Why was my billing account created with the PAYMENT_NOT_CONFIRMED status?
To activate a billing account for a non-resident of the Russian Federation, you must receive confirmation from Yandex Cloud managers.
When you click the Create button on the Create billing account page, a billing account is created with the PAYMENT_NOT_CONFIRMED status. An email with further instructions is sent to the email address specified in your Yandex or Yandex 360 account. It may take up to three business days to activate your account.
I didn't receive an email with instructions on what to do after creating a billing account. Why?
It may take up to three business days to activate your billing account.
If you didn't receive an email within that period, send a request to: cloud_docs@support.yandex.ru.
In the request, specify the full name of your company and cloud ID and attach the following documents:
- A copy of the certificate of business registration (English or Russian translation required).
- A copy of the power of attorney of the business representative if you are a representative (English or Russian translation required).
