How to obtain consent for temporary registration

Unlike an application, a registration permit can be issued in free form. But there are mandatory requirements for the information it must contain. This:

The document is drawn up in two copies. One is attached to the package of papers, the second remains with the applicant.

Cost and processing time

To obtain temporary registration, there is no need to pay either the tenant or the property owner. The procedure does not imply the payment of any state fees and is carried out absolutely free of charge, therefore UVM employees do not have the right to demand money from the applicant. But sometimes real estate agencies help with registration and have the right to charge a certain amount from clients.

Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, including when sent by mail: from 1 to 10 days;
MFC: no longer than 7 days;
Government services: 10 days.

If employees find errors during the review of documents, the applicant will be notified of this by telephone. He will have to correct the inaccuracies and resubmit the papers. In this case, the review period will be extended.

Algorithm of actions

You should start solving the question of how to make an official temporary registration in St. Petersburg by searching for housing. It should be noted that not only accommodation is required, but also registration. Not all owners agree to officially register tenants.

Other citizens must approve the move-in of temporary residents. Written approval is required from those over 18 years of age.

When the documents are ready, you can register through the MFC or passport office. Previously, issues related to registration were dealt with by employees of the Federal Migration Service; now the provision of public services takes place in the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Standard documents for applicants:

passport, and for minor citizens - birth certificate,
application: the form is filled out by the applicant, signed by the applicant and the owner of the property,
the document serving as the basis for settlement is a rental agreement, and if the visitor is registered in his own living space, then he will need a certificate of ownership or an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate,
written approval of the property owner and adult citizens.

When documentation is sent by post, it is necessary to have the rental agreement certified by a notary.

Procedure and terms of temporary registration

Any citizen is required to temporarily register at his place of residence if he leaves his permanent residence address for more than 90 days. The procedure is mandatory, but it greatly simplifies the work of the state and the life of the citizen himself. It becomes easier for authorities to track the movements of Russians within the country, and newly registered ones can draw up documents and enjoy benefits at a new address.

For temporary registration, you will definitely need the consent of the owner of the rented apartment. If the parties do not have friendly or family relations, owners often refuse to register a tenant in their own living space. But this is quite safe, since a registered citizen does not have the right to dispose of the apartment in any way. In addition, the owner can remove him from the living space at any time.

The period of validity of temporary registration depends on the time that the applicant intends to spend at the new address. This could be 3 months, six months or a year.

Important! After completing the procedure, the applicant is given a paper certificate of temporary registration with a stamp. The permanent registration stamp in the passport remains the same, since the permanent residence address does not change.

Pros of temporary registration

However, responsibilities are also imposed on him - for example, fees are charged for the use of electricity, water, and gas. The tenant is also obliged to comply with all the requirements for residents of an apartment building.
