, the consent of all residents is required. The situation is similar if the property belongs to the local municipality. In addition to residents, permission from the district/village administration will be required.

IMPORTANT! The registration authority may request documents on ownership on its own, in order to exclude the possibility of fraud.

Since the application is the main document in the entire list, let’s pay attention to it. It must reflect the following facts:

1. full name of the registration authority;
2. information about the applicant (full name, contact details, residential address, etc.);
3. information about your current place of registration;
4. duplicated passport data.

One way or another, an employee of the organization will tell you what needs to be added or corrected.
