The Ministry of Digital Development and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are discussing with other departments changes in the regulation of SIM card circulation, Kommersant writes.
In particular, use amplifiers to verify subscribers. For example, activate sold SIM cards after clients’ passport data has been verified in the Ministry of Internal Affairs database. The idea “has not yet been formalized into a legislative initiative.”
Now operators check the passport data of subscribers with the Ministry of Internal Affairs databases within 30 days after the sale of a SIM card. The SIM card itself is activated immediately after sale. The publication’s source believes that if the new rules are adopted, the verification will take at least two days, but everything will be protected from the constitutional system. [Коммерсантъ]
