How to replace a passport in another city in 2021

Why do you need to change your passport?

There may be several reasons for reissuing an identity document. Regardless of why the citizen decided to change his passport, this procedure is mandatory. Otherwise, the person will bear administrative responsibility for the lack of a document.

It is necessary to change your passport if:

a Russian citizen has reached 20 or 45 years of age (if you ignore the law, you will face a fine for an expired passport);
the ID was lost or damaged;
there was an error in the original document or the information was difficult to read;
adjustments were made to personal data (full name, etc.);
the person has resorted to plastic surgery;
the owner changed gender.

30 days are allotted for re-issuance of the document. It is recommended to submit an application for restoration or replacement of your passport as early as possible. Firstly, it will help avoid problems with the law. And secondly, not a single formal operation is possible without providing personal identification.

In what cases is it necessary to replace your passport?

Important! Please keep in mind that:

Existing without a passport in current conditions implies the emergence of difficulties in gaining access to some benefits - it will be problematic for a citizen to realize most of the rights due by law. Therefore, the procedure for replacing a document is strictly regulated. The following grounds can be used to initiate the re-registration process:

At the age when a passport replacement is necessary: 20 and 45 years. This approach is due to significant age-related changes in appearance. If this reason had not been provided, then problems would arise with successful identification of the individual.
In case of loss or theft of a document.
If your passport has become unusable. It is not important whether the owner intentionally damaged it or whether this happened due to time and unfavorable climatic influences. In any case, if the contents of the certificate are difficult or simply impossible to decipher, then this is a signal for replacement.
When changing personal data: gender, full name.
If errors or inaccuracies are found in the document.
With dramatic changes in the appearance of the holder.

Other grounds cannot be accepted as sufficient.

Where is the replacement carried out?

You need to restore and change your passport at the place of registration of the citizen, at the migration service department or the MFC. However, not every person has the opportunity to resolve this issue in a short time, and therefore Russians are allowed to replace their passports in another city.

Procedure for receiving at the place of stay

A citizen asking the question “Is it possible to get a passport in another city?” should be guided by the administrative regulations of the Russian Migration Service and Order No. 310 of the Federal Migration Service. To obtain a document at your place of residence, you need to contact the Federal Migration Service and submit the appropriate application, after which you need to pay a state fee: 300 rubles for a scheduled change and 1,500 for a lost or damaged one. The next step is providing the necessary documents.

This procedure for obtaining also applies to those who are interested in whether it is possible to change their passport in another region. If the MFS does not have any questions for the applicant, the service employee announces the approximate waiting period. Changing a passport in another city without registration can take up to 60 days, therefore, the citizen is issued a temporary certificate.

Through the Internet

Many citizens aged 21 to 30 are concerned about the question: “Can I send a passport by mail?” Changing a personal document of the Russian Federation is possible remotely - using the portal of state and municipal services.

To carry out the procedure, registration on the site is required. The user's identity is confirmed by an electronic signature or a universal card. After activation has been completed successfully, the applicant receives an individual code. It must be entered into the appropriate field on the screen - this will give access to all services on the portal.

Next, you need to go to your personal account and submit an electronic application (the template is available on the website), attaching copies of documents to it. Notification of approval or refusal of the request is sent to the citizen’s specified email address within several days.

Application for a new passport.
Two color photographs.
Child birth (marriage) certificate.

How to get a passport without a residence permit?

If you do not have a residence permit in your city of residence, from the point of view of the migration service, you are given the status of a non-resident. And according to the law of the Russian Federation, nonresident citizens can, on a general basis, apply to the department of the Main Directorate for Migration Issues of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to obtain a foreign passport.

According to the current legislation, it does not matter where a citizen is registered, he can apply for a foreign passport where he lives, and no one has the right to refuse him.

If, after contacting the Department of Internal Affairs, you hear the opposite, you can safely go to court - the law will be on your side. In judicial practice, such cases are becoming less and less common - several high-profile cases related to the incompetence of migration service employees have closed the issue. Now more often we have to deal with the incompetence of citizens who do not know their rights.

Temporary ID

This type of ID is considered analogous to a passport. The maximum validity period is 2 months from the date of issue (can be extended if necessary). To receive a temporary document, you need to provide:

A corresponding statement written according to the model established by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
Birth certificate.
International passport (if available).
Two color photos.

The certificate is issued to the citizen on the day of application to the passport office. As a rule, the procedure does not take more than 40 minutes. An employee of the organization writes out personal data from the provided documents, pastes in a photograph and puts the appropriate stamp. Payment of the state fee for issuing a temporary certificate is not required, since this document is not independent.

The ID can be used when purchasing train or air tickets to move around Russia, applying for bank loans, closing or opening accounts, concluding employment contracts, and registering a marriage.

What is the difference between the treatment of people with registration and without registration?

Any Russian citizen can get a foreign passport without registration, no matter where he is in the Russian Federation. For example, you can apply for a foreign passport in Moscow without having a Moscow residence permit. The difference between filing at the place of registration and at the place of residence is that in the second case the deadline for preparing the document is significantly delayed.

If you contact the Main Migration Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at home, they will issue you a passport in one month; if in another place, you will need to wait about 4 months. In 80% of cases, a document for traveling abroad will be issued earlier, but by law it can take about 120 days, which is not always convenient if you need to obtain a foreign passport urgently.

When you arrive at the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a full set of documents, do not forget to notify the inspector that you are from out of town. This will be clarified along the way, but it is better to immediately focus on your status, then things will go a little faster.

As for the documents, you are required to have a standard package - exactly the same as what is needed for submission at your place of registration.

Actions in case of failure

If the request to change the document was not approved, you need to understand the reasons for this. In the case of a clearly formulated and written reason, the applicant needs to take into account the comments and eliminate the problem as soon as possible. A legal justification may be the absence of any document in the provided package, an incorrectly drawn up application, false information, counterfeit papers, etc.

If the government organization has not given reasons for its decision, the citizen must contact the leadership of the migration department. As a rule, this is enough to solve the problem. You can also send a complaint to the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

Documents to be presented to the Ministry of Internal Affairs

When collecting documents, include the following in the package:

Internal passport.
Photos. Their number depends on what type of passport you intend to issue - a new or old type international passport. The first carries electronic information about the owner - his biometric data. For an old-style passport, you must provide 4 standard-type photographs.
Work record book if you are not working and a copy of the work record book if you are employed.
A military ID, which will indicate that you have already served or that you are unfit or partially unfit for service, or a certificate from the military registration and enlistment office, which will indicate that you have no restrictions on traveling outside our state.
If you are still in the service, you need official permission from the command to leave.
Old foreign passport.
A receipt indicating that you have paid the state fee. The fee for a new passport is 3,500 rubles, for an old one – 2 thousand; for children under 14 years old – 1500 and 1 thousand rubles. If changes are made to an existing document, the fee will be 500 rubles.
If you have a temporary registration, it is advisable to present it as well.
Application form. One copy of the application for a new international passport. Or two copies of the application form for a standard old-style international passport.

Some citizens are faced with the problem of providing a work book and employment information. Unfortunately, many now work unofficially or under contract. In this case, you do not need to present your work book, but honestly indicate in the application form that you work, but unofficially.

Lack of work and work record cannot serve as grounds for refusal to issue a foreign passport.

Who can be refused a passport?

Regardless of whether you are from out of town or local, there are a number of reasons why the Ministry of Internal Affairs refuses to issue a foreign passport. We are talking about people who are prohibited by law from leaving the territory of the Russian Federation. These include:

citizens who do not have an actual residence address;
persons with access to information that is not subject to disclosure; conscripts;
citizens who have been subject to criminal or administrative punishment.

If you fall into one of the listed categories, applying for a foreign passport will be a waste of time. By submitting false information about yourself, you will also achieve nothing.

Passports take so long to be produced (1-4 months) only because each applicant undergoes a thorough check.

All you will achieve by cheating is trouble.

A matter of urgency

Today you can often find advertisements of companies that promise not only assistance in obtaining a passport without registration, but also guarantee the utmost urgency in issuing the document. Should we believe such promises?

Representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs warn citizens that the migration service does not provide paid services for expedited processing of travel documents. GUVM is the only institution that issues foreign passports. Therefore, without her knowledge, no one will be able to speed up the document production process.

The GUVM repeatedly warns Russians in the press that citizens often contact the service with complaints about companies that, having pledged to ensure urgent receipt of a foreign passport, issue it to clients within the traditional time frame or even later. Therefore, we advise you to contact either directly the UVM or only trusted and reliable companies that have been working in the market for a long time and have connections in various institutions.

There must be compelling reasons for urgent, within three days, production of a passport:

death of a close relative outside the country;
the applicant’s illness requiring immediate participation of foreign medical specialists;
illness of a loved one abroad;
the need to take the body of a loved one abroad for funeral.

Each of the reasons must be documented.

There is no additional charge for urgency.

Whether or not you should contact companies that promise to provide foreign passports to nonresidents faster than if you were to apply for one at your place of registration is up to you. Weigh the pros and cons, consider the risks and make a decision. In the event of an error, UVM will not bear any responsibility for your mistake.

If you have a documented reason for quickly obtaining a passport, they will issue it to you in three days, but only the old version. Technical conditions do not yet allow making a biometric passport so quickly.
