The notorious housing problem has spoiled not only Muscovites. Most people live in one way or another in fear of losing their registration. Moreover, it becomes more and more difficult to register in a privatized apartment from year to year.
Instructions
Step 1
If you are the owner (or one of the owners) of an apartment in which you want to register, then the registration procedure is extremely simple for you. Take a certificate of ownership of the apartment and your passport and go to the passport officer at the location of the apartment. Do not forget in advance (by phone) to clarify the schedule of reception of a passport officer on registration issues. Also, be prepared to part with your documents (in particular, your passport) for several days (but no more than a week). But after this time, a brand new registration stamp will appear in your passport.
Step 2
It's another matter if you are not the owner of the premises in which you intend to register, but are a close relative of the owner. In this case, you also need to apply to the passport office with a passport and a certificate of ownership of the apartment. But this must be done in the presence of the owner of the apartment. He will write a statement in which he will indicate that he does not mind registering you in his apartment.
Step 3
If you are neither the owner of the premises, nor a close relative of the owner of the premises, then only temporary registration is available to you. You need to agree with the owner of the apartment in which you want to register, and apply with him to the Passport and Visa Service of the area where the apartment is located. They will consider your documents and make a decision whether to register you or refuse to register.
