Return Mailing & Registration

If you wish to have your passport(s) returned via overnight mail via FedEx to an address within the United States, please add $25.00. If more than one visa in your family or group is being processed and they are all being returned to the same address, then just one payment of $25.00 will cover the return over-night service for all.

Russian law requires you to register your visa within 72 hours of arriving in Russia. When you're staying at a hotel, the reception clerk will register your visa automatically upon check in. If you are not staying at a hotel, you can register your visa at the office of our affiliate in Moscow or at most post offices.
