According to the Constitution and laws of the Russian Federation, it is impossible to restrict a person in his rights if he is legally located in the country, but he does not have registration. This means that you can live without a registration, however, there are nuances here.
Two clauses in the Constitution - part 1 of article 27 and part 1 of article 40 - give Russian citizens the right to freely move around the country, choose their place of stay and place of residence, and the right to housing, regardless of whether citizens have a residence permit or not.
Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation No. 8 dated October 31, 1995 states that if a person does not have registration, this is not a reason to restrict his rights and freedoms, including the right to housing. This is also confirmed by Article 3 of the Law of the Russian Federation No. 5242-1 of 25.06.1993.
All this means that even if a person does not have a registration, he has the right to:
- reception in state institutions: registry office, hospital or post office;
- enrollment of a child in a kindergarten or school;
- conclusion of an employment contract.
And it is prohibited to deny a person a job and an employment contract because he does not have registration.
But there are other legal norms: Article 19.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation defines a fine of 1500-2500 rubles for the fact that a citizen lives without registration at the place of stay or at the place of residence. But such a fine is legitimate only if the person has not registered in the premises where he has lived for more than 90 days.
What is impossible without registration
You cannot easily and quickly place children in school and kindergarten. Yes, according to the law they are obliged to accept them without a residence permit, but in reality they will accept children on a leftover basis. This means that first of all they will take those who live close to the kindergarten or school, and this is confirmed by documents. All the rest - later. In practice, visitors may be refused altogether, saying that there are no vacancies.
You cannot vote because citizens registered in the territory of the polling station are included in the voter list. And if the registration is temporary, then such a person must come to the election commission 3 days before the elections to write an application. In the application, he will indicate that he is asking to be added to the list at the place of stay.
Difficulties will arise with medical attention. Yes, according to the law, it is obliged to provide it to all citizens of Russia, in whatever region of the country they are. In practice, there are no problems with emergency care, but when you need to go to the clinic, the question of “fixing” will arise - the citizen must choose where he will be treated permanently. Prior to this choice, you cannot see a doctor.
It will be difficult to get a cheap loan, because banks want to protect themselves and minimize risks, for which they require permanent or temporary registration. And if it is not there, the interest for the loan can be significantly increased.
Is it possible to temporarily register in a rented apartment
Clause 10 of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 713 of July 17, 1995 says that it is possible, but only by mutual agreement with:
- the tenant and all members of his family who live with him, if it comes to a state or municipal apartment;
- the owner of the apartment;
- boards of housing and construction and housing cooperatives.
Without the consent of the owner of the apartment or the tenant of municipal housing, it is impossible to register in the rented apartment.
