The ruID mobile app is the official application created for foreign citizens and stateless persons who are planning to enter or are already on the territory of the Russian Federation. The app enables users to fill out an entry application, obtain information about any entry restrictions, and provides convenient, secure, and multifunctional access to Russian government services.
As of 2025, new entry conditions to the Russian Federation have come into effect. Now foreign citizens are required to submit an entry application and provide biometric data prior to crossing the border. The ruID app allows users to complete all these steps remotely in just a few clicks.
• Submission of an entry application (purpose, dates, route, children).
• Biometric submission: facial photo, passport photo, voice recording.
• Check of entry clearance status
Submission of entry application
• A convenient form for filling out an application for a planned entry into Russia (visa-free regime).
• Ability to specify travel dates, purpose of visit, route, and accompanying children's data.
• If necessary — adding the reason for urgent entry with supporting documents.
Biometrics
• Submission of facial photo, passport photo, and voice recording for preliminary biometric identification.
• Data verification via the Unified Biometric System (EBS).
Digital Profile
• Automatic creation of a unique profile ID (Digital Profile ID for Foreign Citizens), combining all user data: full name, citizenship, documents, SNILS, INN, visas, entry/exit records, employment, information about children, etc.
• Viewing digital profile data.
QR Code
• Generation of a personal QR code containing information from the digital profile after account verification and border crossing.
• Ability to present the QR code along with an identity document to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other agencies.
Integration with Gosuslugi
• Authorization via ESIA (Unified Identification and Authentication System).
• Ability to register an ESIA account, including support for registration without a phone number or SNILS, and upgrade the account to standard level after entering Russia if the entry application was submitted in advance.
• Web access to government services after entering Russia.
Services and Notifications
• Access to electronic services via webview interface: employment documents, visas, SNILS issuance, INN, patents, and work permits.
• Notifications about verification statuses, biometric registration results, and document processing.
• Updating personal data, editing and canceling applications.
Multilingual Interface
• Support for Russian, English, and CIS languages (Tajik, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Armenian).
Additional Functions
• Display of trips and entry/exit history.
• Viewing attached documents: passport, visas, SNILS, etc.
The ruID app is the key to digital government services for foreigners in Russia — from planning a trip to full digital identification and service access. It ensures transparency, control, and simplicity in interactions with state authorities at all stages of stay in the Russian Federation.
Заполнение данных документа временно недоступно. Служба поддержки знает о проблеме и решает её.

I have been trying to fill out the form, but every time I press on, it shows: “Заполнение данных документа временно недоступно. Служба поддержки знает о проблеме и решает её. Попробуйте позже”. This is especially frustrating because I plan to fly to Russia in the next few weeks, and this app is the only way to get that registration. I don’t have a Russian passport nor a Russian phone number. Please, let me know what I should do in this situation.

У меня аккаунтом вроде все нормально, но не какой реакции. Оно вроде должен дать QR код так? или как я могу проверить себя запрет на въезд?
Developer Response
Виджет ЭЛАП в состоянии «Предъявить QR-код» отображается пользователю, если он заполнил информацию о поездке, сдал биометрию, въехал на территорию РФ и имеет подтвержденную учетную запись. Вы сможете проверить данные в реестре через Госуслуги или на сайте МВД: https://www.gosuslugi.ru/help/faq/control_registry/112535
We made the “Log In” button more noticeable, so signing into your account now takes just a couple of seconds.
