Insolvency Register
Search by taxpayer number or name and read the complete notice timeline.
Court File
Verify the case number, court, participants and latest judicial order.
MFC route
Out-of-court insolvency is published in the register and may have no court case.
Identity match
Compare the taxpayer number, birth data, region and case number.
Step-by-step status check
Prepare identifiers
A taxpayer number is best; otherwise use the full name, date of birth and region.
Search the insolvency register
Open every relevant dated notice rather than relying on the result row.
Verify the court file
Use the case number and read the latest order together with appeals and later rulings.
Check the MFC route
For out-of-court bankruptcy, opening and completion notices in the register are decisive.
Use the bailiff database as context
Enforcement records are not a bankruptcy register.
Record the result
Save the check date, URLs, case number and the relevant order PDF.
How to read the status
| Entry | Meaning | Not yet proven |
|---|---|---|
| Application accepted | The court began procedural review | That a procedure was introduced or debts will be discharged |
| Debt restructuring | The application was found justified and a procedure began | That the person has already been declared bankrupt |
| Asset realisation | The person was declared bankrupt and realisation began | That every asset will be sold or every debt discharged |
| Procedure completed | A final order was issued | That discharge applies to every claim without exception |
| Out-of-court procedure | An MFC published the event | That a commercial-court case number exists |
Evidence of no bankruptcy
Russian law does not establish one permanent government certificate proving that a person has never been bankrupt. For a particular date, counterparties usually rely on an official register search, court-file data and, where appropriate, the person’s representation. The recipient’s document requirements should be clarified in advance.
After completion, the legally important evidence is the final court order and the register notice. See documents after completion.
When the check matters
Asset transaction
Before buying property, a car or a business interest, verify the stage and dates.
Loan or deferred payment
A creditor needs the case and claim-filing deadlines.
Litigation
The case number determines the correct procedural route.
After completion
Read the operative part and exceptions rather than a short status label.
Frequently asked questions
What is the official register?
Mandatory notices are published at bankrot.fedresurs.ru; judicial acts are checked in the Commercial Court File.
Is a surname enough?
No. Match the taxpayer number or other identifiers and the case number.
Do Gosuslugi replace the register?
Use the specialised insolvency register and court database for public status verification.
Does no bailiff case mean no bankruptcy?
No. The bailiff database concerns enforcement, not complete insolvency status.
How do I know whether debts were discharged?
Read the final order and procedure-result notice and apply the statutory exceptions.

Petition, Procedure and Completion Are Three Different Statuses
A docket may show a filed petition before its foundation is tested. The court declares the citizen bankrupt by a separate decision, while discharge is determined in the final order under Article 213.28. EFRSB discloses events required by Article 213.7 and helps verify the manager and notices. For a transaction or screening decision, preserve results from the same date because status may change after a later order. A digital service does not change the substantive bankruptcy conditions or assess whether the procedure makes economic sense for the applicant. Before submission, identify the proper court, collect mandatory attachments, disclose creditors, assets, income and transactions, and verify the signature and format of every file. Keep the source document, final PDF, submission receipt, document identifier and system notices. After upload, open the case docket and confirm that the record entered the correct case and was accepted or left without movement with a specific correction period. The online docket is useful for prompt monitoring, but a short status does not replace the complete court order. A matching surname does not prove identity: compare tax number, region, case number, date and other available identifiers. If a bank, bailiff, registry or appeal requires the document, establish whether the digitally signed version is sufficient or a certified copy is needed. This material describes the general route and cannot guarantee acceptance or introduction of a procedure.
