Russia....Declare Dual Citizenship

[natlee]

By the way, now she and you as well Natlee are in the database of traitors of Russia.
I, on the other hand, because I took RF citizenship, am now in the database of heros

Or weirdos!

Natlee herself does NOT have dual citizenship so is another weirdo!

Or weirdos!

Come to think of it, that is probably more likely

Natlee herself does NOT have dual citizenship so is another weirdo!

Why NOT ?? You`re white, aren`t you. I read somewhere on this forum that in that case, you can get a UK passport thrown at you !

Sorry, but you do need to actually live there to get one.

Can't find any info as far as the process - just that I need to inform FMS in writing. Form? Docs? Anyone know?

Yes, to go to the post office is the easiest way, as post office people do jot really kow the procedure well, they take the photocopies of both of your passports, a copy of your internal passport, the application form, make you pay the delivery service and you are free

No, they don't take a copy of your application form. You must have two originals.
And you should send the docs with a registered letter.
And you must take care of the receipt. I suspect, it's a good idea to make copies of the latter and have one at hand, at least, when one crossing the border.

Important notice! There are few articles in designated visa/migration blogs about demands to show the dual citizenship notification receipt at the border! The presense of the foreign citizenship can be easily determined by the absense of the visa to destination country in your Russian passport if Russians generally need it. So make a copy (I recommend to store original receipt safe) of the receipt and keep it handy!

Hello Everyone!

I'm an American/Russian dual citizen and I have arrived into Moscow. I need to report my Dual Citizenship because I intend to stay here for at least a year. Yes, I'm delayed in reporting my dual citizenship... which is why I'm doing it now!

I downloaded the official form off the FMS website. Anyway, I don't have an FMS registration address here in Russia... because my Russian Foreign passport was issued at an American Consulate. What do I write for this: (наименование территориального органа ФМС России или его структурного подразделения)??

Also, I've read that some people have reported their dual citizenship at either a Post Office here or an FMS office. What do you recommend?

And, should I bring scanned copies of my birth certificate and both passports to either the Post Office or FMS?

I hope someone can help me, please! Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone!

I've read all the messages in this thread and it seems pretty clear that I need to register my second (original) citizenship.

I received Russian citizenship about a month ago. I was told I needed to go to FMS and tell them about my other citizenship. So I went to my local FMS and they told me I couldn't register it as it's only for people whose original citizenship is Russian, not the other way around.

I obviously wrote the required letter to my embassy stating that I wish to revoke my original citizenship, but I was also advised that this was just formality and I wouldn't need to follow through on it. Now I'm confused.

Have any of you who recently received Russian citizenship, and wrote the letter to revoke your original citizenship, actually been able to register your second (original) citizenship at UFMS? I've been to my local office twice now and they refuse to do it.

Thanks

Salix, You sound like an old timer, naming the migration service the UFMS.

I am a US citizen and have RF citizenship, obtained about two years ago. I applied for RU citizenship here in Russia, using my US citizenship as part of the application. As a result, the migration officials know full well I have US and RU citizenship. So I left it at that and never provided any other notification about it.

In my view, there is no need to follow up on the letter revoking your original citizenship. It means nothing.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm covered. If you have doubts, what does your local multi-functional center say?

Thanks for the reply.

I went to my local multi-function center twice and they said I don't need to do it, and there's no way for them to register my original passport as the law only requires people whose first citizenship was Russian.

But I'm getting conflicting reports from different sources.

I don't want to put my new citizenship at risk by not following the law, but most people are saying the law doesn't apply in my case.
