Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a federal law that enshrines the reduction of the terms for issuing licenses and permits, as well as a reduction in the number of documents required to obtain them. The corresponding amendments to 69 federal laws were prepared by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia on the instructions of Deputy Chairman and Chief of Staff of the Government Dmitry Grigorenko.

The signed federal law is the result of four years of work to reduce the time it takes to issue licenses, permits and the number of required documents, to transfer permits to electronic form and to make other simplifications for businesses and citizens. At the same time, the optimization of those government services that have shown positive results and for which it has been possible to obtain confirmation in practice that permits can be issued in a shorter time frame and with a smaller package of documents for the applicant is being consolidated.

The optimization affected a number of key economic areas that are most in demand by businesses and citizens. These include, in particular, permitting regimes in the areas of transport, construction, nature management and environmental protection, industrial safety, education, communications, tourism, accreditation of legal entities, and many others.

The law also permanently establishes a number of tools that have made it possible to optimize the process of obtaining licenses and permits and which will now be constantly applied in practice. For example, a comprehensive application. With its help, you can apply for several permits at once by submitting one application on the Unified State Services Portal. By the end of 2025, it is planned to implement about 20 comprehensive applications on the portal.

In addition, the mechanisms of interdepartmental information exchange are enshrined in law, when at the stage of preparing applications to the permitting agency on the Unified Public Services portal the necessary information is automatically pulled up. And also the proactive mode of operation of the Unified Public Services portal: the portal systems will remind businesses and citizens about the need to extend permits and automatically send a pre-filled application for their registration.

The process of optimizing the issuance of licenses and permits has allowed us to reduce the number of requested documents and the time required to obtain permits by half on average. In the future, it is planned to adopt more than 250 by-laws to implement the provisions set forth in the federal law.
