Is RuID Required for Truck Drivers Transiting Through Russia?

Question

We are a Kazakhstani company, and our trucks are crossing Russia in transit, with the final destination being Armenia. Do drivers need to register for RuID?

Answer

Yes, if a foreign driver is actually entering the territory of Russia, it is advisable to obtain RuID in advance if it is required for their nationality and route.

Transit through the territory of Russia does not always exempt one from entry rules. Additionally, check the documents for the cargo, the route, visa requirements, and regulations for international transport drivers.
