Registration of a foreign citizen at the place of residence is carried out by the migration department of the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia on the day a foreign citizen (his legal representative) submits an application for registration and necessary documents.

A foreign citizen's application for registration at the place of residence must be submitted directly to the migration department of the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia at the location of the dwelling that the foreign citizen has chosen as his (her) place of residence, within seven working days from the date of receipt of the temporary residence permit or a residence permit or from the date of his arrival at the location of the specified residential premises.

Simultaneously with an application for registration, a foreign citizen submits the following documents directly to the migration department at the location of the dwelling:

- identity document;
- a residence permit or a temporary residence permit;
- documents confirming the right to use the residential premises in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation (agreement, certificate of ownership or other document), and their copies - in case of the absence of information contained in these documents, at the disposal of bodies providing public services, bodies, providing municipal services, other state bodies, local self-government bodies or organizations subordinate to state bodies or local self-government bodies involved in the provision of state or municipal services.

To mark the registration of a foreign citizen at the place of residence, a foreign citizen submits an identity document, or a residence permit, or a temporary residence permit for a stateless person, or a refugee certificate, or a certificate of temporary asylum on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Registration of a foreign citizen at the place of residence is carried out by the migration division of the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia on the day a foreign citizen (his legal representative) submits an application for registration and documents provided for by the Administrative Regulations.

If a foreign citizen fails to submit a document confirming the right to use the residential premises (a state-registered contract or other document expressing the content of a transaction with real estate, a certificate of state registration of rights or another document), the registration of a foreign citizen at the place of residence is carried out by the migration department not later than the next business day after receiving the necessary information from the relevant state authorities or local authorities.

The grounds to refuse accepting documents required for registration of a foreign citizen at the place of residence are:

- lack of documents needed;

- expiration of the validity period of the identity document of the foreign citizen who applied for registration.

The grounds to refuse  registering a foreign citizen at the place of residence are:

- non-confirmation, within the framework of interdepartmental information interaction, of information about the documents confirming the right to use the residential premises specified in the registration application, if copies of such documents were not provided by the foreign citizen when submitting the registration application.

For registration of a foreign citizen at the place of residence, a state fee of 350 rubles is charged.
