The guest sends the passport before the booking, the host — before the listing is published and the first payout. We recognise the document, look for traces of forgery, check the passport against the Ministry of Internal Affairs database, and the host — by INN, self-employed status and bankruptcy. The right to the flat is confirmed by an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, the guest's registration is the owner's job.

The rules depend on what is being let. A flat can be let under a short-term lease. Apartments with hotel services and guest houses are accommodation facilities: they have a register, their own rules for registering guests and a tourist tax.
NeuroVision checks the guest and the host in the same way for all three formats. What changes is who registers the guest and by what deadline. Bills on neighbours' consent and on a register of short-term rentals have been discussed since 2023 but, as of October 2026, have not been adopted.

In a short-term flat the host party is the one who provided the housing, not the aggregator. The rules for hotels do not apply to a flat: the deadline is longer, and there are exceptions for short trips.
A foreigner is put on migration registration by the one with whom they actually live: the owner of the flat or the organisation that provided the premises. An aggregator that only brought the guest and the host together does not become the host party.
The owner files the arrival notification for a foreign guest with the Ministry of Internal Affairs no later than 7 working days from the day of arrival. The tear-off part with the stamp they give to the guest.
A foreigner who has come to Russia for no more than 7 days and lives in a flat is not registered at the place of stay. This exception does not apply to hotels.
A Russian citizen who has rented a flat for a few days or weeks is not obliged to register at the place of stay. Registration is needed if they live in someone else's flat for more than 90 days.
For flats the general Art. 18.9 of the Code of Administrative Offences applies, not the new article for hotels. If there are several foreigners, liability arises for each. The amounts for citizens change from 3 November 2026 — we will state them after a lawyer's check.
An owner who is a citizen — a fine for citizens under Part 4, Art. 18.9 of the Code of Administrative Offences; the amounts change from 3 November 2026
Organisation (for example, a management company that itself provided the apartments) — 400 000–500 000 ₽, an official — 40 000–50 000 ₽
An owner who is a citizen — a fine for citizens under Part 3, Art. 18.9 of the Code of Administrative Offences; the amounts change from 3 November 2026
Organisation — 400 000–500 000 ₽, an official — 35 000–50 000 ₽
Hotel rules — a deadline of 1 working day, a fine under Art. 18.9.1 of the Code of Administrative Offences for each foreigner: from 80 000 ₽ for being one working day late

Letting a residential premises is a permitted type of income under NPD. For a platform the host's status is a payout question: a self-employed person is paid against a receipt, a sole proprietor — against an invoice.
A host on the professional income tax pays 4% on payments from individual guests and 6% — from companies and sole proprietors. The limit — 2.4 million ₽ of income a year. Letting non-residential premises, including apartments, on NPD is not allowed.
An owner without self-employed or sole-proprietor status pays personal income tax themselves — by an annual return. An aggregator does not become the host's tax agent.
It is paid only by accommodation facilities from the register of classified accommodation facilities. A flat is a residential premises, not an accommodation facility: there is no tourist tax on short-term letting of a flat. A guest house and an apart-hotel from the register pay it if the tax is introduced in the municipality.
A self-employed person can deregister or lose the right to NPD on any day. Before a payout the platform checks the status by INN in one request — the passport is not needed a second time.
The set of checks is the same, what differs is who meets the guest and who receives the money. A platform checks both sides, a management company — mainly the guests, a check-in service — the one it opens the door to.
Checking short-term rental guests protects the host and the flat. Checking the host protects the guest and the platform's money. Both are built from one recognised document — there is no need to enter the data again.
A Russian passport or a travel passport is recognised from a photo: full name, date of birth, series and number, date of issue. A foreign passport of 195+ countries and territories — with the name in Latin letters from the MRZ and verification of the check digits.
Most often enabled:
Anti-fraud finds a photo of a document from a screen, a printout, a pasted-in photo, drawn-in elements and traces of a graphics editor. Someone else's passport sent as a picture from the internet is filtered out before the door code is passed on.
Most often enabled:
A Russian passport — for validity against the Ministry of Internal Affairs database, a foreign guest — against the register of controlled persons. Wanted lists of the Ministry of Internal Affairs — at the platform's discretion, for expensive properties and long bookings.
Most often enabled:
The host's passport is recognised and checked for authenticity and validity. The INN is found from the passport in the Federal Tax Service — it does not have to be requested separately.
Most often enabled:
NPD payer status — by INN at registration and before every payout. Bankruptcy information: if the host is bankrupt, only the financial manager can dispose of their property.
Most often enabled:
The full name from the host's passport is the standard against which the platform matches the payout recipient and the extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate that the host uploaded themselves. NeuroVision does not check the extract itself or the ownership right.
Most often enabled:
A host is checked once — at registration, the status is rechecked before payouts. A guest — at each booking or once per account, as the platform decides.
The host photographs the passport by a link in the personal account. The platform receives the fields, the anti-fraud result, the INN and the self-employed status. The host uploads the extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate separately — matching the full name stays with the platform.
After the booking is confirmed the guest receives a link and photographs the passport with a phone, a foreigner — a passport with an MRZ. The document is checked for forgery, a Russian passport — against the Ministry of Internal Affairs database, a foreigner — against the register of controlled persons.
The host or the check-in service sees that the document is checked and hands over the key or the code. Before a payout the platform rechecks the host's status in one request. A foreign guest is registered by the owner from their own data — without retyping.
The listing is published by a non-owner
A flat is rented for a month and then let by the day without the owner's knowledge — or photos of someone else's housing are published. The platform matches the full name from the host's checked passport with the extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate or the contract with the owner. A discrepancy is a reason to stop the listing.
The money goes past the platform
A “host” with a forged or someone else's passport asks for prepayment by transfer to a card. Anti-fraud filters out a forged document at registration, and the payout goes only to the person whose passport and INN are checked.
One books, others come
A booking for one night is made from a photo of someone else's passport or a screen capture. Anti-fraud sees a photo from a screen and traces of editing, a Russian passport is checked against the Ministry of Internal Affairs database. The door code goes to the person whose document is checked.
A blocked person comes back
A host was blocked for complaints and registers again with a different phone. The platform matches the passport number and the INN from our response with its own host database — a second account is visible before publication.
Money — to someone else's name
The listing is run by one person, the payouts are received by another — a drop or a dummy self-employed person. The platform compares the recipient's full name and INN with the data of the checked host, the self-employed status is checked before a payout.
Housing Code, Art. 30
Lease contract
The owner. Without NeuroVision — an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, ordered by the host or the platform; NeuroVision does not check the extract and does not confirm ownership.
The same person? Without NeuroVision — the full name from the extract is compared with what the host wrote in the questionnaire; NeuroVision — the full name from the checked passport, the standard for matching.
An intermediary. Without NeuroVision — a lawyer reads the contract with the owner or the power of attorney; NeuroVision — checks the intermediary's passport.
A foreigner. Without NeuroVision — the owner retypes the passport into the notification by hand; NeuroVision — the fields and Latin letters from the MRZ in JSON, the owner files the notification.
The register of controlled persons. Without NeuroVision — the Ministry of Internal Affairs website, one guest at a time; NeuroVision — 5 ₽ via the API before arrival.
A Russian citizen. Without NeuroVision — the passport check service on Gosuslugi, one at a time; NeuroVision — passport validity against the Ministry of Internal Affairs database, 5 ₽.
The host's INN. Without NeuroVision — the host enters it themselves; NeuroVision — the INN by passport from the Federal Tax Service.
Self-employed status. Without NeuroVision — the Federal Tax Service service, one at a time; NeuroVision — by INN before every payout.
Receipts and tax. Without NeuroVision — the host in “My Tax” or a tax return; NeuroVision — does not generate or check.
We do not confirm ownership, do not register guests and do not pay taxes for the host. We give the platform a checked document of the guest and the host — the standard against which the extract, the payout recipient and the Ministry of Internal Affairs notification are matched.
Document recognition — in the package per KYC session, database checks — 5 ₽ per request. A check skipped for lack of data is not charged. Descriptions and response fields — in the API documentation.

An aggregator needs an API in host registration and booking. A management company and the owner of several flats will be fine with a link that the guest opens on a phone.
Payment for sessions and checks, support via a ticket system.
Short-term letting is a deal between strangers. A platform needs one provider that will check both sides and will not promise what it does not do.
The guest's passport and the host's passport are recognised by one service, checked for forgery and against databases. The host's INN and self-employed status arrive in the same response as the document fields.
There is no need to assemble a solution from several vendors and reconcile their responses.
A Skolkovo resident; the platform is entry no. 19972 in the Russian software registry.
Concepts that come up when letting a flat by the day, registering guests and making payouts to hosts.
Document forgeries, checking platform partners and check conversion — in our blog.
The passport: the document is recognised from a photo and checked for forgery, a Russian passport — for validity against the Ministry of Internal Affairs database, a foreign guest — against the register of controlled persons. This way a check of a short-term flat tenant takes minutes and is done before check-in. At a meeting the host matches the guest with the original document.
The passport data is needed for the lease and, for a foreigner, for the Ministry of Internal Affairs notification. A copy and a photo of the passport are personal data. The basis and the retention period are stated by the owner or the platform in the personal data processing policy.
Yes, if they have come to Russia for more than 7 days. The arrival notification is filed by the flat owner as the host party — no later than 7 working days from the day of arrival. A foreigner who has come to Russia for no more than 7 days and lives in a flat is not registered.
No. Registration at the place of stay is mandatory if a citizen lives in someone else's residential premises for more than 90 days. The “within 24 hours” rule applies only to hotels.
The host party is the one who provided the housing: the flat owner or an organisation. An aggregator that only brought the guest and the host together does not file the notification. If an apartment complex works as an accommodation facility, the hotel rules apply — a deadline of 1 working day.
Yes. Since 2024 the Housing Code directly allows letting housing under a short-term lease if the neighbours' rights and the rules of using the building are respected. It is prohibited to provide hotel services in a flat. Bills on neighbours' consent had not been adopted as of October 2026.
No. The tourist tax is paid by accommodation facilities from the register of classified accommodation facilities, and a flat is a residential premises. This was clarified by the Federal Tax Service in the letter of 11.09.2025 No. СД-4-3/8338@. A guest house or an apart-hotel from the register pays the tax if it is introduced in the municipality.
Yes: letting a residential premises is allowed under the professional income tax. The rate — 4% on payments from individuals and 6% from companies, the limit — 2.4 million ₽ a year. Non-residential premises, including apartments, cannot be let on NPD. The platform checks the status by INN — 5 ₽ per request.
No. Ownership is confirmed by an extract from the Unified State Register of Real Estate, checking it is not part of the product. NeuroVision checks the host's passport and finds the INN and the self-employed status. The platform matches the full name from the checked passport with the extract and the payout recipient.
Check the document before the listing is published, not after a guest's complaint. A forged passport and a photo of a screen are seen by anti-fraud. The INN by passport and bankruptcy information show who the money will go to. A discrepancy of the full name with the extract or the payout recipient is a reason to stop the listing.
Not on this page: guest and host checks are built on the document and databases. Selfie comparison and Liveness require a separate solution under the biometrics law. Duplicate accounts are found by the platform by passport number and INN.
Document recognition with anti-fraud — from 16 ₽ per KYC session, at 10 000 checks a year — 18 ₽. Database checks — 5 ₽. Test access — 1 month.
