No Russian Number for RuID — Will I Be Turned Back at the Border?

Question

I cannot register for RuID because it redirects me to Gosuslugi, which requires a Russian phone number that is not supported by my operator. Will I be turned back at the border without RuID registration?

Answer

No. The mere absence of registration in RuID due to a technical issue or lack of a Russian number should not be a reason for being turned back at the border.

Enter with a valid passport and travel documents. If possible, save a screenshot of the error and later contact RuID or Gosuslugi technical support.
