How to Deregister in Russia While in the USA

Many Russians who are temporarily or permanently abroad are faced with the need to deregister within the Russian Federation, but many of them do not have the opportunity to personally travel to Russia. Some want to sell the apartment in which they are registered; others want to renounce their Russian citizenship and obtain a certificate of deregistration. The motives for such a decision may vary, and the solution to a particular problem may also differ from case to case.

Registration of citizens of the Russian Federation is carried out by territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

In order to be removed from the register administratively, a citizen of the Russian Federation who is outside the Russian Federation must have a valid Russian passport. To the question of what kind of passport it should be (internal or foreign), I will answer - any. You can have any of these passports, but at least one of them must be valid. Let me remind you that the validity period of a foreign passport is indicated in the passport itself. The internal passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation expires upon reaching the appropriate age, in particular 20 and 45 years. An internal passport issued to a citizen of the Russian Federation after reaching the age of 45 is valid indefinitely.

Deregistration in an administrative manner is carried out by personal application. Many of our subscribers are convinced that in order to be deregistered, it is necessary to contact the consulate. However, Russian diplomatic missions have a limited staff and are incredibly busy for many months in advance. In addition, there is a category of Russian citizens who, even if they had the technical ability to get to the consulate, would not do so due to the instability of their immigration status.

What should these people do? Will they be able to deregister without going to the consulate? - Of course, yes. Our office specializes in solving such problems, and we will remove you from the register in any corner of the Russian Federation - from Moscow to the very outskirts.

Do you have to live in New York or come to this metropolis where our office is located? - No, you don't. You can be anywhere in the United States, and we will remotely prepare the necessary documents, help notarize and legalize them, organizing the entire process clearly and so smoothly that you will not have to break away from your daily affairs.

However, due to the logistical difficulties that Russian citizens face, we will ensure the transfer of your documents from the USA to Russia and back.

If, when applying to the consulate, the consular offices act as an intermediary between the applicant and the registration authority and do not provide explanations on the progress of the request, and also do not have the ability to issue documents confirming the deregistration, then when applying to Our New York office Our clients receive a full range of services, from legal advice to obtaining documents confirming deregistration.

To remove from the register a minor citizen of the Russian Federation who has not reached the age of 14, the parent with whom the child is registered includes him/her in his/her application for removal from the register.

From the age of 14, a child has partial legal capacity and must submit a personal application with the consent of his or her parents or one of them.

What to do if both passports (both domestic and international) are out of order? There is a way out. Firstly, you can always restore your international passport. A new international passport is issued only through the consulate, and the process takes a long time, but nevertheless, it is a working mechanism.

It should be said that if the only reason for restoring a Russian passport is deregistration, then you can do without it. If you are not the owner of the apartment where you are registered, then you can be deregistered by the owner's claim in court. That is, if you are registered in your parents' apartment and do not own a share in this apartment, your parents will be able to deregister you through the court. But the main advice is to keep your documents in order so that at least one of your passports - internal or foreign - is valid. In this case Our New York office will discharge you administratively without the need to go to court.
