The document, which TASS has reviewed, will make it mandatory for individuals (including individual entrepreneurs) and companies to register SIMs with the state. If the bill is passed, it will go into effect on March 1, 2025.
To register, owners of SIM cards (which do not fall under the concept of “goods”) must provide the registration operator with the SIM registration number/ID, year of manufacture, make, model and weight, date of entry into registration, information about the owner (passport, SNILS, address, etc.).
For legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, the TIN, Unified State Register of Legal Entities or SNILS and address will be added to the list. It will be possible to send data remotely through State Services. After which the SIM will have an account number in the system.
It is planned to track the movements of the SIM using a sticker with a QR code and radio frequency identification (chips). The owners themselves will place the stickers.
“It is proposed to issue the account number in the form of a two-dimensional barcode (QR code), which is applied to a label (sticker) and is automatically generated during registration or when changes are made to the SIM data in the record. , which are accompanied by the assignment of a new account to the SIM numbers to replace the previously assigned one,” the agency quotes in the explanatory note of the bill.
At the same time, it will be possible to track information only after the owner himself, through the application, logs into a unified information system that tracks the movements of the SIM card. This one is also yet to be created.
It is planned to make unauthorized access to SIM management impossible (illegal) in future accounting and movement tracking systems.
