A few years ago I complained about the US immigration service.
My husband has now humbled me with a glimpse into the Russian bureaucratic system. It is taking no less than four documents to grant his mother permission to say that he doesn't live there anymore so that she can sell the apartment.
These are in essence what they are saying:
1. My address is here, so I no longer live there.
2. I grant My Mother permission to change my residential status.
3. I grant permission to remove me from the list of residents residing at Moscow Apartment Address.
4. I grant My Mother permision to remove me from residential status at Moscow Apartment Address.

My understanding is that if you can get a document with a lot of colorful, official looking seals on it, this will help. I helped my in-laws to type a letter once so that their friend could pick up some coins that had been confiscated by customs. The friend composed it and I typed it because I had access to a cyrillic typeface. This should be less of a problem now, though. This was back in the days of DOS. Let's see, a notary seal is easy enough. I think my Father in Law also put his contractor's seal on it. They did get the coins back.

We already sent a very similar document that had all those statements on it.It was rejected because the statements need to be on four seperate documents.
Not just any notary seal will do. Our notarized signature was also criticized because it wasn't embossed. So we'll need to go to the county office and have every document notarized there.
I wonder if they want it gold leafed too...
