Patent - a document allowing foreign citizens to work in the territory of the Russian Federation. In addition, some local entrepreneurs use the patent taxation system in Russia: it’s easier to pay taxes to the state. An important role is played by patent readiness. Ideally, when ordering a document, you can find out at any time whether it is ready. But how to do that? In fact, everything is not as difficult as it seems.
Verification Methods
A patent can be checked in several ways. Usually, after a citizen submits a request for a document, they will need to activate SMS informing. When a patent for a mobile device is ready, a notification will come. But that is not all.
How can I check the patent readiness? There are three options:
- SMS informing;
- personal appeal to the FMS with a request for readiness;
- check online.
Next will be described in more detail about each method. Finding out whether a labor patent is ready for a citizen is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.
SMS informing
As already mentioned, the readiness of the document to a person will be notified via SMS. This innovation made life easier for citizens.
When applying for the grant / renewal of a patent, it is necessary to indicate in it a valid mobile phone number. And then - wait. As soon as the patent is ready, the person will receive an SMS message asking them to come to the FMS with a passport in order to pick up the document.
But what if a person does not have a phone? Or did he suddenly change the number? And sometimes, for one reason or another, SMS does not come at all. Therefore, you need to keep in mind alternative ways to learn about patent readiness.
Personal visit to the FMS
You can personally go to the FMS at the place of registration of the citizen and find out all the information of interest. What needs to be done in this case:
- Take a passport and go to the FMS at the place of registration / registration.
- Contact the staff of the registration authority with a request for information on the readiness of the document.
- Name, series and passport number. You can just show your ID.
Employees will check the readiness of the document on the basis of information available. However, sometimes employees refuse to deal with this issue, citing the availability of SMS information. Therefore, this method is not always effective. However, you can find out about patent readiness online.

More precisely, the following documents are needed to obtain a patent:
