Check against the Ministry of Justice register of foreign agents and three wanted lists — before hiring, a contract, a payment or placing an advert. Full name and date of birth are enough: a match is confirmed by date of birth and tax number, and the result for each register comes as a separate line.
We check against data from:
Data is stored in Russia · Register of Russian software No. 19972 · Federal Law No. 152‑FZ
The law on control over persons under foreign influence lists restrictions for foreign agents — and some of them concern not the foreign agent but the one who hires them, pays them or places advertising with them.
The register is kept by the Ministry of Justice of Russia and published on its website. We match a person against the register by full name and confirm the match by date of birth and tax number.
255‑FZ, Art. 11, Parts 1, 2, 9, 17
255‑FZ, Art. 9, Part 14, 16; Art. 11, Parts 11–13, 21
38‑FZ, Art. 5, Part 10.5; 255‑FZ, Art. 11, Parts 10, 20; Art. 5, Part 4
Each check runs on its own or together with others in one request. The card shows the source, what comes back in the response and which data is needed. The full catalogue is on the database checks page.

Learn moreRegisters search in different ways: some know only the full name, others require the full date of birth. The more data you send, the fewer namesakes come back in the response.
The foreign agents register and the Rosfinmonitoring list work by full name.
Confirmation — by date of birth and tax number from the register entry.
Police wanted list does not run without a full date of birth: it is used to filter out namesakes.
Incomplete date — the check is marked as skipped and the reason comes in the response.
Bailiffs’, prison service wanted lists and alimony debtors search by full name and date of birth.
Patronymic improves accuracy but is not required for the bailiffs.
A passport opens all 16 basic checks: validity, tax number and everything that works by full name.
Without manual entry — recognition in KYC session from 16 ₽.
Tax number from the passport makes the match against the foreign agents register unambiguous.
No tax number — matched by date of birth, and the match is flagged.
A passport from 195+ countries and territories is recognised without manual entry.
The police register of controlled persons and international screening — from the document data.
The check is started by your system or a security officer. The person does not have to do anything if the full name and date of birth are already in the form.
Full name, date of birth and tax number are taken from the candidate’s form, the contract or the counterparty card. If there is no data, the person photographs their passport in a KYC session, and the fields arrive without retyping.
Your system sends a request with the checks you need: the foreign agents register, Police, prison service and bailiffs’ wanted lists, watchlists and sanctions. The response immediately returns a run number, and the result is collected by it.
For each check — whether the source was queried and what it found: entries with a date, a ground and a proceedings number. The officer sees the matches and decides themselves; the report stays in the card.
In the foreign agents register the full name, date of birth and tax number matched — it is the same person. In the wanted lists the full name and full date of birth matched. The entry comes with a ground, a decision date or a proceedings number.
Only the surname and first name matched, while the date of birth in the register is different or missing. This is a namesake until proven otherwise: compare the date of birth, region and tax number, and do not refuse automatically.
If a register did not respond, the run is repeated. If there was not enough data, the check is marked as skipped, and the missing fields come in the response. The service never returns an empty result in place of a real one.
The bailiffs’ wanted list is public until the person is found or the search is ended, so an entry may disappear on the next check. Keep the result as of the request date in the card — you can show it to an auditor.
The check is most often connected where the law directly links foreign agent status to a company’s action: hiring, a payment, a procurement or advertising.
Before an appointment to the governing bodies of a state corporation, to teaching work in a state or municipal educational organisation and to work with significant critical information infrastructure facilities. Wanted lists — in the same run.
A company pays a person for the lease or purchase of property and vehicles, royalties or dividends. If the recipient is on the register, the payment goes to the special account from the register, otherwise the obligation may be considered unperformed.
Interest on deposits and dividends of a foreign agent are credited to a special account. The status of the client and the beneficiary — on onboarding and before a payout.
Before placing advertising with a blogger or on a website, and before an integration. Advertising on a foreign agent’s resource is not permitted.
Before inviting a lecturer or speaker: a foreign agent may not carry out educational outreach or produce products for minors.
An individual or sole trader participant — before the contract is signed: a foreign agent may not take part in procurement. A company participant — by tax number on the counterparty check page.
The foreign agents register and the wanted lists change: a person can end up in them after you have checked them. Repeat the check at the points where an action depends on the status.
The status does not forbid working with a person altogether. But it changes the procedure for certain actions — and it is better to find out before a payment or a publication.
Rent, sale of property, royalties, interest and dividends are paid to the foreign agent’s special rouble account. The account details are published in the Ministry of Justice register.
Distributing advertising on a foreign agent’s resource is not permitted. A check before placement removes the risk of paying for an integration that cannot be released.
A foreign agent may not carry out educational outreach. The programme of the event is rebuilt before the announcement, not after.
A foreign agent does not take part in procurement under 44‑FZ and 223‑FZ and does not hold the positions listed in the law. The decision is made by your lawyer based on the check report.
Consent, law or contract
Processing is allowed with the person’s consent, to perform duties under the law, for a contract to which they are a party, or if the data is subject to publication under a federal law. Which ground is yours is for your company to decide.
The data is published by law
The Ministry of Justice publishes the foreign agents register on its website. Information on a debtor’s wanted status in the bailiffs’ database is public until the person is found or the search is ended.
From 1 September 2025
If the ground is consent, it is drawn up separately from other documents the person signs: specific, purposeful and informed.
Notify and obtain written consent
If an employee’s data can only be obtained from a third party, the employer notifies them in advance and obtains written consent — stating the purposes, sources and methods of obtaining it.
Not by automation alone
An employer may not make decisions affecting an employee’s interests solely on the basis of automated processing. The report is material for a specialist, not an automatic refusal.
152‑FZ
Only for legal entities and sole traders under a contract
Data in Russia
Information on a criminal record and criminal prosecution is confirmed by a Ministry of Internal Affairs certificate — the person obtains it themselves, and the employer requires it only where the law provides for it. In the databases we see criminal cases in courts of general jurisdiction and wanted lists, but they do not replace the certificate.
We work only with public registers: the wanted lists of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the prison service and the bailiffs, and the Ministry of Justice register. Operational records and wanted lists run by other states are not part of the check.
The foreign agents register is matched by the person’s full name. The check does not cover the unified register of persons affiliated with foreign agents or the list of undesirable organisations; check a company by tax number on the counterparty check page.
The service works only with legal entities and sole traders under a contract — for hiring, deals and client onboarding. You cannot check yourself or an acquaintance through NeuroVision.
You pay for completed checks — no subscription fee. A check skipped for lack of data is not charged.
5 ₽ per check
The foreign agents register, Police, prison service and bailiffs’ wanted lists, alimony debtors — each check separately.
All basic Russian checks by passport: foreign agents, three wanted lists, the Rosfinmonitoring list, sanctions, passport, tax number, bailiffs, bankruptcy, courts. Separately — 80 ₽.
36 ₽ per check
PEP, sanctions and adverse media for foreigners and international deals.
Passport data without manual entry — a KYC session from 16 ₽, with liveness — from 29 ₽. The register of controlled persons of the Ministry of Internal Affairs — 5 ₽. Trial period — 1 month.
The check is started by your system, a KYC scenario or an employee — depending on where the full name and date of birth appear on your side.
Payment for completed checks. The data retention period is set in the scenario. Support — through a ticket system.
In brief: the terms you meet in the law, in the registers and in the check report.
Checks, lists and false matches — in our blog.
Send the full name — via the API, from a KYC session or in the console. We match it against the Ministry of Justice register and confirm the match by the date of birth and tax number from the register entry. The check costs 5 ₽.
A foreign agent receives income from the sale and lease of property and vehicles, royalties, interest and dividends only to a special account, and only such crediting counts as proper performance. It is worth checking the recipient’s status before paying.
The law bars a foreign agent from certain positions: in public authorities, in the governing bodies of state corporations, teaching in state and municipal educational organisations, and work with significant critical information infrastructure facilities. For other positions the law has no direct ban — the decision is made by your lawyer.
Three public databases: the Police wanted list, the prison service wanted list and the bailiffs’ wanted list, plus the register of alimony debtors. These are separate checks in one run, 5 ₽ each.
The full name and the full date of birth: it is used to filter out namesakes. Without the full date the check is marked as skipped and is not charged.
Compare the date of birth, tax number and region. A match by full name alone is more often a namesake. The decision is made by an employee, not the system: by law an employer cannot decide solely on the basis of automated processing.
You determine the ground for processing as the operator: consent, law, contract or data subject to publication. For candidates and employees, if the data is obtained from a third party, notification and written consent are required.
No. A certificate is issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it can be required only where the law provides for it. We show wanted lists and cases in courts of general jurisdiction.
Distributing advertising on the information resource of a foreign agent is not permitted. Check the status of the resource owner before placing — it costs 5 ₽.
Before every action that depends on the status: a contract, a payout, publishing advertising or an event programme. You can recheck the whole base on your own schedule through the API.
No. NeuroVision works only with legal entities and sole traders under a contract.
Foreign agents and each wanted list — 5 ₽ each, all 16 basic passport checks — 50 ₽, international screening — 36 ₽. Trial period — 1 month.
