It will be possible to use biometric data to board the train, if the railway carrier has the necessary technical capabilities. The relevant permission was issued by the Russian government, according to the office of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko.

Testing of the service will be conducted in 2025. Based on the results of technical tests, this service will be available to users of the Unified Biometric System.

It is assumed that biometrics will become an alternative to using paper tickets or passports, but not a complete replacement for them. Passengers will be given the opportunity to independently choose their preferred method of receiving services.
