A citizen's passport is the main state document proving the person’s identity and citizenship. The passport is made in the form of a booklet and contains identification information about the owner: his name, surname, middle name, date of birth, photo, gender, place of birth and citizenship (name of the country that issued the passport). To cross the border of states you need to have a passport with you that confirms your identity.

Upon reaching 14 years, contact the Federal Migration Service of Russia to obtain an internal passport. Write a statement of the established form (the application form will certainly be in the FMS). The application is filled in typewritten or manual way. If suddenly a person is not able to write an application on his own, then an employee of the migration service must do this for him. The following should be attached to the application:
- birth certificate, if you did not find it, then any other document proving your identity;
- two photographs measuring 35x45 mm;
- a document that certifies your citizenship of the Russian Federation;
- receipt of state duty.

Reaching your 20 or 45 years old, replace your passport. This requires:

- passport to be replaced;
- two photographs measuring 35x45 mm.

Also, be sure to replace the passport in such circumstances:
- change of name, surname, patronymic, date or place of birth;
- when changing sex;
- the passport is no longer suitable due to heavy wear or has been damaged;
- other good reasons, which include, for example, the loss of a document or its theft.
Also, when applying, you should have with you documents that certify the reason for replacing the passport.

Get a provisional identity card that is issued before you receive your passport.

To get a passport, wait no more than 10 days when applying at the place of registration. Or 2 months if you get a passport in any other department of the FMS. It is worth noting that obtaining a passport is a paid service. The cost depends on the place and timing of its execution.
