The era of building a bright communist future has entrenched in the minds of people (adults, of course) the idea that obtaining public services is associated with the need and inevitability of dutifully standing in long lines. And this association turned out to be so strong that today the Gosuslugi website, on which you can solve a lot of problems without leaving your home, is causing many distrust.
Public services out of turn
The portal is a single access point to all information systems about services and departments from the federal registry of public services in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. To process the electronic application, the site uses the information system of interagency interaction. Registration at the "State Services" opens up almost unlimited possibilities for the user. Without leaving your home, you can check your tax debt, pay traffic fines, apply for a replacement or driverās license, and much more.
It is possible that a good half of Russia's population does not even suspect the existence of this site, and those who know do not use it very actively. Many are simply poorly guided among the countless "cabinets" of a huge portal. Nevertheless, there are more people wishing to learn how to register on the State Services website.
How to get to the site?
By going to gosuslugi.ru, you will be taken to the site you are looking for. You will be warmly welcomed and, to begin with, you will be asked to indicate your place of residence, which you can do by clicking on the "Your Location" button at the very top. A little lower is a menu bar with three items: "State Services", "Authorities" and "Search for Services", which will open the contents and perform their functions at the request of anyone, including an unregistered user. Therefore, before registering for the State Services, it may be worth getting a closer look at the resource to which you are going to entrust your personal data.
The "Public Services" page provides a complete list of services offered by category. The section "Authorities" displays all the structures involved in the provision of public services. The "Search for services" field works the same as the search on the network, that is, the more specific the request, the more accurate you will get an answer.
Preparation of data for registration
However, let us return to the topic of the article, because, most likely, if the user is interested in how to register on the public services portal, he is already familiar with its capabilities. Therefore, click the "Register" button in the upper right (under the inscription "My Account"), briefly get acquainted with the information on the left and proceed to fill out the form on the right. But first, itās better to prepare a civil passport and a compulsory pension insurance certificate in advance (you need SNILS), as well as refresh your mobile phone number or email address, since you can register for the State Services by either either. You will be convinced of this if you click on the link āI donāt have a mobile phoneā - in this case you will be asked to enter an email address.
If, for example, you donāt have either of these, you can use someone elseās mail (with the consent of the owner, of course), because it doesnāt matter for the public services website which address is used, however, the same applies to the mobile phone number .
Register
Before clicking on the "Register" button, you can familiarize yourself with the terms of use, privacy policy, specifying some formalities on how to register for public services, but this acquaintance will not affect the further course of the procedure.
If a phone number has been indicated, wait for the news with a proposal to confirm it, which you will do by entering the verification code, which the State Services website will send to SMS immediately. And if an email address was specified, you will be sent a letter in which you will need to go to the proposed link.
We trust "State services" personal data
Then you will be taken to the "secret" page, where, cautiously looking around, you need to enter, confirm and save the password.
Accepting congratulations on the successful completion of such a simple procedure as registering on the State Services website, you can immediately proceed to receive government services that do not require verified data about you and your identity. But itās better to click the "Login and fill in personal data" button if you intend to become a full-fledged client of the site and use the vast range of services provided by the state without limit.
Fill out the form
Before you will be taken to a page with a form for filling in personal data, you will have to log in to your account using a phone number (or email address) and password. Upon entering, you will see your data already entered and the sentence "Go to editing".
We go over without thinking, click on the "Confirm" button, agreeing to confirm your account, and we get to the "Fill and verify your personal data" page, where we have to go through the first of the three stages of the confirmation process "Enter personal data".
Everything is extremely simple here, and by filling in all the fields, you can either continue or continue later (all information will be saved, since you can register at the State Services with interruptions).
We continue without delay
If everything is filled out correctly and completely by clicking the "Continue" button, we send personal data to an automatic check, the progress of which will be notified to us by the page that opens on the next stage of account verification. Pay attention to the markers to the left of the checked items "Check SNILS ..." and "Check data ...". The checked position is indicated by a green circle with a checkmark, which will appear immediately at SNILS (in any case quickly, if the number is correct), but next to the item "Data verification ..." two arrows will rotate in a circle for some time, catching up with each other friend.
While the āround-robin checkā is going on, you will understand that registering on the public services portal is not so difficult, and you will read below that the check will most often take only a few minutes, but it can take up to five days, however, it will continue even In case you close the page.
If everything worked out and the lower marker turned green, then the verification of your personal data is completed, which you will find out from SMS (if a mobile phone number was specified) or from a letter (if an email address was specified), and on the website you will be led to a fork in three options for further action.
We agree to verify your identity
The āSign in againā and āGo to the services catalogā buttons will open you access to an expanded list of public services, but to gain access to a number of other serious features, you can (rather, need to) immediately proceed to confirm your identity (although you can later, at any time )
By the way, if you doubt the appropriateness of confirming your account, take a look at the catalog of services already available to you and check if there is something for which you decided to register on the State Services website.
Verification of identity will maximize the capabilities of your account and unlimited use of all legally significant electronic services. Otherwise, you cannot, for example, apply for a passport, register at the place of residence or stay, register a car and much more. Therefore - no doubt, it is necessary to confirm.
Confirm
We proceed to confirmation, go through the familiar authorization procedure (now you can enter SNILS in addition to the phone number and email address) and again we are faced with a choice. Here you will be offered three ways to confirm that you are you.
After choosing the option "Contact in person" you will have to personally visit one of the proposed specialized service centers and arrange everything by presenting the document that was specified during registration.
If you prefer to receive a letter with a verification code by mail, provide a detailed address by filling out the form and order "Deliver." The letter can "rush" about 2 weeks (registered as well), but usually arrives earlier (5-7 days), and re-sending is possible no earlier than 30 days (if you didnāt read about it in a hurry), so just in case case, do not forget all the details of how to register at the State Services.
Electronic signature
The conditions for confirming your identity with an electronic signature or UEC are detailed in the message that appears on the page when you select this option. A list of accredited certification centers where you can get an electronic signature is published on the website of the Ministry of Communications of Russia, and UEC (Universal Electronic Card) can be obtained on the website of Authorized Organizations of the Russian Federation.
For information: an electronic signature is a certain set of characters in electronic form and attached to the document (also electronic), requiring confirmation of the signatory. The use of an electronic signature is intended to confirm identity when receiving state and municipal Internet services that require strict identification.
Personal Information
Having chosen the option of mailing, you will find yourself on the page "Personal Information" with a window for entering a code that is already on the way. In the meantime, you can check the basic information about yourself and, if necessary, edit it (the button at the top right) or add missing information, for example, TIN, phone numbers, details of a driverās license, etc.
If you have forgotten (or donāt know) your TIN, feel free to click on the link with a proposal to find it, and if it exists, in just a couple of minutes the number will appear and the āConfirmedā marker will turn green.
You can go to the "Account Settings" tab and in the "General" section change the password or specify a secret question with an answer in order to more reliably protect your account. In the "Security Events" section, you will be shown these events and will allow you to configure notifications.
After some time, when a letter with a confirmation code is sent to you, a link to the Russian Post service will appear on the personal data page, by which you can track the progress of sending the letter.
Finish
After receiving the letter, go to your personal account, enter the activation code in the special field and click "Next", read the long-awaited message and breathe a sigh of relief: "Your account has been activated." Now you are the owner of a luxurious personal account and you can count on any electronic service of the authorities. You can log in using the electronic signature and restore access to your profile by contacting the service center.
It is advisable not to postpone the operation of entering the code for later, because delays can turn into unpleasant surprises (for example, the code will be invalid) caused by any updates on the site (the portal is constantly being improved and modernized). Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, since you can send a second request and wait a couple of weeks again, but why?
But what if ...?
Finding out how to register with the State Services turned out to be not so difficult, but it turns out that sometimes the ordeals do not end there. Either the system gives an error about incomplete registration, denying the possibility of receiving services, it requires you to go through the full registration procedure, despite the fact that it has already been completed, then personal data refuses to be filled in, the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation has not confirmed the existence of an identity document , then the letter with the code does not come for a long time.
There can be many similar problems and each of them may require a separate discussion, but often the issues are resolved by the portal support service, which can be called for free by phone: 8 (800) 100-70-10 (in Russia). Sometimes in case of difficulties it is useful to clean cookies or switch to another browser.
