• To receive various, including to receive subsidies for utility bills. In this case, information from the certificate is needed to determine the number of registered citizens and whether they are all members of the same family.

Unified form of certificate of residence and the data contained therein

Certificate of residence: sample

Like all official data, a certificate from the place of residence is issued on a special form, unified form No. 9. This form is used most often, but sometimes unified form No. 8 is also used. The difference between these two forms is that form 9 contains more complete residential information. It contains the following data:

1. Date and number, since such certificates are subject to mandatory registration;
2. The name of the institution or organization that issues this certificate;
3. The seal of the organization that issued the certificate, as well as the signature of the person responsible for its issuance, as well as for the accuracy of the information contained in it. Without these details, the authority that issued the certificate will not be valid.

Information about the dwelling and the people living in it, indicated in the certificate:

1. The address where the dwelling is located, its footage, status (room, apartment, house), number of rooms.
2. Information about the owner of the dwelling, even if he is not registered at this address, if there are several owners, then, as a rule, all are indicated, sometimes with a designation of their share of ownership.
3. Data on registered citizens at the current moment, the date of their registration. If necessary, indicate their relationship to the owner of the housing or responsible tenant, if the housing is municipal.

Data on those who were previously registered, the dates of their registration and withdrawal, as well as the reasons. Sometimes these data are not indicated, or they are indicated only for the last few years. It all depends on what you need a certificate of residence.

Sometimes a citizen may be denied a certificate, a common case for the Saami is when the House Management refuses due to existing arrears in utility bills, such actions are illegal and can be appealed in the manner prescribed by law.

How to get a certificate of residence. Terms of receipt

A certificate of residence can be obtained in several ways. The most common is to go to the passport office and get it from the passport officer personally, based on the data from the registration cards. If there is no passport office in this locality, then, as a rule, this obligation to issue certificates is assigned to house management services, housing departments, housing departments, or the administration, most often this applies to rural settlements.

You can also get a certificate of registration and family composition through the portals of public services, by contacting them personally, or through a special portal. The only caveat of this method is that it is not available in all localities. To obtain a certificate of residence, you must submit the following documents:

• with a registration stamp at the address to which this certificate is issued;
• Certificate of ownership of the residential premises, for which a certificate is required.
• If there is a certificate of ownership, even if a citizen is registered elsewhere, he is required to issue the required certificate, since he is and has the right to receive all information relating to his property.

Usually a certificate from the place of residence is issued immediately on the day of application, in rare cases it takes a day or two.

If a person who is not related to this living space comes for a certificate, then he must present a notarized power of attorney from the person who authorized it. Such cases are common in the case of the sale of residential real estate, when the owner instructs the realtor to collect all the necessary documents. You can also get a certificate from the place of residence by mail by sending an appropriate written application to the address of the passport office or other authorized body.

Who is issued a certificate of residence

Certificate of residence is issued only to the owners of housing

As mentioned above, a certificate of residence is issued only to the owners of residential space, or to persons registered in it. That is, an outsider cannot obtain data about an apartment to which he is not related.

An exception in this case can only be the legal representatives of the minor. It happens that the child is registered separately from the parents, or with one of the parents, but the other needs a certificate, for example, this can happen when the spouses. In this case, one of the parents has the right to receive a certificate from the place of residence for their child.

Also, a certificate from the place of residence of a citizen can be received by authorized bodies (police). In this case, the request is duly executed and can be betrayed in any way, and not just in person.

Currently, the legislation does not establish a clear period during which a certificate of residence is valid. In practice, it all depends on the situation for which it is required. The most common terms are:

1. 10 days;
2. 2 weeks;
3. 1 month.

For example, when recalculating any utility bills, the validity of this certificate is limited to 10 days, less often 2 weeks. For real estate transactions, this period can be extended up to 30 days. Or it may be that the certificate, in principle, does not have an expiration date.

This is possible in situations where we are talking about citizens who have already been deregistered, in particular in connection with death. It is logical to assume that in this case the data will not change, and even after a month the information in the certificate will be relevant.

In any case, if you need this certificate to be presented somewhere, then you should ask what is the limitation period for the certificate in this organization, so that it does not work out, so that while other documents are collected, the certificate will expire. And since, usually, there are no problems with issuing a certificate from problems; obtaining it can be left in the end.
