GMO Brand Security’s Support Measures Featured on ITmedia NEWS Regarding Mandatory ID Verification for Russian ".ru" Domains

On Friday, July 31, 2026, ITmedia NEWS featured GMO Brand Security’s support measures following the Russian government’s announcement requiring identity verification for administrators of Russian-related domain names, including ".ru", ".рф", and ".su".

Starting September 1, 2026 (local time), the Russian government plans to mandate identity verification via its e-government portal "Gosuslugi." Domain names that fail to complete verification by the deadline face suspension and subsequent deletion. In response to these regulatory changes, GMO Brand Security is guiding clients without a local legal entity in Russia to utilize our local proxy service, "Trustee Service." GMO Brand Security strongly advises corporate entities using Russian-related domains to review their current operational status and take prompt action to mitigate potential risks to their business operations.
