Biometric registration has been simplified for Gosuslug users – Kommersant

Users of the State Services Biometrics application have the opportunity to register biometrics in a simplified format, without using a new generation passport. As reported TASS at the Center for Biometric Technologies (CBT), now to register biometrics you only need a verified account on State Services and a smartphone.

The CBT notes that the new method of registering biometrics will be available in the updated version of the mobile application. “To do this, you only need a verified account on the government services portal and a smartphone to take a photo and record your voice. The system independently identifies a person without requiring any passwords or confirmation,” the center explained. It is clarified that the innovation was implemented on behalf of Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Grigorenko.

All citizen data is registered and stored in the Unified Biometric System – a nationwide platform for providing remote biometric identification. Adult citizens of the Russian Federation can submit biometric data free of charge. At the same time, at any time they have the right to revoke consent to the processing of biometrics and demand its destruction.
