Amendments to legislation on registration of Russian and foreign citizens

January 3, 2013

Vladimir Putin signed Federal Law On Amendments to Federal Law On the Right of Citizens of the Russian Federation to the Freedom of Movement and Choice of Residence within the Russian Federation and the Penal Code of the Russian Federation.

The federal law is aimed at improving the legislation on registration of Russian and foreign citizens and stateless persons.

The law applies to the Russian citizens sentenced to compulsory labour, as well as foreign citizens and stateless persons sentenced to compulsory labour, as regards their registration at place of their stay in penitentiary system facilities. In addition, the federal law eliminates the gap in the Russian legislation with regard to the registration of persons sentenced to imprisonment.
