In the Russian Federation, the final deadlines for free privatization of housing have been repeatedly set. As experience shows, citizens rush to organizations involved in this procedure at the last moment, where they are faced with the fact that they do not know what documents for privatization may be required.
The main document regulating the transition to private ownership of residential premises in Russia is Law No. 1541 - 1, issued in 1991 (July 4). It includes a definition of privatization, a list of objects subject to and not subject to transfer to ownership. In accordance with article number 7 of the law, transfer to private ownership is made out by a transfer agreement, which is concluded between citizens and structures that previously owned these residential properties (local government, institution, enterprise, etc.).
The procedure for transferring residential premises to private ownership may vary slightly for different regions. However, there is a list of documents for privatization, which is used everywhere. It represents the following:
- One copy of the certificate in the form of seven.
- Two copies of the certificate in the form of nine.
- Copies of warrants certified in the housing office - 2 pcs.
- An order issued by an executive body, on the basis of which an order was formed if it was issued after January 1, 1998.
- The cadastral and technical passport received in the PIB and two photocopies of these documents (issued on the basis of forms 7 and 9).
- Notarized refusal to participate in the privatization process and a copy of the refusal’s passport (or his personal presence).
- Passports, birth certificates of all persons applying for privatization, and their photocopies. For persons from 14 to 18 years, both a passport and a birth certificate are required . For citizens under the age of 14, only a birth certificate is needed. Note that when documents are submitted for privatization, it is imperative that all applicants are personally present.
- A notarized power of attorney, copies of passports of principals and a copy of the power of attorney itself, in case one of those claiming to receive residential premises in private ownership cannot come in person.
Also, documents for the privatization of housing imply the presence of:
- A notarized power of attorney in the UFRS from all persons who participate in the privatization, and its two photocopies.
- Documents confirming the change of name, surname or patronymic, if any.
- Permissions of guardianship and trusteeship structures , if necessary.
- Security certificate for reserved premises.
- Information on form nine from all places of residence and confirmation of non-participation in privatization from district agencies for those who changed their place of registration.
- The agreement on social employment and its photocopy (if it was concluded). If there are citizens who refuse to privatize, in the presence of a social employment contract, they must be provided with an additional power of attorney, certified by a notary public, to terminate this contract.
Documents for the privatization of premises managed by departments (economic or operational) include a certificate from the UFRS on state registration of the right to operational or economic management of this premises. You also need a power of attorney for the head of this departmental structure and an order for his appointment.
After the applicant has submitted documents for privatization, he can count on a response within two months. Directly the property comes from the moment of state registration of the rights of owners in the corresponding state register.
