How can I request a service?

Submit a request via our e-service. If you don’t have a login and password, please register here before applying.

I don’t know what template form I need to use for my certificate. How do I find out which template I need?

Certificates issued on a template with a coat of arms and sealed with a stamp with the coat of arms are usually required for submission to consular services, embassies and state institutions (e.g., Russia’s Social Fund or Federal Tax Service). In other instances, a certificate on an HSE University letterhead bearing its own stamp will suffice.

How do I change languages in the e-service interface?

You can switch between languages in your personal account. To do this, go to your profile by clicking on the circle in the upper right corner of the screen and then select the first option “Profile” (“Профиль”). In the right-handed column, “Parameters” (“Параметры”), tap the first function – “Edit my profile” (“Редактировать профиль”). Then, in “Settings” (“Настройки”), you can change the language to English or Russian.  

My request doesn’t appear on the list of applications. Where can I find it?

If your request cannot be found, it means that it has been completed. You can find closed requests in your personal account, in the “All Requests” section. Then, you’ll need to change the “Submitted Requests” tab to the “Completed Requests” tab.
