The main results of research. The "legal regime of records management" is the established legal procedure for documenting information and organizing work with documents. The activity of executive authorities for the production of documented information has its own specifics. If analyze the normative legal acts, it can be stated that the system of legislation that regulates the implementation of documentation operations in the structure of executive authorities of the Russian Federation needs to be modified by specifying a number of existing provisions and including new ones.Conclusions.
