Replacement of a passport after marriage refers to an unplanned replacement of the main document of a citizen of the Russian Federation. After registering the marriage, you need to go through the procedure of the spouse who changed his name. If the newlyweds have taken a surname different from the previous surname of the husband and wife, the passport must be changed for both spouses.
Why do I need a replacement passport after the wedding
Some people prefer not to rush or part with old documents. And by the way, by law, the replacement of a passport after marriage must be completed within one month from the date of marriage. After the expiration of this period, the old passport is considered invalid, and a citizen of the Russian Federation no longer has the right to use this document. And, as a result, cannot take a loan, withdraw money from a savings book, buy a train or plane ticket.
And if a citizen turns to the passport office after 30 days, he will be fined up to 2500 rubles.
Registration of a new passport
Replacement of a passport during marriage is made out in the territorial offices of the FMS. The timing of a new document depends on which department a citizen will apply to: at the place of residence - a period of 10 days, when applying outside the place of residence - up to two months.
The state duty for this service is 200 rubles. Replacement of a passport after marriage is carried out after providing a package of the following documents:
- application in form 1P;
- two passport photos 35 × 45, color or black and white;
- old passport, it is subject to seizure;
- certificate of registration and other documents to confirm marks in the passport: certificate of registration, birth certificates of children and others;
- certificate of change of surname;
- Receipt of payment.
The countdown for the registration of a new passport starts from the day all documents are submitted to the FMS. If the deadlines have passed, but there is no new passport, then you should contact the head of the passport office with a complaint.
Registration of other documents
Replacing a passport after marriage when changing your name is only the first step, but, alas, far from the only one. It will be necessary to exchange many more documents, however, already without haste. However, you must remember that you may have problems with the divergence of the name in the passport and on other certificates. Therefore, the first time you should always carry in your purse a certificate of registration of marriage as proof of identity. The list of documents to be replaced is quite large, and you will have to get a new passport, driver’s license, TIN, insurance certificate, compulsory medical insurance policy, plastic cards and a savings book. In order to collect all the certificates and get new documents, you will have to spend a lot of time and effort, so it becomes clear why many modern ladies want to leave the old name.
However, not everything is so scary, because when changing the name you do not need to change the work book, you just need to inform the employer about the change of passport data, and you do not need to change the certificate of ownership. Moreover, there is no need to change a diploma or other document on education.
