The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for the following procedure for changing information on a representative office (branch) of a foreign company:

The following documents shall be submitted to the authorised body in order to make changes:

  • a power of attorney for representatives (if the documents are submitted and received by representatives)

The same requirements apply to these documents as to preparation of documents for accreditation.

  • The authorized body for accreditation of a branch (representative office) of a foreign company, except for branches (representative offices) of foreign companies in the field of civil aviation and credit organizations is the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation. The functions of accreditation of branches (representative offices) of foreign organizations are assigned to the Interdistrict Inspectorate No. 47 of the Federal Tax Service in Moscow.
  • For credit organizations - the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
  • For airlines - Federal Air Transport Agency.

3. The application and documents should be submitted to the authorized body within 15 calendar days from the date of change of information.
