Passport is the main identity document. Sometimes situations arise in which you yourself can lose your passport or they can steal it from you, then you will have to restore it.
According to the current legislation, a passport is changed in the following situations:
- identification by the owner or relevant services of any inaccuracies in the entered data;
- if the passport has expired;
- if the passport holder has changed his gender;
- A passport is also being replaced when its owner reaches 20 and 45 years;
- the passport has fallen into disrepair and its further use is impossible;
- in the event that the sheets on which the corresponding marks are put down have ended.
A new passport is issued to all citizens of the Russian Federation who, at the time of issue, have reached the age of 14, so applying for a new passport should not be submitted earlier than a month before reaching the indicated age.
Passport change is carried out in the departments of citizenship and migration, for this you need to provide your passport, which must be replaced, or a statement about its loss. You will be given an application form, in addition, you will need 2 photos. Their size should be 35x45 mm, and it does not matter what they are - black and white or color, the main thing is that they be of high quality. If earlier it was forbidden to submit photos for a passport in headgear, now it is allowed, but they should not hide the oval of the face. If you take pictures with glasses, the glasses in them should not be tinted. If you do not have the opportunity to prepare your photos in advance, you can do this right in the units that issue passports. Also, you will need to submit all documents on the basis of which they will fill out the sections of your passport, these should be:
