Documents for a passport

If you have never traveled further than Russian territory and decided to relax abroad this year, then you can not do without a passport. You need to worry about getting it in advance so that no troubles overshadow the upcoming trip. First you need to decide which passport you want, old or new, and collect all the necessary documents for a passport.

The list of documents for obtaining an old-style passport.

For an adult:

  • Photocopies of each internal page of the passport of the Russian Federation;
  • an application for a passport in two copies, each of which should be certified with the seal and signature of the head at the workplace;
  • four matte photographs in an oval, 3.5 x 4.5 centimeters in size;
  • Photocopies of each completed page of the work book, certified by a seal at the workplace. If a person is retired or does not work, then photocopies are provided simultaneously with the original work book;
  • if the passport has already been received and you change it, you must provide a photocopy of the main page on which all your personal data are located (name, full date of birth and date of issue of the passport);
  • for men 18-27 years old, a photocopy of a military card with a stamp on the service in the army of the Russian Federation or a certificate in form 32 received at the military enlistment office must be presented;
  • retirees will need to provide a copy of their pension certificate.

  • Photocopies of each page of the passport of the Russian Federation of the child, with the provision of the original at the time of receipt of the passport;
  • photocopy of the issued baby's birth certificate;
  • a photocopy of the insert on the child’s citizenship of the Russian Federation;
  • if the child already had a passport and you change it, then you must provide a photocopy of the main page, which contains the photo, name, date of issue and date of birth of the child; application form in duplicate, each of which is signed by the parent;

To obtain a passport, you will also need to pay a state fee. For children under 14 years old, the state duty is half as much as for an adult. If for some reason you were refused a passport, the state duty will be refunded in full or in part. The refusal of extradition is based only on the existence of circumstances stipulated by federal laws. Documents for a passport (biometric) of a new sample are submitted in the same composition as for a passport of an old sample, but a note is put in the application form.

  • the application can be filled out electronically or by hand. When filling manually, you can use blue or black ink and write in block letters;
  • established liability for the provision of false documents and the completeness of the information that is indicated in the application;
  • upon reaching a citizen of 18 years, he submits documents and fills out an application in person;
  • for children under 18 years old, all documents are submitted by the parent;
  • the application shall indicate not only personal data, but the presence or absence of reasons that may impede the departure from Russia, provided for by the Federal Law.
