Residents of the new regions who apply for Russian passport will automatically get personal insurance policy number, individual taxpayer’s number and personal account on the government services portal, said the Russian Economic Development Ministry.
“A new integrated service has been launched for residents of the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republic and Zaporozhye and Kherson regions,” the Ministry said adding that the service is provided thanks to “interaction between authorized government bodies which organize the process of naturalization in the new regions.”
“We want people to start enjoying the advantages of Russian citizenship as soon as possible,” Deputy Economic Development Minister Alexey Khersontsev said. “These include unique digital government services which have been developed in the country in the past decade.”
The Lugansk People’s Republic, Donetsk People’s Republic and Zaporozhye and Kherson regions acceded to Russia on September 30, 2022 following the unification referenda. *i*ie
