Appointment at a Russian consulate

Appointments at Russian consulates are booked through the consulate’s own online booking system — each embassy and consulate has its own. Below is how to book online step by step and what to do if no dates are available. If you order a power of attorney, a passport, a consent, a certificate or another consular service from us, under the “with appointment” tariff we book the appointment for you.

Two options in every tariff

Self-booking

You make an appointment yourself, and we, for our part, are ready to advise you at every stage

Full-service booking

We completely take care of the process of making an appointment; you just need to indicate the location of the consulates you plan to visit

How to book a Russian consulate appointment online

You can make an appointment at the Russian Consulate through the electronic system on the official website of the Russian Embassy or Consulate you need.

1

Go to the website of the Russian Embassy or Consulate you need

2

In the “Consular Services” or “Consular Section” section, select “Make an Appointment”

3

Go to the electronic recording system and select the service you need

4

Register to access a calendar with available dates and time slots

5

If it is impossible to select a day, this means that there are no free slots. If so, please add yourself to the waiting list.

6

An email with a link will be sent to the email address you provided during registration, which you must click on every day (exactly once a day) to increase your application rating. How long the wait takes depends on the consulate and the service.

We prepare documents and help you book a consulate appointment

We prepare a power of attorney, passport documents, a consent, a certificate and other consular documents and explain how to book an appointment. Under the “with appointment” tariff we book the appointment for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book a Russian consulate appointment online?
Through the online booking system on the website of the embassy or consulate you will visit: each has its own. Choose the service, register, pick a free date and save your application number — the steps are listed above on this page.
Can I book an appointment at a Russian consulate in another country?
Yes. A power of attorney and a passport can be issued at any Russian consulate, not only in the country where you live. If your consulate has had no free dates for a long time, check a neighbouring one: bookings are handled by the system of the consulate you will visit.
Can you help me book a consulate appointment?
Yes, if you order a document from us. Under the “with appointment” tariff we book the appointment: we watch the schedule and reserve a free date. Under the “without appointment” tariff you book yourself, and we tell you which service to choose in the system and what to do if there are no dates. Prices are on the Prices page.
How long is the wait for a Russian consulate appointment?
It depends on the consulate and the service. Some have free dates in the coming weeks; others release dates in batches that are taken quickly. Nobody, including the consulate, can give an exact wait time.
What if there are no free dates to book at the consulate?
Join the waiting list in the same booking system and check the schedule regularly: slots appear in batches and after cancellations. If you need a date sooner, check a consulate in a neighbouring country.
How does the consulate waiting list work?
If there are no free dates, the booking system offers to put you on the waiting list. You then receive an email with a link that you must open once a day to keep your application in the queue. When your turn comes, the system offers you an appointment date.
Can I book a consulate appointment for a specific date?
Only for a date that is open in the booking system. If you know your travel dates in advance, book as early as possible and keep checking the schedule: free slots also appear after cancellations.
Can I visit the consulate without an appointment if it is urgent?
Usually only by appointment. In emergencies — serious illness, death of a relative, urgent travel — the consulate may see you out of turn: write to the consulate, explain the situation and attach a supporting document. The decision is the consulate’s.
How do I check the status of my consulate appointment?
In the same booking system, using the application number and security code from the registration email. Save them right away: without them the application cannot be found.
How do I cancel or reschedule a consulate appointment?
You can cancel in the same system using the application number and security code. Moving it to another date is usually not possible: you cancel and pick a new free date. Cancel in advance so the slot goes to someone else.
What should I bring to my consulate appointment?
A valid passport, the appointment confirmation (a printout or the number), the documents for your service and money for the consular fee, which is paid at the appointment. Document lists are on the power of attorney and passport pages.
How do I register in the consulate booking system?
On the website of the consulate you need: enter your email and passport details, choose the service and confirm your email via the link in the message. Better not to use Gmail: consulates warn that emails to it are delivered unreliably.
Do you guarantee an appointment date?
No: dates are allocated by the consulate. We watch the schedule and use every official booking option.
