From the perspective of interaction and interpenetration of different branches of law, the concepts of "place of residence" and "place of stay" as means of individualization of a subject in public and private law are considered. The approaches of administrative, civil, housing, and tax legislation, as well as legislation on freedom of movement, are summarized and critically analyzed. Three main blocks of problems in the criminal law branches of law concerning the place of residence have been identified: the conceptual framework, the connection between the appointment and serving of punishment and the place of residence, the place of stay of a citizen, and the validity of qualifying the place of serving of punishment for those sentenced to imprisonment as the place of stay.
