Current laws on the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation

Everyone is well aware that the law of the Russian Federation obliges its citizens, starting from the age of 14, to obtain a general passport. This document is essentially the main identification document of its owner. We all know very well what this document looks like, but not all of us looked beyond the second spread, and it was completely in vain. It would be quite useful to know which pages of the passport are at our disposal and what they are intended for.

Basic information in the passport

To begin with, we note that the document we are interested in is produced according to a single standard and has absolutely the same appearance in all regions of the Russian Federation. All information contained in it relates mainly to the identity of the Russian citizen to whom it belongs, which is fully consistent with the function.

It is best to begin the description of the Russian passport with information about the individual:

  1. Surname.
  2. Citizen's name.
  3. Surname.
  4. Gender (sex).
  5. Place where the passport holder was born.
  6. Date when the owner of the passport was born.

In addition to personal data, the main document of a Russian citizen contains special marks:

  1. .
  2. Military duties (for persons who have reached the age of majority).
  3. Conclusion of a marriage and its dissolution.
  4. Presence of children whose age does not exceed 14 years.
  5. About previously issued documents that can confirm identity within the Russian Federation.
  6. About documents that perform this function abroad.

At the personal request of the owner, the document may indicate his blood type and Rh factor, as well as his tax identification number.

It is important to remember that it is not allowed to make entries on the identity card that are not provided for by the Regulations on the Russian Passport: if there are such notes, the document will be considered invalid.

The validity period of the passport is strictly limited:

  • ;
  • .

A document received at age 45 becomes indefinite.

Marriage registration is not recorded in the passport

The moment when the stamp is placed is the moment of registration of the relationship in the registry office. After replacing a passport in case of a change of surname or for other reasons, a new document is issued with a ready-made imprint, which is applied to the pages with a special printer. In this case, the full name and date of birth of the spouse, the unit code of the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are indicated and the signature of the official is affixed. The presence of a stamp on the pages of the passport, along with the issued certificate, serves as official confirmation of the marriage union between a man and a woman. to contentLegislative norms The regulatory act on the basis of which a stamp is affixed in the passport on the conclusion of an official marriage union is the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 8, 1997 N 828 (as amended on November 18, 2021) “On approval of the Regulations on the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, sample form and description of the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.”

In such a situation, you should also carry documents with you that confirm the existence of a relationship. To avoid additional difficulties, you need to have an official translation of the child’s birth certificate. This can be done at the consulate of the country you plan to visit. Thus, if parents have different surnames, then the child can receive the surname of either mom or dad. If at the time of the birth of the child the mother and father are not in an officially registered marriage, then the newborn can be given the father’s surname. To do this, the father must write a statement of paternity, on the basis of which information about him will be included in the child’s birth document. If a parent does not recognize his paternity, this can be done in court, in which case the child can also receive the father's surname.

What is a passport form?

What a Russian general passport looks like is regulated by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 07/08/1997 No. 828. Later, however, some changes were made to the decree. Today, the certificate has a unified form, and information is entered into it exclusively in Russian.

The size of the Russian Federation passport is 88 by 125 cm, and the number of pages is 20. All of them are stitched along the entire fold line with a thread of two colors, equipped with a dotted backlight, which appears when viewing the document in UF radiation. In addition, 14 of the available pages contain ornamental numbering, which is duplicated in the center of the sheet in the background grid.

Serial number

Each passport has an individual serial number. It includes three groups of numbers. Of these, the first two (4 digits in total) are the series of the form. The third set of digital characters (6 digits) is its number.

The numbering in the document is applied using a special letterpress method at the top of the page under numbers 2 and 3, and since 2007 also using laser perforation at the bottom on pages 5-20. At the same time, you can see the numbers on each even sheet thanks to end-to-end burning in a mirror image.

We recommend that you understand more precisely what information this set of numbers carries and why it is needed.

Cover

The appearance of the document is also of interest. The outside of the passport is covered with dark red material. At the top of the cover there is the inscription “Russian Federation” in two lines.

In the very center you can see the golden embossed coat of arms of the Russian Federation (without a shield). Beneath it, in the same golden letters, is the word “passport.” If you open the cover, on the back you will find a photograph of the Moscow Kremlin with a typographic “rosette” design underneath it.

Purpose of passport pages

The main Russian document for internal use has a strictly established scope, and this is not at all accidental. All pages of the passport have their own purpose.

Pages 1, 2, 3 and 20

When you open the document, you will immediately see an image at the top - Russian heraldry (coat of arms) in color. Below it, in the center of the sheet, decorated with ornaments, in three lines are the words “Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.” Below them you will see a typographic “rosette”. Thus, we can say that the first page of the passport is the title page, containing only the title of the document.

On the next page, number 2, there is information:

  • inscription “Russian Federation”;
  • Below it on the left side is the phrase “Passport issued.”

After this comes the following information:

  • the date the document was issued;
  • code of the issuing unit;
  • personal code (not currently used);
  • signature.

At the bottom in the left corner there is a subscript for the signature of the head of the migration service department where the identity card was issued. Here you will also find a place for printing, marked with the letters M.P. The text on this spread is parallel to the fold line, and the line spacing is 6.5 mm.

Next comes the main page of the passport, which contains information directly about the owner of the document. It consists of two sections: the upper part is a 35 by 45 mm photo on the right and personal data (full name, date and place of birth, gender), the lower part is an area for records that are read by special equipment. In passports that were issued before 2011, this zone was not filled in. The location for the photograph is marked with corners.

To protect personal information, the home page is laminated with a film onto which a hologram is applied. If you look closely, you will see a 16-pointed star, in which the letters RF are inscribed, and a coat of arms with the word “Russia” written in the form of an arc.

In each column, between the rows, you will also see the inscriptions RUSSIA and “Russia”. You will also find an element with the letters RF in the right corner of the page at the very top. If you change the angle of viewing this circular symbol, you can see how it changes color, ranging from purple to green. Thus, pages 2 and 3 of the passport are the most important spread in the entire document.

As for page number 20, it contains information about the document itself, the so-called extract from the relevant Regulations on the Russian passport. It talks about what this document is, when it is subject to replacement and what rights and obligations its owner has.

Registration

No entries are made on page 4 of the Russian ID. But page 5 of the passport is already intended for marking registration at the place of residence of citizens. A total of 8 blank pages are provided for registration data. The symbol for these purposes is the heading “Place of Residence”.

All free space up to the 12th page can be used for registration stamps. Until 2004, photos of children under 14 years old were posted on page 12, which allowed them to travel to the Kaliningrad region without a personal passport.

Special marks

Since the identity card contains basic information about its owner, we must not forget about the special marks that must be indicated in the document. These include information about military duties.

In the passport, this data is indicated on page 13 under the heading “Military duty.” Usually this stamp is given to men who have reached the age of 18. The stamp indicates the date when it was placed in the document and the signature of the responsible person.

Marital status information

The next spread of the document is intended to mark the marriage and its dissolution, if this fact took place. The pages of the passport about marital status are numbered 14 and 15. It is quite difficult to confuse them with others, since the heading at the very top of this spread tells us this.

It is worth recalling that the passport must reflect all changes in marital status that occurred in the citizen’s life. This is especially important to consider when complying with all sorts of formalities related to other documents.

Children

Information about children is entered on a spread, which consists of pages 16 and 17. The entry in this section is made parallel to the fold. Thus, the passport in its expanded form in this part is a completely systematized source of information. At the top of page 17, in the central part, the heading “Children” is indicated. The table begins here and goes to page 16.

The table contains 18 rows and 4 columns:

  • gender of the child
  • FULL NAME,
  • date of birth of the child,
  • personal code.

The last column is currently not filled in. Sometimes a red round seal of the Main Directorate of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is placed on it, which confirms the Russian citizenship of the minor citizen. The spacing between lines is 6.6 mm.

Blood type and tax identification number

The next page - page 18 of the passport - is intended for the following marks:

  • blood type of the document owner,
  • Rh factor,
  • an identification number.

This information can also be considered personal, and therefore mandatory for inclusion in the passport.

Foreign and previously issued internal passports

No less important is information about what personal documents were issued to this citizen previously. Moreover, in this case we are talking about internal passports as well. The data is entered into a special stamp, which is placed by the migration service on page 19: the series and number of the document, the date of its issue are indicated.

Exactly the same algorithm is used to enter information about foreign passports. This information also facilitates many important procedures and formalities.

What is the length of the fields in the passport?

A description of a document will not be complete without information about how many numbers, for example, its series contains or how exactly the date of birth is recorded. For convenience, we present all this data in the table:

Print text

All entries in the passport are typewritten in Russian. The presence of marks in a document (other than those provided for by the rules) made by hand makes it invalid.

Since 2011, a machine readable entry has been made on the third page of the document. It encrypts basic information about the owner of the document. On pages 2 and 3, the number and series of the certificate are printed with printing ink. For all remaining spreads starting from 2008, they are stamped using laser perforation.

Photo

As mentioned above, space for a photograph of the owner of the document is allocated on the third page. It should be remembered that the image must be of a strictly defined size and made in accordance with all the rules. Otherwise, the photo will simply not be accepted for work, which may cause a delay in issuing the certificate.

To ensure that this detail does not become an obstacle to your most important document, carefully study which ones are put forward.

In the part of the page where the photograph should be pasted in, there are special markings. Together with all the entered data, the image must be laminated. Considering the validity period of the document, you need to pay special attention to your appearance, since you will have a long period of using the received passport.

If your photo doesn't excite you at all, learn the ins and outs.

Protection and special characters

The passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation has several degrees of protection. All of them can be divided into several groups:

LocationDescription
Paper“RF” watermarks (visible if you look at the light);
Three types of fibers. When viewed with the naked eye, red ones are visible; when viewed with UV radiation, light green and yellow ones are visible.
PagesWhen exposed to ultraviolet light, the phrase “Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation” appears on page 2, on the third – “Russia”, on pages 6,8,9, 12 – “place of residence”
The title on the title page is made using metallographic printing. You can feel the textured surface by touch.
All pages of the passport are also equipped with a relief design in the form of a grid.
All sheets are distinguished by an “iris print” - colors smoothly transition from one shade to another.
On pages 2 and 3, the lines on which information is entered are filled with microtext
On page 20, if you look at the dark stripe at an angle of 10-50 degrees, you can see the word “Russia”.
FormAlong the fold line, the document is stitched with two-color thread - red and yellow. In this case, when viewed under ultraviolet light, a yellow illumination can be seen. The distance between firmware steps is 0.5 cm
Laminating filmIn the places where it fits, images are applied with a special paint, which transfers to the paper. The so-called perimeter ligature.
SeriesCorresponds to the region encoding. In this case, each department of the Main Directorate for Migration and Migration can have its own stamp of numbers.

Features of stamps and seals

When examining your document, you may find that it contains a number of stamps on certain pages. They usually tell us the following information:

  • registration;
  • family status;
  • military duty;
  • about traveling to another country that allows border crossing on the basis of an internal passport.

The appearance of stamps may vary. Most often they have the shape of a square or rectangle. They usually have space for you to enter information manually. The prints included in the document are not always of high quality, which is due to the use of outdated equipment.

On the second page of the identity card you can find a round official seal, which is affixed by the authority that issued the document next to the signature of the head of this department of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Marriage stamp in a passport: why is it needed, is it possible to do without it, where is it placed?

A marriage stamp in a passport is a mandatory entry after the conclusion of an official marriage between citizens of the Russian Federation or a foreign country. This process is regulated by federal legislation, which contains a number of legal issues (authorized persons, deadlines).

Marriage registration stamp in passport

A marriage stamp is required. It is required as confirmation of registration with the territorial government agency.

Purpose of stamping

The purpose is to confirm the marriage between 2 people. Also, thanks to the imprint, it is allowed (bases):

  1. Change the surname (husband or wife).
  2. Exercise your rights and obligations in accordance with the RF IC.

By law, married citizens must have a similar stamp in their passport confirming their marriage and a marriage certificate (strict reporting form).

Only authorized persons from the civil registry office and the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation can put an imprint on the page of the passport.

What does it look like and what page is it on?

The general appearance of the print is regulated by Government Decree No. 828. Its size is 70 by 40 millimeters. The record contains the following legal information:

  1. Name and number of the territorial civil registry office.
  2. Full name of the citizen with whom the marriage is being concluded.
  3. Unique code and number.
  4. Registration date.

This is what the print should look like. It can be installed using hand tools (made to order when documents are provided) or by machine.

On which page of the passport the marriage stamp is placed is clearly stated in the law - section “Marital status”. Authorized persons are only permitted to use these pages for these purposes. If there are shortages, special tabs with watermarks must be pasted into the document.

Is it possible not to put a stamp?

In practice, there are rarely cases when citizens do not have a stamp in their passport confirming their marriage.

What inconvenience does this create?

According to the law of the Russian Federation, you cannot refuse to affix the obligatory stamp. There are exceptional cases in which, after official registration in the registry office, it is impossible to affix a stamp:

  1. A citizen has lost his identity document and is applying for another one.
  2. No space for imprint (glue required).
  3. if a citizen is serving time in prison.

The court allows you to put an imprint on the cover of the document or make an insert yourself in accordance with legal norms.

The procedure for affixing a stamp when registering a marriage

In Russia, a special procedure is used for affixing a marriage stamp.

Timing and cost

The imprint is affixed immediately after signing the documents at the registry office (marriage or divorce). If at this moment there was no opportunity for these actions, then the stamp is placed immediately after any opportunity for this appears.

When receiving a new passport, the deadline lasts from 10 working days. Often no more than 30 days after submitting documents.

There is no charge for stamping. Citizens pay only the amount of the state fee (for marriage or divorce).

Required documents

To affix a stamp, you only need a passport (for the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation, a marriage or divorce certificate is also required).

The law allows the submission of an application and additional papers through the MFC.

Features of the procedure

The law also spells out legal situations in which difficulties may arise.

Placing a stamp in another city

If a citizen is in another city during the marriage or divorce procedure, then it is necessary to solve the problem at the place of his actual location. A man or woman needs to contact the nearest registry office.

Authorized employees do not have the right to send a citizen to another city or region for such a purpose.

What to do if the marriage was not registered in the Russian Federation

If the marriage or divorce was not registered in the Russian Federation, then the imprint remains of the state where the procedure was carried out. If for some reason there is no stamp in the passport, then the Russian government body does not have the right to perform such actions. The citizen will need to contact the embassy of the country in which the mistakes were made.

If a marriage or divorce takes place with a foreign citizen on the territory of the Russian Federation, then Russian norms apply.

If there is not enough space in your passport for a marriage stamp

If there is no free space for an imprint, authorized employees are required to use strict reporting forms (inserts). Otherwise, there may be legal consequences - penalties.

Citizens of Russia have the right to appeal any action or inaction of authorized persons of a government body or institution. There are also procedural stages such as appeal and cassation in court.

Algorithm of actions when obtaining and replacing a civil passport

The Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for issuing personal identification cards for initial and repeated applications. . This case is the only one when it is necessary to submit an application only in personal presence at the Migration Office. In all other situations, interaction with this body or is allowed. It is at the age of 14 that a passport becomes the main identification document.

Read in more detail about what rights and responsibilities the Russians have.

The basis for replacing the document are:

  • the citizen reaches the age of 20;
  • reaching the age of 45 years;
  • loss, damage or;
  • replacement of personal information.
  • error detection.

The procedure for obtaining a new identity card is extremely simple. To do this, you only need to prepare a few documents:

  1. Statement.
  2. A copy.
  3. A passport that needs to be replaced (if it is not issued for the first time).
  4. Photo.

It should be remembered that only 30 days are allotted for this procedure. .

Our material will help you avoid misunderstandings with government agencies and comply with all requirements, telling you how it goes.

Documents for passport replacement do not have enough printing space

The law establishes both the deadlines for obtaining a new passport and penalties for delaying them. Issues of passport control were previously dealt with by the Federal Migration Service, but now it has been abolished, and its functions have been carried out by the corresponding department in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and divisions of the FMS - passport offices - have also remained.

There is no space for a stamp on the marital status page of the passport. Is it possible to apply for marriage registration and then change your passport after registration? Answer If there is no place in the passport for a marriage registration mark (stamp), it is better to replace it, although you have the right to insist on accepting the application and registering the marriage without replacing the passport. According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 8, 1997 N 828 “On approval of the Regulations on the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, a sample form and description of a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation” (with amendments and additions) 12.

What information does the insert contain?

You can often notice that some Russian passports come with an insert. Considering the fact that all passports are produced according to a single standard, namely, they have the same forms and are filled out in Russian, the question that sounds quite logical is what to do with the autonomous republics that are part of the Russian Federation?

It is for these cases that a special addition is provided, which contains information in the national language of the autonomy and an image of its coat of arms.

The appearance of the liner has a form that is established by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and local executive authorities. This form must be approved by the Heraldic Council, which functions under the Presidential Administration.

Lack of space to print marriage

Irina, no, they cannot refuse to register a marriage for this reason. They must either put a sewn-in insert into the passport, or require its replacement after registering the marriage. Moreover, marriage is confirmed by a marriage certificate, and not a stamp in the passport. All the best!

We recommend reading: What are the best residential areas in Moscow?

Judicial practice recognizes that the presence of a mark on marriage registration on the cover of a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation or on another page does not indicate the invalidity of such a passport, since, by virtue of clause 6. of the Regulations, the invalidity of a passport entails only the entry of information, marks or entries, not provided for by these Regulations.

Electronic passport

Since 2015, the Russian Federation has been implementing a program to replace conventional paper passports with new electronic ID cards. Such a document looks like an ordinary plastic card with an electronic chip embedded in it. It contains all the information that can only be read using special equipment.

The front side of the card contains personal information about the citizen and his photo. But the electronic chip allows you to record information about other documents - driver’s license, and others. This makes it possible to use the new type of card as a universal ID, which can replace almost the entire set of papers that Russians own.

We suggest you take a closer look at what opportunities a plastic ID card opens up and how to apply for it.

Is it possible to register a marriage if there is no space for a stamp in the passport?

If there is no place in the passport for a marriage registration mark (stamp), it is better to replace it, although you have the right to insist on accepting the application and registering the marriage without replacing the passport. According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 8, 1997 N 828 “On approval of the Regulations on the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, a sample form and description of a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation” (with amendments and additions)

Hello. Please tell me, there is no place in the passport for a stamp confirming marriage (there have been two marriages and two divorces). Tell me, when registering a marriage, the passport is valid, or can I not put a stamp, or can they put it on another page? Thank you.

In what cases does a passport become invalid?

The most unpleasant thing that can happen to a passport holder is a situation when his document is declared invalid due to illegal acquisition of Russian citizenship. In this case, the violator may not only lose his acquired civil status, but also be deported from Russia.

Other reasons why a personal ID may be delegitimized include:

  • The end of the period allotted for the exchange of a document (upon reaching the ages of 20 and 45 years).
  • Change of personal data.
  • Change in appearance as a result of plastic surgery.
  • Damage to the form.
  • Errors in information and in their writing.
  • Inability to read information.
  • The presence of records that are not provided for by the regulations.
  • Missing pages.
  • Visible mechanical damage.

We recommend that you find out in more detail.

As for erroneous information, it is most often entered into the document due to the fault of employees of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is for this reason that immediately after receiving the document, you must carefully study it for errors. If any inaccuracies are found, the passport must be replaced again.

Penalties

If for some reason your passport is no longer valid, it means that you simply don’t have one. This state of affairs falls under Article 19.15 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Violations.

In other words, a Russian citizen who lives without an identity card will face a fine as soon as the 30-day period allotted for replacement expires. Today, the fine is 2-3 thousand rubles, and for residents of Moscow, St. Petersburg and the corresponding regions - 3-5 thousand.

And don’t forget that you have exactly 60 days to pay the fine. If the funds do not reach the treasury during this period, you will face a new sanction for failure to fulfill obligations to the state.

As a penalty, a monetary penalty in the amount of two times the first amount, or community service for 50 hours, or arrest for up to 15 days, can be applied. In a word, it is cheaper and more profitable to comply with the laws.

Everything you need to know about the marriage stamp in your passport: where is it placed and what does the stamp look like?

Official registration of a relationship between a man and a woman implies not only the issuance of a certificate, but also the affixing of a special mark - a stamp in the marriage passport. The transfer of an identity document for this procedure is a prerequisite for creating a legal family.

Mandatory or not?

Many believe that in Russian legislation there is no mention anywhere of the obligation to affix a marriage stamp in the passport. However, this is not the case.

In accordance with paragraph 5 of the Regulations on the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, marks on registration and divorce must be affixed to the passport by the civil registry office and territorial divisions of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The need for a mark is also mentioned in the decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation.

In this regard, it is impossible to refuse to affix a seal on legal grounds. Despite the fact that no liability has been established for the lack of a stamp, the existing regulations for registering marriage relations cannot be ignored.

However, there are also objective reasons for which it is impossible to stamp:

  • lack of space for making new impressions;
  • The identity document is lost and the citizen is waiting for a new one to be issued.

Despite such situations, registry office employees must accept the application for marriage registration. The decision not to affix a stamp is made by the head of a particular department. In practice, there are refusals to accept applications, which are then appealed by future spouses in court.

The law provides for the use of special inserts sewn into the passport, as well as affixing a stamp on the cover of the document. Some citizens try to hide the fact of marriage by not affixing a stamp. But the absence of a mark in the passport does not give the unscrupulous spouse the right to remarry, since this violates Article 14 of the RF IC.

Such registration is considered invalid. In addition, from a moral point of view, the spouse’s reluctance to put a mark indicates his unwillingness to connect his life with another person, which indicates the insincerity of his intentions to start a family.

Fraud involving the provision of false information is punishable by administrative and criminal liability. In addition, due to the lack of a stamp, difficulties may arise when applying for a loan, registering children, etc.

On which page of the passport is the marriage stamp placed?

For affixing a marriage stamp, pages in the passport numbered 14 and 15 are specially designated. This provision is regulated by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 8, 1997 No. 828.

It is not recommended to put a marriage or divorce stamp on other pages of the document intended for other marks. These pages are included in the “Marital Status” section.

The print contains the following information:

  • date of state registration of marriage or divorce;
  • spouse's full name;
  • name of the registering authority;
  • date, month and year of termination of official relations;
  • civil status act number;
  • department code.

The signature of the certifying official must be placed on the imprint. In the absence of a stamp confirming the dissolution of the previous marriage, the registry office may refuse to register a new family union.

What does it look like and what to do if there are errors in printing?

In any job, incorrect actions are allowed, including among civil registry office employees. Sometimes mistakes are made in the stamp that were not noticed by the marriage office (for example, in the spouse’s full name or wedding date).

In this case, it is necessary to make changes to the passport, adhering to a certain algorithm. First, you need to prepare a package of documents.

The legislation has established that a passport replacement is issued after submitting the following documents:

  • statement;
  • passport that needs to be replaced;
  • photographs of the applicant (two pieces measuring 3.5 x 4.5 cm);
  • papers confirming the need to replace your passport;
  • receipt of payment of the state duty (details for transferring money must be obtained from the website of the specific territorial department of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs).

Secondly, it is necessary to take the collected documents to the department of the Main Department of Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the MFC within 30 days from the moment the error was discovered. The applicant can submit the papers personally or with the help of a representative by proxy. In addition, this can be done without leaving home by using the State Services portal (it is also recommended to pay the state fee for replacing your passport).

Next, you just have to wait for the end date of document review and come to receive a new passport. As a rule, when submitting an application, the specialist draws up a receipt and indicates the date of provision of the finished document.

How long does it take to register in a passport?

The law “On the right of citizens of the Russian Federation to freedom of movement...” strictly specifies the time during which entries must be completed. How long does it take to register? In Art. 5, 6 of the law on the right of citizens to freedom of movement states that the state body must register at the place of residence or stay within 3 days from the moment it receives documents from the citizen. List of documents:

  • passport;
  • statement;
  • a document that is the basis for moving into housing.

In some cases, when it becomes necessary to send a request to government authorities to confirm information about the right to use residential premises, this period can be extended to 8 days.

The accounting authorities have the right to seize the passport in order to put the appropriate mark on it, but at the time of registration they must issue a certificate stating that the original document was seized for such and such actions.

Now you know how long it takes for a citizen’s passport to be taken away in order to fill out the registration page.

Is it necessary to mark the registration address at the place of residence and why?


According to Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 232 of 03/13/1997, the main document has a certain approved form, into which all information about the citizen is entered in the prescribed manner, identifying him.
According to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 828 of 07/08/1997, every person, if he is a citizen of the Russian Federation and lives on the territory of Russia, is required to have an identity document, and also a child over 14 years of age must receive his own, new passport. The document must include registration of place of residence. There are two registration methods:

  1. permanent (at place of residence);
  2. temporary (at the place of stay).

The first method of registration is recorded directly in the main document of the Russian. That is why you should not worry if your passport is taken away, because... During the registration process, it is confiscated by the Federal Migration Service.

Registration at the place of residence is issued to a citizen who changes his location for a period of more than 90 days. In this case, the main place of registration remains with him, and for temporary registration a certificate is issued, issued by the FMS authorities within 3 days.

Information about the place of residence in the passport is required when providing public services:

  • upon receipt or exchange of the main document;
  • during the execution of any real estate transactions;
  • when registering a marriage at the registry office;
  • when applying for a job;
  • during registration or deregistration at the military registration and enlistment office;
  • when opening an account in any bank;
  • when applying for a loan.

Only with registration a citizen will be able to receive any of the above services.

What are the dimensions of a passport?

The forms of both international passports are filled out in typewritten form and according to a single template established by international document flow standards. Secure printing forms have an approved size: 88 mm x 125 mm.

Nominal dimensions and tolerances of the form:

  • 87.25 x 124.25 mm - internal perimeter;
  • 88.75 x 125.75 mm - outer perimeter.

In addition to the title, a 2 mm deviation from the edge of the page is required and this field should not be filled in. The rules allow a slight increase in the size of forms above 88 mm for ease of stapling.

Registration and discharge procedure

The process will not take much time. The personal presence of the person being registered and the owner of the property is required.

What to do when changing your place of residence registration

A person is required to contact one of the government agencies and write an application for registration in a new place. Such institutions may be;

  • Migration Service;
  • housing and communal services passport office;
  • MFC;
  • State Services portal.

How to change your registration through State Services

State Services is a portal that allows you to get almost any certificate online. However, the registration procedure at the place of residence requires personal submission of documents, and it cannot be completed online.

On the website you can make an appointment, fill out an application, and upload copies of documents to be checked. Before changing your registration at a new place of residence on State Services, you must:

  1. Create an account.
  2. Choose .
  3. Fill out an electronic application and enter the details of all necessary documents.
  4. Submit your application and wait for it to be verified. In a few days you will receive an invitation to visit the department of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
  5. Arrive at the appointed time and bring the original documents with you so that the employees can verify the data with those specified in the electronic application.
  6. Get a registration stamp in your passport.

How to change your registration through the MFC

To do this you need:

  1. Make an appointment at a convenient date and time at the nearest MFC by calling the hotline.
  2. Prepare a package of documents.
  3. Arrive at the appointed time. If for some reason this turns out to be impossible, you can take a ticket from the administrator and stand in line.

The advantage of registering at the MFC is the speed of service. It takes an average of 15 minutes to receive documents from one applicant. After this, the citizen will be given a receipt indicating that his documents were accepted. It will also indicate the deadline for completing the procedure.

Important! The registration procedure at the MFC requires the presence of two parties at the reception: the owner of the property and the person being registered.

Registration and discharge through the housing and communal services passport office

To obtain registration at a new place of residence or to leave an old apartment, you can contact the housing and communal services passport office.

The owner of the property and the person who wants to register there must be present during the procedure. If there are several owners, their presence or written consent is required. The application is filled out by the person being registered, and the owner must provide documents for the apartment.

The citizen leaves his passport for a period of 3 to 8 working days. The document will be stamped with registration.

The discharge procedure is extremely simple. You just need to come to the passport office and express your desire to be deregistered. In a few days, a stamp indicating deregistration will be placed in your passport. You can forcefully expel a person from an apartment or house only by going to court.

Required documents for registration

You will need to provide:

  • passport;
  • application of the established form;
  • a statement from the owner of the living space, where he expresses his consent to registration;
  • consent of all residents of the apartment/house;
  • documents confirming ownership or rental (extract from the Unified State Register, house register, lease agreement).

What do they give in return for a passport?

When an employee takes a citizen’s passport, he writes a receipt confirming the seizure of the original. It must be carried with you, and it is better to refrain from visiting financial institutions and not make serious transactions or purchases on credit.

Reference. The registration procedure may take a long time. Then, instead of a passport, the citizen is given a temporary identity card with a photo pasted in. Validity period: 1 month.

How much does it cost to change your registration

All services related to registration are provided to citizens free of charge. But additional services may be required from institutional staff, for example, assistance in filling out an application or other actions. They are available for a fee.

How much do they sign out of an apartment at the passport office?

One desire to deregister is enough. The presence of the homeowner and his consent are not required. The officer will ask where the person will live. Although this information is considered mandatory, it is not verified.

When a person gives his address, he is removed from the register. After 3 days, he will receive a departure slip, which must be presented at the new place of registration.

How to find out if registration is ready in your passport, at the MFC or passport office

When submitting documents to the MFC, the citizen will be given a receipt indicating the application number. Using it on the official website of the state institution you can find out whether registration is ready. The service is available around the clock.

Reference. If, after entering the request number, the site redirects to the “Unified hotline telephone” page, you can contact an employee. The call is free.

If there is no Internet, you can call the MFC hotline at 88 005 505 030. Employees provide information about the readiness of documents.

Is it possible to register a person without his presence with his passport?

You can register a person without his presence if you have a notarized power of attorney. Many departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs require the presence of both parties: both the owner of the apartment and the person registered in it.

If the person who is registered is absent, the owner of the apartment comes with a power of attorney, his passport and a certificate of ownership. He fills out the application himself and leaves the passport of the person being registered. The document will be stamped with registration.

Is your passport taken away during temporary registration?

When applying for temporary registration, registration at the main place of residence is not canceled. The citizen will have to give the original passport to the registrar for a certain time.

Do they put a stamp in the passport during temporary registration?

During temporary registration, no marks are placed in the passport. The citizen is issued a certificate at the place of residence. This document is of no value; it is valid only with the passport to which it is attached.

Distinctive features of permanent and temporary registration

Registration at the place of stay (temporary registration) or residence (permanent registration) actually differs from temporary or permanent registration only in terminology. The word propiska is used in everyday life, while the concept of registration is enshrined in law.

Registration is an outdated concept, which has been replaced by the legal term “registration”. Permanent and temporary registration, what is the difference and which form is safer to use in individual cases is a question that has received comprehensive legislative justification in the Law “On the Right to Free Movement of Citizens...”, the Housing Code of the Russian Federation and the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

The legislation clearly defines the difference between temporary registration and permanent registration.

ConstantIndefinitePayments are increasingVoluntarily or through courtStamp in the passport

Temporary registration is clearly represented by a certificate form. It is received for a certain period of time. This document needs to be renewed. Why temporary registration is needed, we tell you here.

Permanent registration – residence at the address stamped in the passport. Acquiring the status of a permanently registered person gives a citizen certain privileges and rights:

  • the opportunity to qualify for participation in privatization in the case of municipal housing;
  • express your consent or unwillingness to register other citizens in the apartment;
  • register close relatives at your address.

Such consequences are in most cases undesirable for the owner.

Without permanent registration, you will not be able to receive benefits from the state, get on the waiting list for kindergarten, etc. Also, all certificates are issued at the place of registration.

Temporary registration - purchasing an insert sheet, defining the initial date of entry and the deadline for temporary registration. This form of registration provides only the right to reside, therefore it is the safest for apartment owners and incurs less time spent completing the deregistration procedure. There are no grounds for refusing temporary registration at the place of residence if a full package of documents is submitted. You can read where to check out of your apartment in our article.

In order to register temporarily, you do not need to deregister at your permanent place of residence. A citizen has the right to simultaneously have registration at the place of residence and registration at the place of stay.

Such consequences are in most cases undesirable for the owner.

What is registration?

For a Soviet person, registration was a determination of his civil status. For example, for residents of the capital, registration provided social advantages, so everyone without exception wanted to become Muscovites. The state dealt with issues of registration of citizens; it reserved the right to approve or refuse the application.

If we take Moscow as an example, registration was given to nonresident citizens along with work experience. To become a Muscovite, a person had to work a certain number of years in a low-paid position. This was considered the norm at that time.

It is worth noting that for village residents, for a long time, registration and passport were generally an empty phrase. Until 1974, villagers moved around the country on the basis of documents issued by the village council.

When changing residence, a person was required to register in a new apartment. Temporary residence was considered illegal and punishable by internal affairs bodies.

Ways to Apply

The main way to declare your intention to register is to appear in person at one of the organizations. If we are talking about a minor child, then his official representative - a parent or guardian - must deal with the registration of his registration. In addition, it is possible to send documents to the Migration Service by mail or via the Internet portal.

How to register?

According to the latest innovations, during the registration process at a new address, the previous registration is automatically canceled. Therefore, a citizen needs to contact the authorized migration departments

(OVM) related to the territorial divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to change the current place of registration.

You can apply to change registration yourself if you are a homeowner, or use the services of third parties

if the property is rented. These may include:

  • housing department employees;
  • authorized persons of housing cooperatives, homeowners' associations, residential complexes or representatives of the management organization;
  • MFC employees;
  • home owner.

Important! Submitting documents and obtaining registration is a free service

. Hiring third parties to represent you may incur additional costs.

To obtain registration you need to go through 3 not very difficult steps:

How much does it cost to register at your place of residence?

Registration at the place of residence for citizens of the Russian Federation is free of charge.

The fastest way to obtain registration is to submit documents online through the State Services portal. If you have a verified account, the application process will take no more than 10 minutes. Soon after sending the application to your personal account on the State Services portal, within 3 days you will receive an invitation to come to the department of the Main Department of Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia to submit documents.

What does temporary registration provide?

Both permanent and temporary registration have a common feature, which is that in both cases it is necessary to register a stay in a new place. Temporary registration also gives the rights to the tenant and owner of the property:

  • the right of a person to live in a rented or rented room, apartment, house or part thereof,
  • the right of homeowners to check information about tenants,
  • when applying for a temporary residence permit, no additional costs are required for removal from the previous place due to relocation,
  • the right of a citizen to have two registrations at the same time - this is especially important for young families who rent housing separately from their parents,
  • the period of temporary registration in the rented premises terminates as soon as the lease agreement expires,
  • Having registered a non-permanent registration, a person reduces the payment for utilities at the place of permanent registration, since the certificate confirms that he does not live there and, therefore, does not receive services,
  • Without registration, a citizen cannot submit to the housing office a certificate of residence at another address and payment recalculation does not occur,
  • Registration at a non-permanent place of residence protects a person from regular fines for violating the law,
  • deregistration occurs automatically, so there is no need to waste your time applying there.

Non-permanent registration is issued both by those who come from abroad and by those who are in their own country and do not live in the place of permanent registration. The law determines the period for registration of non-permanent registration within 90 days , after which a person from another country is obliged to register for migration at the place where he plans to stay in the next period. In addition, other reasons require citizens to register temporarily:

  • the sale of living space and the purchase of new housing requires deregistration and registration at a new address at the purchased address,
  • stay on long business trips is also documented in a temporary register,
  • arrival in another city, village for long-term treatment in a hospital or outpatient setting,
  • moving for personal reasons, which involves long-term residence at a different address,
  • non-permanent registration is done by students, tourists, long-term residents of hostels or hotels.
  • the sale of living space and the purchase of new housing requires deregistration and registration at a new address at the purchased address,
  • stay on long business trips is also documented in a temporary register,
  • arrival in another city, village for long-term treatment in a hospital or outpatient setting,
  • moving for personal reasons, which involves long-term residence at a different address,
  • non-permanent registration is done by students, tourists, long-term residents of hostels or hotels.

Is it possible to buy an apartment?

You can buy an apartment and then register ownership without registration. This is regulated by clause 4 of Art. 16 Federal Law “On state registration of rights to real estate and transactions with it.”

Having sold an apartment and checked out of it, a citizen must register again. If he does not yet have a permanent place of residence, he needs to obtain a temporary registration. The law allows 90 days for this.

Expired registration

Permanent registration has no expiration date. It is issued once and is valid until the person changes his place of residence. Temporary registration is not displayed in the passport in any way, but it will have to be renewed or registered at a specific address on a permanent basis. Otherwise, as we have already found out, you will have to pay a fine. In case of a long, but still temporary stay of a person in another locality, a certificate of temporary registration is issued.

Is a civil passport valid without “registration” in the Russian Federation? The validity of the identity document is not affected by registration. It remains valid even without it. However, living without registration is illegal and punishable by law. If required, how to change the “registration” in the passport? You should contact the migration department at your location with an application. It is important to remember that your passport will be taken away during the check.

  • the interested person is registered in the same locality where he lives. Even if in fact a citizen does not live at the registration address, but within the same locality, he will not face a fine;
  • the person is registered in Moscow or the region and lives within the specified territory, but at a different address. The situation is similar with St. Petersburg and Sevastopol;
  • in the presence of closely related or marital relations (children, grandmothers, spouses) with a person registered at the place of location.

What does a stamp with the registration address look like in a passport, template

Registration in a passport is a rectangular stamp that takes up a little less than half the page. At the very top, “REGISTERED” is printed in capital letters. The date of registration is indicated below. Several lines are reserved for the full registration address.

Below it is the name of the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that registered the citizen. Below is the department code and the signature of the person who certified the procedure.

State Services is a portal that allows you to get almost any certificate online. However, the registration procedure at the place of residence requires personal submission of documents, and it cannot be completed online.

Registration mark

After registration at the place of residence, that is, permanent registration, is completed, you need to make a special mark on the fifth page of the passport , the so-called registration stamp. This piece of paper in the document is called the place of residence.

It must be stamped with the note “registered”. The address of the citizen’s place of residence, the date of registration (when he registered), the name of the region, locality, and the name of the FMS branch are given.

How to change your registration in your passport? Upon discharge, a note is made that the person has been deregistered and registered (or not) at a new place of residence.

Sometimes citizens are required to obtain a registration certificate. How to do this, why you need it and how to get it, read here.

Temporary registration is not reflected in personal documents. A special insert is issued - a certificate of temporary registration. It is supposed to be carried along with personal documents.

When do you mark it?


Do you need registration in your passport?
All registration procedures for both types of registrations are regulated by the same legislative act - Order of the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation dated September 11, 2012 N 288, which approved the Administrative Regulations for the provision of accounting services by the Federal Migration Service. However, some services relate to changes in the main identity document , while others do not.

  1. When registering at your place of residence : clause 18 Admin. The regulations state that the result of permanent registration for adult citizens is the imprint of a special stamp in the passport.
  2. When registering at your place of stay : in paragraph 56 Admin. The regulations indicate that temporary registration does not require the cancellation of permanent registration, that is, the stamp in a person’s passport remains for the entire period of his absence from home. Having successfully completed the accounting procedures at the point of non-permanent location, on the basis of clause 18 of the Admin. regulations, he will receive as a result a certificate of registration at the place of residence.

If the information is incorrect or entered with errors

As you know, an identity document with corrections, errors or incorrect data is invalid. Therefore, if the registration information was entered incorrectly by an employee, then under no circumstances should you correct it yourself. To do this, you should immediately go to the migration service department with an application for a replacement.

Registration in a passport at the place of residence or stay is necessary in both cases. It's important to do it. Properly executed documents provide a citizen with many rights, and also relieve them of legal penalties in the form of fines. In this connection, the accounting procedure must always be carried out in a timely manner and in compliance with all rules and laws.

What to do if an error is detected?


What to do if the information in the stamp is incorrect or entered with errors ?

If an employee made a mistake and entered passport data into the stamp that does not correspond to reality , then you should immediately go to the Federal Migration Service with an application to replace the passport, since corrections in this main identity card are unacceptable .

To reduce problems, you should check all pages and all entries for correctness: migration officials are overloaded, so it is likely that the “human” factor , and a tired person, in exceptional cases, may make a mistake.

A discovered inaccuracy will cost no money if you write in the application that the reason for the replacement is a technical error, although it is clear that the paper was not damaged by the citizen himself.

After this, the information is entered into a new copy of the identity card.

The preparation of papers and especially the making of marks in the original documents require great attention and scrupulousness . Before you sign for your main papers, you need to check that everything is correct.

Since permanent registration is usually valid for many years and even decades, this registration procedure must be completed in a timely manner , in compliance with all laws and regulations. Only correctly executed documents make it possible to fully enjoy the rights of a citizen of the Russian Federation .

A passport is considered the main document confirming the identity of a citizen of the Russian Federation. Everyone over 14 years old should have it.

All basic information is entered into it: full name, place and date of birth, gender, registration, marriage registration data, military service record, children. Some of this data is optional and is recorded only if, for example, the citizen has children or is married. The other part is considered mandatory. Such data includes information about registration (registration).

Is a document valid without a stamp in the Russian Federation?


A passport that does not contain registration is considered valid. Legally, all civil rights and freedoms remain assigned to a person even in the absence of a registration mark in the main document. But in practice , a person who has a passport without registration will be limited in the provision of certain social benefits :

  • registration of a policy for free medical care;
  • receiving SNILS;
  • receiving benefits and subsidies;
  • enrollment of a child in a childcare center or school.

A citizen may have a passport without registration if he left one place of residence, but did not have time to register for another.

Important! A citizen who does not have a registration record in his passport beyond the established period is subject to penalties. For residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg, the fine is according to

Code of Administrative Offenses Article 19.15.1

from 3 to 5 thousand rubles, for other Russians - from 2 to 3 thousand rubles.
