Today, searching for a person is not considered difficult, since there are quite a few ways to find out the necessary information. But even in this case, it is advisable to know at least minimal data that can help in this matter. Often the available information consists in the fact that only the surname or first name and patronymic are known. How to find out a person’s registration by name in such a situation?
How can you find out registration if necessary and the main reasons for the search?
Typically, the search problem applies to citizens who are hiding as alimony debtors or are defendants in court cases. A search is also carried out for the heirs, who are considered the legal successors of the testator. Many people are looking for their relatives or friends with whom, due to certain circumstances, they have lost contact. Reasons for searching for a person also include the following circumstances:
- if there is a purchase of living space, then you need to find out whether there are any registered in it;
- When alienating real estate, in order to obtain a certificate of the presence of people registered in it, you need to check the registration using passports.
Government services, as well as the Internet, can help in this matter, but in this case it is very difficult to find out your registration, since most people indicate minimal information about themselves. Although you can try, for example, by using a friend’s name to find him on social networks.
Having additional information, it will be much easier to find out about the person you are interested in. Sometimes people indicate their phone number on their pages on social networks, then you can just call. You can also send an application to Rosreestr or to the FSN website.
Options for checking your registration
By passport
Many people are interested in whether registration can be checked using a Russian passport. If you know the document details of the person you are looking for, then to obtain information you need to visit the official website of the Federal Migration Service, where you can determine the validity of the identity card.

You can read about the nuances of registering a residence permit in a private house in this article.
If the person of interest was not found in the service database, it is recommended to wait a while, since it is quite possible that the document was simply issued not so long ago and was not registered in the general list.
By last name
It is worth understanding that in order to acquire information about registered citizens, it is not sufficient to have information only about the name and patronymic of the home owner.
However, the service of checking registration by last name is widely advertised on various Internet sites. But it must be borne in mind that such advertisements are the result of the activities of fraudulent institutions.
Official resources require both a passport and a document that identifies property rights.
It is highly recommended not to enter information on third-party sites, as this can lead not only to the loss of money, but to unscrupulous persons using the provided data for fraudulent purposes.
By the address
It is quite possible to establish a registration at the address, but you will not be able to do it yourself.
- To achieve the desired goal, you need to contact a lawyer, as he has the right to carry out official requests to the appropriate authorities. And the services can answer him: both positively and negatively. You need to understand that you will not be able to find out the necessary information on your own in this way, since providing this information is considered a violation of the Law “On the Protection of Personal Data.” A lawyer has some chance of getting a satisfactory answer, but it is worth considering that his services are not very cheap.
- You can also check the authenticity of your registration at the address through law enforcement agencies, and completely free of charge. This option becomes available in the following cases:
- if the person sought has committed an offense;
- an official police report was filed against him;
- Service employees registered the appeal and approved compelling reasons for disclosing information from the database.
- You can also obtain information from the police unofficially. To do this, you need to visit the local police officer at your place of registration. Typically, a law enforcement officer has information of this kind and can help behind the scenes. But we must remember that he is not obliged to do this, so his willingness to help depends on his personal qualities, relationships and the circumstances of the current situation.
- It is also possible to solve the problem under consideration without involving government officials. For example, searching for a person by address via social networks. A free, but not very reliable way to determine registration. But if it is not possible to obtain information in other ways, using social networks can greatly help. In the same forums and groups of a city or even a region, you can post a post asking for help with a question of interest. There is a chance that a knowledgeable person will respond to the request and solve the problem. But you should understand that people living in the apartment may not be registered in it.
- Through numerous databases on the Internet. The reliability of such information, again, is not very reliable. But it can be obtained in a short time without formalizing a request. It must be taken into account that scammers often hide behind such resources. Therefore, you should not send any SMS messages or transfer funds without receiving any guarantees.
- A private detective can help determine the registration details at the address. Its services are quite expensive, but the information is more rich and reliable. Depending on the goal, he can conduct a covert investigation or constant surveillance of the address of interest, which will allow him to learn some details and features about the registration of persons at the provided location.
Obviously, using the address you can verify the authenticity of your registration in numerous ways. But they all have some nuances that make them not very attractive.
On the Internet
Currently, the Internet is quite popular among all segments of the population. It allows you to get all the desired information without leaving your home. As for determining registration via the Internet, this option is not always sufficiently effective in comparison with the traditional application to the FMS.
Answering how to check your registration online, we can say that one of the most reliable and safe sources of information can be considered the official resource - Rosreestr. It is used by many law firms or real estate agencies when selling or buying a home. This resource also allows you to determine whether an apartment has a mortgage.
After entering data in the appropriate field, help is displayed in the form of an image on the device monitor. It can later be printed. In addition, data can be obtained through Russian Post.
Is it possible to find out the place of registration of a citizen only by last name on your own?
You can find out at what address a citizen is registered in different ways. To do this, you will need to make appropriate requests to special services. But if we take into account the presence of namesakes, it will be a little difficult to find out registration by only one surname. To have a better chance of getting results, you will need to know at least the approximate address, as well as the date of birth.
Why is this required?
A residence address may be required for various reasons. But the most popular include the following:
- If the child's parent does not pay child support. Even if the court has ruled that such payments must be made, the defendant may say that he did not receive this document because he is registered at a different address. In this case, the second parent can contact the FMS to obtain passport data and determine the place of registration.
- The heirs to whom the property was transferred after the death of a citizen are located according to passport data. Moreover, this does not depend on whether they are legal or indicated in the will. The FMS will provide information to find the person’s place of residence.
- FMS officers can look for defendants in a lawsuit. To hold a citizen accountable, a claim is filed at his place of residence.
- A person can find out their registration by last name to find close relatives. Proof of relationship is required, and then FMS employees will help.
- The owner at any time has the right to receive information about the citizens living in his housing.
Sometimes legal entities need to find out their registration by full name. For example, you can contact the Federal Migration Service to verify the accuracy of the specified data or search for loan debtors. Using passport data, you can find out your registration in different ways, as presented below.
What are the ways to find out your registration address?
There is a list of official ways to find out the necessary information about the person you are interested in. The most common and effective include contacting:
- Federal Migration Service body. This department deals with the issue of registration of citizens who live on the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as individuals staying in the country for more than 7 days. In addition, here you can find out information if a person bought a plane ticket or other transport in connection with moving to another city.
- Information desk. Such institutions are located in all regions of the state, where information is also available about the place of residence of a person at his registration address.
- EGRN. The service deals with issues of real estate registration. Accordingly, the necessary information is entered into the database.
- Bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This method occurs if the wanted citizen has committed unlawful actions against a person who wants to find him.
- Inspectorate of the Federal Tax Service. By TIN. Such a document, although indirectly related to its owner, can be used to find out whether the wanted citizen has any debts, and if they exist, find out the passport details, where, accordingly, there is information about registration.
- Private detective. To come to the rescue in this matter, since it has a more expanded list of possibilities for contacting the relevant services. In this case, it is worth indicating only the first name, last name and patronymic, date of birth, and having additional information will greatly simplify the search.
- Phonebook. The method is not very effective. The thing is that the information indicated in it may have incomplete information, since they are issued for a certain period of time. Outdated versions may not contain the latest information regarding the person of interest.
- Traffic police It is possible to find out the place of residence by knowing the car number of the citizen who is being sought. In this case, an appeal is made to the traffic police authorities or you can enter the car’s license plate into their database. After receiving information on the car number, you can actually look up information regarding the registration of the car owner.
- Authorized bodies. An effective way to find a citizen is to contact the authorized bodies, since they have more opportunities. This is due to the fact that information about the personal data of citizens is not disclosed due to the specified legislation. But the official duties of the authorized bodies also include searching for people, so they have access to all databases where there is complete information about all subjects of the state. In addition, they have the opportunity to obtain the necessary information from other services that have the necessary information.
- Internet databases. Regarding the question of how to find out the registration from the passport details of a wanted citizen, there are options on the Internet to find out the registration on special sites, but in order to avoid falling for scammers, it is best not to contact the World Wide Web with such information.
It is worth noting that the question of finding out the registration of the citizen of interest can be difficult. This is due to the fact that any information about a person’s personal data is considered classified, and only authorized bodies have access to it.
By name and phone number
It is not always possible to find a person’s place of residence using passport details, because not everyone has the opportunity to find out the data in the documents. Sometimes it is enough to know the phone number and full name of the person you are looking for (find a person by last name).
It is almost impossible to identify a person by name without knowing other data; you need to collect more information.
By phone number, you can find out the place of residence of a person, using numerous telephone directories for the Russian Federation and cities. Another convenient way to search for a person through social networks and online search engines (the so-called search for a person via the Internet)
.
Of course, it’s not easy to find out a person’s registration on social networks. No one usually writes the exact address, but collecting additional data is quite possible
. Many people leave comments under the photos, or you can find out the area if the person you are looking for lives in the same city as the person looking for it. With due care, you can not only find a person using passport data, but also using a regular page on the Internet.
Where do you need to apply and what papers are needed for this?
A request to the FMS may be effective, since it deals with registration issues, namely registration at the place of residence, regardless of whether the person will reside permanently or only needs temporary registration. This is because this service undertakes to register a person upon his request.
In order to make a request to the Federal Migration Service, you will need to send an application to the appropriate department at your place of residence, then:
- fill out an established form where you will need to indicate all known information regarding the wanted person;
- write a statement indicating the reasons for the search;
- The request will be processed approximately 15-30 days; this is the period of time the data is verified.
It is worth noting the fact that you can contact the FMS not only by visiting this service in person, but also by sending an application through a special portal - State Services. You can also find out online information of interest regarding the registration of a citizen who is being sought. For example, information about registration can be found out in the FMS from a foreign passport; if a person was in the territory of another state or traveled to another country, then it is possible to find out the plane flight where exactly he went.
As for the help desk, such a service is located in each region, so you can contact the nearest point. Here you will also need:
- fill out a form with all reliably known information about the person;
- the designated time, namely within 30 days, the bureau will verify the information.
But there is one caveat: it lies in the fact that if several citizens with the same information (namesakes) are found, information is issued for all those found.
As for the papers that will need to be provided, it all depends on the reasons for searching for a particular person. As already noted, personal information about citizens is considered confidential, and requests are mainly made by authorized bodies. But individuals can also make a request, for example:
- to a real estate agency, providing a passport and, accordingly, a purchase and sale agreement;
- the Unified State Register also requires a passport and an agreement related to the purchase and sale of real estate;
- notarized permission;
- Law enforcement agencies also need a passport.
How else can you find out about registration?
Theoretically, you can get registration details, knowing your passport details, using:
- Unified State Register;
- Management company;
- ATS;
- court.
These authorities will approve an application for information if the citizen has committed an offense and the applicant can document this.
For example, if the violator took out a debt, signed an agreement and refuses to repay. Then you can go to court with a claim and find a citizen
. However, the address of registration and residence does not always coincide.
A citizen has the right to know whether the registration address in his name was verified. For example, this is needed when an intermediary or company needs to establish the veracity of data. In this case, the applicant must contact the Department of Internal Affairs.
If a citizen has relatives in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they can help obtain registration information. However, the databases advertised on some sites are often fake, created with the aim of infecting users’ computers with viruses.
If it is impossible to find a citizen on the Internet, the FMS authorities can provide information about permanent and temporary registration. According to Russian law, every citizen is required to register at his place of residence and notify the migration service.
This organization has the largest database and includes all regions and divisions of the country's passport and visa service.
For the FMS to provide data, a citizen must:
- go to the nearest FMS office with your passport;
- fill out an application in free form, FMS employees will issue a form;
- indicate all data known about the person;
- indicate the reason for the search and your data;
- apply;
- receive a certificate with the date and time of the next visit;
- go to the branch and get registration information.
FMS employees have up to 30 days to find the citizen. If a citizen has submitted an application through State Services, he will be able to track the process online in his personal account.
If a citizen knows the full name, region of residence and year of birth of the wanted person, he can obtain the data on the website of the Federal Bailiff Service.
To do this you will need:
- go to the services section, find the category “Data Bank of Enforcement Proceedings”;
- select “Search for individuals”, enter known data;
- click "Find".
The search will not take much time; in a couple of minutes the site will give the citizen the available data.
By TIN
Legal entities can use a TIN to track down a citizen, but it will be more difficult for an individual to obtain information. The TIN can be used on the Federal Tax Service website to obtain information about:
- region of issue of the document (indicated in the first 4 digits of the TIN);
- personal data of an individual if there are grounds (indicated in the next 6 digits);
- access to simplified data based on the last 2 digits.
On the website you can only see the region of issue and full name; to find out the place of registration, you need to personally submit a request to the Russian tax service.
An individual must have ownership of real estate in order to find out whether a citizen is registered there. If the applicant has the right to act on behalf of the person who owns the property, they will also be provided with the necessary information.
Full name and phone number
If you have a telephone number and full name, you can find out the citizen’s place of residence using the telephone directory by region or city. Using the first and last name, you can find a person on social networks.
You can also submit a request to the information desk. To do this you will need:
- find a branch of the nearest bureau via the Internet;
- come to the address;
- submit an application in free form, indicate all known information about the citizen;
- come on the agreed day and get registration information.
If several persons are found at the information desk, the applicant will receive information about each of them. Employees have the right to request written evidence of the legitimacy of the search.
Car number
You can find registration information by car number in the traffic police database. If the data is entered correctly, the site will display not only the registration address, but also the full name and other standard information about the subject.
On the website numplate ru and others like it, you can find a person’s registration by car number. Search is available by last name and registration number.
If a person drives a car purchased by proxy, it will not be possible to find out the place of registration. You can also find a page on social networks on the site.
How much does it cost to find out information about a person?
In order to receive the necessary information about the place of registration of a citizen, you should not forget that such data can be found in different ways. Some of them are paid, while some services are provided completely free of charge. Eg:
- If you search on the Internet, then depending on the site you choose, the cost can range from 1,000 to 10,000 rubles.
- If a request is submitted to Rosreestr or a tax authority, you will need to pay a state fee of 200 rubles (from individuals) or 600 rubles (from legal entities).
I would like to make a warning: the fact is that there are quite a lot of sites on the Internet that provide services for finding people for a fee. But in this case, you should not provide them with your personal information, especially the series and passport number, since they can be used by scammers for their own gain.
Searching for information via the Internet online
Obtaining information using online services is a current method that has recently gained popularity.
There are two official options with which you can acquire important data:
There is a third option - using the functions of third-party virtual services. In specific cases, this method can be used to obtain the necessary information, but it is illegal.
Such sites usually hide criminals who, in exchange for information, demand either payment or personal data for future use for fraud.
Checking the TIN on the tax portal is quite simple.
You need to follow the instructions:
Within 1-5 minutes the system will provide basic information on the taxpayer.
Another convenient option for obtaining information on the TIN is to submit a request through the Public Services portal.
The verification procedure is carried out similarly to the process of conducting search actions through the tax authorities’ website. A verified account is required. When registering, a citizen gains access to a large number of online services.
Sequencing:
No additional actions are required from the applicant - the citizen receives the same information provided by the tax police. In this case, an expanded list of documents is provided for submitting a request.
What is the liability for illegal activities?
According to the law, namely Art. 137 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides for liability for an attempt on the privacy of a person. Therefore, if the search for information is aimed at distributing it, then the punishment may be in the form of:
- the indicated amount of penalties;
- deduction of earnings for a certain period;
- referrals to community forced labor;
- ban on professional activities;
- imprisonment.
Therefore, if a citizen who is interested in information regarding another person has selfish goals, it is worth thinking about the consequences that may arise in the future. In any case, when applying for information, you must justify your request.
Checking your residence permit using your passport: legal grounds and methods
To submit an application to the migration service and find a registration address using passport data, you must follow a certain algorithm of actions:

How to find out where a person is registered
In other cases, to obtain information you may need:
- receipt of payment of state duty - in case of receiving an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate;
- power of attorney - if the homeowner does not have the opportunity to personally receive information, and other persons do not have the right to receive it without special permission;
The list of invalid passports used is posted on the official website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is structured data. The identities of passport holders are not disclosed, which does not lead to a violation of the current legislation of Russia. If necessary, the interested individual or legal entity has the right to integrate the federal database with the operation of its information systems.
Extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate
This information has a partially open status and can be provided to a certain circle of people, provided they have a passport and a completed written application.
Third parties who have nothing to do with a specific property do not have the right to receive an extract from the Register about the composition of citizens registered at a specific address, only when they receive official permission from one of the residents, the owner of the property or a representative of the municipality, if the apartment belongs to a government agency.
The permission is issued in the form of a notarized power of attorney.
Having such a power of attorney with an apostille or registration papers or certificates of ownership of the apartment, you can contact the registrar to obtain a certificate. For private houses, an archival extract from the house register is provided.
To do this you must provide:
- identification:
- title documents for real estate;
- power of attorney (if the request is submitted by a third party);
- application form No. 11;
- original house register (for the private sector).
Checking a citizen using the database of the executive service

To complete a request, the full name and region of registration of the person you are looking for is sufficient. To increase the likelihood of a successful search, entering the month and day will help you find the person faster.
