All foreigners entering Russia are subject to statistical records. The same applies to Russians migrating within the country. In order to keep records of migrants, the legislation of the Russian Federation obliges migrants to register.
Sample arrival statistics sheet
Before registering, you need to fill out a special form according to the form 12p in the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Why do you need a document
Such records are kept in order to know how many foreigners are in Russia, for how long they are going to stay and where they plan to go next. Also, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is interested in data on the places of residence of citizens of the Russian Federation.
For an individual, it is necessary to issue a statistical registration coupon in order not to violate the laws in force. The sheet is required to obtain a temporary registration or residence permit.
