How to pass the identification procedure on "Yandex. Money "is not the Russians

Why do you love "Yandex"? Hard to decide? Russian Internet titan has penetrated into many areas of our lives, offering several dozen search and information, entertainment and personal services. But apart for me is worth a purse "Yandex. Money".
Recently, "Yandex" has introduced new restrictions in their payment system, significantly curtailing the rights of anonymous users. Many began to forced necessity of the procedure of identification of his personality. If Russian citizens process takes place under the simplified scheme, that for foreigners it looks a bit more complicated.
In this article, I am a citizen of the Republic of Belarus, to share their own experiences exit out of the shadows and talk about some of the difficulties with which I was able to meet during the passage of the identification.
legislator kick
All the fuss is spun after the entry into force Federal Law "On the national payment system" and "On counteraction to legalization (laundering) of proceeds from crime and terrorist financing." As we can see, to blame for the inconveniences the company itself, "Yandex" does not have to. Although the authorities do not need to blame, yet the government is opposed to the illegal turnover of cash. Therefore, the kick is directed not towards peaceful people, and in the soft tissue of terrorists and black tycoons.
Restrictions put in the limit of the amount of payment and geography. Anonymous can hold only 15 thousand rubles for a time, and only Russian stores. That's where the right end. Let's face it, nothing at all.
Authenticated users can pay 100 thousand rubles checks (including foreign stores), as well as transfer money to other accounts (or bank card) and withdraw money from your purse. Simply put, you can twist, twirl any operations. Full "minced".
So the question "Pass or not?" In principle it is not necessary to purse an active user of the "Yandex". Next, for identification! How? Just!
Theory
Immediately, I note that your identity checks - a fairly simple exercise.
You need:
- download the application form and fill it with their passport data;
- make a photocopy of the passport and the main turn page with registration;
- assure separate copy of your passport and signature in a statement by a notary;
- send certified paper in the office, "Yandex".
Of course, it is necessary to make sure that a copy of the passport was well read.
Just in case, let me remind you that the notary - is not any person with a legal diploma and Counsel of your company. Notary - the person specifically authorized to perform notarial acts. It has a license to carry out notarial activities and records every action in accordance with the laws of its country of registration.
notary services cost money. In my case, the testimony of a copy of the passport and witnessing signatures in a statement paid separately. In sum, it was about $ 20. Notary stitched documents, bonded seal and put them in your contact information. What for? According to her, the security service of "Yandex" may well want to call the notary, certify documents, in order to verify its physical existence. Reasonable. So take the business card of a notary, and throw it in the mail sending e - will not be superfluous.
Do not skimp on the letter. Submit documents to the delivery, because there are legends about Russian mail. I do not want to their money and time to verify these stories and to send the papers again.
For citizens of some countries there is one condition: the assurances necessary to affix the stamp "Apostille". The list of countries«luckiest ", as well as send and address information can be found at page identification procedures.
Practice
In most parts of Russia now stands summer, so the sled pulled by mail to the recipient for a long time. "Yandex" has warned that the shipment may take several weeks, and then begin processing the data. It may take up to 20 days.
I forwarded the documents in the middle of May until the end of June, there was silence. Maybe she went on, if I was not disturbed support "Yandex. Money". I was curious if my documents have been received. He received an affirmative answer and a request to wait the beginning of the verification procedure. And yet I was promised that "as soon as the first results, you'll know about it immediately." "Cool! - I thought. - soon will receive a letter or notice (SMS) on your phone, and I'll be happy. " Nope, it did not happen.
As time went on, I come mid-July. It's time again to write letters, even though they were asked not to bother with trifles. I responded. As it turned out, in my personal account is already hanging button confirm identity. I do not know how long ago reviewed my documents - immediately after the re-treatment or before - but the need to confirm the information I have so no one warned. It is not good. Plus, the button could be more expressive and persuasive something. I would like to make it about himself stated at a glance.
We proceed to the verification of data. I wonder how information is processed in the "Yandex" - manually or with software? Why am I? My middle name V. was recognized as E.. In these patronymic little in common, as for me. But fact is fact. So I had to fill out a form about the data infidelity. In support of my innocence from me is required to send a photo of the passport. What for? Apparently, the internal structure does not allow you to transmit documents. Therefore, we strongly recommend to pay attention to each letter and number of the information provided by you. Mistakes happen.
That was the end of my ordeal. In late July I was able to get the status of the identified user. For everything it took more than two months. I will not point at anyone. Maybe mail to blame; may, "Yandex" brakes; maybe I was not paying attention. And most likely, all on a bit.
conclusion
In the final lines I want to mention the speed of the work support. All my letters I received answers in a matter of hours or less.
I'd love to "Yandex" gave its users know about each step of the identification procedure: receiving documents, the beginning and the end of review, security check. It would be convenient for those who give interest on money transfers from his own pocket. Yet they are for us, not we for them.
Some of my friends do not bother and do not spend money. They found on the Internet passport data of Russians and successfully merged their "Yandex" as Russian citizens. Should I do that? You decide. But I would still not recommend, especially if you intend to use the wallet when paying via foreign banks.
