Temporary registration and migration registration in Russia are mandatory steps for legal residence and access to services. This is exactly where many migrants face refusals: applications aren’t accepted, deadlines are missed, and there’s a risk of fines or even deportation. For labor migrants, this affects work, income, and peace of mind. It’s important to understand the most common reasons for refusals and how to prepare properly in line with migration legislation.
A typical situation: you submitted an application for registration at your place of residence, but filled out some fields not in Russian or made a mistake in your passport number. The application wasn’t accepted; you had to return several times, reschedule shifts, and book a new appointment, including at the Sakharovo Migration Center. This can be avoided.
Main reasons for refusal to accept an application:
- The application is not filled out in Russian. Your full name should be given both in Russian and English, while all other fields must be in Russian only. The “Issued by” field may be filled out in Russian or English.
- The data in the application does not match your documents. Any discrepancy in dates, transliteration of your name, or addresses is grounds for refusal.
- The identity document of the applicant or migrant has expired.
How to act to avoid a refusal:
- Check regional requirements in advance: review the official website, follow migration news, and read clarifications on migration legislation.
- Prepare a full set of documents and make copies; confirm the correct transliteration of your name and document numbers in advance.
- Fill out the application only in Russian (except your full name—duplicate it in English). Use official samples and instructions.
- Carefully verify every character: passport series and number, registration address, date of entry.
- Save a draft and photos of the completed pages; when submitting at an MFC or at the Sakharovo Migration Center, ask a staff member to review correctness.
- If you receive a refusal, request a written reason—this will help you correct mistakes quickly and reapply.
