Beginning in 2010, citizens of Russia can apply for two types of international passports: an old-style familiar to everyone and a new biometric international passport. The newest passport is different in that it has a service life twice as long as its predecessor (10 years), a chip with all the information about the owner, which is impossible to fake, and more visa sheets. And the procedure for its registration is almost no different from the old passport.
