The decision to cancel the validity of the certificate is made by the head of the authorized body at the place of residence and informs the IDP within three days from date of such a decision.
If the IDP did not report returning to an abandoned place of permanent residence, then the decision to cancel the validity of the certificate is made on the basis of information about the long-term absence of a person at his place of residence for more than 60 days.< /p>
If a person has good reasons for such a long absence from the place of residence, he must apply with an appropriate written application at the place of residence to the authorized body. In this case, the permitted period of stay outside the place of residence can be increased to 90 days.
