Is it possible to register in the apartment?
Unfortunately, you cannot register your place of residence in an apartment. This is because apartments, by their legal status, are not residential premises. They are classified as commercial real estate, which does not allow them to be used for permanent residence with official registration of the place of residence.
However, it is possible to change the purpose of the apartment to a residential apartment, which will allow for registration of the place of residence.
How do I change the designated purpose of an apartment to a residential apartment?
To change the designated purpose of an apartment, you need to go through several stages and prepare a certain set of documents. The main documents required to change the designated purpose of real estate:
- A document of ownership:
This can be a purchase and sale agreement, a certificate of inheritance or other document confirming your ownership of the apartment. - Passport and TIN code:
These documents are required to identify the owner of the property. - Technical passport of the BTI:
The technical passport contains detailed information about the premises, its layout, area and technical condition. It is issued by the Bureau of Technical Inventory (BTI). - Reconstruction project (if available):
If you plan to redevelop or reconstruct the apartment, you need to develop a reconstruction project. This document contains technical solutions for redevelopment and compliance with building codes.
Stages of changing the purpose of real estate
- Preparation of documents:
Gather all the necessary documents, including the technical passport of the BTI and the reconstruction project, if any. - Submitting an application:
Submit an application for a change of purpose to the relevant local authorities or to the State Register of Real Property Rights. - Conducting an expert examination:
In some cases, it may be necessary to conduct an examination of the technical condition of the premises and its compliance with building codes. - Obtaining a permit:
After your application has been reviewed and the necessary checks have been carried out, you will receive a permit to change the purpose of the apartment. - Registration of changes:
After obtaining the permit, you need to make changes to the State Register of Real Property Rights, which confirms the new status of your property as a residential property.
Completing the procedure
After you receive an extract from the State Register indicating that your property has a living space, you can register your place of residence in it. This will give you the opportunity to officially reside in the apartment, which now has the status of a residential apartment.
