School Requires Registration for a Foreign Child — What to Do

Question

I am a foreign citizen, my child was born in Russia and attends school. The school requires registration, but the apartment owner does not want to provide it. What should I do?

Answer

Registration or migration accounting at the place of residence is a mandatory requirement for the legal stay of a foreigner in Russia. If you are renting accommodation, the accepting party is usually the owner or the person providing the housing.

Buying a fictitious registration is not allowed: this can lead to serious consequences. You need to resolve the issue legally — with the property owner, through a new place of residence, or through an official consultation regarding your situation.
