Why do you need a notification form and when will you need it?

A foreign citizen can arrive at an apartment provided to him as a place of stay by a citizen of the Russian Federation or a foreigner permanently residing in the territory of the Russian Federation.

Territorial bodies of the FMS will carry out accounting actions in relation to a guest from another state, if there is a reason for this - a notification of a special form, the fields in which must be filled in by the receiving party, that is, the one who provides his apartment.

The owner of the apartment (or the foreigner himself) has 7 days from the date of arrival of the guest to submit a notification of arrival at the place of stay to the migration service in any way. But it must be paper, only properly executed, and always complete with other documents that are needed for registration at a non-permanent location.

The receiving party, that is, the owner or tenant, tenant of the apartment where a person with a different citizenship will be located during the period of stay, filling out the notification form yourself and by signing it, he takes responsibility for his guest.

A document such as a notification or questionnaire will be needed when a traveler arriving from abroad applies for a temporary residence permit or patent. In the absence of this paper, any request will be denied by the FMS employees, and after a week, claims may be made regarding the delay in registration. Registration of a foreign citizen at the place of stay - the form for this can be found below.

Where can I get the form?

How to fill it out correctly?

Filling out the form for temporary registration of a foreign citizen can be done:

  • Only in Russian;
  • competently, without errors, corrections or blots;
  • in black or dark blue, which is clearly visible and clearly visible in the cells of the form (the employee checking the information must easily read all the data about the foreigner being registered and about the citizen receiving him);
  • Abbreviations and abbreviations are not allowed, only full decrypted names;
  • with filling out all the lines required for migration authorities to obtain the necessary information about the alien;
  • with the provision of truthful data.

The form for notification of the arrival of a foreign citizen at the place of stay has two sides, with a tear-off coupon, also double-sided. Only capital letters should be entered, and printed, not handwritten. Examples of letter designations are given at the top of the form.

If the form (you can download the form for registration of foreign citizens above) provides for entering data that does not exist in a particular case - for example, the number of a building, building, or something else, then they do not put dashes, but simply leave the cell empty, unfilled.

The form itself is divided into cells - each letter is in its own cell, and you must start from the very first cell, and between individual words you need to make a space in one cell to separate the words. When filling out information about a guest, the apartment owner cannot always correctly read even his last name, first name and patronymic in the foreigner’s passport.

In this case, you should not rely on your knowledge of a foreign language, but take this data from the visa, then the match will be complete, as it should be.

There is an important clarification: the number of cells for a series of a foreigner’s passport may not coincide, so you need to enter as many characters as will fit in the cells, and write the remaining alphabetic and numerical designations in the cells intended for the passport number (starting from the first), even these are not numbers , and letters.

U When indicating the purpose of your visit, there is no need to guess: this is also on the visa (or in the invitation), from there it should be written off in Russian.

Particular attention must be paid to specifying the final period of stay. Usually it is 90 days, which can be easily counted from the date of arrival, or the end of the visa (clause 95 of the Administrative Regulations). And if a foreigner has a work visa issued by the Russian Federation, then the period of his temporary stay in the Russian Federation corresponds to the end of the work permit (Article 13.2 No. 115 - Federal Law of July 25, 2002).

Data about the migration card should be taken from the card itself - The number and series are always imprinted at the top of the document.

In the columns about legal representatives, you must indicate information about the responsible person who submits the papers to submit the notification to the migration authorities (usually the one who provides the apartment).

Here you need to enter your full name, year of birth, gender, series and passport number.

The empty field on the right is filled in by a FMS employee.

Front side of tear-off part

Below the tear-off line, all the required data should be repeated: this is a tear-off coupon that will be issued to the citizen who applied for the notification. In fact, the tear-off coupon is proof what the migration service already knows about the visiting guest.

All information has already been entered into the application form, so there should be no problems filling out the front side of the coupon.

The downside of the notification

The column “information about place of stay” implies the need to enter data about the foreigner’s temporary location, only in each line you need to separately indicate the name of the region, district, locality, etc., as well as enter passport data.

Name of the organization, its actual address and TIN The taxpayer does not need to be filled out by a private individual (this refers to information about the organization acting as the receiving party). Of course, the citizen does not have a seal, but he must sign.

Reverse side of the tear-off coupon

On the back of the tear-off part, the FMS themselves will note confirmation of the fact of the notification. After looking at a sample of filling out a foreign citizen registration form, it will be much easier to fill it out yourself.

By taking seriously the preparation of a notification of the arrival of a foreigner at the place of stay, each person will be able to correctly, and therefore, in accordance with the requirements, enter all the necessary information into the columns of the form, which will exactly coincide during verification with those available in the documents and in the database.
