Reference "Form 9" is a registration document. Often people call it "about the composition of the family", but this is not an entirely accurate definition. Let's find out what information the "form 9" certificate includes, what it is for, where to get it and what it takes.

What information is in the document

Reference "form 9" contains information about all persons registered in a residential area, whether it is an apartment or a private house. Sometimes it includes information about people deregistered. The list is headed by the homeowner, his full name is indicated, then lines and columns are filled in turn. They record the names, patronymics and surnames of each person registered in the premises, their date of birth, date of registration (and expiration), family or other relationship with the owner of the housing. Both permanent and temporary registrations are indicated. If the list includes de-registered persons, information about the reason for de-registration is sometimes added. Thus, the certificate shows how many people were registered at a specific address on the day of issuedocument, and, accordingly, could legally use this premises.

Further, in form 9, information about the apartment or house itself is indicated: living and total area, number of rooms, type of property and background information on utility bills arrears. This is a complete list of the information provided, but in some cases, the organizations issuing the document are limited to only listing registered residents.

Validity period of the certificate "Form 9"

Legally, this paper has no statute of limitations, that is, the law does not indicate how long it is valid. It is customary to consider information from form 9 relevant within 1 month from the date of issue. However, some companies that need to submit a document independently set its validity period from 10 to 14 calendar days. Therefore, if you need a "form 9" certificate by a certain day, apply for it shortly before the required date.

Who is authorized to issue the document

Where can I get a certificate of Form 9? In the Department of moving in and registration of citizens at the location of the living space, in the passport office or ZhEK. The certificate issuance service is provided free of charge upon personal contact with the organization that is authorized to issue registration information.

The system works differently in different regions of Russia, so before asking for help, check the working hours of a particular organization and the opening hours of visitors.

What you need to get Form 9

You will need the following papers:

• Identification document (passport with a registration stamp for the owner of the apartment and any person registered in it).
• A duly issued power of attorney (confirmation of the authority of an individual to act on behalf of third parties) and an identity document for a person not registered in this residential premises.

When contacting a specialist for information, you will be issued a certificate "Form 9". The form must be completed, indicating your full name, passport details, registration address and date of request. Sometimes passport office employees issue Form 9 upon verbal request, excluding the stage of filling out forms from the workflow, because now everyone works with computers, where all the necessary information is stored. Help is issued immediately, at the time of application. The only thing is sometimes you need to sign it with the boss after confirming the absence of debts for utility bills.

Cases of refusal to issue a certificate

It happens that the passport office or the registration department refuses to issue a form 9 to the visitor. This happens if the owner's account has unpaid payments for an apartment or house (electricity, heating, hot and cold water, etc.).

In any of two possible situations (you received an oral refusal to issue a certificate or you were given written confirmation of the refusal of the request), you can contactto the prosecutor's office, referring to Article 19.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation "Arbitrariness". Employees of these organizations do not have the right to refuse to issue a Form 9 certificate only on the basis of utility debt.

What is "Form 9" for

The most common situations are real estate purchase and sale transactions or the resettlement of communal apartments. For example, if you are selling an apartment, you may need to take Form 9 several times during the paperwork process. This is not a superfluous requirement for the buyer, because it is not so profitable for him to buy an apartment where unknown people are registered, who, like the owner, can claim part of the property. So that there are no unpleasant surprises for both parties, such a measure as repeatedly applying for the specified document is justified.

The certificate of registration "form 9" is especially important when resettling communal apartments. It gives real information about which rooms are privatized and which are not. Those who have not used the right to privatize before will apply for new housing without any problems. If someone has already used this opportunity, they may encounter difficulties with resettlement.

Other cases where a Form 9 reference may be required:

• applying to the Center for Social Protection for benefits for low-income families with children;
• receiving compensation for kindergarten fees;
• if in an apartment or house there is less than the established footage per registered person, you can queue for housing, for this you need "form 9"(and more);
• as a family composition certificate for the gas service (when no meter is installed, and payment is charged for each registered).

Important to know

All information contained in the Form 9 certificate is subject to the Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 152-FZ of July 27, 2006 "On Personal Data". This means that you cannot obtain information about the place of registration of another person without his consent. Specialists and operators who have received personal information are obliged not to distribute or disclose data to third parties without the consent of the subject, unless otherwise provided by federal law.

If documents are needed to apply for benefits or other payments to the whole family, and the spouses are registered at different addresses, you will need to take a "form 9" from each place of residence.

Sometimes the information contained in the document is needed to confirm the footage of living space, since since 1998 the measurement system for determining the size of living space has changed (up to tenths, not hundredths of a square meter). A note about this should be made in the technical passport, but many citizens leave this fact unnoticed and do not correct the information.

So, we told you how to get a Form 9 certificate and what it is for. Let no bureaucratic difficulties spoil your life!
