A civil passport is an important document without which it is problematic to live on the territory of the Russian Federation from a certain moment. This is a universal ID. Passport is involved in many state and municipal services. With its help, citizens order various documents, draw up benefits and payments, and turn to various organizations for help. Today we will be interested in the cost of replacing a passport. Will I have to pay at all for the production of an identity card? Or can you get rid of fees and replace your passport absolutely free?
Reasons for applying for a service
First, find out when an application for a replacement passport can be submitted. This service is quite common in Russia. Therefore, we will later find out how to re-issue a civilian ID.
Today, a passport can be replaced:
- by age (at 20 and 45 years old);
- due to changes in personal data (last name, first name, patronymic, gender);
- if typos are found in the document;
- in connection with the loss;
- with a strong change in appearance;
- due to damage to the documentation.
The algorithm of actions in all these cases will be approximately the same. The cost of replacing a passport is also slightly different. For example, when exchanging a document by age, there will be one price tag, in connection with a change in personal data - another, and due to loss of paper - a third.
Where to go for help
An application for a replacement passport is submitted to certain authorities. Which ones?
In Russia in 2018, an application of the established form can be submitted to:
- MFC;
- UFMS;
- Passport Office;
- passport and visa center;
- the management company at which the passport office is located;
- single window services;
- migration centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It all depends on the personal preferences of the citizen. The cost of replacing a passport does not depend on the body to which the application is filed. Details of the recipient of funds will also be the same. Money is transferred to the local migration service. Details for the operation are issued in all the places listed above.
Important: if desired, citizens can apply for the exchange of identity cards through the "State Services". This technique is becoming more popular every day.
Standard duty
In what years is a passport replaced by law? As we already said, the exchange of identity cards in connection with the achievement of a certain age is carried out at 20 and at 45 years. This is a legal requirement in Russia.
What is the cost of replacing a passport in this case? In 2018, the state duty reaches 300 rubles. You will have to pay the same amount if the document is exchanged:
- due to a change in personal information;
- due to typos and inaccuracies in the identification card;
- due to a change in appearance;
- if a person changes his place of residence or gender.
Important: the initial production of an identity card at the age of 14 also costs 300 rubles.
In case of loss
If a person has lost a passport, he will have to pay more. The cost of replacing a passport due to its theft or loss increases significantly. This is a completely normal phenomenon, fixed at the legislative level.
First, a citizen may be fined for losing a civil passport. According to the law, it ranges from one hundred to three hundred rubles. The payment is educational in nature. A fine is not always imposed; a citizen can be issued a warning.
Secondly, without fail, the applicant will need to pay the state fee in the established amounts when reissuing the passport. From time to time, the cost of the service changes. In 2018, 1,500 rubles must be paid for the loss of a passport.
No more mandatory costs. It remains to form a package of documents for filing an application, and then contact the registration authority for a new passport.
Important: among the expenses incurred in the manufacture of a passport, the cost of personal photographs can be separately distinguished, but this payment has nothing to do with the state duty.
When a document is damaged
How much does it cost to replace a damaged passport? In this case, the citizen needs to pay more than when exchanging ID cards by age. This is quite normal.
To date, the exchange of damaged identification cards costs 1,500 rubles. Additionally, a person may be fined up to 300 rubles.
Accordingly, you will have to pay as much as in the event of the loss of a civil passport. Such rules help to quickly remember the size of state duties in a particular case.
Government Services and New Features
We found out how much it costs to replace a passport in 45 years. The cost of state duty in Russia may vary, but so far the size of the corresponding payment is only three hundred rubles. In some cases, it is necessary to give one and a half thousand.
If citizens apply through Government Services before the start of 2019, they can qualify for a small discount. When paying state fees through the ESIA Gosuslugi portal, citizens reduce the size of the payment by 30%. This right is granted until January 1, 2019. Nothing is known about the extension of the discount system.
Based on the foregoing, we can hope for a decrease in passport fees to 210 or 1050 rubles. A nice bonus, but it’s problematic to use it in the absence of a profile registered with the State Service.
