However, in practice, you may encounter the fact that if a person is not registered anywhere, he will not be able to:

  • receive a compulsory medical insurance policy and use medical services for free (if you have registration in another city and, accordingly, the document was issued there, then at your new place of residence the citizen must be registered with a new clinic);
  • register children for kindergarten, school;
  • get on the waiting list to improve your living conditions;
  • apply for a mortgage, loan;
  • obtain a driver's license;
  • register an LLC or obtain individual entrepreneur status, and subsequently carry out business;
  • get married, get divorced, obtain a birth certificate for children and perform other actions related to applying to the registry office;
  • open an account with a credit institution, etc.

Important! As for refusal of employment, if a citizen is not registered anywhere, then such actions of the employer are prohibited by Art. 64 Labor Code of the Russian Federation. To protect their rights, the victim must take a written refusal and go either to the Labor Inspectorate or to court.

What to do if there is nowhere to register?

If there is nowhere to register, what should you do (Russia)? This question is relevant for those categories of people who, for objective reasons, do not have their own housing. First you need to soberly assess the situation. It is quite possible that there are relatives, even in another region, who will give you the opportunity to register in their apartment and will not leave you without housing.

registration in passport

The current legislation does not contain the term “registration”. We are talking only about temporary (at the place of stay) or permanent registration in a residential area.

If a person has nowhere to register, then he has the right to choose one of several options for living space to solve the problem:

  • hotel;
  • sanatorium;
  • pension;
  • Holiday House;
  • camping;
  • tourist base;
  • medical institution;
  • establishment of a penal system;
  • rented apartment, etc.

In the above-mentioned places, citizens have the right to receive only temporary registration. If we are talking about permanent registration, then it can be done in:

  • residential building;
  • room;
  • apartment;
  • premises of a specialized housing stock in which a citizen lives as an owner or under a social tenancy agreement, etc.

The main condition is that the premises be recognized as suitable for habitation.

So, what should a citizen of the Russian Federation do and what should he do if he has nowhere to register?

If you have a house in the village, you can always register there. Even if it is in a remote area and no one lives there. The main thing is that the house is on a land plot for individual housing construction. If we are talking about land for agricultural, industrial, etc. purposes, then the place of residence will not be subject to registration and you will need to look for another address.

Some citizens apply for registration in dilapidated housing. This does not contradict the law, however, the premises must have living conditions. The same applies to registration in emergency housing.

An alternative is registration in official housing. But for this it is necessary to obtain the permission of the employer, since in a departmental premises there may be no conditions for recognizing it as residential, or the employee may be provided with an apartment for a certain period. In this case, the registration should equal this time.

Where to turn if there is nowhere to register? Some citizens, for a certain fee, provide temporary registration services in the apartments they own. Everything is formalized, but this procedure costs more than if you buy a dacha in SNT and register in it.

If you are interested in the question: “I received a temporary residence permit, but there is nowhere to register,” then there is only one answer - you need to rent an apartment or live in a room for a temporary stay, for example, in a hotel. There is an option to require official housing from the employer.

Where to go to register?

You can apply for a temporary residence permit (registration) by contacting the migration service. Only this state body has the authority to record the location of a person on the territory of the Russian Federation.

However, in addition to a personal visit to the FMS, a citizen has the right to use the State Services portal. To do this, he needs to register or log in to his personal account, if available.

Next, go to the services page and select the tab related to registration and citizenship. In the window that appears, you need to select temporary registration and click on the button on the right about online registration.

When submitting an application, you must fill out all the required fields. If the document is accepted for processing, the applicant must wait for the service to be completed. This will be reported in your personal account.

For reference! The FMS carries out registration activities free of charge. You do not need to pay any state fees to register.

List of documents

If a citizen decides to register, he must provide the following documents to the FMS:

  • passport of the applicant and the owner of the premises;
  • written consent from other apartment owners;
  • document on the ownership of the living space;
  • family certificate;
  • if the apartment is from the employer - appropriate permission;
  • lease agreement, social lease, etc.

The registration mark is placed in the passport.

The procedure for registering citizens of the Russian Federation

Temporary registration of a citizen is carried out if he remains on the territory of the subject for more than 90 days. If we are talking about staying in holiday homes, tourist centers or other similar institutions, then he needs to contact the administration, that is, use the simplified procedure.

When a family rents an apartment, registration is carried out only with the consent of the owner of the residential premises when writing the appropriate application.

Forced migrants must first establish this fact, obtain status, and only after that submit documents for registration in the general manner.

For reference! The owner can register an unlimited number of persons in the apartment. However, when a signal is received, the migration service has the right to check whether these citizens really live there. Otherwise, the homeowner will be held accountable.

If a citizen has changed his place of residence, he must inform the FMS about this no later than 7 working days. He takes the following documents with him:

  • passport;
  • registration application;
  • paper is the basis for using the premises.

After all verification procedures have been completed, a registration stamp is placed on the identity document.

Right to housing for Russian citizens

The Constitution of the Russian Federation enshrines the right to housing for all citizens of the Russian Federation. What is this provision?

  • no one can be deprived of their living space (with the exception of situations specified in the law, for example, they were discharged from an apartment by court);
  • everyone who needs housing is provided with it free of charge or for a fixed fee from state or municipal funds.

You have been discharged and have nowhere to register - what to do?

Establish the fact of permanent residence through the court. All documents related to the case are attached as evidence, for example, a receipt for payment of utilities, a certificate from the housing department, etc. Witness testimony from neighbors, a watchman and other persons who confirm the place of residence of the plaintiff are also allowed.

In addition, you can attach a refusal to register (if there was one).

Where can I register if I don’t have my own home?

It is necessary to contact the social security authority and register with the labor exchange as an unemployed person. After a citizen finds a job, they will enter into a social tenancy agreement with him on preferential terms, and he will have a specific place of residence where he can register.

Thus, if a person has nowhere to register, he can draw up a social rent agreement if he is recognized as needy. Registration at temporary places of stay (boarding house, hospital, etc.) is also allowed. But when you are discharged, but there is nowhere to register, you need to go to court to protect your rights. You can register in an apartment only with the consent of all owners.
