The Unified Biometric System (UBS) in 2026 is a mandatory requirement for living and working in Russia. Without verified biometrics, you will not be able to open an account in a Russian bank, obtain a Russian SIM card, or access government services online. The biometric submission process for foreigners is complex, but our "turnkey" service solves all problems: from passport translation to a ready digital profile in just a few days.
What is the UBS and why does a foreigner need it?
The Unified Biometric System (UBS) is a state platform for remote identification by face and voice. For foreign citizens, this is your digital passport in Russia, granting access to key services.
Benefits of verified biometrics for a foreigner:
-
Banking services: Remote account opening, obtaining loans, online banking.
-
Mobile communication: Obtaining a SIM card and eSIM. Since 2025, operators are required to verify the biometrics of foreigners.
-
Government services: Enhanced security on the Gosuslugi portal, obtaining a digital signature (UKEP).
-
Everyday services: Faster hotel check-in and service at MFCs.
Why is submitting biometrics independently complicated?
To submit biometrics to the UBS, you need to complete 5 stages:
-
Notarized translation of the passport (2-3 days).
-
Obtaining SNILS — without it, full registration on Gosuslugi is impossible.
-
Creating and verifying an account on Gosuslugi. The key stage is a personal visit to a bank or MFC.
-
In-person submission of biometrics only at an accredited bank branch.
-
Waiting for data updates in the systems (up to 24 hours).
Pitfalls: data mismatch in documents, lack of necessary equipment at the bank, rejections due to filing errors. One mistake — and the process starts over.

Key Questions:
1. What is the Unified Biometric System (UBS) and why does a foreigner need it?
This is a state system for remote identification by face and voice. It is needed to open bank accounts, obtain a Russian SIM card, receive services online, and access the Gosuslugi portal.

Yes, to receive key services (banking, mobile communication since 2024-2025), having verified biometrics in the UBS is a mandatory requirement.
3. Where and how can a foreign citizen submit biometrics?
Only in person at an accredited bank branch (e.g., Sberbank, VTB) equipped with special equipment. It is impossible to do this remotely or via an app.

Yes, but only if a bank branch that provides both services simultaneously is chosen in advance. This saves significant time.
8. Is it safe to submit my biometric data to the UBS?
Yes, it is safe. The UBS is a state system. Data is stored in encrypted form on secure servers, and irreversible digital templates are used for identification.
