The passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation is the main document proving the identity of a citizen of the country and is absolutely necessary for most actions, starting with acquiring a plane ticket and ending with buying a property or obtaining a loan from a bank.
The need to obtain a passport may arise in several cases:
- A citizen has reached the age of 14 years established by law.
- A citizen has reached the age of 20 years and 45 years.
- Passport Loss
- Change of surname of a citizen or other data.
In order to obtain a passport for the first time, in accordance with the FMS Administrative Regulation on the provision of public services for issuing, replacing and performing public services for the registration of passports of a citizen of the Russian Federation, identifying a citizen of the Russian Federation on the territory of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to submit to the FMS at the place of residence, registration or application package of documents, consisting of:
- Birth certificate
- Application form 1P for issuing a passport
- Proof of Russian citizenship
- Documents in accordance with which marking in the passport will be carried out (confirming registration at the place of residence, registration certificate)
- Two photographs of a person receiving a passport, size 35x45 mm, in color or black and white
- State duty receipt
The size of the fee is 200 rubles. When applying for a passport at the place of residence, the passport is issued within 10 days, otherwise - within 2 months.
Upon receipt of a passport in connection with reaching the age of 20 or 45 years, instead of a birth certificate, a citizen will need to present a valid passport. Otherwise, the procedure and terms for issuing a passport do not change.
Upon receipt of a passport in connection with its loss, instead of a birth certificate or a valid passport, an application for the loss of a passport will be required. It must indicate the circumstances of the loss of the passport. In case of loss of a passport, the amount of state duty is 500 rubles.
Upon receipt of a passport in connection with a change in the citizen's settings (surname, name, patronymic, gender, information about the date or place of birth, a significant change in appearance or the detection of inaccuracies in the entries), a valid passport must also be submitted.
