To register at a new address, you must check out from your previous place of residence. There are several options for checking out of an apartment:
- Public Services Portal;
- Passport Office;
- MFC.
The discharge procedure through the MFC is simple and convenient:
- Statement period is up to three working days; the period can be extended to a maximum of seven days, taking into account the delivery of documents;
- The service is provided free of charge;
- Minimum package of documents: passport, application, consent of the guardianship and trusteeship authorities upon discharge of minor children;
- Minimum probability of failure. Exception: errors in the application, lack of a new address for a minor.
Description of the process of checking out of an apartment through the MFC
Let's take a closer look at the algorithm for checking out of an apartment through the MFC.
MFC is an aggregated complex for providing services to the population. When choosing this method of receiving services, you should not be afraid of confusion with documents and information, since the database provided by the migration service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is uniform.
You can submit documents in person or by proxy. If the previous address and the new place of residence are located within the same municipality, the process of deregistration and new registration can be carried out simultaneously within one window.
Receiving documents takes about 15 minutes, processing the application takes no more than three working days. Sometimes it takes an additional two to three days to send documents from the MFC to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and back. During the period of consideration of the application, the citizen’s passport is confiscated and returned with a stamp indicating deregistration. In addition to a passport with a stamp, a citizen deregistered receives a departure slip.
Registration deadlines and costs
Documents for permanent registration of a citizen, regardless of age, must be submitted within 7 days. Temporary registration is required only when a person stays for more than 90 days. The standard procedure takes from 3 days . The final deadline depends on additional nuances.
When submitting documents through the multifunctional center, as well as in case of errors in the papers, the period is extended to 7–8 days . If the applicant is simultaneously discharged from the old address and registered at a new place of residence in the same locality, then the time it takes to register at the MFC reaches 10–14 days . If the procedure is performed in two different cities, then citizens have to wait a few days longer.
Reference! When an applicant goes to court to appeal the refusal to provide registration, the procedure is delayed for up to 3–4 months.
Despite the fact that most of these services for citizens are provided only after payment of the state fee, registration is not subject to it. Therefore, all citizens of the Russian Federation have the right to register absolutely free of charge . All costs may be associated with additional paperwork and notary services.
An exception is also made for the registration procedure for foreigners and stateless persons - they pay a fee of 350 rubles .
Extract without subsequent registration - is it possible through the MFC?
One of the frequent questions is whether it is possible to check out of a residential premises through the MFC if there is no information about the future place of registration.
There is only one circumstance that excludes this possibility - deregistration of a minor. A child under 18 years of age may be discharged from residential premises only with a specific indication of a new address.
In all other cases, the person can be discharged “to nowhere.” However, the law imposes an obligation on citizens to register at their place of residence within seven days. Violation of this rule may result in penalties.
The law allows several exceptions to this rule. The fine for long-term absence of registration can be avoided if the following circumstances exist:
- business trip;
- inpatient hospitalization;
- sale and purchase of an apartment.
Valid reasons must be documented. You can notify the migration service about the presence of special circumstances using a waybill, a certificate from the place of work, an extract from an outpatient card, or a contract of sale of residential premises.
How to change your registration
There must be reasons for changing your registration: moving to another city, changing housing, court decision, etc. There are two options here:
- check out from your previous place and receive a departure sheet;
- automatically check out during registration at your new place of residence.
The passport office is obliged, upon application, to register a citizen at a new address, having previously written him out from the old one. Failure to perform these duties is grounds for filing a complaint.
If there is no departure sheet, the application will have to be drawn up in two parts: on registration and deregistration. You must give your passport to the official and appear on the appointed day to receive your registration document. If there is a departure sheet, registration is carried out one day in advance.
This procedure is free. Demands to pay any amounts are illegal.
Is it possible to check out of an apartment through the MFC if you have debts?
The question often arises whether the presence of arrears in utility bills is grounds for refusing an application for deregistration.
There is no such reason. When checking out from an apartment, MFC employees do not request information about debts, there is no need to confirm the absence of debts, and payment receipts are not required to be attached to the application.
If you refuse to accept an application on the basis of debt, the official’s actions can be appealed in court.
Sequencing
To register at a new place of residence through the MFC, you need:
- find out the work schedule of the nearest Center (by calling the MFC hotline or looking at the official website “My Documents”);
- make an appointment (you can also remotely by calling or via the Internet);
- collect a set of documents;
- arrive at the appointed time;
- submit an application (the sample and application form can be downloaded in advance or received and filled out directly on site at the MFC)
High-quality electronic communications have been established between the Center, the migration service, Rosreestr and city administrations for the rapid exchange of information.
Registration through the MFC will not take much of your time. The organization’s work is structured in such a way as to quickly receive visitors through a “single window”. It takes 10-15 minutes to serve one person. The employee will check the documents, take them and the original passport, and issue a receipt. The presence of the owner of the living space for which registration is taking place is mandatory. If for objective reasons he cannot appear to sign documents, for example, due to serious illness or living abroad, then he can submit a notarized consent. At the appointed time, you need to contact the same specialist to get your passport back with a stamp. This mark means that the FMS has been notified of the citizen’s location. The stamp contains information about the residential address and the date of registration.
An MFC employee does not have the right to demand a military ID. First, registration is carried out, and then the citizen goes to the military registration and enlistment office with a passport.
How to check out of an apartment while in another city or country?
Sometimes circumstances develop such that it is necessary to deregister, but there is no opportunity to submit an application in person. In this case it is necessary:
- issue a notarized power of attorney for another person;
- fill out an application in form No. 6 and have it notarized.
The authorized representative applies to the MFC with the following documents:
- Power of attorney for representation indicating the relevant powers;
- Application (form No. 6);
- Principal's passport;
- Passport of the authorized person.
What documents are needed
- application (you can fill out the form in advance, but it’s better to fill it out with an MFC employee to avoid mistakes)
- application for the consent of the owner of the apartment or other living space (
- passports (from the owner and the applicant);
- the consent of everyone who still owns this housing area, as well as everyone who lives in this territory;
- documents for property or rental (house register, extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, lease agreement).
After the employee checks the correctness of filling out the application form and accepts the documents, he will issue you a receipt, by the number of which you can track the readiness of the documents.

It indicates that your documents have been accepted and the time frame within which the procedure will be completed. The main aspect of the work here is the consent of the owner or employer, only in this case will you be able to register.
When is the discharge procedure not required?
When moving to a new place of residence (purchasing residential premises at a new address in another city), it is possible to submit documents for registration without a preliminary extract. Deregistration based on previous residence will occur automatically.
Sometimes the question arises as to why it is necessary to pre-register before a new registration. It is necessary to record the fact of deregistration when selling a home. The new owner must receive the residential premises without encumbrance in the form of the previous tenant in the apartment card. A departure slip or a house book with an extract stamp is required by banks when concluding a mortgage agreement.
Can MFC employees require additional documents, for example, information about residential premises?
There is an exhaustive list of documents required for deregistration. There is no warrant, no certificate of title, no lease agreement on this list. The specialist’s demands to provide them are illegal.
The actions of a person who refuses to accept an application, citing the lack of documents that are not on the list of required ones, can be appealed.
Features of the discharge of minors
Due to the fact that minors do not have a full opportunity to protect their rights, the state provides them with increased protection. In order to prevent abuse by other persons, guardianship authorities are involved in the process of deregistering a child.
In addition, when a child lives in an apartment with both parents, an application is required from each of them. When submitting an application, each parent presents a passport. When the child is discharged, a new address must be indicated. The guardianship and trusteeship authorities are checking the condition of the new housing. It is important that the child’s situation does not change for the worse after the change of registration.
Who fills out an application for a minor?
For a child under 14 years of age, the application is filled out and signed by his legal representative (indicating the details of the birth certificate). From the age of 14, a citizen writes an application independently, entering the details of his own passport. In this case, the legal representative of the child who has his own passport is also required to present his identity card.
Is it possible to register deregistration through temporary registration through the MFC?
Temporary registration can be completed through the multifunctional center. The question naturally arises about the possibility of terminating registration in the same way.
Temporary registration is registration at the place of temporary residence. It is issued for a specific period ranging from 3 months to 5 years. It automatically expires on the specified date. Additionally, there is no need to contact the MFC or other authorities.
Features of registration in Moscow and St. Petersburg
Moscow and St. Petersburg are the leaders in the number of migrants, which is why migration policy here differs from other settlements. Citizens who want to leave their city and move to live in the country's largest metropolises should know that the rules for migration registration here are more stringent.
There is a rule according to which it is prohibited to live in Moscow and St. Petersburg for more than 3 months without registration. Therefore, many migrants use the services of fictitious registration. However, GUVM employees regularly conduct raids, and if a fictitious registration is discovered, the violators will be held accountable. Criminal proceedings are provided for the owner and residents of so-called “rubber” apartments.
Is it possible to discharge a person through the MFC without his consent?
Registration of a person’s discharge from a residential premises without his consent is possible only by a court decision.
A special case is the discharge of a deceased person. In this case, you must contact the multifunctional center at the place where the deceased lived. The following documents are submitted for this procedure:
- statement of established standard;
- death certificate issued by the civil registry office/court decision declaring deceased;
- house register for the residential premises where the deceased lived (if the apartment/house was owned);
- certificate of family composition;
- passport of the person making the application,
- a document confirming family ties with the deceased.
A document confirming the absence of the deceased among the registered persons is:
- house book with a deregistration stamp (if the residential premises are owned);
- renegotiated social tenancy agreement.
Collection of documents
Now let’s look at what documents are needed for registration:
- consent of the owner, owner and all co-owners of the property;
- passport;
- birth certificate (for a child under 14 years old);
- marriage registration certificate;
- permission from the municipality if the apartment is not privatized;
- documents for the apartment (ownership, rental agreement, lease, etc.).
The presence of documents for the apartment is optional. The Center employee has no right to demand them. However, you should take copies. If questions arise with Rosreestr, the timing of registration will be ambiguous. The MFC will refuse registration, which will result in a fine.

How to register a newborn
If we are talking about children who are under 14 years of age, then they receive a special certificate of permanent place of registration, certificate form No. 8.
It is worth recalling that the main document in the life of a newborn is his birth certificate. Parents should be clear that after they have received the certificate, they have only 7 days to complete the registration. Otherwise, they will be required to pay a fine.
To apply for registration for a child, you need to collect the following package of documents, keep in mind that photocopies can be made on site at the MFC:
- application (can be completed in advance, or filled out together with an MFC specialist)

- original and photocopy of marriage certificate;
