    Anyone can register a .RU - there's no resident or citizenship required, so I don't understand why the site requires a passport number.

    I'd be interested in this offer if passport info was removed & knowing what the renewal cost is (it didn't list it , but shows a $5.88 Euro price for registration

    To be honest, no one in Russia is interested in your passport data, it's just that the registration procedure is such that it is mandatory to provide passport data when registering domains in the .ru zone. But you can specify non-real passport data, anyway it is not checked by anyone at the time of registration. But there may be problems if you want to transfer the domain to another registrar in the future.

    It is indeed checked in registration, I don't want to name, but someone on LET had quite some issues 2 times getting a .ru

    And even @AvaHosting went through some type of KYC since the domain is verified:

    The verified status doesn't mean much. My account with the Russian registrar has the verified status on one domain, but the verified status is not on the other domain. Although both domains are in the same account, they have the same data :D

    Just like in gTLD registrars, they ask you to provide real data and warn that if you provide fake data, you may have problems, and in Russia, but it is during domain registration that the data is not checked, because in order to verify it, you would need to upload a photo or scan of your passport - such a request during regular domain registration registrars don't.

    They will just reject your domain until you KYC

    This is the first time I've seen a registrar request a scanned passport in Russia when registering a domain. This is the exception rather than the rule. FE.ru - This is some kind of small "pocket" registrar with its own rules. In Russia, major registrars are considered to be:
    1. nic.ru
    2. reg.ru
    3. r01.ru
    4. webnames.ru

    All the others are either small registrars or created to backorder domains.

    Here are some points of the ru domain regulations:

    1. The Registrar has the right to verify information provided by the administrator
      or stored in the Registry related to the domain name and
      the administrator, requesting clarifications and/or supporting
      documents from the administrator. The request must contain a warning about the consequences of its failure to comply with the deadline. The request is sent to the administrator by e-mail.

    2. The administrator is obliged to fulfill the request for clarifications and
      documents within seven days from the date of the registrar's referral.
      the corresponding request. At the reasoned request of the administrator, the registrar
      has the right to set an additional deadline for the provision of supporting
      documents.

    Do you see the difference? The registrar has the right to verify the domain administrator's data, but nowhere does it say that the administrator IS REQUIRED to provide a passport or other verification data.

    Yes, .ru and .su domains are known to require KYC aka passport/ID copies. But from my experience they simply require a copy of your passport, but will not verify its validity or something, and for sure many people just uploaded fake passport IDs.

    .ru makes up the highest percentage of incoming spam of my mailboxes, despite this KYC requirement.

    It's funny, those who don't live in Russia are arguing with those who live in Russia about the rules of the .ru domain zone. It's real funny.

  • BasstaBassta Member

    My advice to you is if you want a .ru or .su and if you want to be safe, use www.reg.com - It is currently the largest registrar in Russia. Provide your real details and feel great. They don't require any passport scans just like that)

    I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm describing my experience, and I've been dealing with domains for over 20 years, both in Russia and globally. And of course I'm talking about my experience, you sent me a screenshot of the letter from the registrar. fe.ru I have answered you about this registrar and where it is worth registering domains and what requirements the coordinator of the .ru zone has for administrators, that's all)

    You didn't explicitly say impossible, but can be assumed if you said no one checks for it.

    This might be a case-by-case thing, as my .ru domains have been working fine without any sort of verification of the random passport number I typed.

    Of course it is, but it's not like some people here are implying that it doesn't get checked. Check the WHOIS of your domain and you'll probably have the UNVERIFIED status.

    Yes it’s unverified but I haven’t faced any issues while using it

    Bought a .ru just fine, second time I went to buy another .ru they asked for papers.

    Hmmm...

    Registrars do not require or check anything from Russian residents B)

    Perhaps the fact is that we fill out the registration form in Cyrillic, and foreigners in Latin, and that's the whole point :D But in all the time I've been registering .ru domains, I've never come across a registrar requesting documents from me.

    It is best for foreigners to use reg.com imho...

    We are neutral provider. We don't care about those things. That is why there is a thread to talk about that in LET.

    However, this promotion remains active! Get your .ru domain!

    It's funny nobody mention the official requirements from the Russian government.

    9.2.5. The following identification data for individual Registrants shall be stored in the registry: 1)
    last name, first name, and patronymic;
    2) date of birth;
    3) place of residence;
    4) data on the Registrant’s identification document (series and number of a document, issuance
    date and name of the issuing authority).

    And they will keep your personal data for more than 25 years. :D

    9.2.2. In order to ensure reliable operation of the registration system, all modifications in the
    registry shall be saved in full throughout the domain’s life cycle and up to twenty five years
    afterwards.

    https://cctld.ru/files/pdf/docs/en/rules_ru-rf.pdf

    And since Russia is an unstable dictatorship at war, known for designating individuals as foreign agents, sentencing them in absentia to long prison terms for minor offenses, and subsequently issuing international arrest warrants, I would strongly recommend that you do not provide them with any personal data. Especially if you are from a country that maintains any kind of relationship with Russia.

    Instead, choose a more neutral TLD from a free country.

    Sure, but that is the rules to register .ru, what we have to do with .ru rules?
    Now, about WAR. We need to be neutral since we aren't politicals or anyone to solve that.

    If you send your passport to Russians, nothing stops them from using it to send GRU agents to EU with it since the data is valid and can be reprinted.

    Though the chances of them doing so is close to zero.

    There is no neutrality in war. But you do you.

    Fact is, people will choose not to register .ru for a good reason. Try .md, .ro, or something of the sort..
