What should you do after obtaining citizenship?

So, you have obtained citizenship of the Russian Federation and have already been issued an internal passport of a Russian Federation citizen. After obtaining a Russian passport, new citizens must register at their place of stay or place of residence. Registration is required for all subsequent procedures. In addition, all citizens of the Russian Federation are required to have registration!

Next, you will need to reissue the following using your new passport:

• SNILS — the very first thing you need to reissue, or apply for if you have not already done so;
• ALL bank accounts opened using a foreign passport. This will also be useful for receiving compensation payments. Some regions do not pay compensation to non-resident accounts. If you have a residence permit, clarify whether your accounts need to be reissued;
• GOSUSLUGI (if you have already registered);
• Apply for compulsory medical insurance (OMS);
• Men must register with the military enlistment office at their place of registration. Keep in mind that many organizations will not hire you without a military ID;
• Obtain an international passport, if you need one;
• Apply for compensation payments and relocation allowances if you moved under the State Program for the Resettlement of Compatriots. If you moved under the State Program for the Resettlement of Compatriots as a repatriate, clarify whether the region pays any funds to repatriates;
