Updated procedure for maintaining EGRUL and EGRIP registers

New procedure for maintaining the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and the Unified State Register of Sole Entrepreneurs (EGRUL/EGRIP) approved by the order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation №165N of 30.10.2017 came into force on 1 March 2018. The order of the Ministry of Finance №25N of 18.02.2015 on approval of previous Procedure is declared invalid.

New procedure contains rules and periods of EGRUL/EGRIP data application, the technical error correction procedure and requirements for the content of the registers.

In case of differences in EGRUL/EGRIP data on electronic data carriers and paper documents, the priority should be given to hard copies.

In case of changes in EGRUL/EGRIP data, the previous data must be stored in the registries.

Technical errors in the registries should be corrected by making new records in EGRUL/EGRIP with the relevant links to erroneous recordings. The authorities of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, which corrected technical errors within 3 working days, should inform the relevant parties who reported about the errors in a written form.

New procedure does not contain rules on providing data or documents from the registries due to the changed procedure on obtaining the information above approved by the order of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation №5N of 15.01.2015.
