The "Electronic Inspector" business self-check service has been updated in the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

      The self-check service for businesses "Electronic Inspector" has been updated in the Nizhny Novgorod Region: https://самопроверка.рф. It allows legal entities and entrepreneurs to anonymously check their activities for compliance with legal requirements.

      For a self-check, businesses complete online questionnaires (scenarios) consisting of a list of questions that reflect legislative requirements within the corresponding type of oversight (environmental oversight, energy supervision, land control, oversight of hiring people with disabilities, and others).

      The content and order of questions change depending on users' answers to previous questions. Thus, when completing a self-check, an entrepreneur sees only the set of requirements that apply to their business within that type of oversight, saving time on searching for and studying all legislation. This practice helps reduce the overall number of violations (which in some cases, for example in aviation, can be critical for both the organization and citizens) and, accordingly, the number of fines.

      "The 'Electronic Inspector' is in high demand among businesses because it allows them to quickly check themselves and correct violations before the arrival of regulatory bodies. A total of 108 self-check scenarios have been created on the service covering 47 types of oversight at all levels, 7 of them in 2025. The new scenarios relate to the fields of additional education, advertising and trade. In addition, the service’s design has been updated and a large informational section has been added, which collects information on regional oversight. The portal provides access to regulatory acts, common violations and recommendations, and links to useful portals in the field of supervisory activities and business," said Yegor Polyakov, Deputy Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

      If an entrepreneur complies with all legal requirements, the system offers them the option to voluntarily issue a declaration of compliance with mandatory requirements. By law they have the right to post the declaration on their website, thereby demonstrating the safety of the business for the public and the environment as a whole.

      "By early 2026, 370 declarations have been issued and more than 200,000 self-checks have been completed. We regularly update the service according to business requests. At present, entrepreneurs draw attention to the speed, convenience and relevance of the platform, and the quality of the self-check tests. New users note the very format of the self-check, as they essentially use the information in it as a training course," emphasized Denis Ismagilov, Minister of Economic Development and Investments of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

      The service is primarily intended for self-checks by Nizhny Novgorod companies, but it is also available to organizations from other regions. The average self-check time is less than 50 minutes, whereas the duration of an on-site inspection under the law is up to 10 working days.

      Earlier, in 2019–2024, scenarios were created on the portal for oversight in transport, public catering, veterinary medicine, ecology, compliance with antimonopoly legislation, trade, the consumer sphere and pricing, land relations, housing, forestry, migration, internet advertising and other areas.

      Recall that since 2025 business support activities have become part of the national project "Effective and Competitive Economy", implemented by order of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. In 2022 the project to create the "Electronic Inspector" portal was included in the top-100 best projects for business at the forum "Strong Ideas for a New Time" of the Autonomous Nonprofit Organization "Agency for Strategic Initiatives to Promote New Projects", and in 2024 it was added to the best practices database of the "Smartek" service.
