I have an account on the Госуслуги portal. However it is only a basic account.
It would be very convenient if I can upgrade it to a confirmed account. When I try and do this I get an error.
I am not sure if this is a) because of some error in the data somewhere (the verification process checks with the Pension Fund of Russia and if someone has e.g. misspelled my name when registering me that could be a reason) or b) because, as a foreign citizen, I am not permitted to have an upgraded account - and it is simply choking on my UK passport.
I did ask in a multifunction centre and the answer, from someone who seemed quite efficient, was that only citizens or people with residence permits can have confirmed accounts. (I am here on a Work Visa). Can can anyone confirm this? Has anyone got a Госуслуги account without TRP?
Thank you
