Upon receipt of a passport with the latest updates of 2017!

In accordance with federal law RF, internal passport of a Russian citizen cannot be an identity card from the moment of crossing the state border. To travel abroad, you need to issue a passport. This document is not required for persons who have a diplomatic or service passport (issued for the duration of a business trip). When visiting a number of countries with a sailor's passport, you are also required to have a passport.

Today, both old-style and new-style passports are issued - biometric. From March 1, 2010, foreign passports with electronic media are issued for a period of 10 years. In this document, the number of pages has been increased to 46, the security of the passport against forgery and the reliability in determining the identity of its owner have been increased. Everyone can still get an old-style international passport valid for 5 years.

Issuance of a new passport is not allowed without the withdrawal of a previously issued document, if its validity period has not expired. At the same time, biometric passports for a period of 5 years, issued before March 1, 2010, are considered valid until the expiration of their validity.

The application can be completed on a computer. You can download the application form for a passport and instructions for filling it out on the official website Federal Migration Service of Russia. Handwritten applications may also be submitted. In this case, the questionnaire must be filled out legibly, in block letters, in black ink, without errors or corrections.

Where to get?

To obtain a passport, a citizen of the Russian Federation must personally appear at the department of the Office of the Federal migration service(contacts of the departments of the Federal Migration Service in Moscow and St. Petersburg are given). Travel agencies or other commercial firms are not entitled to take over the issuance of a passport and can only provide a legal service by filling out a questionnaire.

Documents are submitted personally on a first-come, first-served basis, so you should choose the time of visiting this institution in advance. The smallest flow of visitors is observed during the non-tourist season ( autumn months, beginning of the year).

Since April 2010, Russian citizens have the opportunity to send an application for registration of international passports via the Internet.

To apply for an old-style international passport on the Internet, you must fill out electronic form on the site Unified portal of public services. After processing the application by the FMS employees, the applicant is assigned a date and time for submitting documents for issuing a passport to the district office of the FMS at the place of registration or temporary registration. After that, the applicant receives a letter with notification of the date and time of issuance of the finished foreign passport. Thus, despite the application for a passport through the Internet, in order to obtain a document, it will be necessary to come to the FMS twice.

If the applicant wants to apply biometric passport via the Internet, he will have to visit the passport office twice as well. The first time in order to submit documents at the appointed time and take a three-dimensional photo, the second - to get a passport.

Getting a passport

To receive a ready-made passport, you must also personally appear at the FMS department. Of the documents you will need to present an internal passport. The document of a child under the age of 14 is received by his legal representative upon presentation of his Russian passport and birth certificate of the child.

Foreign passports for teenagers from 14 to 18 years old are also issued only in the presence of their parents, guardians, etc. You must have two internal Russian passports: the recipient and his representative.

Biometric passport

A biometric passport differs from an old-style document in that it contains an electronic carrier of information about the owner. The new passport has a plastic page in which a contactless chip with an antenna is implanted. The scheme contains the personal data of a person contained on the first page of the passport: digital photograph, last name, first name and patronymic, date of birth, gender, passport number, date of issue and expiration date of the passport. It can also be written biometric information owner. For example, fingerprints or an image of the iris. A note that the document contains biometric data is placed on the front cover of the passport.

Issuance of a new passport is not allowed without the withdrawal of a previously issued passport of any type, if its validity period has not expired.

Why do you need a new passport?

To issue a new passport instead of the old document is the exclusive right of the applicant. The disseminated information that some countries do not allow holders of old-type passports to enter their territory is not reliable. There is also no information that the issuance of old passports will supposedly be stopped in the near future.

A biometric passport does not provide any visa benefits and does not facilitate border control. True, in the future it is expected that the holders of new passports will be able to cross the border faster due to the installation of special equipment that reads information from the document automatically. In the meantime, the "passport of the XXI century" provides almost the only advantage: at some airports there are special kiosks for self-registration, which read information from the electronic chip in the passport. This allows you not to stand in line for registration and save time.

Today we have to find out where to apply for a passport. This question arises among citizens who decide to start traveling the world.
