The question of what a genuine registration in Moscow looks like is of concern to a considerable number of people. It should be understood that a registration will only be genuine if it is legally obtained. No matter how the form looks, the FMS authorities cannot issue an incorrect document.
Form does not matter
As a rule, registration is made according to Form No. 3. The document is called the Certificate of Registration at the place of stay. Nevertheless, there are several varieties of this form, since there are no clearly defined criteria in the administrative regulations as to how registration should look like. It can be issued on an A4 or A5 sheet, it depends on the institution issuing the document.
The most modern versions of registration forms contain a barcode that can be used to quickly check whether a registration is genuine. But not all passport offices are yet equipped with the equipment that allows the production of such forms.
A temporary registration form is a regular paper that contains information about who was registered and where. Therefore, it may look different. The criterion for the authenticity of the registration form is not its form, but the data indicated on it. Therefore, in order to make sure that the registration is not fake, it is recommended to do it yourself by contacting authorized institutions, for example, the passport office or the Unified Registration Center. The method of obtaining registration is described in detail in the FMS regulations, which can be found on the official resource of the organization.
How to check the authenticity of registration
Sometimes people entrust the registration process to intermediaries, since they themselves do not have time to deal with it. If your intermediary acted by power of attorney, and all the rules described in the regulations of the procedure were followed, then the registration will be genuine. There is an easy way to check the accuracy of the information on the form. You need to contact the passport office at the place of issue of the document and ask if they have such a registration. If the employees answer you in the affirmative, then only this can be considered a guarantee of the authenticity of the registration, but not any special form.
It also happens that people buy a form with a fake registration, because they do not know how to make a genuine one. If this is your case, it should be understood that a registration purchased in this way may not be genuine, even if the form looks the same as that of another person with a known genuine registration.
How to register in Moscow
To be sure whether your registration is genuine and whether the form is correct, it is best to get it yourself. This should be done using the official method. To do this, you need to come to the passport office together with the owner of the home in which you live and register, and personally receive the registration. It won't take long.
Remember that forgery of state documents and their use is a criminal offense, which is punishable in accordance with article 327 of part 3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
