When preparing a package of documents for selling an apartment or receiving any government service, many Russians are interested in the validity period of an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate for real estate in 2020. Of course, the more recent the information, the lower the risk that it will lose its relevance before the issue is resolved. However, there are often situations when collecting documentation takes a long time, which means that the applicant needs to know the validity period of the extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate in order to determine when it is best to order it.
Actual validity period of the extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate
Although the current legislation does not have limits regarding the validity period of an extract from the Unified State Register, and the limitation is caused solely by the loss of relevance of the data, in the real world everything looks completely different. In most cases, government agencies and various organizations refuse to accept extracts from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, the receipt of which exceeds 1 month.
This approach is due to the fact that agencies seek to minimize the risk of obtaining information that differs from the actual one. Among other things, you should take into account several nuances regarding the extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate:
- By accepting a certificate from an applicant that was received quite a long time ago, organizations run the risk that the information contained in the document will turn out to be irrelevant. Real estate can be sold, used as collateral or donated, which means that information about the owner will be different;
- Today, each organization has the right to individually set the validity period of an extract from the Unified State Register for real estate in 2020. Practice proves that most departments adhere to the standard limit of 30 days;
- The validity period of the extract from the Unified State Register is not affected by the legal status of the recipient. The relevance of the document will be identical for both a company representative and an ordinary citizen;
- If the extract was received more than a month ago, then to order an “updated” document you should visit Rosreestr, send an application electronically, or use special services.
Before ordering a certificate from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, experts recommend asking employees of the department to which the papers will be submitted which version of the document should be provided, paper or electronic.

What is the validity period of an electronic extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate?
There is a misconception that the validity period of an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate for real estate in 2020, provided that it is received electronically, will be less than that of a paper one. We hasten to reassure you that the rules regarding the validity period are the same for both options for extracting from the Unified State Register of Real Estate.
As for the ways to obtain an electronic version of the statement, there are several of them. The most common are ordering through the official Internet portal of Rosreestr and using a special electronic service. If the need arises, an urgent extract from the Unified State Register can be issued. On the one hand, it will cost slightly more than the standard version, but the information contained in the document is guaranteed to be reliable.
The main difference between an electronic extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate is the fact that it bears the digital signature of the registrar, while the paper version will have a live seal and signature.
When ordering a document through State Services or the Rosreestr website, the production time is 3 days. Sometimes you have to wait even longer for the paper version, which is due to the need to send papers from one organization to another.
It should also be noted that for the electronic and paper versions, not only the validity period of the extract from the Unified State Register for real estate in 2020 is identical, but also its legal significance. In other words, an electronic version can be submitted when receiving any state and municipal services, and refusal to accept it is illegal.
It should also be noted that ordering an electronic extract from the Unified State Register will be more profitable from the financial side. Its cost is much lower than that of a similar document, but in paper version.
Real estate registry information
Since January 2020, the Russian Federation Law of July 13, 2015 came into force in Russia. No. 218-FZ “On State Registration of Real Estate” (hereinafter referred to as Law 218-FZ).
Instead of the previously existing unified register of rights to real estate and transactions with it (USRE), the new law introduced the Unified State Register of Real Estate, which essentially combined the USRE and the real estate cadastre.
As for registration of rights, from January 2020 the new law fully regulates the procedure for providing information from the Unified State Register of Real Estate.
According to Article 62 of Law 218-FZ, information from the real estate register (USRN) is provided to any person upon request, with the exception of certain information, access to which is limited by law.
Real estate register information is provided by the state body for registration of rights. In 2020, these functions continue to be performed by the Federal State Registration Service, Cadastre and Cartography Service.
Both the state registration of rights to real estate and the provision of information from the real estate register are carried out by the Federal Service for State Registration of Cadastre and Cartography through multifunctional centers of state and municipal services.
What the law says
A detailed study of the current legislation makes it possible to verify that the regulatory documentation does not contain information regarding the limitation of the validity period of an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate or explaining the period during which the information contained in it will remain relevant.
In fact, the information reflected in the document is current at the time of its issuance. At the same time, it should be understood that such a procedure as a change of owner and other changes are made within a certain time, which means that you don’t have to worry too much about the reliability of the information in the extract from the Unified State Register. Taking into account all of the above, the validity period for an extract from the Unified State Register for real estate in 2020 is set at 30 calendar days.
As for Russian citizens who have previously received a certificate confirming their ownership, they must understand that this document remains valid, however, in some cases, issuing an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate cannot be avoided.
Why is a certificate needed?
Why a certificate is needed:
- Obtaining data on the cost of the apartment, how much it is valued at.
- Obtaining information that the owner owns all the necessary documents for real estate.
- Obtaining information about how and how many times the owner changed.
- Obtaining information about what rights the owner has to the residential property the buyer is interested in.
The certificate will help determine whether the owner is capable, incapacitated, or whether there are restrictions. The validity period of an extract from the Unified State Register for real estate depends on the relevance of the information.
What changes in legislation may occur in the future?
Although Russian legislation is regularly updated with new provisions, the validity period of an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate for real estate in 2020 remains unchanged. The only changes related to Rosreestr are related to registration actions:
- In the case of separate documentation related to cadastral registration and registration of property rights, the applicant must understand that to receive the first service he will need 7 working days, and for the second - 5;
- By simultaneously receiving the above services, you can achieve significant time savings. The waiting period for documents to be ready in this case will not exceed 10 working days;
- Another change affected the deadline for preparing an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate. Previously, the finished document could be picked up only after 5 days; now the production time is three days (excluding postage, if required).
If we talk about what changes regarding the validity period of an extract from the Unified State Register will occur in the future, then most likely a certain limit will still appear. According to experts, there are 2 reasons that make such changes in legislation quite relevant:
- The lack of clear restrictions forces specialists from various authorities to constantly explain to visitors the need to provide a “fresh” extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, which sometimes becomes the cause of conflicts;
- The information contained in the extract may lose relevance after 10-15 days, since during this period it is quite possible to enter data about the new owner or the imposed restriction into the Rosreestr database.
It should be noted that today the reform of the state registration system continues. Its completion is scheduled for early 2020. There is a high probability that during the remaining period, parliamentarians will nevertheless make appropriate adjustments to the legislation and the extract from the Unified State Register will have a certain validity period.

As we already know, the Russian Unified State Register of Legal Entities is a fiction, and the “FEDERAL TAX SERVICE” is a fictitious legal entity = a company not established as a service in the Russian Federation by Federal Law, but with registration in Dun & Bradstreet and the US Department of Labor! That is, the tax service of the Russian Federation is just a screen, which is why it is called the FEDERAL TAX SERVICE (FRS, FBI.). Full name: FEDERAL TAX SERVICE. Without Russia. It turned out that all companies and legal entities that are registered with the tax office enter DUNS. It is not yet clear who enters this data.

We ask the question: “Alice, where is the Russian Federation registered?” The Government of the Russian Federation is not registered in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities of the Russian Federation, but is registered as a commercial company in foreign registers - commercial company Dun & Bradsteet (USA) with DUNS No. 531298725 and as a taxpayer entity in the US Department of Labor with SIC No. 9111. All legal entities of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, the FSB of the Russian Federation, the FSSP of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, the courts of the Russian Federation and other commercial companies are also registered there as commercial organizations.
How long is an extract from the Unified State Register (EGRN) valid?
On January 1, 2020, the new law “On State Registration of Real Estate” dated July 13, 2015 No. 218-FZ (hereinafter referred to as the Law “On State Registration”) came into force, according to which information about real estate objects and rights to them is not recorded in the Unified State Register of Rights (USRP ), and in the Unified State Register of Real Estate (USRN) (Article 7). Accordingly, from this date, extracts are issued not from the Unified State Register, but from the Unified State Register. For the purposes of this article, both versions of the document title will be used in parallel.
The courts adhere to the same position. For example, in the appeal ruling dated September 18, 2014 in case No. 33-7616/2014, the Novosibirsk Regional Court indicated that although regulatory legal acts do not limit how long an extract from the Unified State Register is valid , a reasonable period of time for its submission is nevertheless assumed - 1 month. The court justified this by the need to maintain the relevance of the data given in the extract.
