These are state registered securities that have been issued to citizens since 1992 for privatization and housing construction. The cost of the check depends on the region. For Minsk, the index is 58.331, which is fixed by the decision of the Minsk City Executive Committee of July 23, 2026 No. 3071.

Citizens and members of their families who are registered in need of improving housing conditions can use checks. The funds are directed to the purchase of housing, the first installment in housing, shared construction, individual or collective construction, reconstruction of single-apartment and blocked houses, as well as to repay loans and loans for these purposes.

It is possible to transfer the papers to another person only in three cases: under a notarial contract of donation to close relatives - spouse, parents, children, adoptive parents, adopted, siblings, grandfather, grandmother or grandchildren, by inheritance, or by court decision.

It is important to note that citizens who have not re-registered the check with Belarusbank before January 1, 2007 (due to inconsistency of grounds or due to a missed deadline) will not be able to use it, since the outdated document has been declared invalid.

At the moment, the term of circulation of checks "Housing" is not limited. To index them, you need to contact the administration of the district at the place of registration of those in need (or where the citizen was registered at the time of the loan) through the service "One Window". You should take a passport, Housing checks and an extract from a special (check) account, a gift agreement if available, an estimate for the construction or reconstruction of a house or documents on the cost of building materials, as well as a certificate of construction debt, if applicable.
