Each person has a document proving his identity, and this document is a passport. Such situations happen when a passport is suddenly urgently needed, but you cannot find it. Well, if he got lost at home, and if not? You have lost your passport, what to do in this case, not everyone knows. And you won’t immediately understand where to start the search. Or do you need to immediately draw up a new document?
Loss of documents, including passports, is fraught with consequences that will be more serious than restoring them. That is why it is necessary to start acting as soon as possible.
If, nevertheless, a passport is lost, what do you know, but you don’t realize that the lost time spent on independent searches only played into the hands of scammers. You will be checked for involvement in the crime, you will prove that you have an alibi at the time of the scam. But, you guessed it, the problems will be serious.
First of all, you must apply for the loss of a passport to the Department of the FMS at the place of permanent residence or at the actual place of residence. It is necessary to provide the FMS officer with copies of birth certificates, registration or divorce certificates, four photographs of the established sample, a receipt of payment of the state fee for the passport form, an extract from the financial and personal account and home book (for permanent residence) or a copy of the registration certificate at the place stay.
To the question of what to do if a passport is missing, and you need an identity document, there is an answer: you declare it lost, and for the period of its execution, you should be given a temporary identity card.
If the civil passport has been stolen, you need to contact the district department of internal affairs, or the police department at the place of its theft, where you will file an application to invalidate the old passport. After 3-5 days you will be given a certificate, based on which you can draw up a new document.
Next, with an extract from the house book, with four photographs of the established sample, with a receipt for payment for a passport form and a police certificate, come to the Federal Migration Service of your area and describe in detail the situation in which the passport disappeared. Remember, you have to pay a fine for negligent or inaccurate storage of a civil passport, because of which it was lost or stolen. If you have lost your passport, what to do: you must pay a fine of 300 rubles, and if this is not the first time, then 500 rubles. Within two months, maybe earlier, you will receive a new civil passport.
Now let's talk about what to do if I lost my passport. You also need to contact the police at the place of his loss, or at the main place of residence. In the same way, we write a statement about the loss of a passport, and we get a coupon notifying that the application has been accepted from you. Then we collect documents, the same as with the loss of a civil passport, and submit them to the district department of the FMS. The package of documents must contain the same certificates as in case of loss of a civil passport, plus:
- Copies of all pages of a civil passport, with the exception of blank pages;
- Application form in duplicate;
- A copy of the work book (all pages with notes), a seal certifying their validity;
- Birth certificate (original and copy); if there is a child over the age of two years - three of his photographs;
- For men - a certificate from the military registration and enlistment office;
- For pensioners - photocopy of pension certificate;
- Receipt from the savings bank on the payment of state fees;
Now you know what if you lost your passport, what to do. Now you can prepare the application form for a passport at home on a computer. After entering all the necessary data, the application must be certified: if you are studying, the questionnaire must be certified at the educational institution, if you work - at the place of work, if you do not have a work book or you do not work - in the local ZhKO.
Thus, having lost your passport, you must go through the procedure for its restoration, which in the future will force you to handle documents more responsibly.
