An extract from a permanent or temporary place of residence may be needed when moving, selling property, resettling, or changing family composition. There are, of course, more complex situations, for example, the death of a relative, the disappearance of a person, and others. In this article, we will look at several options for completing the discharge procedure, from which you can choose the one that suits you.
Description of the discharge process through the MFC and the necessary documents
Personal visit to the territorial office of the MFC
Discharge through the department of the Multifunctional Center is not particularly difficult. Let's take a closer look at how to check out through the MFC.
You will need to clarify the work schedule of the MFC, come by appointment, for example, by making an appointment by phone, or at any time convenient for you, take a coupon and, according to it, wait to be called to the window where the specialist is located. You need to take the following documents with you:
- Russian passport or other identification document. For children under 14 years old - a birth certificate, for those older - only a passport.
- Application for deregistration. It can be downloaded in advance from the Internet. They will also be able to tell you on the spot what it should contain and give you a form to fill out and a sample for each specific case. For a child under 14 years of age, guardians or parents must write an application. It is worth knowing that the application, which is written long before the expiration of the stated departure period, must contain this wording.
- Fill out the so-called departure address sheet (it is also issued by the multifunctional center). If discharge occurs before the expiration of the period of stay, then you will need to bring a certificate in Form No. 3, otherwise - in Form No. 8.
After the employee accepts all the above papers and informs you of the expected date of document readiness, you will receive a receipt from him, and according to it, at the appointed time, your ready documents.
Remotely (via the Internet)
This service can be partially remote, which is especially important for saving your own time. Its advantage is that you will only have to contact the MFC once, and not twice, as in the option of visiting a branch in person. This procedure will really facilitate the check-out process if you currently have a confirmed account on the portal www.gosuslugi.ru, so it is worth noting: the registration itself and confirmation of your personal account on the site may take time, since to complete the registration process you must contact the branch Russian Post or Rostelecom.

But, if you already have a personal confirmed account, you can immediately begin the checkout process. Make sure all outstanding balances are paid before you begin, otherwise your application will be rejected.
They can also deregister if there is a debt, but this may require challenging the decision.
Next, enter the following data (attach copies of the requested information) by selecting the appropriate menu item in the FMS section:
- certificate from the house register;
- scans of passport (with registration page);
- if you want, you can indicate not only the old, but also the new address, if available;
- choose a convenient MFC office;
- click “Confirm”;
- you are waiting to receive a notification asking you to appear at the address you selected in point five.
Important! Take all original documents with you, a specialist will check them and put a stamp in your passport about deregistration at your place of residence.
Through a proxy
You will need to find a notary and bring him the following papers:
- the original of your identity document;
- a scan of the passport of the person for whom you are issuing a power of attorney;
- everything else necessary for the deregistration procedure you have chosen (copies of identification documents, certificates, application).
After that, you pay a certain amount of money for services (the lawyer is a private individual), and you get the opportunity to send an official letter to start deregistration. We advise you to send everything with a list of attachments so as not to lose important papers. It is very dangerous that you are left without a passport for a long period after sending, so you will be under the threat of a fine (2000-5000 rubles) if you do not receive confirmation of the new registration in a timely manner.
Automatic checkout
If a citizen of the Russian Federation registers in a new place, then an automatic deregistration from the apartment can be made. Both stamps are placed at the same time: about the extract and the new registration.
Special cases
The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for specific features of discharge, based on the person’s status, characteristics of housing, circumstances, etc. There are a number of special cases that are important to know about.
How to discharge a deceased person?
Only close relatives, heirs and direct owners of the living space have the right to deregister. Before submitting an application for discharge of a deceased person (you can download it here) to the Multifunctional Center, prepare the following documents:
- statement;
- your passport;
- death certificate of the resident.
The latest certificate is issued by the Civil Registry Office. If it has already been taken by close relatives who are not related to your property (where the deceased was registered), you have every right to contact the registry office and receive a photocopy of the death certificate.
To do this, take with you a house register or other papers proving that this person is registered in your property. An alternative option is to ask his relatives to take a copy.
If a person goes missing, the decision to remove him from registration is made by the court.
Discharge of a minor through the MFC
Based on the Decree of the PVS of the Russian Federation No. 14, paragraph 14 (07/02/2009), no one has the right to deregister minors (under 14 years of age) children. Even if the owner of the apartment and the child are not related.
Despite this, in paragraph 1 of Art. 31 of the Housing Code contains information that if there are no blood ties between children and property owners (mother/father, brother/sister), deregistration is allowed even up to 14 years of age. But we need to provide the child with housing.
If a teenager already has a passport, he has the right to independently apply for an extract from his place of residence.
Until the age of 14, parents or legal guardians are responsible for registering children. In all cases, the Guardianship and Guardianship Service participates in the consideration of the case. If she refuses to be discharged, it becomes impossible to do this even through the court.
What is your registration?
Registration at the place of residenceRegistration at the place of stay
If there is a serious need to remove a child from registration, for example, when selling real estate, the issue is resolved through a judicial authority. To obtain a positive result, the following factors are necessary:
- It is important to provide the judge with evidence that the minor will be registered in a new place. The parents or the person who needs the child’s discharge (the apartment owner) are required to provide housing.
- The second situation is that the child has not lived in the apartment for 12 months or more, and the parent with whom he is living has a different registration.

Extract “to nowhere”
Based on the Legislation of Russia (Articles 3 and 7 of Law 5242-1), citizens are required to notify the State of movement within the country and report a new place of registration, register within a certain period of time (when deregistered from temporary registration - 3 months, permanent - 7 days ).
Otherwise, penalties will follow (Code of Administrative Legal Violations, Art. 19.15). Despite this, the Law does not indicate that a person being discharged is obliged to enter a new place of stay on the departure list, so it is quite possible to be discharged “to nowhere”.
It is unknown where through the MFC it is strictly forbidden to write out only the following persons:
- minors;
- disabled people, pensioners, dependents;
- refusers from a share in privatization, as they receive lifetime registration.
There are serious arguments for deregistration without indicating a further place of arrival:
- sale of housing by the owner (if the owner of the property is not registering);
- moving to another state;
- there is no opportunity to move into a new home (for example, due to a delay by the developer in a residential complex under construction), and the old apartment has already been sold;
- forced eviction (decision made by the court);
- imprisonment or military service (citizens are automatically registered by the state at their place of residence);
- divorce (one of the former spouses, not being the owner, has the right to leave “nowhere”).
Reasons for forced deregistration without the right to another registration:
- fictitious registration;
- deprivation of parental rights - the child remains registered, and the deprived parent is discharged;
- use of housing for purposes other than its intended purpose (commerce, brothel, breeding of domestic animals in large quantities, etc.);
- refusal to pay utilities for six months;
- intentional harm to apartment residents, neighbors and the apartment itself, if it belongs to the Municipality;
- long-term residence in another place.
In such situations, the owner must handle the extract. When submitting an application to the MFC, a court decision and other certificates, depending on the problem, must be attached.
Extract without consent
Only the owner of the property or other family members forcibly (through the court) have the right to discharge a person without his consent. The reasons for this are the same as for deregistration “to nowhere”.
How to check out of an apartment through the MFC if you have debts for housing and communal services?
Every citizen of Russia has the right to choose a place of residence (Constitution, Article 27). In Art. 153 of the Housing Code states that all residents are required to pay fees for utilities and apartments on time.
Management companies are interested in those signing up to repay the debt. On the other hand, the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation (Article 713 of July 17, 1995) does not stipulate that debt for housing and communal services is an obstacle to deregistration.
Multifunctional centers, like the passport office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, do not allow statements of utility debts. This can be done legally only under the following conditions:
- if you provide a purchase and sale agreement, which stipulates that the new owner of the property will independently pay the debts;
- at the end of the apartment rental agreement, the person is no longer responsible for it, so he cannot be forced to pay the bills;
- if you attach a divorce certificate (even when both former spouses are the owners);
- when the house is demolished by the state.
If the Multifunctional Center refuses to issue an extract for utility debts, you can request from it an official document stating the reason for the refusal, and then submit the case to the court for appeal.
Despite the fact that the Legislation does not prohibit deregistration in the presence of debt, in practice the court is often on the side of Management Companies.

How to check out while in another city or country?
If a person, while in another region or state, finds himself in a situation where he needs to stay there for permanent residence or a long period of temporary stay (marriage, new job, etc.), he can check out from his previous address remotely.
Since the original passport must have a wet stamp indicating an extract or registration, the document must be submitted to the MFC. If the person being discharged does not have the opportunity to visit the department on his own, this is done with the help of a trusted person.
What to do if you are in another city:
- Issue a power of attorney for your representative.
- Give him your passport and other documentation. This is usually done by registered mail, making sure to include a list of all the papers that are being sent.
- Apply on the Multifunctional Center website.
Your authorized representative is obliged to attach a photocopy of his passport to the general document folder.
In this case, the MFC does not issue an identification certificate, so you risk earning a fine for not having a passport in hand. It ranges from 2000 to 5000 rubles.
How to check out of an apartment remotely if you are in another country:
- Contact the appropriate MFC branch with a request to process an application from a representative, explaining that you are in a foreign country.
- Applications for deregistration, print and fill out.
- Visit the Russian Federation Embassy. Provide here your passport and a photocopy, a power of attorney for the person who will receive a stamped passport and a departure sheet for you.
- Write an application (the embassy issues a form).
- After your documents are certified, you will be given a package of papers, which you send by mail to an authorized representative.
The discharge procedure lasts about a month.
Simultaneous discharge and registration in a new place
In order not to contact the Multifunctional Center several times, you can carry out the simultaneous procedure of deregistration from your old housing and registration in a new one.
In addition to the basic documents, write an application for registration, attach a certificate of ownership or the owner’s consent to registration.
Production times and penalties
When discharged through the passport office, the process takes 3 days. In other cases, the period for checking out from the apartment will be up to 6 working days. It’s a different matter if you entrust something to someone else to do. In such a situation, it is difficult to predict how long the entire process will take, given the presence of stages for requests for additional documents, if suddenly they are needed.
The period of liability and monetary penalties for lack of registration begins 10 working days from the date of disappearance of the previous registration. The fine currently ranges from 2,000 to 3,000 rubles, according to the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. For the capital and St. Petersburg - up to 5,000 rubles. Liability in the amount of 7,000 rubles is also provided for the owners of the premises in which such a tenant lives.
Extract "to nowhere"
Such a decision entails a lot of problems, ranging from fines reaching several thousand rubles to other inconveniences when using state infrastructure. After all, registration is needed, in particular, to receive a number of medical services. However, if you firmly and consciously decided to do this (for example, you decided to sell your home, or are leaving for permanent residence abroad), then it is quite possible to check out “to nowhere.” Moreover, this is also possible with the third-party desire of the homeowner. An exception is close relatives who previously refused privatization in favor of the owner of the apartment, while retaining the right to use.

Important! Children cannot be discharged this way; authorities require registration immediately. At the same time, there are a number of requirements (the area of the new premises, for example).
Is it possible to check out and register in an apartment at the MFC?
State policy in the field of migration regulates the registration of residents within Russia. Regulatory provisions on the issue are enshrined in Law No. 5242-I (as amended on April 3, 2017), as well as in Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated December 31, 2017 N 984.
At the same time, citizens can use not one, but several options for registration and registration:
- by contacting the department of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
- through the MFC “My Documents”;
- on the State Services website.
Multifunctional centers (MFCs) deserve special consideration. Employees of the “My Documents” branches provide a variety of government services – from deregistration to complaints to utility companies.
What is MFC?
The “My Documents” department (formerly MFC) acts as an intermediary between citizens and state (municipal) bodies. For example, if you have a long way to go to the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or you don’t want to stand in line, you can visit the MFC and apply for registration in an apartment. Intermediary services do not require any payment - everything is free. However, if the application is filled out for you, you will have to pay for this service.
The principle of operation of the MFC “My Documents” is to receive and transfer documents for registration to the head office of the Main Office of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Typically, such services have an electronic queue. After visiting an intermediary organization, you receive a ticket to make an appointment with a specialist. After waiting your turn, you need to go to a free “window” with a registrar. Next, all that remains is to fill out an application and submit documents for registration and registration in the apartment. Everything happens in a matter of minutes, there are almost no queues.
Advantages of using “My Documents”:
- convenient reception schedule (from 8:00 am to 20:00 pm);
- no queues (electronic registration, wait is no more than 15 minutes);
- registration in a “one window” (no need to wait for the right specialist);
- consultations on housing issues.
But it is important to understand that the intermediary organization is not a migration authority in its pure form. Not all MFCs have the authority to issue stamps (although the function was introduced in 2021). This type of work is carried out by employees of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Ready-made documents can be obtained from the “My Documents” office, where you applied for the first time.
Procedure for deregistration of minors
It all depends on how old the child is.
So, if he is already 14, he provides a passport and writes an application on his own. Before reaching this age, in order to register, a birth certificate is required; the application and submission of all papers are carried out by parents or official guardians.
If the child is adopted or is under guardianship, it will also be necessary to obtain the consent of the guardianship and trusteeship authorities. Most likely, you will be asked to register your child at the place where the move is being made.
Registration procedure at the MFC
To obtain the desired registration through the multifunctional center, a citizen will need the following.
- Find out the address and telephone number of the nearest MFC.
- Call by phone and find out what documents should be provided to carry out the procedure, and also make an appointment at a certain time.
- On the appointed day, come with the owner of the living space, taking with you a complete package of necessary documents.
Typically these include the following papers:
- statement of desire to register at a new address with the permission of the owner,
- all persons registered in a given territory must also agree (sometimes a separate document is required for this),
- papers confirming ownership or other right to dispose of housing.
When submitting an application, an MFC employee conducts a visual check of the documents, as well as the information provided in the application. If everything is entered correctly, then the documents are confiscated along with the identity card in order to subsequently put a stamp on it.
In order to check out and register at the same time or separately through the MFC, you do not need to pay anything. The procedure is completely free. The time required for this usually does not exceed eight days. But, as a rule, registration is carried out within three days.
Arriving at the MFC at the appointed time, the applicant is given an identity card with a stamp indicating the new registration, as well as the date of registration. If registration is made for a minor under 14 years of age, he is given a certificate containing registration information.
What to do if you are in another city
Unfortunately, it won’t be possible to check out of your apartment or house completely remotely. Therefore, you need to do one of two things:
- Carry out the automatic check-out procedure.
Come in person to the nearest passport office or MFC branch and submit documents for permanent registration at your new place of residence. If the housing you plan to register in is someone else’s, you will have to obtain the consent of all the owners who happen to live there officially. If it is still municipal, and you are not the closest relative (spouse, child, sibling, parent), then you will need to obtain a document from the Property Management Department. If there is a mortgage; the bank’s consent, and to carefully re-read the concluded agreement for consent regarding the newly acquired tenants. When starting this procedure, the specialists involved in your case send requests themselves; you only need to bring the certificates discussed above (bank consent or consent of the Property Management Department). For other options, these certificates are not needed. - The second way is to simply sign out “to nowhere” using a power of attorney, without registration in the place where you are.
This process completely repeats the registration by power of attorney. You notarize all the papers and send them to your representative at your previous place of residence. Don't forget copies of your passports. It is worth understanding that they cannot refuse you, even citing the location or remoteness of the region. If a refusal occurs, take written notice of this and go to court in the same area. But the reluctance of the FMS to cooperate is quite common, since many fraud schemes are based precisely on such submission of a request for deregistration. It is better to clarify the percentage of probability of documents being accepted and how to register while in another city by calling the MFC hotline in advance.
Terms and costs for deregistration
How many days deregistration will take depends on the method of filing the application. If you apply in person to the MFC with a full package of documents, the application is processed in about three days (do not forget that it may also take 2-3 days to send documents from the multifunctional center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and back). If a person applies through a trusted person, this period may take up to two months.
The extract service is free, but if a citizen wants to resort to this procedure by proxy through his representative, he will have to pay for the services of a notary to certify it.
While the application for issuance of the appeal is being considered, the passport is confiscated and a temporary certificate is given. The center staff will tell you when to come for the document, which will have a discharge stamp.
How to check out of an apartment remotely if you are in another country
In this case, the list of necessary documents and actions is as follows:
- You should check with your Federal Migration Service whether they are ready to process such an application from a representative.
- You will need to come to the Russian Embassy in person. And provide a notarized power of attorney for the person who will issue the extract for you. An original and a copy of the applicant's passport will be required.
- You write an application (in the form) and have it certified.
- You mail everything you received.
- You wait about a month.
- You receive the documents back by mail with the coveted stamp.
How to discharge a person if he has died
You can do this if you are a relative (close), owner or heir. To extract the deceased from the apartment, you will also have to collect the following documents:
- death certificate (receive from the registry office);
- your passport or a document replacing it;
- application (an example is provided on site or can be downloaded on the Internet).

If you do not have documents confirming the fact of death, then you need to contact the registry office (if the papers are lost, you will be given a copy of them for a small fee). Next, use the procedure for discharging the deceased; a sample application to fill out will be given on site upon application. In other situations, all issues are resolved in court, also if a person goes missing.
Procedure
- First you need to select a branch of the MFC. You can choose any one.
- Collecting documentation and preparing all copies in good quality. Everything should be readable.
- You can make an appointment in advance through the official website of the State Services or come to the MFC and immediately join the electronic queue.
- Receive the application (item 3) and fill it out. To do this you will need the following information:
- Name of the registration authority.
- Applicant's passport details.
- Details of documents for the apartment.
- New residence address.
- SNILS number, if available.
- If the owner is another person, then his passport details must also be indicated.
- Date and personal signature of the applicant.
A sample application will be provided.
- Submit all documents to an MFC employee for verification. If everything is correct, he gives back some of the documents, and the passport will be taken away. You will also receive a receipt from the MFC employee stating that the application has been accepted for work.
The passport will need to be picked up at the GUMVD office after the necessary adjustments have been made there.
Discharge of a citizen without his consent (by court decision)
You need to know that you can write out a “neighbor” even without having property rights, if he:
- made a fictitious registration or committed unlawful acts when completing it (for example, forged documents);
- not recognized as having acquired the right to use the apartment (for example, by a court decision);
- joined the army (a letter from the military registration and enlistment office is considered a sufficient condition);
- the application is submitted from abroad (requires certification by the embassy);
- deprived of liberty in accordance with the procedure established by law.
In these cases, deregistration is carried out upon provision of a document confirming the fact of the event: a court order, letters or statements. However, you may not have ownership rights to the home.
The next example is when you are the owner and want to register third parties who, for some reason, are no longer satisfied with the fact of their registration on your own territory. And, if these are not children, you will have to go to the district court:
- in case of divorce (if the apartment was purchased before marriage), file a claim with divorce documents;
- in case of registration of another person after privatization of housing by you, you have the right to register him without consent;
- You can evict someone deprived of parental rights, but also through the court;
- if a person uses an apartment for other purposes (for example, not to live there, but to breed animals on an industrial scale or organize a den), then you can collect testimony from neighbors and any evidence of this fact (applications to the police, your own or witness statements) , and also take them for production;
- if a person does not pay for “utilities” for more than six months (recalculation in favor of other residents is not carried out).
You will need: a certificate of ownership, bills (paid or unpaid), other papers related to housing, a passport. It is worth understanding that the ability of an insolvent tenant to acquire a roof over his head plays a role here. If this is not possible, then the court may order to postpone the decision until such a possibility arises or oblige you to provide a new “home” for registration. In all cases, the authority for the final decision is located at the location of the disputed home.
Is it possible to check out through the MFC?
Multifunctional centers were created for the convenience of citizens, as well as to reduce the burden on government agencies, primarily the Federal Migration Service. Documents are accepted on a one-stop-shop basis, which significantly speeds up the procedure. Duplication of databases in the FMS and MFC also plays an important role. This factor eliminates delays and inaccuracies during registration.
Many citizens are interested in whether it is possible to check out of an apartment through the MFC. This procedure is performed in the centers. The applicant only needs to visit the nearest branch and take the necessary documents with him. The procedure for deregistration will be as follows:
- Finding out the work schedule of the MFC and reception by registrars.
- Collection of documents.
- Personal visit to the center to fill out an application.
- Handing over papers to the registrar.
The application form can be obtained directly from the center or downloaded and filled out in advance using the prescribed form. The registrar of the State Budgetary Institution “My Documents” retains the applicant’s passport, since it must be stamped accordingly. After a certain time, the citizen is notified of the date and time of the next visit to the MFC, during which he receives his passport and departure slip.
Important! A temporary identity card is issued instead of a passport.
The check-out procedure through the MFC allows you to avoid long queues and save time. But the waiting period will also increase slightly compared to the efficiency of services when applying directly to the FMS. Up to three working days are allotted for paperwork. There are no fees when submitting an application and the service is provided free of charge.
Is it possible to check out of an apartment with debts for housing and communal services?
If you have debt for housing and communal services, then this can be done. According to the Constitution, every citizen has the right to choose his place of residence. If you received an unlawful refusal, then:
- an official refusal should be requested (a paper with explanations of the reasons and the refusal itself);
- then appeal the decision in court.
With this option, you need to take into account that, most likely, he will also oblige you to pay off the debt, so you must immediately prepare a request for restructuring. The statute of limitations is three years.
If you have any questions, consult a lawyer
(free of charge, 24/7, 7 days a week):
- MOSCOW (extension 327)
- SAINT PETERSBURG: +7 (812) 425-66-30 (ext. 327)
- REGIONS OF THE RF (extension 327)
How much does the check-out service cost?
Many applicants are seriously interested in the question of how much the service costs, and whether there will be an overpayment if they act through a multifunctional center, and not through a FMS branch. MFC employees reassure you: even simultaneous discharge and registration for a new one will not cost you a penny, because they are included in the list of free types of professional assistance to citizens . Expenses, if they have to be incurred, will only be associated with contacting, for example, a notary.
Contacting the MFC is the most optimal way to re-register today if you are faced with such a need. Responsible employees will carry out all the necessary actions in such a way that you will not subsequently have any problems with regulatory authorities.
The absence of the need for payment and high speed will be a pleasant bonus that every person who chooses this option will appreciate.
