A draft government resolution sets that proposed cap and could take effect on March 1, 2027.
A draft government resolution would cap at 5,000 rubles the fee for accepting applications for state and municipal services and delivering documents through Russian Post and multifunctional centers (MFCs), RBC reported after reviewing the document.
The proposal covers two services: forwarding an application from a resident to the relevant authority, and delivering the completed document or service result to the applicant or a post office of their choice. The draft would not allow either service to cost more than 5,000 rubles. The proceeds could pay postal and MFC staff, cover purchases of goods and services, and meet other organizational expenses.
If adopted, the resolution is due to take effect on March 1, 2027. It remains a draft, not a current tariff. The price for each service and the procedure for providing it have yet to be set.
The proposal implements a law dated July 26, 2026, which allowed federal postal organizations to charge for accepting Gosuslugi applications and delivering the results. The law makes the services optional for applicants and gives the government authority to set the procedure and fee.
The Federation Council earlier approved a Russian Post reform law that also allows state services to be obtained at post offices. Interfax reported that its main provisions are due to take effect in March 2027, with separate dates for some rules.
