The cargo is handed to a carrier found on a freight exchange yesterday evening and to a driver seen for the first time. We check the company by INN — status, signs of a shell company, courts and debts — its director and founders, and the driver — by passport, licence and wanted lists. The answer arrives before loading, with the source for each check.
Data is kept in Russia · Register of Russian software No. 19972 · 152‑FZ and 242‑FZ
The law does not oblige you to check a carrier, but it decides who pays for a missing cargo and whose expenses the tax authority will not recognise. A forwarder answers to the client for those it hired, a carrier — for the cargo until delivery, a shipper — for whom it signed a contract with.
NeuroVision provides data on the company, its director and the driver with the source and date. The decision — whether to hand over the cargo — stays with you.

Double brokerage
A “carrier” takes your request and resells it further — often through a messenger, in a chain of two or three subcontractors. At the last link the person who takes the cargo away appears. A check by INN sees only the first link, so the INN and the driver are checked for the one who actually came.
A company with a nominal director
A ready-made company is bought or a new one is registered, a nominal director is put in, sometimes a couple of their own vehicles, and expensive cargo is taken at a rate above the market. It is given away by the registration date, a mass head, links with dozens of firms and account freezes.
The details of a real company
A fraudster poses as a well-known carrier: the INN is real, while the e-mail, phone and bank details are their own. The register is clean. The discrepancy is seen when you match the director, the details and the contacts with the register data and call them, not the number from the request.
One's documents, another behind the wheel
The request has the data of one driver, another arrives for loading, sometimes with a forged passport or someone else's licence. Recognising the passport and the licence at loading and matching with the request show the substitution before the cargo is in the body.
A call “from the logistician”
After loading the driver is called from a new number “from the company” and the unloading address is changed with an offer of cash. A check cannot close this — a rule does: the address is changed only in writing, through the channel from the contract. A checked driver agrees less often.
87-FZ
Checked before loading
Documents. The consignment note, the order and the carriage request, forwarding documents — only in electronic form. Paper — in cases defined by the Ministry of Transport.
Signatures. The documents are signed with an enhanced electronic signature; a company employee signs under a machine-readable power of attorney.
GIS EPD. The documents go to the state information system of electronic transport documents through an operator. Paper and an electronic document cannot be mixed in one carriage.
Who is behind the company. The consignment note records the carrier and the driver but does not say whether the company's director is nominal or whether its accounts are frozen.
Whether the driver is real. The driver's full name in the consignment note is the carrier's word. Whether the person at loading is the same is seen from their passport and licence.
How long the company has existed. A month-old carrier will be issued a consignment note in the same way as a ten-year-old one.
Before the consignment note. The carrier and the driver are checked when the request arrives — before the shipper signs their part.
The same data. The carrier's INN and the driver's full name from the request go into the check and then into the consignment note: a discrepancy is visible at once.
In the file. The check result with the source and date goes into the carrier's file next to the ETrN.
We are not an electronic document management operator and are not connected to the GIS EPD: you issue consignment notes with your own operator. A carrier check by INN — on the counterparty checks page.
Company, head, driver — with sources and dates
The tax authority recognises carriage expenses and the VAT deduction if the carriage was performed by the carrier under the contract or by the one to whom they passed it under a contract. If the “carrier” has no vehicles, drivers or fuel costs and someone else carried — it is a risk of the expenses and the deduction being denied.
The reality of the carriage by documents and by people: consignment notes, waybills, drivers, vehicles, the movement of money. A counterparty's mistake or the signature of an unauthorised person is not in itself considered grounds for a refusal — what matters is whether you knew who you were working with.
In its letter of 10 March 2021 the Federal Tax Service described the standard: check that the counterparty exists, can do the work with its own resources or through lawful subcontractors and that the contract was signed by an authorised person. The check is documented before the deal, not after the tax authority's demand.
The company's status, signs of a shell company, the director and founders, the driver — with the source, the date and the time of the register's answer. The report is saved in the carrier's file: it can be shown in a tax audit. The decision on the tax benefit is made by the tax authority, not by us.
A cargo owner cares about the carrier for a specific trip, a forwarder — the whole chain of subcontractors, an exchange — thousands of companies at registration, a warehouse — the person at the gate. The sources are the same, the order and depth differ.
The carrier sends a request with the INN and the driver's data — the system queries the registers itself. The logistician looks only at disputed cases, and at loading the driver's documents are matched with the request.
The INN of the company or sole proprietor, the full name, passport and licence number of the driver go into the check from your system. If the carrier sent photos of documents, they are recognised without retyping, anti-fraud filters out edited images.
The company — by the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or of Sole Proprietors, signs of a shell company, courts and debts. The director and founders — by INN from the register. The driver — against the Ministry of Internal Affairs and traffic police databases and wanted lists. The answer comes for each source separately.
Clean carriers go on automatically, disputed ones — to a specialist. At loading the driver's passport, licence and power of attorney are recognised and matched with the request.
The cargo leaves with a specific person, not with an INN. The carrier sends the driver's data in the request — check it in advance, and at loading match it with the documents in the driver's hands.
The passport — against the Ministry of Internal Affairs database for validity, the person — against the wanted lists of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Penitentiary Service and the Federal Bailiff Service, the licence — against the traffic police database for validity and deprivation. For a foreign driver — the register of controlled persons of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The check goes by the data from the request.
Security or a storekeeper photographs the passport and the licence. The fields are recognised and compared with the request: a different person, a different passport number or traces of editing — a reason to stop loading and call the carrier on the number from the contract, not from the request.
If the cargo is released under the carrier's power of attorney, its number, date, validity and the driver's passport are matched with the passport in hand. The authenticity of a notarised power of attorney is checked in the register of the notary chamber, and whether a power of attorney will be needed with an ETrN is for a lawyer to decide.
A criminal record certificate is issued only by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you have no right to demand it from another carrier's driver. We search for criminal cases in courts of general jurisdiction — a signal for a question to the carrier, not grounds for refusal.
A carrier that was reliable a year ago may today be in liquidation, with a new director or frozen accounts. You set the frequency: the more expensive the cargo and the rarer the trips with this carrier, the earlier the repeat.
Liquidation, a change of director and founders — against the Unified State Register of Legal Entities before a trip with a new or rare carrier.
When to repeat:
A tax authority decision to suspend account operations — a signal that the company may stop working any day.
When to repeat:
New claims of other cargo owners and a bankruptcy petition appear before the carrier disappears from the market.
When to repeat:
A director or founder may get into the Rosfinmonitoring list or sanctions lists after work begins.
When to repeat:
A licence can be taken away on any day, a passport can be replaced. The licence, passport and wanted lists — on the data of each new request.
When to repeat:
Through the API each INN goes as a separate request — your system can recheck the entire carrier database on a schedule.
When to repeat:
Registration number and restrictions. Registration, restrictions and the wanted status of a vehicle — in the traffic police services by registration number or VIN.
OSAGO and cargo insurance. The OSAGO policy — with the Russian Union of Motor Insurers, the insurance of the carrier's liability and of the cargo — in the contract and with the insurer.
Weight and dimensions. Special permits for heavy and oversized carriage — in the government services.
Tracking. Where the vehicle is now is shown by the carrier's GPS tracker or your TMS.
GosLog registers. The forwarder's entry in the register and, from 2027, the carrier's — see on the GosLog platform.
Reviews and ratings. Claims and the carrier's rating — on the freight exchange where you found it.
Company. Status, signs of a shell company, courts and debts — by INN.
People. The director and founders — by INN from the register, the driver — by passport, licence and wanted lists.
Documents. Passport, licence, power of attorney — recognition and anti-fraud.
We check companies and people, not vehicles and routes. So a carrier check is not a replacement for a contract with a ban on reselling the request, cargo insurance and the rule “the unloading address is changed only in writing”.
Each check is switched on separately, payment is for the requests made; a check skipped for lack of data is not charged. The set for expensive cargo and for a regular trip differs.

One INN — status, shell-company signs, courts and debts.
Status in the state registers, signs of a shell company, court cases and debts, the director and shareholders — in a single request.

50 ₽ per package (3.125 ₽ per check)
16 checks on a person's passport — a sole-proprietor director or the driver: passport validity, wanted lists of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Penitentiary Service and the Federal Bailiff Service, enforcement proceedings, bankruptcy, arbitration, lists and sanctions. Separately — 80 ₽.
from 16 ₽ per session
A passport or licence — the main document of the package, the second document — 10 ₽, the back of the licence — free of charge. Document anti-fraud is included.
A company check by INN is calculated for the number of carriers and trips per month. Nominal status, links with companies, account freezes and the driver's licence are not included in the “16 in 1” package and are connected separately.
An exchange and a large forwarder need an API: carriers are checked at registration and before each request. A logistics department with a dozen trips a week will be fine with a widget for capturing the driver's documents.
Payment for the checks performed, technical support via a ticket system.
A carrier is chosen in minutes, while the cargo is paid for at full value. You need an answer that arrives before loading, shows the people behind the company and stays in the file with the source.
A check by INN, a check of the head and founders, the driver's passport and licence are connected through one service — without separate Federal Tax Service, traffic police and court websites and without a summary table by hand.
One service instead of a separate integration for each register.
The platform is in the register of Russian software No. 19972, data in Russia.
Terms that come up when choosing a carrier and issuing a trip.
Company checks, due diligence and document anti-fraud — in our blog.
The company or sole proprietor by INN: whether it is active, when it was registered, whether there are signs of a shell company, arbitration cases and debts to the budget. The director and founders — by INN from the register: nominal status, bankruptcy, account freezes, lists and sanctions. The driver — by passport, licence and wanted lists. And to confirm that the driver who arrived for loading is the same as in the request.
No: road freight carriage in Russia is not licensed, checking a licence is pointless. From 1 March 2026 a forwarder must be in the register on the GosLog platform, and a carrier on vehicles heavier than 3.5 t — from 1 March 2027 in the register of carriers.
Yes. A forwarder is liable to the client for the loss of the cargo in the amount of the declared value or the actual value unless it proves that it could not have prevented it. The fact that an engaged carrier carried the cargo does not release the forwarder from liability to the client. So it is more profitable to check the carrier before the request.
By the data the carrier sent in the request: the passport — against the Ministry of Internal Affairs database, the licence — against the traffic police database for validity and deprivation, the person — against the wanted lists of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Penitentiary Service and the Federal Bailiff Service, a foreigner — against the register of controlled persons of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At loading the passport and the licence are recognised from a photo and matched with the request.
We recognise a power of attorney as a template form — the number, date, validity, full name and the driver's passport — and match them with the passport in hand. The authenticity of a notarised power of attorney is checked in the notary chamber's register, not by us.
It is the resale of your request to another contractor without your knowledge, often in a chain. Signs: the carrier does not let you contact the driver directly, a driver of another company arrives for loading, the data in the request and the documents do not match. Check the one who actually came, and prohibit reselling the request in the contract.
A report with the source and the date shows that you checked the carrier before the deal — this is part of due diligence. But the tax authority also looks at the reality of the carriage: who carried, on which vehicles, whether there are consignment notes. The decision on expenses and the VAT deduction is made by the tax authority.
No. From 1 September 2026 the electronic consignment note is mandatory, and it shows which carrier and which driver carry the cargo. But the consignment note does not show whether the company's director is nominal, whether the accounts are frozen and whether the driver's passport is genuine. The check goes before the consignment note.
No. We check companies and people. The registration number, restrictions and wanted status of a vehicle — in the traffic police services, the OSAGO policy — with the Russian Union of Motor Insurers, the location — with the carrier's GPS tracker or in your TMS. Entries in the GosLog registers are also checked on the platform itself.
Yes. An entrepreneur's INN is their personal INN, so checks of bankruptcy, arbitration, account freezes, tax debt and links with companies work on it. Self-employed status is checked by INN or passport. The person themselves as a driver — by passport and licence.
The law does not set a frequency. The status and directors — before a trip with a rare carrier, account freezes — before payment, the driver — for every trip. Through the API your system can recheck the whole database on a schedule: each INN goes as a separate request.
A check of a head, founder, sole proprietor or driver against one register — 5 ₽, the package of 16 checks on a passport — 50 ₽, document recognition — from 16 ₽, there is no subscription fee. A company check by INN — calculated for your volume. Test access — on request.
Tell us how many new carriers you take per month, how many trips you send and where you currently manage requests — we will put together a set of checks for your risk and give you test access.
