How to replace an expired passport?

When is a passport deemed expired and what threatens with an expired passport? This question is surely asked by many citizens. Everyone knows that throughout our lives, three passports will be in our hands. The first is issued at fourteen and is valid up to 20 years. The second - from 20 to 45 and the third from 45 years to the end of life. Of course, this rule has certain exceptions - for example, at 23, a woman can marry and take her spouse's name. In this case, she will have to change her passport with a new surname without waiting for 45 years.

The first passport is received by a teenager at the age of 14 - for this he needs to bring a receipt for the payment of 100 rubles for issuing a form, a couple of photos, an insert on Russian citizenship and a birth certificate. Many people are drawn to the last moment with the paperwork and having come to the passport office they are surprised to learn that citizenship must be issued separately, that it is not automatically assigned to children born in Russia. To avoid this, you must bring your parents' passports to the house in advance.

A passport obtained at age 14 must be changed at age 20. If the passport is expired, that is, the person did not apply for renewal within 10 days, you will have to pay a tidy sum to pay the administrative fine. What is the size of the fine? An expired passport will cost a citizen from 1,500 to 2,500 thousand rubles. Despite the fact that passport offices, as a rule, appoint a minimum amount, one and a half thousand remain a tangible punishment.

When you change your passport in 20 years, documents are needed already different. It is necessary to bring an old passport, documents on the basis of which marks are made on its pages: certificate of divorce or registration of marriage (if any), a piece of paper confirming registration at the place of residence, birth certificate of the child / children (also, if any), receipt of payment of one hundred state duty and two photographs. All these are necessary no later than 10 days after the citizen is twenty years old. An expired passport that has not been replaced within the specified period will be considered invalid.

Another popular reason for changing your passport is marriage. Of course, there are cases of changing the surname and first name for other reasons - because of their inconsistency or unattractiveness for the face of their wearer. But such cases are rare. An expired passport when changing a surname is a passport that has not been replaced ten days after the day of marriage. But the fine will be taken from the woman only if she did not apply for renewal within a month. Perhaps such concessions are related to the specifics of the moment - many newlyweds leave immediately after registration for honey leave and simply physically can not do paperwork. However, it is wiser to first reissue all the documents, and only then go with rest and rest to rest.

If you still couldnโ€™t meet the deadlines, you need to bring an expired passport, two photos, a marriage registration certificate, a receipt with a mark on the payment of the state duty for replacement. If the employees of the passport office did not demand to pay a fine - consider that you managed to get off easily.

The next age mark is 45 years. It is at this age that an expired passport should be changed. The replacement period is exactly the same as in 20 years - 10 days. And the documents are the same.

Do not forget that if a passport is expired, a citizen may encounter certain difficulties. For example, he may not be issued a ticket for a long-distance trip at the railway station or he will have to postpone the paperwork for the purchase of an apartment.

Passport is the main identification document. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully monitor its condition and change it in time.
