Registration Form of Temporary Residence

[dajaphonics]

Hello, I just arrived in Beijing two days ago. I will be studying at Beijing Normal University and my girlfriend will be teaching at a University. Her school is providing housing but right now they took us directly to a hotel. Do I need to do anything for the registration of temporary residence if I'm at a hotel? They took our passports and filled out a document at the reception desk. If anyone has any suggestions I'd like to hear them. Thanks.

No. If you're at a hotel, the hotel takes care of all of that.

When I go to register at BNU, will I have to get a copy of the Temporary Residence document? It has it on the website. How important is it that I bring every document that they request we have for registration?

Not sure how it works for BNU, but for BLCU it's like this.

They basically want to know where you live, if this is off campus. I think that if you name the hotel, it will be enough for registration. You will have to check this tho.

For when you move to your apt:

I heard from some ppl that they check your temp residence form when you want to leave china. When I left china they didn't ask me tho. I would advice to get this document, just in case. You will have to ask your landlord to come with you to the police station. He has to show them a copy of the rent contract. The fees are regularly paid by the landlord.
