Renewal of a passport according to the procedure is practically no different from its usual registration. However, this process has its own difficulties and peculiar "pitfalls", which often become an obstacle to updating a passport.
You will need
- - A photocopy of an ordinary passport and work book (last 10 years of work);
- - 4 photos (for biometric - 2);
- - A photocopy of the first page of the old passport;
- - military ID and certificate No. 32 from the military registration and enlistment office, or registration certificate (for men of military age);
- - photocopy of registration;
- - application for the preservation of the old passport;
- - application form (for issuing a biometric passport).
Instruction manual
1
If the passport is replaced due to damage or loss, you must first obtain a certificate of the appropriate sample by contacting the police or the consulate (if the document was lost abroad, you will need to issue an additional certificate of return).
2
Next, you need to collect all the necessary documents and fill out the questionnaire. If the passport was never found, then in paragraph number 16 of the application you need to indicate the series and number of the document, as well as sign the necessary status (“lost.”) When replacing the passport with a new applicant, you must submit an old document to be canceled. In this case, in the application, under the same paragraph number 16, you must indicate in the note "will be delivered." If the passport has been damaged, it will also need to be returned as at the expiration date. If the reason for replacing the passport is a change of surname, then an additional certificate of marriage or divorce will be required.
3
Then you must also come to the FMS at the place of residence and give all the collected and completed documents. Further processing by time is no different from the usual receipt of a passport (about 1 month, sometimes more). The term for issuing depends on how quickly the verification of the submitted data will take place by the departments of the Central Administrative Bureau, the Federal Security Service and the Department of Internal Affairs. The passport can be replaced and obtained in a shorter time (within no more than 3 working days) if there are grounds for urgent re-issuance (serious illness or death of a close relative that requires departure from the territory of the Russian Federation).
note
If the reason for replacing the document is some other factor (other than loss, change of surname or damage to the document), then the FMS employees may refuse to accept documents. The instruction for issuing passports does not contain any other cases than the above.
