We live in society. It is a fact. You can, of course, separate yourself from everyone and live in the forest, somewhere far away, alone, but as long as we all stick together, we must obey the general laws. First of all, they include the obligation to have a certain set of documents.
It is worth noting that these are not the requirements of only our individual state, these are general rules of the whole world. The first document that any citizen of absolutely any country is required to have is a passport proving his identity within the society where he lives.
Outside the state, a passport comes into force. Therefore, if you plan to become a "citizen of the world", you must have such a document, otherwise it will be impossible to move abroad.
Receiving or exchanging a passport (if you have already received this document before) is not a troublesome procedure. Overshadow this ceremony can only be a banal misunderstanding of the process and prolonged standing in lines. Well, if few people can help you with the latter, then it’s not difficult to understand the essence of the whole process.
Receiving and exchanging a passport are two completely identical procedures, although they are called differently. In both cases, you will need to prepare a completely identical set of documents. Just if you are going to get a passport again, then you will need to provide a photocopy and the original of the previous copy.
So, the receipt and exchange of a passport will require you to provide the inspector of the FMS, located at your place of residence, a set of documents that includes four photographs taken in a photo studio. If you plan to get a passport of a new sample, then one of the images should be three-dimensional taken in the department of the migration service.
Then you need to fill out two applications for the receipt or exchange of a passport. Documents must be certified at the place of work or study. If you are not employed, you will have to bring the inspector a photocopy and the original work book.
Naturally, you will be required to pay a state fee, which is one thousand rubles, if you get an old copy, and for the new version you will have to pay two and a half thousand. By the way, the difference between passports is not only in price, but also in the period for which you draw it up. It is five and ten years respectively.
This is a list of a common set of documents. Next are the subtleties and nuances. For example, if you are a teenager over fourteen with a passport, you will be required to provide, among other things, a birth certificate. And you can submit a set of documents only in the presence of one of the parents, who has with him a photocopy and the original of his own passport.
An exchange of a passport when changing a surname will oblige you to provide, in addition to the main set of documents, a basis for replacement (marriage certificate, for example) and fill out an application accordingly. If you are a man of military age, then you need to bring a certificate from the military enlistment office.
It is better to learn about these subtleties in advance from the inspector. This will not only reduce the number of visits to the Department of the FMS, but also save your nerves and time.
