Registration at the place of residence is a registration type providing information about the place of the actual stay of the foreign citizen. Such information proves useful, in particular, when calculating the utilities, for forwarding penalty receipts and on other occasions. Meanwhile, the foreign citizen can be only registered in residential premises. A private individual, in his turn, can have a foreigner registered only at the address of his registration or in the residential premises owned by him.
Registration shall be mandatory for the foreign citizens, who have obtained a permit for temporary residence or a permit for permanent residence (permanent resident card) in RF.
