On March 24, employees of the ARSFSD, led by Dmitry Rebrov, met with Moscow notaries Inna Ryazantseva and Elena Khodnevich.

The meeting aimed to raise awareness among deaf citizens about notarial legislation. The legal experts discussed key aspects of notarial work, covering many interesting topics, including those related to sports.

Below are some of the issues addressed during the meeting:

1. Documents Required for a Minor Athlete’s Travel to Competitions

For a minor athlete traveling to competitions within Russia or to visa-free countries (such as Belarus or Turkey), only a notarized consent from one parent is required, in addition to standard travel documents. However, for travel to European Union countries, consent from both parents is mandatory.

2. Discounts on Notary Services for Persons with Disabilities

Individuals with disabilities of the first or second group, as well as disabled children and those disabled since childhood, are eligible for discounts on notary services. For second-group disabilities, the 50% discount applies only to the federal portion of the tariff. Example: If a service costs 2,500 ₽ (comprising a regional rate of 2,000 ₽ and a federal rate of 500 ₽), the discount applies only to the 500 ₽ federal portion, reducing the total cost to 2,250 ₽. For first-group disabilities, the 50% discount applies to both the federal and regional portions, reducing the total cost in the same example to 1,250 ₽.

3. Inheritance of Sports Awards

Sports awards—such as medals, cups, diplomas, certificates, and other accolades—cannot be inherited, as this is not provided for under Russian law.

We extend our gratitude to Inna Ryazantseva and Elena Khodnevich for this informative and engaging meeting and look forward to continued collaboration in the future.
