Editing Romanization of Russian (section)

===Transliteration of names on Russian passports===
In [[Soviet passport|Soviet international passport]]s, transliteration was based on French rules but without diacritics and so all names were transliterated in a {{ill|French-style system|fr|Transcription du russe en français|lt=French-style system.}}<ref name="Order No. 310">{{cite web|author1=Ministry of Internal Affairs|author-link1=Ministry of Internal Affairs (Russia)|title=Order No. 310 (26 May 1997)|url=http://pravo.gov.ru/ipsdata/?docbody=&nd=102093506&rdk=2|language=ru|access-date=9 March 2017|archive-date=13 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180613111928/http://pravo.gov.ru/ipsdata/?docbody=&nd=102093506&rdk=2|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 1997, with the introduction of new [[Russian passport]]s, a diacritic-free English-oriented system was established by the [[Ministry of Internal Affairs (Russia)|Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs]],<ref name="Order No. 310" /><ref>{{cite news|author1=Ministry of Internal Affairs|author-link1=Ministry of Internal Affairs (Russia)|title=Order No. 1047 (31 December 2003)|url=http://www.rg.ru/2004/01/22/pasport-doc.html|issue=3386|publisher=[[Rossiyskaya Gazeta]]|date=22 January 2004|language=ru|access-date=24 February 2011|archive-date=25 September 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110925234657/http://www.rg.ru/2004/01/22/pasport-doc.html|url-status=live}}</ref> but the system was also abandoned in 2010.

In 2006, GOST R 52535.1-2006 was adopted, which defines technical requirements and standards for Russian international passports and introduces its own system of transliteration. In 2010, the [[Federal Migration Service]] of Russia approved Order No. 26,<ref>{{cite news|author1=Federal Migratory Service|author-link1=Federal Migratory Service (Russia)|title=Order No. 26 (3 February 2010)|url=https://rg.ru/2010/03/05/pasport-dok.html|issue=5125|publisher=[[Rossiyskaya Gazeta]]|date=5 March 2010|language=ru|access-date=9 March 2017|archive-date=12 March 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170312044857/https://rg.ru/2010/03/05/pasport-dok.html|url-status=live}}</ref> stating that all personal names in the passports issued after 2010 must be transliterated using GOST R 52535.1-2006. Because of some differences between the new system and the old one, citizens who wanted to retain the old version of a name's transliteration, especially one that had been in the old pre-2010 passport, could apply to the local migration office before they acquired a new passport. The standard was abandoned in 2013.

{{anchor|After 2013}}
In 2013, Order No. 320<ref>{{cite news|author1=Federal Migratory Service|author-link1=Federal Migratory Service (Russia)|title=Order No. 320 (15 October 2012)|url=https://rg.ru/2013/03/27/pasporta-dok.html|issue=6041|publisher=[[Rossiyskaya Gazeta]]|date=27 March 2013|language=ru|access-date=9 March 2017|archive-date=12 March 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170312044523/https://rg.ru/2013/03/27/pasporta-dok.html|url-status=live}}</ref> of the [[Federal Migration Service]] of Russia came into force. It states that all personal names in the passports must be transliterated by using the [[International Civil Aviation Organization|ICAO]] [[ICAO romanization|system]], which is published in Doc 9303 "''Machine Readable Travel Documents, Part 3''". The system differs from the GOST R 52535.1-2006 system in two things: '''ц''' is transliterated into ''ts'' (as in pre-2010 systems), '''ъ''' is transliterated into ''ie'' (a novelty).<!-- The latter seems to be for Bulgarian. -->
