Step-by-step instructions for independently arranging apartment privatization

Step 1.

Contact the ZHEK, OSBB, KP with your passport (birth certificate):

• Here Form No. 4 or No. 5 is prepared (for the privatization of a separate or communal apartment). These forms are issued by the passport clerks at the ZHEK. The forms list everyone registered in the apartment at that time, as well as newborns and temporarily absent persons entitled to housing. The forms also include all data necessary for preparing the privatization documents (apartment area, personal account).
• You should also bring a copy of the apartment order and a certificate from the previous place of residence (for those who registered in the apartment after 1993) stating that the right to privatize the apartment has not yet been used.
• At the ZHEK you need to obtain an application for issuing a technical passport for the apartment, which is issued by the master or the technical service of the ZHEK.
• Then the privatization application itself will be prepared. For this the whole family must visit the ZHEK office, because they will need to sign all the documents. Later these signatures will be certified by the head of the office. It follows that the application will be drawn up in the name of the head in accordance with the standard form. One of the forms (No. 4 or No. 5) and the technical passport must be attached to the application.

Step 2.

Apply to the privatization department of the local state administration with the following documents:

• Passport or birth certificate (for persons who have not yet received passports). It is mandatory to have documents for each family member. If someone lived in the apartment with registration after 1992, you need to collect certificates from all previous places of residence. The certificates should indicate whether this resident has participated in privatization before.
• Tax identification numbers and photocopies.
• Certificate from the ZHEK department (Form No. 4).
• Application for apartment privatization (with all signatures certified by the head of the ZHEK).
• Copy of the order granting the living space.
• Technical passport.

Step 3.

Apply to the Registration Service (Department of State Registration) to register the ownership right to the apartment. After completing the privatization procedure, a certificate of ownership will be obtained, which must undergo mandatory registration with the Registration Service. Such registration with the Registration Service takes no more than 14 working days from the moment the application was submitted.
