Form guide
Form guide: notification of departure
The notification of departure tells the authorities that a foreigner no longer lives at an address. In most everyday situations it is optional.
Not an official government website. MigraForma is a private reference service.
When it is used
A host may file it when the foreigner moves out, for example to make sure their address is no longer linked to someone who has left. When you register at a new address, the new registration replaces the old one.
Who files it
Usually the host. Ask your landlord or university whether they want to file it when you move out.
Fill it in online
You can fill in the notification of departure online (the form itself is in Russian; our online tool explains each field).

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.
