Is a RuID Required for a Child Who is a Citizen of Tajikistan to Enter Russia to Join Their Mother, a Russian Citizen?

Question

I am a Russian citizen, but my 13-year-old child does not have Russian citizenship. He is a citizen of Tajikistan. I want to bring him to Russia. How can he create a RuID?

Answer

The child can enter without a RuID if he has a valid entry document and complies with the usual border crossing rules.

For minors, it is important to check the child’s documents, any required exit consents/permissions from the country of departure, and documents confirming accompaniment or the purpose of the trip.
