The issuance of a passport to a citizen of the Russian Federation constitutes a public service. For its provision, as well as for other types of public services, it is necessary to pay the established amount of the state duty.
The size of the state fee for issuing a foreign passport to a citizen of the Russian Federation depends on what type of document he wants to receive.
State duty for a passport
The fact is that today a citizen of the Russian Federation who needs a passport can choose one of two types of documents: an ordinary passport, consisting of paper pages, or a new generation passport containing an electronic storage medium. The first of them will be valid for 5 years, while the second will allow you to travel outside the Russian Federation without replacing the document for 10 years.
However, a new passport will cost the owner a little more than a regular document. So, article 333.28 of the current Tax Code of the Russian Federation, registered in the code of laws of our countries under the number 117-ФЗ dated August 5, 2000, establishes that the state fee for issuing a standard passport is 1000 rubles, while for issuing a passport with electronic media you will have to pay already 2500 rubles.
