A foreign worker, a self-employed contractor, a candidate for a staff job — each has their own rules. We read documents without manual entry and check the person against the registers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the tax service and the bailiffs, while notifications to the Ministry, consents and the hiring decision stay with you.
Each card shows which checks are needed in that situation and what stays with the employer. A detailed page for each task will appear in this section.
Foreign workers and contractors
Documents without manual entry and register checks before the contract or the first payment.
A foreign national's passport from 195+ countries and territories goes into the HR system without retyping: Latin script, Cyrillic, MRZ. Document authenticity, the register of controlled persons, wanted lists and the social insurance number — before the person starts work. The patent and migration registration are checked in the Ministry's services.
Self-employed status — before every payment; the contractor's passport and tax number — without manual entry; one contractor — one account, based on the document data. Wanted lists and bailiff records — before access to orders.
A nanny, a carer or a handyman comes to the client's home. With the contractor's consent — passport validity, wanted lists, enforcement proceedings and court cases before the first visit.
Candidates, security and remote teams
Only with the person's consent; the decision stays with the employer.
With the candidate's written consent: passport, social insurance number and tax number, enforcement proceedings, court cases, links to companies and nominee directorships. A person makes the hiring decision, not an algorithm.
A security guard candidate — with their consent: passport validity, wanted lists of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the prison service and the bailiffs, cases in courts of general jurisdiction. The guard's licence is issued by Rosgvardia — we do not replace that check.
A candidate nobody has seen in person: a passport free of editing traces and screen photos, data checked against databases. Confirming that the same person appears in a video interview is in preparation, pending a legal assessment under 572‑FZ.
Three situations — three different laws: a foreign national under an employment or civil-law contract, a candidate for a staff job, a self-employed contractor.
NeuroVision reads documents and checks the person against registers. Notifications to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, consents, HR documents and the hiring decision stay with you.

A person may appear in the register after hiring — a check at hiring does not guarantee the status will not change. Cash a month for a person on the register — 30 000 ₽. A check in NeuroVision — 5 ₽.
Foreign nationals with no lawful grounds to stay in Russia: the period of stay, temporary residence permit or residence permit has expired, the document has been annulled, a decision on expulsion, deportation or undesirability of stay has been made, or a guilty verdict has been issued.
Registering sole traders and companies, buying property and cars, driving, marrying, changing their place of residence without permission and leaving the region. Banking operations are restricted: no more than RUB 30,000 a month can be withdrawn in cash.
The law sets no direct obligation, and the Ministry does not tell the employer that an employee has been entered in the register. But a person on the register has no lawful grounds to be in the country — take any decision on such an employee with a lawyer.
Free on the Ministry's website — one person at a time. In NeuroVision — by full name and date of birth, in batches at hiring and again for current employees, with the check date in the report.
First — the candidate's consent as a separate document, then — the check. The result suggests what to ask in the interview; you make the hiring decision. Step-by-step candidate check.
A platform or customer pays hundreds of contractors. Self-employed status can change any day, and a mistake in one payment means contributions — and, across the system, a reclassification risk.
Check the professional income tax payer status before every payment or before a batch in a payment register — not only at registration. Check by Russian passport; the system determines the tax number itself.
The passport is read from a photo and the tax number is determined from it. One contractor — one account: duplicates by passport number and tax number are visible at registration.
For services where the contractor visits the client or gets access to their belongings — wanted lists of the Ministry and the bailiffs, enforcement proceedings and court cases, with the contractor's consent.
If the contractor worked for you under an employment contract less than two years ago, their income is not taxable under the self-employed regime. Databases cannot confirm this: check against HR records.
Verifying employees and contractors in three steps: documents, database checks, a report in the employee's record.
The Russian passport, a foreign passport, a residence permit, a temporary residence permit and the social insurance card are read from a scan or photo and arrive as JSON fields. The MRZ is matched against the visual zone, and the document is checked for forgery and editing traces.
A Russian citizen — passport validity, tax number, social insurance number, self-employed status, bailiff records, wanted lists and courts. A foreign national — the register of controlled persons, wanted lists and watchlists by full name and date of birth.
For each check — the result, the source, the date and the records found. HR makes the decision; you can repeat the check before renewing a contract or making a payment.
Six products of one platform. Connect only what you need — you pay for completed checks.
The Russian passport, a foreign passport and passports of 195+ countries and territories — fields and MRZ in JSON within seconds.
Residence permits, temporary residence permits, social insurance cards, questionnaires and applications — 16,000+ document types; your own forms by template.
Passport validity, tax number, social insurance number, bailiffs, wanted lists, courts, links to companies — more than 30 checks from RUB 5.
A foreign worker — against the Ministry register by full name and date of birth, at hiring and again later.
Whether someone is a professional income tax payer — by passport, before payment. Included in the package of 16 checks.
Forged and edited documents, screen photos — 40+ checks before the document reaches the HR system.
The register of controlled persons. Manually — the Ministry website, one person at a time; NeuroVision — by full name and date of birth, in batches and repeatedly.
Self-employed status. Manually — the tax service by tax number; NeuroVision — by Russian passport, the tax number is determined automatically.
Wanted lists, bailiffs, courts. Manually — each website separately; NeuroVision — one request — all the checks you need.
Passport into the employee's record. Manually — typing it in; NeuroVision — recognition within seconds.
People with the same name. Manually — you filter them out yourself; NeuroVision — matching by date of birth and tax number.
Proof of the check. Manually — screenshots; NeuroVision — a report with the date, source and records.
Patent and work permit. Manually — the Ministry service; NeuroVision — not covered — check on the Ministry website.
Notification of a contract with a foreign national. Manually — the state services portal or the Ministry; NeuroVision — not covered — the employer files it.
The register of controlled persons and self-employed status can be checked for free on the agencies' websites, one person at a time. When there are dozens of candidates and contractors a week, the manual way stops working.
A fixed price per check, with no subscription fee. Checks skipped for lack of data are not billed.
5 ₽ per check
The register of controlled persons, self-employed status, passport validity, wanted lists, bailiffs — each separately.
50 ₽ per package (3.125 ₽ per check)
16 key checks by one Russian passport, including self-employed status, wanted lists and enforcement proceedings. Separately — RUB 80.
36 ₽ per check
Sanctions lists of more than 50 countries, PEP and negative media — for senior roles and foreign candidates.
Document recognition and anti-fraud are priced separately — we will calculate it for your number of candidates and contractors.
You can start without development — with the web interface and a link for the candidate, and connect the API to your HR system or payment platform when you need it.
HR data is among the most sensitive: storage in Russia, a clear report for every check and a price per check, not per licence.
Passport recognition and checks against the registers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the tax service and the bailiffs are connected through one service. There is no need to retype a passport and open five websites to onboard one employee.
One request instead of five websites and screenshots in the personnel file.

Passport checks, foreign documents and data protection — in our blog.
Within three working days at most of the date an employment or civil-law contract is concluded — and the same after it ends or is terminated. If the foreign national works in two regions, a notification is filed in each. New notification forms apply from 1 September 2026. NeuroVision does not file notifications with the Ministry.
For organisations and sole traders — RUB 400,000 to 800,000 or suspension of activity for 14–90 days; for officials — RUB 35,000 to 50,000. In Moscow, Saint Petersburg and the Moscow and Leningrad regions, organisations face up to RUB 1,000,000. The fine is imposed for each foreign national.
The law sets no direct obligation, and the Ministry does not notify the employer if an employee has been entered in the register. But a person on the register has no lawful grounds to stay in Russia, and their banking operations are restricted. The check is free on the Ministry website; NeuroVision checks by full name and date of birth in batches and repeatedly, with the date in the report.
No. Check the validity of a patent and work permit in the Ministry's service. We recognise a foreign national's passport, a residence permit and a temporary residence permit, check the document for signs of forgery and check the person against the register of controlled persons, wanted lists and watchlists.
No. Under the Labour Code, an employee's data is obtained from the employee, and from a third party — only after notification and with written consent. Since 1 September 2025, consent to personal data processing is given as a separate document. A hiring decision cannot be made solely on automated processing — a person assesses the check result.
With their consent: Russian passport validity, social insurance number ownership, tax number, enforcement proceedings and maintenance arrears, wanted lists, bankruptcy, court cases, links to companies and nominee director status. The candidate obtains a criminal record certificate from the Ministry themselves — our checks do not replace it.
A contractor can deregister any day. A payment to someone who is no longer self-employed, or without a receipt, is subject to insurance contributions, and with regular work on a schedule the contract may be recognised as employment. A status check costs RUB 5 and is included in the package of 16 checks by Russian passport.
You can, but their income from you will not be taxed under the self-employed regime if the employment ended less than two years ago — the customer will have to pay personal income tax and contributions as for an ordinary contract. Databases cannot verify this; check against HR records.
Yes. Passports of 195+ countries and territories and 16,000+ document types, including residence permits and temporary residence permits. The MRZ is matched against the visual zone, and the document is checked for forgery and editing traces. Validity against the Ministry database is checked only for the Russian passport.
Not yet: face matching and liveness checks for hiring are in preparation, pending a legal assessment under 572‑FZ. For a remote candidate, passport recognition, document anti-fraud — editing traces and screen photos — and database checks are available now.
Register checks — from RUB 5; a package of 16 checks by passport — RUB 50; compliance screening with PEP — RUB 36; there is no subscription fee. Document recognition — by quote. Test access — 1 month.
Tell us whom you hire or pay — employees, foreign nationals or the self-employed — and how many people a month: we will put together a set of checks and give you test access.
