ELECTRONIC FILING
The service delivers documents to court; it does not assess your bankruptcy grounds. Prepare a properly signed bundle and follow the court’s response.

A Successful Upload Does Not Mean the Court Accepted the Petition
| Stage | Check | Archive |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Applicant details | Profile |
| Court | Jurisdiction | Address and registration |
| Petition | Signature and details | Final PDF |
| Attachments | Legibility and names | Source files |
| Submission | Receipt | Identifier |

Check processing outcome
Obtain acceptance or cure directions promptly.
Use the Official Service and Correct Applicant
The official address is my.arbitr.ru. Do not share your Gosuslugi password with an intermediary or upload passport and bank records to similarly named websites. A representative uses their own account, identifies the represented person and supplies proof of authority.
A Scan Is Not the Same as a Digital Original
The filing Procedure approved by Judicial Department Order No. 252 distinguishes a scanned image of a paper document from a document created electronically from the outset. For an image, prepare and sign the paper first, then scan it. A simple electronic signature may certify the image where permitted; a born-digital document requires an enhanced qualified electronic signature.
Do not treat ESIA login as a universal substitute for every signature. Applications involving interim measures have special requirements. Where a representative signs, the text, authority and signature must be consistent.
Prepare the Files
A scanned image must be a PDF of no more than 30 MB, with a separate file for each document and an identifiable filename showing its page count. Preserve all particulars, including the signature and relevant reverse sides. Files must allow copying and printing and must not contain embedded scripts or multimedia.
Keep a multipage statement together; do not combine unrelated attachments into one unnamed file. An example name is “Bank A statement for period — 12 pages.pdf”. Open every page before uploading and compare the files with your index. Do not alter an already signed digital original, as this may prevent signature verification.
Online Filing Does Not Remove Document Requirements
Article 213.4 of Federal Law No. 127-FZ still requires the applicable information and records about debts, creditors, assets, income, accounts and other circumstances. Completing the web form does not replace the petition and attachments. Check the court, debtor details, application type and SRO particulars.
Under current Article 213.4(4), the citizen deposits the manager’s remuneration after admission and before the merits hearing, stating the case number. Do not automatically import an old pre-filing payment sequence into the electronic bundle.
Example: Files Sent but a Statement Is Missing
The system confirms transmission of the petition and creditor list, but the applicant forgot a required bank statement. The notification does not cure the missing attachment. If the court leaves the petition without movement, respond to its specific directions within the period set, linking the supplement to the correct filing.
Three Outcomes to Keep Separate
Uploading files, confirmation of their receipt and the judge’s admission order are different events. Keep the submitted bundle, identifier, date and notices. Then read the court’s order: admission, correction directions or return. Separately examine the stated reason for any technical rejection by the system.
If there is a failure, record the message and time, check whether submission succeeded and avoid blindly creating duplicates. A support request does not replace procedural filing or automatically extend court deadlines. Use this guidance with the service’s current instructions: interface labels and locations may change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upload an unsigned petition PDF?
A file alone does not replace proper signing. Use an admissible form: an image of signed paper or a digital document carrying the required electronic signature.
Does a receipt mean bankruptcy has started?
No. Check the court’s order. Transmission is not admission of the petition, still less introduction of a bankruptcy procedure.
Must I give my representative my Gosuslugi password?
No. A representative files through their own account with proof of authority. There is no need to share passwords or confirmation codes.
