Old style international passport - advantages

Such a document has several advantages. Firstly, it costs less. Secondly, its processing takes a short time, in special situations only three days. You can get it urgently in a situation where a person needs immediate treatment abroad or in the event of a serious illness or death of a loved one located in another state.

An old-style foreign passport is beneficial for people who do not need a document with a long validity period. The validity period of a new international passport is 10 years. For example, if a person rarely leaves the country or plans to change his last name. In this case, there is no point in overpaying. A 5-year passport will be much more convenient.

Also, in the old-style international passport, it is possible to continue to enter the presence of children, confirming the family connection with them. A biometric document does not have such capabilities.

What does an old-style international passport look like? The cover of the old passport is burgundy, with inscriptions with the name of the state and “passport”. How many pages are there in a passport? It contains 36 paper pages, the last one containing a photograph covered with a protective film. The new international passport consists of 46 pages, one of which is plastic.

Special cases for expedited consideration of an application

An application for a foreign passport can be processed by the migration service urgently; the procedure usually takes no more than four working days. The basis for a quick review is the provision of one of these documents:

A certified telegraphic message received from abroad, which contains reliable information about the death of a relative or about the presence of a serious illness.
A letter sent by a foreign medical institution stating that the applicant requires emergency treatment. It is also necessary to provide a conclusion from a local medical organization confirming the critical condition of the patient.
Permission from the military commander to travel outside the country.
A document from the health authorities, according to which the applicant must travel outside of Russia to carry out the necessary treatment abroad.

The application for quick review should be completed in accordance with the established form.
In addition, a list of circumstances, if any, is indicated under which a citizen cannot leave the territory of his native country in accordance with the paragraphs of the Russian Federal Law. The signature is affixed in the strictly designated place. A minor citizen is required to sign at the department of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the time of submitting a package of documents.

Information about state duty for 2021

Payment of the state fee by the applicant for an old-style international passport is made at a strictly established rate. Parents (legal representatives) of children who do not have an internal Russian passport are required to pay 1 thousand rubles; for minor citizens over 14 years of age, the fee is 2 thousand, as well as for those over 18 years old.

If you need to make amendments to a document that is valid for a certain period of time, you need to pay 500 rubles. This is required when information about a child is added to the passport.

Bank details are different for all regions, and they also differ in the type of services provided. A paid receipt is considered valid for three years from the date of payment.

The most common way to carry out the procedure is to pay through a Sberbank terminal or at a cash desk through an operator.

You can also contact any other bank branch, through which it is more convenient to receive a check. Many people prefer to pay online using a remote payment management service. This is possible if you have a card from the corresponding financial institution. In many regions of the country, payment is available through the State Services Portal.

Payment details can always be found at the nearest regional migration service office or at Sberbank. It is possible to print a receipt in which the necessary regional details have already been entered. The applicant is only required to enter the time of payment, residential address and last name, first name, patronymic. You should definitely pay attention to the codes of the desired municipal institution (territorial administration), especially OKTMO (introduced 2 years ago instead of OKATO). It is recommended that you check this information as details change frequently.

General requirements for filling out the application form for a foreign passport

The contents of the application form for obtaining a foreign identity card are established by the Administrative Regulations approved by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated November 16, 2017 No. 864. The questionnaire form is contained in Appendix No. 1.

The application form for obtaining a biometric foreign passport and an old-style identity card are the same. And since the application form for issuing both types of passports is the same, the applicant simply marks with a cross in the application form which passport he needs.

The application form for obtaining a foreign identity card of any format is filled out according to the following rules:

Answers to questions are written by hand in block letters in black or blue ink. Errors and crossed out words are not allowed;
You can fill out the application on your computer using a text editor. To do this, you need to download the application form from the official resource, fill it out electronically and print it out;
in order to select the desired item in the answer to one of the questions, the applicant should put an “X” - a cross (“V” or other marks placed in the selected box will be considered an error) in the corresponding square;
in the questionnaire, the applicant indicates that he has no obligations (unpaid fines, alimony, credit, or other) that prevent him from leaving the Russian Federation;
The application form is filled out on one sheet of paper on both sides (and the reverse side). If you print out the application form on two separate sheets, the GUVM office will not accept it;
There is no need to paste the applicant’s photo into the field provided for this purpose - the photo is provided in a package along with other documents.

To avoid comments from an employee of the Main Department of Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and filling out the form again, you can enter data into the questionnaire on the computer.

Due to the fact that official data is entered into the application for a foreign passport, in order to avoid mistakes, you must have the following documents with you:

national Russian passport;
existing valid or canceled passport (if any);
employment history;
confirmation of the change of first name, patronymic or last name (marriage registration certificate, certificate, court decision or other);
child's birth certificate (if you want to include children under 14 years of age in the passport).

The correctness and veracity of the information specified in the questionnaire minimizes the likelihood of refusal to issue a passport.

If you decide to submit an application form in electronic format using the Unified Portal, you must attach a personal photograph in electronic form to the correctly completed form.

Step-by-step instructions for filling out the application form for an old-style international passport for adults (over 18 years old)

A Russian citizen who has turned 18 years of age has the right to contact the authorized government body with a request to obtain a foreign passport in his name.

To do this, an adult Russian fills out an application form.

The questionnaire asks the applicant to answer 16 questions:

in the first paragraph you must indicate your full name in the nominative (not genitive) case;
the fifth question should contain information about the previous last name, first name or patronymic (if the applicant previously had a different full name);
in paragraph 6 “Residence address” the address of the registered place of residence (registration) indicated in the national passport is indicated;
Points 8 and 9 (telephone and email address) can be filled in as desired;
question 13 of the questionnaire is completed if the applicant already has a valid international passport of an old or new type;
in paragraph 14 on the reverse side of the application form, information about places of work over the last 10 years, including studies in educational institutions and military service, is entered. Information about the place of work (name of the company or organization) is indicated without abbreviations;
paragraphs 15 and 16 are noted by applicants who wish to include information about a child in their passport or submit an application in relation to an incapacitated person.

If the application form for obtaining an international passport of the old format is filled out by a pensioner, then the names and addresses of all enterprises (places of work) for the last 10 years are entered in section 14 of the application “Information on work activity over the last 10 years”. If a person has pensioner status for more than 10 years, then the table indicates the period of time during which the pensioner did not work (for example, 12.2014 - N.V. (present)), and the pensioner’s residential address is entered in the “Location of the organization” column.

Photo requirements

One of the main requirements to begin consideration of the applicant’s application is a high-quality photograph taken in accordance with all the rules for an old-style international passport. It should be made on matte paper, with a blurred oval at the bottom measuring 3.5 by 4.5 cm. The photo is taken from the front. After receiving the photograph, there is no need to paste anything; the approved photographs will be used by migration service employees.

There are certain requirements for the photograph, failure to comply with which will result in the full package of documents being sent back to the applicant for redoing. It is not recommended to wear white or brightly colored clothes. Only people who adhere to certain religious rules can be photographed wearing a headdress ( the only condition is an open oval face ). You cannot tilt your head or take pictures in uniform or glasses whose frames cover your eyes.

A common mistake is that the glass is heavily tinted or dirty. Lighting should clearly highlight facial features; No foreign objects are allowed in the photograph.
