About this statute

This provision sets the basic rules on Russian citizenship, including who must have a passport, how to notify authorities about foreign citizenship or residence documents, and key rights and limits tied to citizenship. The text sets rules for applying to exit Russian citizenship, lists when exit is not allowed, and gives authorities powers to decide citizenship matters. Authorities check whether a person has Russian citizenship, may do so on their own initiative in some cases, and must issue a reasoned conclusion and, on request, an extract within 3 working days.
