In comparison with obtaining a foreign passport by a capable adult citizen, for a child under 14 years old, it has a number of features. Let's analyze this issue in more detail.
A foreign passport for a minor child can be issued on the basis of an application from one of the parents or a legal representative (guardian, custodian).
For minors, as well as for adults, it is possible to obtain an identity card for traveling abroad of one of two types:
- old-style, without electronic data carrier, with a 5-year validity period;
- biometric, with electronic carrier, valid for 10 years.
What type of passport is better to issue for a child, parents decide on their own. Below is a brief overview of the procedure for obtaining each of the documents.
