Step #1. Simplified registration
Let's start registration this way.
Click on the “Register” button in the right block of the main page:
We fill out a simple form: indicate your last name, first name, cell phone number, email address.
Click “Register” and wait for an SMS message with a code to arrive on your phone. When the code arrives, enter it in the field and click “Continue” again.

To fully use the portal, you need to know how to register on “State Services” with an account increased (standard) level.
Step #2. Standard registration
After successful simplified registration, the system transfers the user to a page with a form for filling out personal data.
At this stage, SNILS and passport details will be useful.
Advice: Complete your personal data with your TIN number, details of your compulsory medical insurance policy, driver’s license, birth certificate, military ID. In case you lose one of the listed documents, the data can be easily found in the Personal Account of the State Services.
After filling in all fields, click “Continue”. The system will begin checking the entered data - according to the information provided on the website, the duration of the check ranges from 5 minutes to 5 days. There is no need to wait for the verification to be completed in front of a computer screen. Close the site and do other things - You will be notified of a successful State Services check via SMS.
After receiving the treasured message, you become the owner standard account.
Step 3: Identity Verification
To enjoy all the privileges on the State Services website, you need to obtain a personal code. Log in to your Personal Account and click on the “Proceed to Identity Confirmation” button.
You will see that the system offers three identification methods:
Personal application to the service center: a multifunctional center in your city or a Russian post office - you need to go there, taking your passport with you. You can see where the nearest service centers are located using Yandex.Maps on the State Services website.
Enter the address into the search engine, select the desired service and preferred opening hours of the center and click “Find”. The results are displayed not only on the map, but also in the form of a list of addresses.
The list will also display the approximate distance from your place of residence to the service center.
This identification method is usually used by those citizens who need to receive a service urgently. Employees of the service center verify the passport data, give the applicant an envelope containing a confirmation code inside, and tell the individual how to register on the State Services website completely.
Registered letter by mail. This method is the most convenient, because to order a letter with a code through Russian Post you don’t even need to get up from the couch. You will have to wait about 2 weeks. Previously, there was no need to visit the post office (the postman brought the letter directly to the apartment), but now it is necessary, and the site focuses the user’s attention on this. The letter is issued when the customer presents a passport.
After receiving the letter, proceed as follows:
- Find the code in the letter and log into your Personal Account at Gosuslugi.
- Follow the path “My data” to “General data” and click “Go to editing”.
- Enter the code from the letter and click “Check”.
A day after ordering a letter, the tracking service becomes available - with its help you can find out at what stage of delivery the letter is. A link to the route appears in the code confirmation block.
Please note: If you used the code from the letter to confirm your identity, you will not receive access to the taxpayer’s Personal Account on the official website of the Federal Tax Service www.nalog.ru. Therefore, the State Services website recommends applying for identification in person.
Confirmation using an electronic signature or UEC. Although this confirmation method is the fastest, it is not popular. You can obtain an electronic signature at one of the accredited centers, the current list of which is published on the portal of the Ministry of Telecom and Mass Communications.
The UEC card was discontinued on January 1, 2017, but if the card has not expired, it can still be used to authorize and confirm your account. Additionally, you will need to install a reader and a special Web browser plugin.
This method is often used by legal entities that use electronic signatures regularly.
Upon completion of registration, the system will send you a congratulatory message. After this, log back into your Personal Account - you will find that all services on the portal have become available to you.
Today, an account on the State Services portal is not a mandatory requirement for citizens of the Russian Federation, but having an account simplifies working with many government organizations. The advantage of this site is the ability to submit an application via the Internet, but in some cases this will require proof of identity.
A profile on State Services contains a lot of important information about the user, starting with his contacts and ending with the data of all official documents. Thanks to the availability of such information, applications from the user are accepted for consideration via the Internet. But employees of government agencies need confidence that a real person is asking for documents, so registration on the portal has several forms of confirmation.
There are 3 stages of registration, at each of which the citizen must enter certain data and confirm it:
- Initial registration with email and phone number;
- Profile confirmation by specifying passport data;
- Final proof of identity.
Only after you have confirmed your identity accordingly will you gain access to all functions of the portal. Some of them are available during initial registration. For example, viewing information on fines. But only a confirmed user can replace the passport. There are a lot of functions that require identity verification; they take up most of the site’s capabilities.
Identity verification through User Service Centers
The most popular method of identity verification for State Services is visiting the User Service Center. Despite the name, these are not separate institutions. Branches of banks, the Pension Fund, as well as other authorized organizations can act as CSCs. You can find out their addresses and work schedule on the State Services portal itself.
- Then click on the “Service Center” button;
On the map that opens, you can find a suitable center where you can confirm your identity for the State Services website.
If the user previously had a profile on the portal, but access to it is lost and a new account is created, it is recommended to confirm the identity through the Pension Fund of Russia branches.
At the time of the visit, the citizen must have a passport and SNILS with him, the details of which are indicated in the profile. You will need to fill out an application on site and present documents. Over the course of some time, the account status will be confirmed and the user will be able to work with his personal account as he requires.
If necessary, you can create a personal account directly when visiting the Customer Service Center. Even if a “pre-registration” has not been created. In this case, a verified account will be created immediately.
Through MFC - My Documents
You can confirm your identity at the MFC. Any multifunctional center will do, as they operate without being tied to a specific place of residence. However, unlike User Service Centers, it is impossible to initially create a personal account here. To confirm the identity, the user will need initial registration with State Services, a passport and SNILS.
MFC employees will first require the login and password for the account to verify its existence. After which the data from the documents provided by the citizen will be verified with those indicated in the profile. If the information matches, no more than 30 minutes later an SMS will be sent to the user’s mobile phone notifying them of successful identity confirmation.
Identity confirmation with electronic signature
The fastest way to start working on State Services in full format is to confirm your identity using an enhanced qualified electronic signature. The portal even has a special form for logging in via electronic signature. In order to use it in the future, as well as gain access to the portal’s capabilities, at the registration stage after creating a standard account, you must select electronic signature confirmation.
Next, a special window will open, where the need to connect a removable storage device with an electronic signature to the computer will be indicated. Please note that the remaining connected devices should be removed. After the computer recognizes the flash drive with data, just click “Finish”. In some cases, it is impossible to log into your account using an electronic signature, so you must check this box in the settings in advance.
You will find detailed information on how to obtain an electronic signature in this article.
Russian Post
Just as in the case of an electronic signature, you must select “Confirmation by registered mail” at the time of registration. Next, a field will open to indicate the user’s home address. A registered letter with a confirmation code will be sent to this address. It must be entered into the appropriate field in the profile settings.
This method works, since only the addressee can receive a registered letter after presenting a passport. The postal employee is obliged to check the details of the envelope and the visitor and obtain his signature. This method is the slowest, as you will need to wait for the letter. You can track at what stage the registered letter is in the user’s personal account on State Services.
Checking the status of a registered letter is possible only after it has been sent. Sending letters to confirm an account on State Services is carried out one day after the user indicates his address on the website.
Each method of identity verification has its own advantages and disadvantages. If any difficulties arise in the procedure, you must call the State Services hotline to clarify further actions.

At the same time, registering an individual in the Personal Account of the State Services website takes very little time. The procedure for creating a new account has its own nuances, which will be discussed in this article.
How to register on the site?
If a person has registered at least once on Internet portals, then he probably already has an idea of how an individual registers on the State Services portal. By going to the official website, on the main page the user can see a block with two large buttons – Login and Register. If you don’t yet have an account on www.gosuslugi.ru, you need to click on the second button.
Important: anyone can register on the website and gain access to the Unified Identification and Authentication System (Unified System of Identification and Authentication), the service is provided free of charge.
Next, you will see a form that is standard for the registration procedure on most sites, in which you must enter your valid (real) first name, last name and contact information (email address or telephone number) in the correct format.
Attention: when registering, you will need access to the specified phone number and email address.
After clicking on the blue Register button, an individual will be sent a letter to the specified email or SMS with a combination of numbers to confirm registration on the State Services website.
Important: if you use a mobile phone for registration, it is better to keep it handy, since the code sent to the specified number will be valid for only 300 seconds, after which it will no longer be possible to enter it into the account confirmation column.
After activating your account in one of the following ways (using an SMS code or a link in a letter sent by email), you will need to create a password to log into the site.
Your profile on State Services will contain personal data, in particular information from your passport and SNILS, so it is important to protect your account with a strong password. For a password to have a high degree of security, it must be composed taking into account the following points:
- minimum password length – 8 characters;
- it must contain Latin capital letters;
- the password must contain numbers;
- identical signs should not be located next to each other;
- The password must use punctuation marks, for example, !?;)
- The special characters * and # should not be present in the password.
A hint will be visible under the password entry field indicating its strength. A password that meets all of the above criteria will have a very high degree of reliability, which means that personal data will be protected from unauthorized persons.
User account
After completing these simple steps, the user will see a message about the successful completion of registration and will be automatically redirected to the site after 3 seconds.
Simplified notation
At this stage, the person is the owner of the simplified account. It provides the opportunity to view information about services, contact the portal’s support service, pay traffic fines, find out legal debt and pay it off online. But all other services will be unavailable, so next you need to “upgrade” your account from simplified to standard.
Standard recording
As you can see, simply registering on the Gosuslugi.ru portal is not enough if you want to use all the functionality of the official website. It will be possible to receive government services only after entering personal data into your profile and confirming your identity. To convert the record to a standard one, it is enough to indicate your passport data and .
Note: foreign citizens living in the Russian Federation also have the right to create a standard type account. But the condition for this is to receive SNILS from the Pension Fund at the place of registration.
Owners of a standard account have access to a wider range of services, in particular, it becomes possible to issue an extract from a pension fund and register a vehicle. After entering the passport data and indicating the SNILS number, the information received will be verified and reconciled with the database in the Pension Fund and the Federal Migration Service. This procedure may require approximately 15 minutes of waiting time.
Verified Entry
After receiving a standard type account, registration on State Services cannot yet be called 100% complete. To get full access you need to have a verified account. After all the data has been entered in your Personal Account, you need to confirm your identity using one of the methods provided for this:
- by visiting the MFC in person (you need to have your passport with you);
- using ;
- using the access code received by registered mail.

It will be possible to draw up documents (foreign passport, driver’s license, etc.), enroll children in kindergarten, register at the place of residence, and much more.
If you choose the option of confirming your identity by letter by mail, you need to keep in mind that the services provided by the Tax Service will not be available. In addition, to receive a letter you will have to visit the post office, so this method is considered the most inconvenient.
