You do not need a Russian ID to order.
Your .RU name can be your Russian offshore identity without making your own Russian identity documents part of the order. Sign up with an email address and password.
Your account uses your email.
We do not request a personal Russian passport, a Russian phone number or a state ID number at signup. Use an email address you can access and keep the account login somewhere you can recover it.
Search your preferred .RU spelling in the secure area. The registration is $60/year with the shared identity included.
The name uses an identity we supply.
You manage the domain from your account, while the registration uses the identity supplied with your chosen option. The registry’s requirements apply to that registration identity.
With anonymous registration, other registrations use the shared identity too. Dedicated gives your account its own registration identity for an additional $1,000. Full Bulletproof with Abuse Protection includes an exclusive identity and complaint handling for an additional $10,000.
Choose the arrangement for your project.
A single name and a client portfolio can use different registration choices. Decide which identity and support level each name needs before placing the order.
Set your nameservers when ordering or update them after activation. Keep the exact domain spelling and the renewal responsibility in your project records.

We do not request a personal ID upload for signup. Your .RU uses the registration identity supplied with your plan.
Who can answer questions about my registration identity?
Ask support through the secure area before ordering if you need to discuss a particular registration arrangement.
