To legally reside in Russia, a foreign citizen must obtain permits, such as a work permit, work patent, temporary residence permit, residence permit or passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.
A prerequisite for obtaining any of these documents is the procedure of hand dactyloscopy - giving fingerprints.
Previously, this measure was not mandatory, but several years ago, after cases of foreigners attempting to enter Russia under a different name after deportation or violations of the law became more frequent, fingerprinting of foreign citizens was made a mandatory procedure.
In this article we will tell you what fingerprinting of migrants is, why fingerprint registration of foreign citizens is needed, as well as how and where to undergo fingerprinting.
Why is fingerprinting needed in Russia?
Fingerprinting in Russia is carried out not only for foreign citizens or criminals, but also for Russians themselves, for example, when applying for a biometric passport.
All information after fingerprinting is taken is stored in a database accessible to law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation. Fingerprinting of migrants in Russia is not a new phenomenon. Back in 2012, this type of registration for migrants was introduced in St. Petersburg, then on a voluntary basis. Since 2013, the order of the Federal Migration Service has made it mandatory for foreign citizens to undergo fingerprinting to obtain documents, making fingerprint registration mandatory for obtaining temporary residence permits, residence permits, work permits and patents. And from October 12, 2021, foreign citizens must also undergo mandatory fingerprint registration when acquiring Russian citizenship.
At the same time, the examination of fingerprints of foreign citizens is not only a measure to increase security within the country, it can also become life-saving for the foreigner himself: for example, in the event of loss of any documents, a foreign citizen can be easily identified by fingerprints.
