What it is
A change of place of registration is an adjustment of the residential address, according to which a new stamp is placed in the passport.
To put it in simpler terms, in fact, a change of registration is the phenomenon when a person officially changes his own place of residence and notifies all the necessary regulatory authorities about it.
This phenomenon is necessary not only for the citizen himself, but also for all institutions that maintain migration records, as well as registration of citizens in Russia in general.
This applies to organizations such as:
- Military registration and enlistment office.
- Housing maintenance companies.
- Passport office and other migration services.
It should be understood that a change of registration implies a change in the place of registration on a permanent basis.
In other words, if a person applies for temporary registration, then in this situation his permanent place of residence remains the same, which means that no government agencies should be notified about this.
Currently, changing your registration must be done at the passport office. Since the Federal Migration Service has ceased to perform its own functions since 2020, people can now contact the departments of the Main Migration Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for this purpose.
In addition, citizens can always use the services of multifunctional centers. Also, for your own convenience, you can always submit an application to change your registration electronically.
This is done through the general portal “State Services” and on this resource a person can immediately make an appointment at a time that is convenient for him.
Which documents are subject to replacement and which are not?
After changing your registration, you will have to update all documentation that contains your registration address. First of all, of course, the changes will affect the main identification document - the passport. There you need to put a stamp with the new place of registration.
If a citizen owns real estate, then changes must be made to the relevant certificates. Changes in the following documentation will affect the male part of the population; they need to prepare a military ID for the update.
Citizens who own a motor vehicle are required to make appropriate changes regarding a change of place of registration in the vehicle registration certificate with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. The working part of the population and pensioners are required to report a change of address to the territorial branch of the pension fund.
According to the Federal Law, the Office of the Federal Migration Service, in whose department the process of registering a person is located, within the time limits specified by law, transfers information about the newly registered person to the following bodies:
- Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.
- Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation.
Papers such as: do not require mandatory replacement:
- TIN certificate;
- compulsory health insurance policy;
- driver's license;
- SNILS;
- servicing bank card.
However, after changing the city or region of residence, it is better to play it safe and clarify the terms of service of the card by the bank. It may be advisable to completely replace your bank card to avoid increased service costs.
In what cases does the TIN certificate need to be replaced?
A taxpayer identification number (TIN) is assigned to a citizen of the Russian Federation once and for life. The TIN will not change if you change your last name, first name, patronymic, marital status or place of registration.
But the TIN certificate itself will still have to be changed to reflect the taxpayer’s current personal information. To do this, you must submit a corresponding application to replace the TIN document with the Federal Tax Service. The time period during which it is necessary to exchange documentation is not regulated, and there are no penalties for this. However, if the citizen is a government employee, or he is about to receive a tax deduction, then you should not delay replacing the certificate.
Also, the taxpayer is required to receive a new TIN certificate, with up-to-date information, in case of loss of the old one, with payment of a certain amount, and in the event that he works in an organization that requires the accuracy and relevance of information in all documentation papers.
How to do it
In a situation where a citizen changes his own place of residence, he must necessarily follow a certain algorithm of actions.
Initially, he needs to visit two organizations:
- Passport office, which is located at the updated registration location. A visit to this institution is necessary within 7 days after a person deregisters himself at his previous place of residence.
- Housing office. At this institution you need to submit an application, according to which adjustments will be made to the documents. After this, utility bills will be charged to the citizen. Those people who live in large cities may not necessarily visit this organization, since all the necessary information will be transmitted directly from the migration service.
It is also important to take into account that in order for the changed place of registration to be reflected in the passport, it is imperative to submit this document to the control authority, after which a stamp will be placed on it, which will indicate the changed place of registration.
After all adjustments to the information have been made, all updated information will be transmitted to the migration control authorities.
A change in the place of registration will also be important for the military commissariat, which must be provided with information that a new registered potential conscript has appeared on its territory.
It is for this reason that men who change their place of registration are obliged to provide their own military ID to this institution.
In such a situation, there will be no significance from the factor how old the citizen is at the moment.

What documents should I change when changing my registration in 2020?
During a procedure such as changing your registration, it is important to understand that you will also need to change your documents.
Often, the total set of documents that need to be changed includes all the papers that indicate the citizen’s registration.
It is worth considering that adjustments will necessarily be made to the following documents:
- Passport.
- A certificate that proves ownership.
- A certificate that reflects the registration of the vehicle. It is important to understand that all adjustments made during the procedure for changing registration in the car registration information must be made within 10 days. Do not forget - in order for a change in registration address to be reflected in the traffic police database, you must write an application according to the established form, and attach to this application the necessary documents for the car, as well as a passport.
- Exactly the same rules will apply to changing the PTS for the moment when the registration address changes.
- Most people are also interested in whether it is necessary to change the TIN in the situation under consideration. In fact, this document is one of those that are issued once in a lifetime. Replacing this document will not be mandatory in such a situation, since the document number is also not subject to any changes. When a person moves to a new place, all information from the migration service is sent to the Federal Tax Service, which is located according to the citizen’s new residential address. It is important to understand that there is absolutely no need to send special notifications here. Accordingly, there is no need to change the TIN.
- Men, when changing their registration address, must put a note about this fact on their military ID, since all men are registered with the military registration and enlistment office.
- Many are also interested in whether there is a need to change their driver's license. Since this document is valid throughout the entire state, it is not necessary to change rights.
- Replacing a medical policy will also not be a mandatory procedure when changing your registration, because the policy, like a driver’s license, is valid throughout Russia.
It is important to understand that it is necessary to notify banking institutions of a change of registration address if the applicant has certain debt obligations to them, or if he has his own account there.
Who to report to
We talked about what documents need to be changed when changing registration. As we were able to find out, if a citizen registered at a new address, then a corresponding mark will be placed in her passport indicating the necessary information, and therefore this means that the foreign passport does not change, like other papers. However, this does not mean that you can register at a new place of residence and forget.
As practice shows, in order to avoid various problems, it is advisable to notify certain authorities of the change of registration address. First, a little about how the transfer of documents occurs. A person submits papers to the passport office. Then they go to other bodies, including the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which today carries out the tasks of the migration service. Also, documents must be sent to the Tax Service and the Pension Fund. This means that there is no need to notify them yourself when you register. The transfer of necessary information between various departments occurs without the participation of the citizen.
TIN certificate, compulsory medical insurance policy
Despite the fact that there are certain differences between these documents, if the registration address changes, they will not be subject to any changes or adjustments.
In the case of the TIN, it is worth noting that this document is issued once in a lifetime, and it is for this reason that you should not change this document when changing your place of residence.
The point is that this information has never been reflected and will not be reflected in this document.
At the same time, tax service employees will necessarily receive information about changes in the citizen’s place of residence and registration from the federal migration services.
This is done automatically within a certain time after the actual change of address.
As for medical insurance, the situation here is a little different. Yes, indeed, there is no need to change it, but not for the reason that it is issued once for life, but because it is valid throughout the whole of Russia.
Thus, regardless of whether a person has changed his place of registration or not, he can apply with this document to receive medical care at absolutely any institution in any Russian region.
Replacing vehicle registration when changing registration
Since this document is valid throughout the country, changing rights when changing registration is not mandatory.
- Changing the policy when changing the registration address is not a necessary procedure, since the policy is valid throughout the entire territory of the Russian Federation.
- Banking institutions to which there are debt obligations or in which an account has been opened should be notified of a change of place of registration.
Time frames When changing your place of registration, there are certain deadlines:
- If there is a change of registration address, you must register in the new place within seven days.
- If documents are submitted to the Federal Migration Service, the registration period is three days, if through the MFC or the housing department, the registration period is a week.
For the adult category of citizens, the registration result is confirmed by a stamp in the passport; for children, a registration certificate is issued.
