Question:
I have just rented a flat in Moscow. I will be living in this flat for 2 weeks and then going back to London for 2 weeks, then back to Moscow for 2 weeks and so on. To date I have never had a problem getting my registration card (whatever that piece of paper you are given on the plane is called) stamped as I have stayed in hotels. Now I am living in a rented flat, how do I get the necessary stamp?

Answer:
The procedure to be registered at your actual address is quite cumbersome and is as follows: your landlord has to take passports of all the persons officially registered in the apartment, go to local building management (DEZ) and provide you with the registered letter (zayavlenie), which requests authorities to register you in their apartment. For the landlord, that will cause additional payments for the communal services (such as gas, water and other fixed expenses associated with the apartment) as well as much time spent at the DEZ. Next, you will have to contact your inviting party and they should register you, using the landlord’s letter. This procedure is likely to take more than three working days allowed by the legislation to get registered. Therefore, if your stay in the apartment is short, we recommend doing a temporary registration with a help of a professional agency. Different visa and travel agency charge from $40 to $80 for this procedure. Although your registration address and the address of your stay will not match, this will make no difference for the authorities and save you a lot of time and trouble.
