    Do they say if they are going to send your FAN-ID right away? Have you received a tracking code?

    I found this on the questions and answers section: "The estimated delivery time for a FAN ID to a foreign country is 30 days. Delivery to the Russian border post office takes 7 to 11 days. After this period, please check the delivery time of the local postal operator".

    However, they doesn't say if they are going to send the FAN-ID right after its approval or only after a certain date. As I'm going to Europe a bit before the WC, I'm uncertain if I should choose the delivery by mail or if I should pick up in person in Russia.

    I applied for FAN ID for myself and 3 other people at the same time. I have received emails stating that all 3 other people have been accepted (back to back, same day within minutes of each other) and they will be mailed. I am still waiting on my acceptance. Has anyone else experienced this? Don't want to freak out just yet.

    Same thing here. I finally called and they said that it was accepted/approved. Even though I never received an email or text approving.

    The FanID replaces the need to apply for a Visa, correct? (US citizen)

    Yes.

    Me,I don´t know how to upload a photo...I am over 50 years old and we didn´t do things like upload photos on internet when I was growing up..we were mostly out playing football..or bandy.
    I´ll sort it via more technical advanced friends.

    Worst case, you can just go to a passport photo shop and have them do it. But yeah... better to reach out to friends since then it doesn't cost anything.

    However, if you must get it done at a passport photo shop I would not leave the shop until the photo is successfully uploaded on the FanID website. I took had to upload about 20 photos before one was finally accepted.

    FYI for eveyone. There's also a section on the website that will tell you if it's been approved or not.

    Well, in my case when I applied I received a sms right away saying that my "FAN ID application # has been accepted". At first, I thought this accepted meant approved, but not. When I check the email I also got one within minutes after applying, stating that my application was "registered".

    The following day, I got a sms saying that my "FAN ID application # has been approved". But didn't get another email.

    Right now, my status on the website is:
    Application Status: Approved
    Delivery state: not processed

    Another question about the funky formatting of the address. I live in Washington, DC in the US. There's no way that my address gets translated on this form.

    If I selected the home delivery option but my Fan ID never makes it, am I still able to collect my Fan ID through another method?

    You can have it delivered to a visa center in DC. I assume that if you don’t get the physical ID in time, they’ll email a PDF version. They issued PDFs as the Confeds got closer. People were able to get into Russia with the PDF, but it had to be exchanged for the physical ID to get into the stadiums.

    I have a question.

    During the Phase 1 Lottery, My gf applied on her account for 7 IMT and only got 1 game for her and I as well as 2 others (total of 4). she applied and approved for FAN ID with it. I have not yet applied for FAN ID

    During the Phase 1 FCFS, My gf logged in through her account, but it wouldn't let her select any matches because we had met the 7 game restriction (even though we only won 1 match)

    I decided to give it a go through my account. I was able to purchase TST7 for just me and her.

    Now will this be a problem in regards to the FAN ID since she has to get another FAN ID with the TST purchase to be able to pick up tickets for the later rounds in Russia?

    Will they flag her if she applied for a FAN ID a second time?

    Can she cancel the first FAN ID for the 1 game and apply for the FAN ID again with TST7.. or is it even necessary to apply for another FAN ID?

    Need some advise.

    I'm in that exact position, as mine expires early next year.

    As far as I can tell, applying for tickets isn't an issue (document number on the application can easily be changed) but I can't apply for a Fan ID (and therefore free train tickets) until i've got my new passport.

    My status went from "Approved" to "Printed" today. I applied for the ID on October 30th, got an email on the 31st that it was approved. Did not receive an email or a text saying it had changed to printed, though. Only found out by looking at the website. So, if you applied around the same date, yours might be changing soon, too.

    Let us know if it changes to "sent", if you didn't choose to pick up in Russia.

    I selected postal delivery to the US.


    The address looks all screwed up:

    I hope the USPS can figure it out....

    Hi I bought a ticket from a third party site, Viagogo. I want to know how I would register for a Fan-ID since I didn't buy it through FIFA.
     
  24. You are going to need someone to add your name/passport to their tix.
