How to order a technical passport online via the Internet

Today, in the age of computer technology, everything strives to simplify. Many documents can already be completed “without leaving home.”

But, unfortunately, the technical passport is not one of them. However, the Internet can help avoid hours-long queues at the BTI.

Those who have been involved in processing documents via the Internet are well aware of the existence of multifunctional centers (MFCs), where representatives of various government agencies are located.

The MFC, in the direction of BTI, is authorized to accept applications for work on technical inventory and production of technical documentation for an apartment, private household, garage, etc.

The procedure itself does not differ from that described above, but reception you can sign up for any comfortable time via the Internet. All you have to do is come with the prepared documents.

Is it possible to order a BTI passport through the State Services portal and on the Rosreestr website

Homeowners need to obtain a technical passport for the apartment (TP), which allows them to make transactions with housing. This document may be needed in various situations. Of particular interest to citizens are questions about the cost, place of registration of paper, as well as the possibility of making adjustments.

According to the current legislation, there are three documents that citizens can confuse: technical passport, cadastral passport (CP) and technical plan. It's not the same thing. Thus, the plan made it possible to obtain a CP confirming the completion of construction of the facility and its registration with Cadastral Chamber(now the paper is being replaced by an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate). The passport is needed to carry out major repairs, as it contains the technical information necessary for carrying out the manipulations. Documents differ in purpose and volume of data.

Since 2017, state registration of real estate objects has been carried out according to the procedure established Federal law No. 218-FZ. Technical certificate is no longer required for the procedure. In addition, Rosreestr will not request it. According to the amendments, the designated document was replaced by a plan and is not mentioned in the law.

At the same time, the paper contains comprehensive information about housing. For this reason, citizens and legal entities continue to actively use the passport for their needs.

As of 2019, the parameters reflected in the technical documentation are determined by the following legal acts:

• Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation No. 244 (form and procedure for registration of TP);
• Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation No. 953 (form and requirements for drawing up a plan);
• Rosreestr order No. P/338 (registration of technical plan in electronic form).

Important! The current legislation does not require interested parties to receive only a technical plan or technical passport. These documents do not replace each other. Each of them has its own purpose and quality content.

The TP is manufactured by an employee of the Bureau of Technical Inventory. The process may include an employee visiting the facility location or may take place without him. All documentation is certified by the engineer’s visa and the organization’s seal. It is worth noting that the paper received in hand cannot be replaced until the person has a need to remodel the apartment.

TP contains detailed information about housing, presented in tabular form, as well as a schematic representation of the elements of the object and their parameters. Cadastral information is not reflected in this case. The technical passport is issued in the form of an A3 brochure.

In addition to information about the owners who have issued the corresponding right, the passport contains the following information:

• the address where the apartment is located;
• year of completion of construction work;
• types of materials used in the implementation of construction activities;
• the percentage of depreciation of a building (housing), reflecting the possibility of safe operation of the facility;
• the type and series of the project according to which construction was carried out;
• suitability of the apartment for residential use (assessed by an authorized BTI person upon departure);
• availability of amenities;
• total area of ​​the apartment;
• number of rooms and their location;
• a comprehensive description of the location of window openings, doors, structures performing a load-bearing function, and ventilation shafts.

This will ensure legal purity of transactions and will significantly simplify the life of the beneficiary. So, you will need a passport if:

• the citizen plans to sell his home;
• there is a gratuitous transfer of an object to another person (donation, inheritance);
• the spouses have decided to dissolve the union and are deciding on the division of property;
• approval is required for overhaul(redevelopment);
• the object is registered as non-residential.

When renting out an apartment building, the owner of the apartment must take care of obtaining a registration certificate for the property he has purchased. The document will reflect the main engineering and technical indicators. By the way, issuing paper is not the responsibility of the company that carried out the development. The exception is cases when obligations are fixed by contract.

At the end of the specified period, the information must be updated. This is done solely at the request of the owner of the property or if necessary caused by manipulations with the housing that significantly change its characteristics.

How to check a document when purchasing a residential property

A technical passport for an apartment is a document issued by the BTI and contains all the technical characteristics of the premises.

There are 2 types of technical passport:

• technical passport of the building;
• technical passport of the building.

We are interested in the 2nd option, since this is what the technical passport for the apartment refers to. That is, it turns out that this is a kind of extract from the general technical passport for the building.

As a rule, a technical passport for an apartment is drawn up during the initial inventory, which is carried out when a new house is put into operation. Moreover, issues related to the production of a technical passport are not dealt with Building company when renting out a house, but the owner of the apartment. Attached to the technical passport for the apartment are: floor plan and a list of premises.

The technical passport contains the following information:

• floor plan of the premises;
• inventory value of the apartment;
• materials from which the walls are made;
• characteristics of the foundation and floors;
• date of construction of housing;
• number of rooms;
• footage, etc.

Often citizens confuse two terms - “technical passport” and “technical plan”. These are different documents. First, a technical plan is made, and on its basis a technical passport is prepared. In addition, information from the technical plan is transferred by the BTI to Rosreestr, and there, in turn, another document necessary for the owner is generated - a cadastral passport.

A technical passport for an apartment is required in the following cases:

1. If you buy a home with a mortgage, the bank may require a technical passport for the apartment in order to form a market price for the home.
2. In cases of establishing the amount of tax on an apartment.
3. To complete transactions for the alienation of an apartment.
4. To coordinate redevelopment.
5. When allocating a share in kind in shared ownership.
6. When registering an inheritance.

In all these situations, it is necessary to obtain a registration certificate from the BTI.

Where and how to order a technical passport for an apartment?

Now let’s figure out where to get a registration certificate for an apartment. It can be ordered from the BTI. To do this, you must submit the following documents:

Technical passport for an apartment: what else should you know before contacting the BTI?

Let's consider the issue of obtaining a technical passport from the future buyer of an apartment.

The registration certificate for the apartment contains information about the general condition of the apartment, including technical. Therefore, if you decide to buy an apartment, ask the seller new document or check the location of the apartment, the number and location of rooms, etc. with your existing passport.

This is necessary to make sure that all redevelopment that took place in the apartment was legalized. If they took place without the permission of the BTI, then you will have to pay a fine for illegal redevelopment.

Technical passports that were obtained before the law “On the State Real Estate Cadastre” came into force have legal force and are valid on a par with new technical passports.

It is worth noting that the technical passport as a document is already fading into the background. Indeed, when completing any transactions with an apartment, all authorities, and especially buyers, are more interested in the cadastral passport. The technical passport contains information about the inventory assessment of housing, which is still needed by banks and notaries.

Thus, issuing a technical passport is a necessary procedure when putting a house into operation. But if you have already received it, then the validity of the document is not limited, since it is not of a regulatory nature. Moreover, it should be updated only if you have remodeled your apartment.

Technical passport is a document that indicates the main characteristics of the apartment. It must be issued immediately after purchasing the living space. To obtain a technical passport for an apartment, you must contact the BTI.

What information is included in the document?

To make a technical passport for an apartment, you must first draw up a plan. Often people come to the wrong destination when they need a technical passport for an apartment. Where can I get this document? Many citizens are interested in this. It should be remembered that you need to contact the BTI.

Why is this paper needed?

There are situations in which a technical passport for an apartment is necessary:

1. When an apartment is purchased with a mortgage. Recently, almost all banks require this document, since they need it in order to assess the real market value of a particular home.
2. In rare cases, it is required to be able to register a stranger in the apartment.
3. If necessary expert assessment technical condition of the living space. This will require the information displayed in the technical data sheet.
4. To generate an accurate apartment tax. To determine the correct amount, it is necessary to provide data that indicates an inventory of the apartment and shows its value. Most often, the inventory price is lower than the market price.
5. To clarify tariffs utilities. In this case, a technical passport for the apartment is necessary, since it indicates the exact area of ​​the home, depending on which the amount of utility bills is determined.

What documents are needed to apply to the BTI?

To order a technical passport for an apartment, you must submit the following papers to a BTI employee:

1. Identity document. Usually this is a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.
2. Proof of ownership in the original and one photocopy of it. If the apartment has not been privatized, then you must provide a personal account. It can be requested from the housing and communal services or HOA.
3. Death certificate of the owner of the apartment in the original or in the form of a copy, documents confirming the transfer of ownership to the person requesting the technical cadastral passport for the apartment, and the passport of the heir, if this document is necessary in the process of registration of inheritance.

5. Power of attorney having notarization, and a passport, if a representative of the person who needs it applies to obtain a technical passport.

Rules for filling out an application

The application must indicate the specific reason why the person needs the BTI technical passport for the apartment. If a person has lost his passport or decided to make a duplicate of this document, he must fill out an application in Form No. 3. It differs primarily in that it does not require calling a technician.

If a person needs a new technical passport after redevelopment or requires updating it when an apartment is being sold, as well as when receiving it for the first time, for example, when purchasing an apartment in a new building, it is necessary to fill out an application in Form No. 4. A technician will definitely be required to take measurements and check all the characteristics of the living space.

How is the state duty paid?

The exact cost of the state duty has not been established by the state. In various departments of the BTI, it is assigned taking into account many factors, but usually amounts to 900 rubles. This amount applies to non-urgent collection, which takes 14 days. If a person needs to obtain a technical passport urgently, a large amount will be required, which in various BTIs is assigned at the discretion of the employees, but then you will only have to wait a week.

Features of obtaining a technical passport

A BTI employee takes all submitted documents for authentication, with the exception of the original passport. The day of arrival of the technician, if necessary, is set in advance, as well as the period during which you need to wait for the passport. The employee must issue a receipt confirming the receipt of all necessary documents from the applicant. A technical passport for an apartment can be obtained only after presenting this receipt.

If residential premises are purchased in a new house, then the buyer must prepare this document. When housing is purchased on the secondary market, it must already be registered, that is, obtaining a technical passport is the responsibility of the seller.

Why do you need to call a technician?

Often, to obtain a technical passport, a call from a BTI employee is required. The technician will inspect the living space and record the following data:

1. Physical, authentic address of the apartment. It is necessarily complete, indicating the exact numbers of buildings and other branches, so it often looks quite long.
2. Cadastral and inventory numbers. This is necessary for the employee’s reporting and will be included in the technical passport in the future, because it is usually attached to the cadastral passport.
3. Explication.
4. Accurate assessment of wear and tear of both the entire building and a specific apartment. It is not the furniture or clean appearance that is assessed, but the quality and appearance of the walls, ceiling, that is, longitudinal and transverse rigid structures.
5. The exact date of construction of the house. It is advisable to additionally look in the directory in order to be sure to indicate the true date and in the future there will be no problems with checking documents.
6. Sanitary and hygienic standards. First, the apartment itself is examined. The degree of restoration of order is taken into account, as well as the possibility of its unhindered provision. The appearance of the entire apartment is assessed, since the neglect of certain objects may be reflected in the technical passport.
7. Floor plan of the entire residential building.

Providing additional data

If a cadastral passport must be obtained for the first time for a specific apartment, the owner of the living space is responsible for providing data on the condition and layout of systems such as sewerage, full electrical wiring, water supply, and often additionally requests for drainage features, a plan for the location of the heating system, especially the number blocks in each room of the apartment and information about their serviceability.

The owner of the apartment must talk about the materials from which the walls and ceiling were built. The main task of the arrival of a specialist from BTI is not only to obtain useful information about the apartment, but also the product of its inventory, which allows you to reflect the real picture of the condition of the living space.

Validity period of the technical passport of the apartment

The technical passport is not limited by validity period. Once issued, it formally has no expiration date. In order to constantly keep it up to date, it is necessary to conduct an inventory every 5 years, that is, update the technical passport. This requirement is stated in the law of the Russian Federation, but a small part of citizens follows it. It is necessary to update this document when it has to be presented at state organizations to obtain any services or certificates.

If a person decides to donate or sell an apartment, then taking an inventory is not considered mandatory. When even a small redevelopment of an apartment is carried out, it is necessary to first settle this aspect with the BTI. When permission to change the boundaries of premises by demolishing walls is issued, you will have to subsequently issue a technical passport at the request of BTI employees.

By law, a person is obliged to do this even after minor changes in his own home. A technical passport cannot be issued with for a certain period action, since it is not provided for this document. Officially, the technical passport expires when the apartment plan changes.
