🇷🇺 Starting March 28, Russians may be allowed to check into hotels using a QR code from MAX instead of a passport. This concerns the digital ID in the MAX messenger — it is generated based on data from the "Gosuslugi" (Public Services) system, and is available only to Russian citizens over 18 years old. To create it, you need a biometric international passport or a driver’s license, or you can use registered biometric data. The digital ID works on only one device, which must support facial recognition or fingerprint authentication. The QR code updates every 30 seconds, and taking a screenshot of it is not possible.

Summary

Starting March 28, 2024, Russian citizens will have the option to check into hotels using a QR code generated through the MAX messenger app, replacing the traditional passport requirement. This digital ID is linked to the 'Gosuslugi' (Public Services) system and is available exclusively to Russian citizens over 18 years old. To create the digital ID, users must have a biometric international passport, a driver’s license, or registered biometric data. The digital ID is device-specific and requires a device supporting facial recognition or fingerprint authentication for use. The QR code, which is generated every 30 seconds, enhances security by preventing screenshots and unauthorized use. This new system aims to streamline the check-in process, reduce physical contact, and improve security at hotels across Russia. It reflects ongoing efforts to digitize government and service interactions, leveraging biometric data and secure QR codes for identity verification. The initiative aligns with broader trends towards digital identity solutions and contactless services in the hospitality industry, offering a more efficient and secure alternative to traditional passport checks for eligible Russian citizens.
