Xiaomiβs Official Service Centers: How to Find the Nearest
The first step in a warranty is to determine which service center serves your region. Xiaomi works through a network of authorized partners, whose list is regularly updated. Importantly, not all workshops with the sign "Repair Xiaomi" are authorized to carry out warranty work - check the status of the center on the official website.
How to find the nearest service center:
- π Xiaomi official website: go to the Support section" β "Service centers. Use the filter by country and city: https://www.mi.com/ru/service/center/
- π± Mi Service: Available for Android and iOS, not only to find a center, but also to make an appointment online.
- π Hotline: for Russia β 8 800 555-05-65 (The operator will tell you the address and check whether the selected center accepts your model (for example, for example, the phone, POCO X5 Pro or Mi Band 8).
β οΈ Note: If you live in a small city without an authorized Xiaomi center, the device can be sent to a regional hub (for example, from Voronezh to Moscow), in which case the repair period will increase by 3-7 days due to logistics.
What documents are needed for warranty repair
Without the right package, even an obvious warranty breakdown (such as a display detachment on the Xiaomi 13 Lite) can be considered non-warranty.

- π Passport of the citizen: to conclude a contract for repairs. If the owner does not apply, a notarial power of attorney will be required.
- π± The device itself comes complete with charging and cable (if they were in the box).For example, the Xiaomi Pad 6 might require an original 33W power supply.
β οΈ Note: If you bought a device abroad (e.g. Xiaomi 14 in Dubai), the warranty will not be valid in Russia β even if the deadline has not expired.
