Once upon a time, even before smartphones and social networks, there was a special order - control over precious metals and stones. And this order still lives today. On the probpalata website. gov. ru is represented by the Federal Assay Office, an organization that takes responsibility for checking the quality, authenticity and legality of jewelry throughout Russia.
The site looks serious. There are no bright colors, but there is a clear structure, clear navigation, a lot of information about activities, documents, registers, licenses. You can find everything: how to check a store or product, how to sign up for branding, where to get information from the electronic register of special accounting. And also news that is updated literally every day. It seems like someone actually works here and isn't just running the site for form's sake.
It conducts assay supervision - that is, it makes sure that all jewelers, pawn shops, buyers and even jewelry artists comply with the rules. This is important: after all, precious metals are not just jewelry. These are assets, currencies, objects for money laundering. Therefore, strict, systematic control is needed here. The Chamber is engaged in refining, controls import and export, checks stores, helps market participants register for special registration. Yes, she even conducts examinations. And it has been doing this since 1700. How old? How many generations have passed, but the tasks are the same - protecting the interests of the state and consumers.
It is interesting that the chamber does not just supervise - it makes recommendations on best practices, develops guides, brochures, and instructions. There is a section with questions and answers, which will certainly be useful for beginners. You can write an appeal directly or through State Services. Everything is as it should be. There is even a version for the visually impaired - it’s clear that they care about accessibility.
The site is updated regularly. Latest news - about the participation of employees in events dedicated to Flag Day, a meeting with supervisory authorities before the FATF mutual evaluation round. What is FATF? Well, this is an international organization that monitors compliance with anti-money laundering laws. This means that Russia is subject to inspection, and the assay office is here for a reason - it is part of the control system.
There is also data: how much jewelry was branded in the first six months of 2025, the dynamics of sales of gold and silver, the volume of new products introduced from 2010 to 2024. This is information that is difficult to find anywhere else. It is needed by analysts, entrepreneurs, and journalists. And all this - on one site.
There is also a place for ordinary people.Everyone can check the store, check their jewelry, find out who the manufacturer of the bar is, and sign up for hallmarking. However, you need to understand that the process is not instantaneous. There are electronic queues. But it is transparent. There are no dark corners, no closed procedures.
You need to go to the probpalata website. gov. ru, find the section Check jewelry, enter the data from the stamp or serial number. The system will show whether the product is registered and complies with the law.
There is an electronic queue for individuals and market participants. Registration is available through the website - just select the desired category and choose a convenient time.
It is better not to allow this to happen. But if it has already happened, you need to contact FPP specialists. There are lists of those at risk, as well as recommendations for correcting the situation.
Officially, it has been operating since 1700, that is, for more than three centuries. This is one of the oldest government authorities in the field of control over the jewelry trade.
Yes, on the site it is possible to obtain information about organizations that deal with precious metals and stones. Just enter the data and the system will display the result.
