In the appendix My ID A new service has become available to users: the "Digital ID" service from the national messenger MAX. It allows users to verify their student status, their status as a member of a large family, or their age without presenting a paper document.
This new feature will make it easier to use electronic versions of documents when receiving services in the "My ID" app. Now, Moscow's digital documents and federal identity verification services are consolidated in one place. They can be used without presenting paper documents.
To use the service, go to the catalog on the main page of the application My ID Select "Digital ID." The MAX messenger will open (if the app isn't installed, it will prompt you to download it and log in). Then click "Create Digital ID." To use electronic versions of documents, you'll need to log in to the app using your federal government services portal account, register in the unified biometric system, and then add your photo in the app.
The Digital ID service will display document cards that can be used in QR code format to verify age. It is planned that users will be able to present this QR code during age verification when purchasing goods at self-service checkouts. It will also be possible to use it to confirm student status or that of a member of a large family to qualify for benefits.
In the future, the range of scenarios for using electronic versions of documents from the "Digital ID" system will be expanded. It is planned to add hotel check-in options. New documents will also be available, accessible from the "My ID" app.
The Digital ID service was created to implement a state initiative in accordance with Federal Law No. 156-FZ of June 24, 2025. "On the creation of a multifunctional information exchange service and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation".
