Instruction manual
1
Determine if you need an old-style passport or a biometric passport. Check to see if a biometric passport is issued in your FMS. Check the list of documents required in these cases.
2
Fill out the application form in 2 copies on a computer or typewriter. Or write by hand, and then specify when submitting documents who provides services for filling out the questionnaire. As a rule, for an additional fee, they will print a statement to you, or tell you where to do it. Or use the state portal of services to apply for a passport (but remember that you can only use the Internet when applying, you must bring all other documents in person).
3
Indicate the full name in the application form, and if you changed them, then indicate the date and place of change of personal data. If you have not changed, then indicate in the questionnaire - "Did not change (a)". Indicate the place of birth exactly as it is written on your passport. List in the fifth paragraph all the data on the place of residence, including the index and home phone. In the paragraph on the purpose of obtaining a passport, indicate - “For temporary trips abroad.” Fill in the columns with information about work and study over the past 10 years. If you have breaks in seniority, then make additional entries: indicate from what time and when you did not work. Since at the moment you are not officially working anywhere, indicate in the questionnaire that you are currently temporarily not working. If you don’t have a work book at all, then you must submit documents to the FMS, and not to the passport office. Unlike working citizens, you do not need to certify a questionnaire at work. The application form will be certified by an employee of the Federal Migration Service.
4
When answering the questionnaire, write only reliable information, otherwise you may be refused a passport.
5
Sign the form. If you are a student, and you do not yet have a work book, then assure the questionnaire in the dean's office. Pay the state fee.
6
Hand over all documents to the passport office at the place of residence or the FMS. Come on time and get a passport. Do not forget to bring your internal passport and an old foreign passport if it has not expired. If the passport has expired, but it has valid visas, write a request not to withdraw the passport.
note
The validity of the old passport is 5 years, the new biometric - 10 years.
