The lawyer warned the Russians about fines for staying outside their place of residence

Living outside the place of registration can lead not only to administrative fines, but also to serious legal consequences, including problems with obtaining court notices, military registration and access to social services. Yevgeny Gibadullin, a lawyer at the MUR bureau, warned about this on December 6.

"Non—residence at the place of registration is a situation when a citizen is registered (registered in the common people) at one address, but actually lives at another. This state of affairs creates serious legal risks that few people know about, while others underestimate," Gibadullin said in an article for the TV channel. 360.ru .

According to him, citizens who live without registration at their place of stay for more than 90 days or at their place of residence for more than seven days after moving can be fined from 2 thousand to 5 thousand rubles. Homeowners who have allowed such accommodation will pay up to 5,000 rubles, and legal entities — up to 800,000 rubles. Fictitious registration threatens criminal liability under Art. 322.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation — a fine of up to 500 thousand rubles or imprisonment for up to five years.

Gibadullin called court proceedings one of the most frequent problems: court summonses and notices are considered delivered if they are sent to the registration address, even if the person does not live there. This leads to lost cases in the absence of the defendant. For those liable for military service, a discrepancy in addresses can result in a fine of 10 thousand to 20 thousand rubles under the article on evading military registration, and in extreme cases, criminal prosecution for draft evasion.

In addition, the lack of registration at the place of actual residence restricts access to medical and educational services, registration of benefits, certificates, enrollment in kindergartens and schools, the lawyer points out. Non-owners risk being discharged from their homes by court order.

Gibadullin recommends registering on time when changing your place of residence, tracking mail at your registered address, using electronic services to monitor court correspondence, and notifying government agencies of your new place of residence.
