Changing your registration through State Services - step-by-step instructions

Registration nuances

If we are talking about your own real estate, registering in it through State Services or in another way is not a problem. There will be no restrictions, even if we are talking about a share in the premises. But if registration is carried out on someone else’s property, then the consent of the owner is required. He must give his consent to this, expressed by a statement.

If the premises have several co-owners, consent from each will be required. An exception is if we are talking about the child of one of the owners or the child of another person who is already registered in this premises.

Through State Services, you can submit an application for registration not only for yourself, but also for your child under 14 years of age. In this case, the child can be registered at the place of registration of one of his parents, regardless of whether they are the owners or not. According to Russian legislation, children under 14 years of age are registered without barriers in the same place where their parents are registered.

If we are talking about a child 14-18 years old, in this case it is no longer the parent, but he himself who submits the application for registration. That is, if a minor wants to do this through State Services, he must have his own verified account. If it is not there, then registration is issued using standard non-remote methods.

How to fill out an electronic form - step-by-step instructions

On the State Services portal, you must submit an application for the required service, then wait for a response. Only after this will you need to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In this case, the answer indicates the exact time to visit the department.

You must not be late, otherwise the service may be refused or postponed to another day. Usually they ask you to come a few days after the application is accepted.

To fill out the application, follow these instructions:

1. We register on the site, after which we confirm the account. If you already have an account, log in by entering the personal information specified earlier. If you have forgotten your password, you can recover it.
2. After you have logged into your account on the site, go to the “catalog . Then we go to “Registration of citizens”.
3. There will be 5 points presented here. Click on the line that is required. Here you can choose temporary or permanent registration by clicking on the appropriate item.
4. Choose what type of service you want to receive - electronic service or personal visit. If you specify the second option, you must select a department where you can go to receive the service. You need to choose the agency that is closest to your home. Here you can indicate the exact time when you can come to the appointment. In this case, filling out all documents is done directly in the office. And to draw up an application on the website, select the “Electronic service” item.
5. After the transition, a list will appear containing 4 lines. Here you choose the option you need. You can apply for the service directly for yourself, for a minor child or for an incapacitated citizen (but you must be his legal representative).
6. If you selected “I am applying for myself, I am over 18 years old,” then enter your personal information. All information entered must be accurate and fully consistent with official documents. Some information will appear automatically because it is copied from your account. Double-check it several times to make sure there are no errors. Otherwise, if something is wrong, the service may be refused. Therefore, you will have to register again and wait for the required date to go to the department. If you make an application for another person through your account, all information must be specified again. Usually they require you to indicate your passport number and some other data that is contained on the double page of the document, next to the photograph.
7. The next question is whether there is permanent registration. Choose the appropriate answer - “Yes” or “No”.
8. Enter the address to obtain or change your registration. Just enter the city and street name. The portal itself will suggest the address format. If anything is entered incorrectly, an error will be thrown and a sample will be shown. Please indicate the exact address where you would like to register.
9. Then another question appears - “Is registration carried out on your property?” Again, choose the correct answer - “Yes” or “No”.
10. A new column “Disposition of premises on the basis” appears. Many people do not understand what to write here. In this column you need to indicate the documents on the basis of which a person has the right to property. You must enter the number, series, and date of receipt of the title deed. This column is for those who are the direct owner of real estate. Currently, an extract from the State Register is not issued. Therefore, select the “Other” item. Here we indicate data from the Unified State Register of Real Estate. All the necessary information is at the top of the document. By the way, you can order the Unified State Register absolutely free, also through the government services portal.
11. If a person is not the direct owner of the property, he must indicate a document that verifies the identity of the owner, as well as contact information for communicating with him. The documents are also indicated here - the basis for the property and who the owner of the property is (choose - husband, wife, etc.). Attention! When you need to register a person who is not related to you, you need to select “other” and write who he is to you - friend, girlfriend, etc.
12. Then another question appears, which sounds like this: “Do you have/were the citizenship of another state?” Here you need to answer “Yes” or “No”. There is no need to indicate the date of acquisition of citizenship of another country, because there is no such information in the passport.
13. Next, we proceed to filling out personal data. Here indicate the reasons for changing your registration, place of work, education and other information.
14. At the end, click on the “Select department” item, where you need to select the department in which the service will be provided in the future.
15. After this, all that remains is to submit the application.

You need to wait for a response-notification, which will indicate when to visit the department.

If we are talking about a child who is not yet 14 years old, the parent can apply for registration for him through the government services portal. If registration is carried out at the place of registration of one of the parents, the consent of the owners is not required.

In this case, at the very first stage of submitting an online application, the citizen immediately indicates that he is submitting an application for his (or supervised) child under 14 years of age and then notes the degree of relationship. After the system automatically enters the applicant’s data, a field opens below for specifying the child’s data. The parent indicates his contacts:

The rest of the form fields are standard. You must indicate the address of the previous registration, if there was one, whether the child was deregistered, whether he is registered in the territory where the parent is registered, etc.
