Guide
Moving to a new address
Your registration is tied to an address. When you move, it has to follow you.
Not an official government website. MigraForma is a private reference service.
New address, new notification
When you move, your new host files a new notification of arrival within the same deadline as on arrival — 7 working days for Indian citizens and most other foreigners.
Old registration
A new registration replaces the old one. The previous host may also file a notification of departure — see notification of departure.
Moving to another city
Registration is needed in the new city. Students should also check with the university, and workers with their employer, whether the move affects their visa or permit.

For reference only. MigraForma is a private service, not an official government website: we are not the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD), a multifunctional centre (MFC) or Gosuslugi, we do not submit documents and this is not legal advice. Rules change, so check them with the migration authorities before you apply. Information checked in October 2026.
