To be able to go abroad on vacation or on a business trip at any time, you need to change your passport in time. This is done in the event that its validity period has expired, you changed your surname or the document is lost.
In order to change your passport, you need to collect a set of documents. First, it is a valid civil passport; secondly, a military ID or a certificate from the military registration and enlistment office. They will be needed by men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-seven in order to confirm that they have completed compulsory military service or are exempt from it. Third - permission to obtain a foreign passport from the command of the unit (only for soldiers and officers of the regular army). Fourth - a document confirming the legality of the change of surname, in the event that a new passport is issued on this basis. Fifth - photographs (for an old document - three pieces, for a biometric one - two). Pictures can be either black and white or color. The main thing is that the image is matte, in an oval with shading.
In addition, be sure to fill out and print the form. You can download it from the official website of the Office of the Federal Migration Service of Russia - https://www.fms.gov.ru/documents/passportrf/. Answer questions honestly. The organization that controls the registration of foreign passports will still reveal incorrect information, and the issuance will be refused. Do not forget to also pay the document fee and present a receipt when contacting the territorial office of the FMS. An old passport is needed only if its validity period has not expired.
Having collected the necessary set of documents, go to the Office of the Federal Migration Service at the place of registration. His employee will verify the authenticity of the securities and send them to the appropriate department to confirm the accuracy of the specified information. About a month after the first application, the new passport will be ready.
You can also issue a new passport using the portal https://www.gosuslugi.ru/. To do this, you need to register on the website, fill out an electronic form, send it to the FMS and wait for an invitation to present original documents.
