Before the period of vacation, citizens often remember that they do not have one necessary thing for the upcoming trip - a passport. Indeed, without this identity card it is impossible to enter even those states that have canceled visas for Russians. So how do you get this passport?

Instruction manual
1
Decide what type of passport you want to apply for. There are two of them - the old and the new sample. The old passport is issued for five years, and the biometric document of the "new generation" - for ten years. They differ with the amount of duty. In 2011, the state had to pay 2500 rubles for a ten-year passport, and 1000 rubles for an old-type document.
2
Having chosen a passport, fill out a form to receive it. It can be obtained in person at the FMS department or, even easier, download from the organization’s website. To do this, go to the FMS website in the "Passport" section and at the bottom of the page you will see links for downloading the questionnaire on the old passport and the "new generation". Print one of these questionnaires in duplicate and fill out. Do not forget to put the date of information and signature. Then the questionnaires will need to be submitted to the human resources department or the secretariat at the place of work or study. There they must be certified by the signature of the responsible officer and a round seal.
3
Pay the state fee. You can either print the receipt of the FMS website or fill out a receipt in accordance with the sample, which can be found in any branch of Sberbank.
4
If you are going to get an old type passport, take photos first. For a document with a ten-year validity period, you will be photographed on the spot, in the FMS department.
5
Submit documents for a passport. In some regions, you can make an appointment online via the Internet for convenience. You can find out how to do this on the regional portal of your FMS, which can be accessed from the main site. But keep in mind that recording can be a month or two in advance.
Your children can be inscribed in the old-style passport, so their birth certificates must also be added to the documents.
6
Wait for your passport to be made. It usually takes a month.
note
Some categories of citizens may be denied a passport, and, therefore, travel abroad. These are primarily people with access to state secrets and those who evade military service.
