Migration registration in Russia
Every foreign visitor staying in Russia must be registered at their place of stay shortly after arrival. Hotels do this automatically; if you stay privately, the host has to register you. This service helps you complete that registration.
In short
Foreign visitors in Russia must be registered at their place of stay within 7 working days of arrival. If you stay in a hotel it registers you automatically; if you stay in a private home, the host (the receiving party) must register you with the GUVM migration authority. This service helps private guests complete that registration correctly.
