In 1999, amendments to the law on entry and exit entered into force in Russia, thanks to which Russians can apply for passports in any OVIR regardless of registration. In addition, now people who often travel on business trips can draw up a second such document. This is possible for people traveling abroad at least once a month.

Instruction manual
1
To apply for a second passport, you no longer have to wait a whole year in order to present marks with monthly trips abroad for 12 months to the OVIR. This can be done earlier, subject to certain rules. To apply for it, you must also have a job application.
2
The use of two passports is permitted only in connection with the professional activities of a person, and not the desire to just see the world. The easiest way to get them is for civil servants. They are issued diplomatic or official passports. Members of their families (minor children and spouse) may also apply for such.
3
However, at the end of the trip abroad, the owner of a diplomatic or service passport is obliged to return him to the organization that sent him abroad. Ordinary mortals, who often leave their homeland due to their professional activities, can also receive a second document (provided they travel abroad at least 1 time per month).
4
To obtain a second passport, you will need to make sure that your present passport has marks on crossing the state border over the past three months. If everything is in order, write a petition to the head of the UMVS department. It should be executed on behalf of the organization sending you on business trips, on its form verified with the signature of the head.
5
In the application, indicate the reasons why you need a second passport, the current number (series, number, who issued it), and also that you do not have the right to an official or diplomatic passport. Attach a standard package of documents to the application to receive: a questionnaire, photographs, a work book, a certificate from the military registration and enlistment office, etc.
note
The period of the second passport corresponds to the period of validity of the first.
Helpful advice
In case of refusal to issue a passport, make sure that the corresponding entry was made in the FMS journal together with an indication of the reason. Then these actions can be appealed to higher authorities.
