Abstract

The subject of research in this article is citizens registration at the place of residence in the Russian Federation as one of the primary activities of internal affairs bodies. The purpose of the research is to analyze the registration activity of internal affairs bodies in the field of migration, theorize its independence, and develop scientific and methodical recommendations on how to improve Russia’s legislation and law enforcement practice in the field of interest with account for the modern demands of Russian society.  The author uses both general scientific (historical, dialectical, comparative, deductive and inductive), and special legal research methods, such as the comparative legal method.  The topicality of the research is determined by the undervaluation, in the author’s opinion, of the role of citizens registration in the Russian Federation in the field of national security provision, and by the necessity to create a more efficient system of quantitative accounting of the population in the Russian Federation compared with the current registration system. Currently, the optimal ways to improve the system of citizens registration at the place of residence in the Russian Federation are being searched for.
